We have similar methodology depending on the size/brand/image.
1. Sort out the edge pieces
2. Sort out piles of pieces by color or feature
3. Sort pieces by shape as you start new section/piles
4. I have several graduating sizes of boxes.
A. large tray made from the side of a flat screen TVs box. Very sturdy and perfect for initial sorting of 2000 piece puzzles
B. Smaller cardboard tray 3’x 2’ ish
C. Smaller white plastic sorting trays bought on Amazon for puzzlers
D. Wooden Trays that are part of the puzzle board bought from Amazon
5. Once completed, I put edges into ziplock bag and place it on top of the box of pieces (helps when donating puzzles to nursing homes) and tape it closed
6. I use the poster if included. I made a stand up display from foam board
7. Buy foam core project boards and tape it together to use for 2000 piece puzzles.
Thank you for this, #LadyH! I'm starting my first 1000 pc puzzle ever and can use all the tips I can get!
5000 piece puzzle how???
@@FortniteVince , do the same things and be more patient, as well as have both the time, as well as the space, to build them, I guess.
I use paper plates to sort by color/shape. That way they stack nicely 😊
Grace Thomas thank you ❤
Try buying a light that is true color spectrum. It helps bring the full true shades of colors out. I use the Ott brand. I am in my seventies, had cataract surgery and it helps using the lamp tremendously.
When you start a 3000 piece puzzle and can’t find the last 2 edge pieces so you sort all the other pieces twice 🤬🤬🤬
if that happens usually i just wait until i find them
I started a 1000 piece puzzle and i’m missing an edge piece and i’m going crazy
Just ignore them. Was missing like 20 edges in my 2000 pcs puzzle (yes, lousy search). I moved on classifying and eventually all the edges showed up
A tip i might add is the fact that most puzzles and their piece cuts will line up piece to piece, so that the end product will make horizontal and vertical lines in the cut. With that knowledge, sorting by piece shape is made easier. Now, looking at the pieces you've already got together, you can see the ins and outs of the piece shape that should go in that spot. Ins and outs can have a variety of locations including left, center, right and eveeything in between. When you look at a piece that you think might go in a spot, consider where its ins and outs are and whether or not they'd line up with the other piece.
First
I flip all pieces over and while doing that I claim the edges. Than I scan all my flipped over pieces and collect colors. Once I collect the colors I dump a color on the table and sort those by color tone within that color, if necessary!
Maybe an irrelevent question, but I have it anyway: what do you do with the jigsaws that were in the boxes you have cut down?
great start. keep doing more. you will become better each episode you do. Nice tips. Hope you give more tips.
Perhaps line the cardboard box with felt? It might help maintain stability and use color to accent puzzle color being placed into them.
Thanks a lot! I just started my first puzzle and was lost. This really helped.
Hello #PuzzleDude and thank you for this video. I especially like the use of 'trays' and this is why...I've never done any significant puzzle in my life and am the more 'artistic' type (organization is not my top trait/skill). I bought a beautiful image of 2 wolves in snowy mountains of Yellowstone (1000 piece puzzle) back in 1997 and was immediately overwhelmed when I looked into that box so, I sorted some of the colors out then, closed it right back up. Yesterday, I decided to give it another try and I think your suggestion of trays is going to give me a better chance of completing that puzzle (hopefully, before another 24 years go by)! I have SO MUCH to learn. Liked and Subscribed.
Great comment ❤ John 3,16 ❤
Super busy with the t rex puzzle
100-piece
@Rylan Decker yea, been watching on KaldroStream for years myself =)
Really happy to see that this video is doing great :D !!
Thanks a lot!! :)
I just ordered four puzzles.i can't wait to try them out with your method
I really like completing the wooden jigsaw puzzles. The quality is great! I found some great puzzles on Amazon and have not ever been disappointed. Puzzle on!
I like the background music. It’s so cheerful!
Sigh. You make it look too easy. And all the trays take up so much space.
I should never start with 1000 piece puzzles. I just find them very challenging.
Thanks for your video. I wish you lived next door.
Very helpful thank you for your time. That's how I separate my pieces. But the separate trays is quite helpful.
Great video!!! 🤘🏼
oh the step to sort by shape is super helpful
Me at 0:32 -1:00
If I was you I would start with the two characters in the center, the brown mountain and the gray and tan small mountains (cliffs).
Him at 3:57-4:20
Yeah, I’m gonna do the character, the mountain and a small cliffs!
Thanks for the video! When did you talk about what you did with the old puzzle pieces?
Thanks I like your style and will be using them.
5:35 You're really fast but part of me suspects you've just speeded up the video here and in other parts where you are sorting out the pieces.
Where's did you find that puzzle. Great puzzle
Very instructive !
Why did i toss my boxes?!!! Why?!?!??
thank u for these tips!
10:57 it is much faster to keep one piece in hand and try it out on all available places, instead of trying all the pieces on one location
This helped me sm,thanks
Cool
I "drop" puzzle pieces on the floor, and they somehow "fly" to the moon, lol. So, I am going to place a "thick fluffy" and "large" rug under my table and chair. I can not believe, but I know it for fact, how far and lost a puzzle piece can wander!
the legend of zelda ocarina of time , is really a legendary game🤩
Can you do this no time laps plz
Why do you use only one hand? Using both would be lot faster.
'Old puzzle boxes' ?? What became of the puzzles?
You'll see, wait for it!
Like a pro
Yeah I wanted something to help me with my black and white one but this aint it :(
I need some urgent support with a jigsaw puzzle, how can I send yo my information or contact you?
Contact me. I’m puzzle tournament winner 2017
Have a 2000 piece puzzle trying to figure it out
Cool channel
tthank you friend
Easy
But I bought a really hard puzzle it's too complicated.
Puzzle like a pro? Are there people who do puzzles for a living?
What to do when you finish a 1000 piece puzzle and one piece is missing in the middle! 😩😖
This is happened to me and it just makes me infuriated especially whenever it’s a puzzle I what to keep
@@lilac404 funny thing. 2 months later my wife found the piece in her reading chair. 😮 It must have fallen in her lap and she got up and went to the other side of the room. By then I had scanned the photo on the box and made a new piece. I framed the puzzle. I was so happy to replace with the original 😊
@@junkmail1262 Wow so glad you found the piece to your puzzle! How were you able to make another piece?
@@lilac404 it took some time. I took a photo of the puzzle box around the area that was missing. Then I made copies on the printer. Scaling up and down the printout until it was the right size. I cut out the puzzle piece from printout. I then cut out a piece of the cardboard puzzle box. It was close to the right thickness of the puzzle piece. Next I used an exacto blade to make it the right size. Lastly I glued the two pieces together. The hard part was getting the right colors to come out when I printed. I kept changing the brightness and color tone until it was close enough.
Go to the CZcams video on how to make your own missing puzzle piece(s). It easy and cool to learn.
This video reminds me of Joe Perra :D

Very helpful thank you for your time. That's how I separate my pieces. But the separate trays is quite helpful.😊🧩🧩
Maybe an irrelevent question, but I have it anyway: what do you do with the jigsaws that were in the boxes you have cut down?
Perhaps glue them and frame them, or just donate without the box.
