For me the fun of a puzzle isn't in the length of time spent but in the enjoyment of spending that time

I'm back to watch the puzzle math again! I hope you keep bringing it back. It's soooooo cool!

I will definitely be looking out for other videos that you may make in the future. I enjoyed watching you. Thank you

Back again to watch as I do my first Zen Chalet puzzle! It was fun puzzling along with you!

@@puzzlephile I did "Mandala Heart." The puzzle was really beautiful. It turns out though that I'm not really into wooden puzzles (I'm just a cardboard, grid-cut gal... what can I say?). But if I'm ever hankering to do a wooden puzzle again, I'll definitely check out Zen Chalet. Good stuff!

Good to know - sounds like you made a great purchase! You’re right that not everyone is interested in buying a $50 puzzle - I definitely need to feature some of these budget options too!

These puzzles look like so much fun. I love the bright colors. I haven't done a wooden puzzle yet but they are on my wish list.

I really appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into a wooden puzzle and these were wonderful examples. The only reason I don’t do wooden puzzles is because they don’t lock together well enough for me.

The thicker the wood, the better they lock together. But definitely a totally different feeling from how cardboard pieces interlock

The kerf is the amount of wood removed in the process of cutting the pieces. Laser puzzles have a large kerf. Hand cut puzzles do not. Depending on the amount of color line cutting, and whimsies, you can pick up a complex hand cut puzzle by one corner.

The octopus puzzle is gorgeous! I'm super intrigued with the mystery game puzzle and will look forward to you completing it and telling about the game. Happy puzzling! 🌻🍄

Thank you for your dedication ! I'm not particularly interested in puzzles but I want to purchase one for my beloved aunt. I ended up being in the mailing list of unidragon but your video showed me more. Now it's time to choose !!

You made me giggle every time you flashed to the foreshadowing clip. At least it wasn’t one you were working on! I loved the jellyfish, that one was so pretty. Definitely my favorite of the ones you showcased in this video. Can you show us the sea turtle one after you finish it? That one is really nice, too, and I am a huge fan of sea turtles.

Great video 😁. I haven’t tried any of these brands, but my favorite wooden puzzle brand is Wentworth, and I also really like Active Puzzles. Active Puzzles come in wooden boxes much like the Unidragon puzzles, but theirs are held together with some nice elastic bands in the sides, so the lid doesn't fall off 😊.

Really enjoy your videos. There aren't many puzzle videos I feel I can just sit down and relax while watching. Never have done a wooden puzzle, but feel I need to try one now. Although I have to pace myself buying new puzzles, lol. This is the danger of watching puzzle KZread videos 😂

This was super fun to watch! Thank you for making this! I only knew of Unidragon and Liberty but not the other 2. Would love to try Zen Chalet. The timing of this video couldn't be better. My husband had just surprised me the other day with a "puzzle quest" collaboration series from Unidragon and IC4 Design called "Quezzle". I had never heard of this concept but it was almost exactly what you described with Quatro City. You build 4 quadrants of a city and then solve the mysteries (adds up to 1000pcs). Now i want to try Quatro City!

I haven’t done a Wentworth yet - I hear they’re great, definitely one I’m interested in trying

Just to double check, do all of these puzzles have interlocking pieces? Or would they not stay together if you weren't doing it on felt?

@puzzlephile

7 ай бұрын

Good question! Quatro City has a bit of a looser fit and a few spots that don’t quite interlock until you have all the pieces in place, but not so much that you’re chasing pieces around the table. The others are fully interlocking, no felt needed 👍

How to glue a wooden puzzle Do you have to put parchment paper under the puzzle before you glue it?

These are all so cute! But imagine putting your car key and house key on that keychain and sticking an enormous pointy fish in your pocket. Maybe it would be good for a restaurant’s bathroom key 😂

Well howdy.your video just came up. Yes wooden puzzles are fun.you picked good ones. Always fun

Great video, I’m really enjoying your new channel! I found the grizzly bear puzzle especially appealing, and I realized that same image is on a puzzle I already have- Southwestern Animals by Ravensburger! It is the same artist and it includes a few of her other drawings as well.

You asked me to let you know when I got the two wooden puzzles from Temu .... I recieved today the Chameleon Wooden Puzzle 11.2 x 15.2 inches $9.19 with over 50 whimsy pieces .came in a nice cardboard box in a cloth bag..no poster. I cannot find where it states how many pieces. and the Owl Wooden Puzzle Decompressing large size A4 $6.39 it is in the same packaging as the ones I got from Craft Hub...a plastic snap box with a poster. ( same manufacturer??) The pieces appear to be as thick as the ones you reviewed.... I would really like to see a comparison review of the $50.00 ones and the ones I purchased. I have not put them together yet but I am pleased with the quality, the color, and it looks like sooooo much fun... not all of us want to or can spend $50.00 on one puzzle.... have fun.... on to the next one......

just realized they have wooden puzzles on Temu also... I just ordered two.... less than $20.00 for both....could be a nice comparison review...I personally would like to know if the $50.00 are that much better and worth the price...I do like the fun pieces in a wooden puzzle
