@@rving642 Luckily my partner is a good carpenter which clearly helped. Used 12ml mdf boards cut to size. Screwed to wall into the studs. Fixed horizontal and vertical surrounds to ensure puzzle is level (same principle as tiling). In 500 piece segments, mod-podge the front and allowed to dry. I had my sections stacked on foam core in the correct running order. Use pva glue on back and mount to mdf board, starting with bottom left corner moving in horizontal rows. Importantly, the small 500pc glued sections ensure the 'ins & outs' zip together cleanly. Larger dried modpodged sections do not fit together snugly (shrinkage and such, learned from past experience). Took a very long day to mount! It's always been a great talking point with visitors, lol. Hth 🙂

OMG....I am so excited you are tackling this during the pandemic. The biggest puzzle I completed was 8000 pieces and when it was completed, 6 pieces were missing😱. I used foam board also and taped them together to extend over my dining room table. If you haven’t already planned this, as you finish each bag/foam layer, spread your next bag on a new layer of taped foam board and then complete layer two. When finished with all 4 layers, take a fifth layer of foam board, place on top of 4 layers, and then tape all 5 layers of foam board around edges. This will allow you to move your layers with little or no piece movement, allowing you to join them for photography😀. I’ll be following your progress and hope you don’t let this puzzle take over your apartment and “LIFE”! Fun! Fun! Fun!

We had about 20 Wheels puzzles that after Mod-podging them on cardboard we mounted them on my garage door on hooks. As the door raised the puzzles go vertical , then slowly stays that way as the door closes. But what I wanted to ad was, we noticed people on KZread using a paint brush to Mod-Podge a puzzle however, We found that a plastic squeegee worked much better forcing the glue into the puzzle cracks. The pink squeegees that is used in Bondo body repair that's sold at automobile parts store worked much better that a paint bush.

Back when it came up, my whole family tackled "The Sixtine Chapel" puzzle, also from Educa, which was 18000 pieces. It came in four bags and we didn't mix them up. It was a family tradition of ours to get a big puzzle for Christmas and we typically finished it by the summer (we usually worked on the puzzles in our vacation home). But this one took almost two years to complete. It is a great image for a puzzle: not only is it beautiful, but it has a lot of fine detail and plenty of very useful straight lines and "frames".

I wonder if you will go for the 42000 pieces one day...I know it is a lot more but seeing how mentally strong and dedicated, 42000 should not be a problem. The only thing is where to display it once completed.

@Shadowstar793 жыл бұрын
We are starting almost at the same time on this one! I have sorted the first puzzle part. I have the edges layed out and a few fish are complete. But this is a harder puzzle then I thought! It doesn't have the 4 inner and outer pieces. It only has 4 different puzzle pieces. And the don't always line up exactly. That's an other challenge I found out. Good luck to you Karen! You puzzle way faster than I do, so I'm curious at your progress. Aye it will make mine a bit easier because I can use your video's as cheat video's! 🤣

Fixed horizontal and vertical surrounds to ensure puzzle is level (same principle as tiling). In 500 piece segments, mod-podge the front and allowed to dry. I had my sections stacked on foam core in the correct running order. Use pva glue on back and mount to mdf board, starting with bottom left corner moving in horizontal rows. Importantly, the small 500pc glued sections ensure the 'ins & outs' zip together cleanly. Larger dried modpodged sections do not fit together snugly (shrinkage and such, learned from past experience). Took a very long day to mount! It's always been a great talking point with visitors, lol. Hth 🙂

OMG....I am so excited you are tackling this during the pandemic. The biggest puzzle I completed was 8000 pieces and when it was completed, 6 pieces were missing😱. I used foam board also and taped them together to extend over my dining room table. If you haven’t already planned this, as you finish each bag/foam layer, spread your next bag on a new layer of taped foam board and then complete layer two. When finished with all 4 layers, take a fifth layer of foam board, place on top of 4 layers, and then tape all 5 layers of foam board around edges. This will allow you to move your layers with little or no piece movement, allowing you to join them for photography😀. I’ll be following your progress and hope you don’t let this puzzle take over your apartment and “LIFE”! Fun! Fun! Fun!

