No edge puzzles the best.

I had a puzzle that was like that except they added 50 extra pieces

Never saw the appeal in this stuff.

Probably the most literal example of "hard work is it's own reward" I guess.

The edges ARE flat, but there are 4 other puzzles that connect to this one with a blue border in between them all. So on this one, there will be 2 flat edges so the others can connect. I am saving the blue part for last because it is 2 pieces thick of just solid color and I will die when I do it >_<

Oh well that makes the puzzle less interesting

actually probably more than that. Judging from the size of yours and the pieces, mine was probably closer to 10,000

you can do it!

Which 10,000 did you do? Not many actually exist, you know. The pieces look smaller in real life. I bet you did a 1500 >_>

Nice. Been thinking of starting a giant puzzle recently, know any good sites to purchase them?

it was a scene of a farm. It had a lot of greens and yellows. There was a house on the right and big tree on the left with a red tractor and a winding road going down the middle

it was years ago so yeah I don't really remember it, but it was a huge puzzle

Well that explains how you're only 25% done...

"First time I got punched in the face, I was like "oh no", then I was like "this is a story"."

Where does one get something like this?

and oh yeah I misread the topic title. I somehow though all 18,200 were in that one.

That explains it! So yeah probably closer to 5000 like I thought.

You're supposed to remember these things, SHINE! You aren't supposed to forget about something that took you over 50 hours to do!

I still have it in my basement I think. I could probably pull it out and count the dimensions or something.

I forgot we got rid of it last year when our basement flooded

Do it! I have a 2000 piece puzzle almost as big as this one and because the pieces are bigger. The pieces are so tiny and fill like 25% of a large tupperware bin thingy.

yeah I remember this one having really small pieces too. Smaller at least than any other puzzle I had done before

I just don't think any farm puzzles (that you describe) exist that are 5000 pieces!

--

Only thing I can think of now is asking my brother tomorrow about it because he was the one that initially bought it.

maybe he'll remember.

I had these puzzles as a kid. They were mother f***ing awesome.

So how do you display this? Do you slide something underneath it, and then lift each piece and put a drop of glue under it?

No, lol! You would probably cover both sides in a layer of puzzle glue, but leave it in like 16 big chunks.

Just finished a Lost puzzle today. 1000 Pieces, #2: The Others. One piece missing at this time, but should turn up eventually. It was interesting.


Also, had two of these as a kid and I miss them dearly:

Holy crap I shudder at the thought of doing a puzzle like this. So, so many hours, and all you end up with is... the picture you've been looking at on the box forever.

I've sunk my time into this sort of thing only once: This completely awesome geek trophy:



It was worth it. Hope you'll feel the same TC when you finish this in a year.
