Hey John,
Thank you so much for your videos! I am actually doing the same puzzle right now, also with all bags mixed. I am working on it mostly on my own and on an on-and-off basis since around 3 years. Since last week I only have greenery and blue sky left. I don't have much space, so everything is stored on 14 big cardboards with around halve a section on them each, which fit perfectly under the couch.
It is so fun seeing you go through the same process. I find interesting which categories you use for sorting, mine were quite similar. I also recognise the constant "cardboard logistics", haha.
I really like this puzzle and the picture is so fun to put together. My guess is that you will be done by 1st of June. I just found your videos and I look forward to see you progress even further. Happy puzzeling!
@cyberfox5159 Hi and thanks so much for watching. That's great!!! I was going to do mine that way also, that way I would be downstairs in the heat and air conditioning, but thought it would be easier to do where I could get to all of it, especially with multiple people working on it. And yes, it seems like we are always moving cardboards around. I thought we would have less as we went but it doesn't seem to work that way. This is a fun image to put together. I think you saved the hardest parts for last, the greens and sky. I'll put your guess in the book, and keep me updated on your progress. john
Awww. Somehow I missed this month's update and didn't get to wish you a fun bike trip. Glad to hear you had a good time!! 😊
Gonna be more comfortable puzzling in the fall, for sure.
@LadyMystie Hi again, yes, we had a great time. Yes, it is getting to be nice puzzling weather.
You are going to love wyoming. I live in wyoming and I will never leave. I hope you enjoy your time here
@pamelaholdsworth5866 Yes Wyoming is so beautiful. In Wyoming we rode Beartooth Pass, did the full loop in Yellowstone, saw old faithful, among other things, stayed overnight in Cody, then rode through Wind River Canyon. On a previous trip we saw Devils Tower and rode all through the Black Hills. So many things to see and such amazing scenery.
This looks great! I like the colours of the sky so much. Congratulation to part 9.
@palatina6626 Thank you so much, the sky looks nice when the pieces are in the right place but it can be a challenge getting them in the right place.
Have fun on your trip, be safe. Great progress on the puzzle. I bet a lot of people including myself would love to hear your plans for the finished puzzle? I woild love to do a bigger puzzle and hang it at the school I work at, and at my other job where I take care of people that had traumatic brain injury. The one place I worked at we all did puzzles and framed them to display around the place. I love helping people. I love your commentary you do and your videos. I look forward to them when they get posted. May we all find what we are looking for, one piece at a time.
@whypostit Hi and thanks for watching, When I'm done with the puzzle I plan to separate it in small enough sections to get it back in the box on stiff paper and not tape the back of the puzzle so that it can be taken apart and put together again or I can put the sections together again if I want to display it somewhere. Hanging puzzles where you work sounds like a fun idea. Thanks for helping people, the world needs more of that.
Yay, nice to see you again. I hope you are enjoying your trip.
Great update again. Summer usually is a bit slow going as other outdoor activities usually are more important. Especially when the weather is nice.
See you in fall.
@tinkerbellarocks Hi again, and thanks, the trip was a lot of fun, we went 4,836 miles (7782 km). It's nice to get away but always nice to get back home and back to the puzzle. See you next month.
Hi Jon! I like to watch your updates, great job! My guess is 8th of March 2024. The sign "Kármán utca" catches my eyes all the time which is in Budapest, our capital. Greetings from Hungary!
@melindakollar1439 Hi, thanks for watching. It's cool that sign is in Budapest. Greetings from Pennsylvania. I'll put your guess in the book.
What an amazing way to cap off your summer with a great trip. I expect yellow stone was busy as last minute vacations were snuck in before schools picked back up. Looking forward to the fall!
@erickennel9428 Hi, the first day we were there was on Thursday and there were cars and people everywhere, we thought that Friday and the weekend would be worse, but for some reason it was a lot less crowded and made it really nice for sightseeing. I am looking forward to fall too.
Great job. What a journey this is!
