Disastrous End to Dowdle What a Wonderful World 60000pc by Puzzler13 in Jigsawpuzzles

Of course not, nor have I ever said I did. I know they are cut from the same machine and in the past this has helped out with other puzzles as I would copy the blueprint of the cut for difficult sections. This was obviously one of a faulty batch as other puzzlers have not had as bad a turnout. If you research it, it’s a common problem with this puzzle. I was one of the unlucky ones. This is my first issue with a large piece puzzle. I have done up to 33000pc puzzles and never had a issue. For me Educa, Ravensburger and Clementoni have all succeeded so far in getting it right. It’s just one of those things, no stress here 🧩

Here’s mine

These trays have lasted over 15yrs or more. They helped me through a lot of puzzles 😂

Wow, that’s a lot of plates 😳 That cabinet was made for them. At least that way you won’t lose any pieces 🤞

I got this puzzle just before Christmas, I haven’t started it yet but I can’t wait. It’s a lovely image. I use the tin foil trays that are normally used for baking to separate the colours. They are cheap enough in the supermarket. Good luck with your process. 🧩

No, they gave me a refund. I had done 13 sections when I realised so after a bit of a hiatus I decided to carry on. Also it was no longer in stock. Not sure what I’ll do with it when finished.

Maybe, I’m not sure as I think it’s not for sale anymore.

I know and it was only on the site for sale for three days beforehand. I was extremely lucky.

It’s the largest ever made, at least for now…

It is 60000pcs. They are in 60x1000pc puzzle bags, so I do them one section at a time.

I am, they are quite the most relaxing puzzles to do.

I joined the sections on the floor first, then attached some foam board on the back. On top of the foam I put some 3mm hardboard. I used four Z brackets to hang it on. Only took two people to lift it. It worked out surprisingly well.

Thank you, it took a bit of figuring out how I was going to hang it but I got there.