Just a note: "quebra-cabeças" would still be used informally, even in the meaning of "riddle". But yeah, it's fun to see that it just slightly deviates from the meaning used in Brasil and apparently in other Latin American countries!

I’ve done 35 since last March. 30 x1000 piece puzzles and 3 x 2000 pieces. So absorbing and so satisfying
I saw the number 24,000 and my head started to hurt
"Now I make my own videos to make my own hall of fame". That really hit me in the feels 😔 there needs to a petition to get you into the hall of fame
When I grind away late at night on my engineering degree the only thing that keeps me doing is the thought of being financially stable enough to buy this exact puzzle.

Hi Karen! I just recently discovered your channel....and I love it!!! I used to do puzzles a lot when I was younger (I'm now 49) And now, binge watching your videos, I've started again! I cannot do them anywhere near as fast as you...but that's "life". 🤪 Thanks for renewing my passion for puzzles ❤
My wife and I found 40 puzzles in a thrift shop that was closing down. I offered them 50 cents each for the whole bunch and they excepted. We had about 20 Wheels puzzles that after Mod-podging them on cardboard we mounted them on my garage door on hooks. As the door raised the puzzles go vertical , then slowly stays that way as the door closes. But what I wanted to ad was, we noticed people on KZread using a paint brush to Mod-Podge a puzzle however, We found that a plastic squeegee worked much better forcing the glue into the puzzle cracks. The pink squeegees that is used in Bondo body repair that's sold at automobile parts store worked much better that a paint bush. We love, my wife and I, watching your videos and have become a puzzle couple. Keep up the great work, Ft. Myers, Florida and Retired.
Back when it came up, my whole family tackled "The Sixtine Chapel" puzzle, also from Educa, which was 18000 pieces. It came in four bags and we didn't mix them up. It was a family tradition of ours to get a big puzzle for Christmas and we typically finished it by the summer (we usually worked on the puzzles in our vacation home). But this one took almost two years to complete. It is a great image for a puzzle: not only is it beautiful, but it has a lot of fine detail and plenty of very useful straight lines and "frames".

I just started doing puzzles during this quarantine .. Never in my life did I think I would enjoy doing puzzles but I absolutely love this.. I can do 550 pieces so far 😆.. I have purchased 750 pieces I’m working myself there.. I have bought so many puzzles it addictive..I’m excited to see you complete this large puzzle
I'm not a puzzle person. I'm impatient and need instant gratification for my monkey-brain. But seeing you so passionate about puzzling is a gift to witness. Your excitement is contagious.
I remember watching this video, then justifying the 6' K'Nex Ferris wheel, I went and bought it, and got it! I built it, and took it apart, and now I still have it. It's so awesome. It's not a puzzle, but there are 18000+ pieces!! :) I did it in 4 days
And I used to think 1000 pieces was one of the hardest things one can do in "life" 😭😭

I'm so happy for you, Karen! My dream puzzle is definetely the Disney's 40320 pieces. I know it's so out of my range, but a boy can dream. Or at least that someone in my life bought it and let me do the Little Mermaid section, I'd be pleased.
That's impressive. My biggest was 4000 at once (and another one which was two bags 2000 each), and I believe 2000 is my comfort limit, just sorting more than that is painful.