@nilsp9426 Hi and thanks for coming along on the journey.
Bonus tip: since there appears to only be 2 mountains, pulling those pieces & solving should be quick hits.
Great progress! The colours are so vibrant, I love this puzzle! Hoping you guys get cooler weather soon! Have fun on your trip :)
@IzzaPuzzles Hi again, thanks, Yes, I too love this puzzle and the bright colors. We had a great time on our trip.
I‘m loving your videos. Well done so far. It’s looking great 😊
@louisescheider7151 Hi again, thanks so much
Hey John. Just wanted to let you know that I’m going on a similar journey around the world. Just picked up my copy of the puzzle today and mixed all the bags together about 4 hours ago. I found your channel earlier this week and will be following your progress from now on as I try to complete my own 42K beast! Happy puzzle greetings from Belgium!
I would love to follow your journey too. Please make videos. Happy puzzeling!
@maartenstorms3262 Hi, That's great!!! please keep me updated on your progress and if you can make youtube videos, let me know your channel name. I'd love to hear your thought process on how you plan to do it. For me, good sorting really helped, and I started with the border and buildings. That made the most sense to me but that might not be the best way. Remember that some days you'll get a lot done and some days not so much, so don't get discouraged. Greetings from Pennsylvania.
Oui on veux des photos
Sorry for the late reply but i’ve been really concentrated working on the puzzle. I first went through the pile just sorting by shape because I didn’t want to sort by colors or textures. When that was done, I made the border first. Which went pretty fast. Except for the top border with all the sky. But using the repeating pattern (every 37 pieces) it was doable. So that’s 1194 pieces done! I’ve also put together the 84 ‘double’ pieces that hold together the 84 ‘half’ pieces. So I now have 42 clusters of 4 pieces. One for each repeating pattern (42 times 1000 pieces). What I’m doing now is putting all the remaining pieces on boards. Per shape, neatly arranged. I have about 4 more days to go, and then I’ll have about 50 boards (60x60cm) filled with pieces. It takes me about 30-40 minutes per board. And then I can begin. I’m not going to do any more sorting, I’ll just pick what I need from the boards and start. We’ll see how it goes… I can always change tactics if needed. I do not have a youtube channel but I will be posting my progress on Flickr. There’s a group called ‘the big jigsaw puzzle collection’. Check it out some time.
Hi John, glad to see you are getting on well now with it. The sky is looking good apart from those piece you already know are out of place.
@heather6668 Hi and thanks. The sky is really tricky, I'll probably be rearranging pieces for a long time.
Mom and dad, mom and dad 🎉🎉 I m cheering them on.
@wowzieee Hi again, Mom reads the comments so I'm sure she saw you cheering them on. They do a great job.
I dare not try to guess how many puzzle pieces have landed on the floor after being stuck to my forearm. Its fun to see another puzzler experience the same annoyance (at least your pieces fell back on the table😊) Your reaction brought a smile. Progress is great. Cannot wait for the next update.
@tinag4262 Hi again, I hate it when that happens!!!! Many pieces end up on the floor too. I'll be glad for cooler weather. See you next month.
Looks great. I need to get back to mine!
@pennyweiss1974 Hi again and thanks, Yes, go put your puzzle together!!!
Y’all all doing a great job way to go looking forward to the next update
@AmberRaymond Thanks so much, see you next month.
Congrats, you certainly give me goals for my retirement. Have a great trip.
@rosa733 thanks, the trip was a lot of fun. It's good to have a list of things that you want to do in retirement. Doing nothing sounds like fun until you have nothing to do, and then it's boring. As I found out, a big puzzle will pretty much eliminate any spare time you may have (but in a good way).
That Asian corner looks impressive, especially with that smooth sky. Keep up the good work.
@jlu3ai Hi thanks for watching, yes it does look good when we can get a big area done. Really makes us feel good too.
Hey! I could see alot of progress. This video did post on Sept 1st. Hope you have a safe trip and a great time. As always I enjoyed this update!!
@janspearman9310 Hi again and thanks, I'm glad it posted on the 1st. We went 4,836 miles and had a great time.
Huge improvement from last month. Enjoy your trip abd safe travels. ❤
@jeancarroccino8574 Hi, thanks, we went 4,836 miles and had a great time.
Very glad to hear it went well. Looking fwd to your update
@ 19:00, take the red striped section under the 2 green pieces on tbe right, flip it upside down, & it looks to fit with the top red stripe (looking at the orange bit above the red line)! 😊
@waynebennett745 thanks, I'll check it out
You're progress is looking good John! I thought about going up north and finding you, not to drag you back to the puzzle, but just to say hi! 😊 I'm glad you got out and I hope you had a great time on your trip! See you in October! 🧩🤗
@Addicted2Puzzles Hi Judy, thanks. That would have been great!!! I would love to meet you and hang out a little (and get some puzzling tips). The closest we probably were to you was just south of Denver at Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak. We had a great time and rode 4,836 miles. 724 puzzles!!!! (Addicted2Puzzles) name checks out. 😄 john
@puzzlemethis. I know where you were in Colorado! My hubby was there a few weeks ago with family. Puzzle talk over drinks, I consider that a great time! 🧩☺️ 4800+ miles! That's amazing and such an awesome getaway! I love it! And yes, I definitely live up to my name! 😅 Been collecting since I was a kid and got a little obsessed with buying the past few years. Eek... I need to puzzle more and shop less! Haha! Happy Puzzling, John!! 🥰🧩
Great job, I would so love to be helping out, your set up is great and you have made great progress. Hope your enjoying your break and travels, see you next month
@thegoodchicken1078 Hi and thanks, the trip was fun, we went 4,836 miles (7782 km). See you next month.
Looking great!!! Hope you're having fun on your travels. Just wanted to let you know I got my first video up of Dowdle's "Wonderful World" progress. You can find me under Crazy Puzzle Chick. Keep in mind I'm just learning this, so the first video is no talking. Maybe next month I can add audio. I'm determined this old chick can learn new tricks. Loving your progress videos! Oh, and this is candyk. Changed id when I started channel.
@cpc9471 Hi again, yes we had a good time. Congratulations!!! I just watched your video and left a comment. Great first video! You'll get the hang of it as you go. Just don't let the video/editing part get in the way of the puzzling fun. I'm looking forward to your updates. john
Good job!
Between the birds and the yellow plane on the puzzle (around 14:45), there are several pieces that the colors don't fit in with the puzzle. Just an FYI.
yeah, I agree , though I think on a puzzle of this scale, it's to be expected, he'll probably give it some closer scrutinizing, and correcting when it's done,
@@tony--james I expected this as well, but my comment was only to join in the fun (virtually), and save him some time scrutinizing!!🤪
yup, the more help , the better, hehe🤪 but all in all, he's doing amazing with it, considering he mixed all the bags up, @@bettyc.6280
@bettyc.6280 Hi and Yes you were right, I just went up to look and I found 2 pieces in that area that didn't look right so I switched them with pieces from the next section over. There was another piece that I thought could be wrong too but I couldn't find one in another section to switch it with, so I left it there. I can't believe that you could see that on the video. You and @tony--james must both have a trained puzzlers eye for subtle color differences, something I don't have yet.
Please keep fire extinguishers handy - if you have a fire around completion time after all that effort I think they would have to call the friendly men in white. You may not find straight jacket life in a rubber room appealing !
@johnmarshall9065 Hi again, before I'm done the puzzle I may be ready for a white coat that buttons up the back. I have thought of padding the attic walls.
Ah...the white "I Love Myself" jacket! 😂
@puzzlemethis Hello John. Thank you for sharing your journey. I’ve really enjoyed this series. I’m going to say Feb 15 2025 and hope that you are able to finish sooner.