I've done 4000 and it was by mixing the 2 x 2000 bags 😀 I'm surprised you didn't mix the bags but its having somewhere to keep them all!
That intro was so cute! I loved watching her get so excited for her puzzle (and rightly so. That is an awesome puzzle)!
This is amazing. Give me a cabin in the woods, stash of coffee, stash of yummy food and some good music and I would LOVE to put something like this together for weeks there. I want to get the 40,000 piece Disney puzzle so badly.
I live super close to the Educa factory in Spain, when that puzzle came out, some Schools got it (Maybe Educa gave it to them?). That box was in my School's hallway for the most time I was there, but it never got started, I guess no teacher was brave enough to do this with the children hahaha.
karen now: i hope to finish this in a couple months or so Also Karen: 29th jan 2023: ok guys i have finaly finished this puzzle, it looks epic!
Randomly found this video on my recommended list on YT. After playing the whole 24000 piece playlist. I started watching some other videos of yours like the puzzle with only edges...definitely worth the time and made you on my sub list. Your voice is so calm and genuine when expressing emotions such as amazement. I wonder if you will go for the 42000 pieces one day...I know it is a lot more but seeing how mentally strong and dedicated, 42000 should not be a problem. The only thing is where to display it once completed.
I'm about to finish a really beautiful 1000 piece puzzle so I was googling how to frame it and came across your channel! puzzling might just have become my new favourite hobby just by seeing the joy you have in puzzling!!
We are starting almost at the same time on this one! I have sorted the first puzzle part. I have the edges layed out and a few fish are complete. But this is a harder puzzle then I thought! It doesn't have the 4 inner and outer pieces. It only has 4 different puzzle pieces. And the don't always line up exactly. That's an other challenge I found out. Good luck to you Karen! You puzzle way faster than I do, so I'm curious at your progress. Aye it will make mine a bit easier because I can use your video's as cheat video's! 🤣

Today is the first day in my LIFE that I am doing a puzzle (1000 pieces) besides the ones I did as a kid. I have a tiny apartment, but I am staying for a few days with my mom, and we decided to take it on together. I will follow this journey!
I'm not a puzzle lover, this was - for some weird reason - in my recommended videos. You are such an adorable nerd and so excited over this that I was hooked in five minutes! I now must watch the entire playlist to see it finished!!
I am so glad I found this video on the 24000 piece life puzzle. I started this in 2009 did the first section and tried to store it somewhere and almost ruined it and gave up on it. Then I watched the video of you taping the section together and it just lit a fire in me to finish this puzzle. Thank you for sharing your tips on puzzles.
If you can get it, you should try the 40,000+ piece Disney Memorable Moments puzzle!

While I haven't done any puzzles with separate bags, many of the larger Lego sets come that way. I have to say, It's very gratifying to combine all the sections into a whole set. That was one of the best parts of my life as a child.
I....I had no idea there was a puzzle community? This is wonderful! I bought a 1000 piece puzzle for Xmas completed it and already bought 3 more! I like to work on my puzzle while listening to audiobooks. I could never do a 24.000 piece puzzle! Lovely to see how passionate you are about it!
This is gonna be soo goood ! I'm all in for a 20 parts series 😅
Imagine having cats, dogs and/or kids while trying to do even a 1000 piece puzzle. I don't even want to think about having this puzzle in my house, now that will ruin my life (jk but it will drive me crazy, I just wanted to incorporate life in the sentence). 😁

I cannot wait to see your LIFE puzzle completed! Right now, I am working on the largest puzzle I've ever attempted: it's 6,000 pieces and called "Window Wonderland" by Bits & Pieces. I've been working on it since January 3rd this year and it's definitely a challenge, but I've estimated that I probably have only 1,000 pieces to go! I look forward to future updates from you on your great challenge! Much luck!
24,000?? 😳😳😳 epic! Our biggest puzzle that we made during quarantine was a 2,000 family of tigers

My mom and I did a 3000 piece Harry Potter puzzle. I started it when I was about 9 months pregnant and it took us about a month of casually working on it. I would spend my entire life working on this one! Hahaha.
I knew this would be huge but when you read out the measurements and it hit me how big it was that the short side is taller than me too! I'm excited to see how it goes
Karen: we will make 1000 pieces per video. video every day Me; I will make 1000 pieces per year