@sarahsingleton9142 Hi, you're welcome and thanks for watching. I'll put your guess in the book. I hope we are done before that too, but we'll see.
Starting @ 14:36 when you talk about birds, there is a yellow sky piece by the bird's feet. Also, you have a solid piece between the feet & wings.
FYI, the section before & after this have incorrect colored sky pieces together.
@waynebennett745 Hi, thanks, yes there are a lot of sky pieces in the wrong spots. I probably can't connect them yet in the section that they should be in, but by having them there I know which row they will go in.
yay it worked!
@JuliaAlanoo Hi again, I'm glad the video showed up on the 1st.
Yes happy 1SEP23.
@jeancarroccino8574 Hi again, I'm glad it did post on the 1st.
Ayers = Ularu
While I don't know how y'all are puzzling, let me give these suggestions:
1 - If you know those sky pieces are wrong, TAKE THEM OUT so you won't accidentally forget they're there & spend more time trying to figure out where they are later on.
2 - Try having everybody focus on 1 thing to get it done. Since the sky is, mostly, blue...whoever is tackling that is doing a lot of work. Maybe divide it up like "Bob, you & Mary take the orange bits. Tom & Suzie - the purple. Everybody else do the blue." Since it's, basically, edge to edge, that is a big project. Also, it'll free up cardboards for other things. & it'll help you with the skyline for buildings/statues etc..
3 - Do the puzzle in sections (maybe 2-3 feet big). Don't move on until that's done. The more eyes in 1 area increase the time of solving it & quickly seeing mistakes others might make.
4 - You might want to check the cardboards on the table. I saw a water piece in with the solid blues. Also, some of that orange sky might go at that orange spot on the end by the window.
5 - Not to repeat what I said at the start, but sorting by color has probably made people check the same pieces multiple times & putting it back down because it wasn't the 1 they were needing. Maybe change it up & say "This week, we're only focusing on the color ____." Start off easy with colors you know aren't to take long: pink, purple, orange, neon colors, etc. Then work up to more common colors: white, blue, green, brown, etc.. or tackle patterns: clouds, flowers, grass, mountains.
So, to sum it up, I'm thinking you have multiple people each focusing on 1 small segment. Change it up & have everybody focusing on 1 area. Some could be pulling & sorting pieces while others put them together. Then flip jobs so the sorters now are the solvers. This gives fresh eyes on the task & people aren't bogged down. If you do only 1 color at a time, you may have a bunch of small sections, but they'll quickly combine to make the bigger picture.
Good luck!
@waynebennett745 we have tried some of that. We found that to many people working together on one thing was harder because we would look for a piece and it wouldn't be where we put it down. We do work on each others areas to see if fresh eyes help. We do however spend a lot of time looking through cardboards, but that should get better as we get fewer pieces.
Wow, it looks so great! I'm amazed by how much sky you've done already.
I'm a little unsure, but I think you should have another look at the russian bear at 18:00. It looks like some of the stomach might be another bear head turned upside down? Or maybe it just has some spots that confuse me.
@FluffyLlamacorn Thanks and thanks for watching, The sky is really tricky. I'll look closer at the Russian bear, you are probably right, the animals for me are the hardest part to put together.
That's 40 thousand more pieces than the one I am currently working on... and I think what I have is challenging and big. Are you going to frame it when you're done?
@RubyNeumann I have seen some hard 2000 piece puzzles that I would be afraid to try. I hope to break my puzzle down into sections that fit back in the box without taping the back of it so it could be put together again or put together by sections to display.
My guess would be the 10th of June 2023
@nicoullreich Hi, I will put your guess in the book.
Didnt see my name on there guessing January 20th 2025❤❤ looking good.
@jeancarroccino8574 Hi again and thanks, yes you were in the book in the middle of the first page. You guess was 6/15/2024, I'll change it to 1/20/2025. That is 6 months later, is it because Mom and Dad are slacking a bit, I'll tell them to step it up a little.🙂
Thank you so much. Safe travels.
