I am in love with Liberty puzzles. The whimsical shapes are wonderful, but the wood smell is amazing. It becomes a total sensory experience.
Totally agree! Thanks for watching.
I love that puzzle never done wooden puzzzles
Such a beautiful puzzle - I love all the fantastical beasts whimsies too! I have zero experience with wooden puzzles, but I’d love to try one 😊 Thanks for this video, looking forward to the next 😃
Oh, you should definitely try a wooden puzzle at some point. You would love. The only problem is they’re more expensive and it’s very tempting to buy more and more.
We did the Dr Suess Liberty wooden puzzle, and it is by far the coolest puzzle we've seen so far!!
I *love* their Dr. Seuss designs. I hope to do one someday.
I am interested in doing wooden puzzles, but they all seem to be "less" than the 1,000 and 1,500 piece cardboard puzzles I am used to. Why is this? I want the quality and uniqueness of wood, but do not want to sacrifice # of pieces and I don't want to sacrifice overall finished size. So .... why are most wood puzzles so small, and where can I find ones that are just as big as the big cardboard ones?
Sorry, I'm just catching up to this comment! This is an interesting question/subject. You're right that many wooden puzzles tend to be in smaller piece count categories, but a number of wooden puzzle companies, including Liberty, Wentworth, and others have larger piece counts (if not 1000 pieces, then 600+). The cost to make and purchase wooden puzzles is also higher, so of course those puzzles tend to be in a higher price category as well. If you are an enthusiast of wooden puzzles, you might check out Hoefnagel Wooden Jigsaw Puzzle Club (www.woodenjigsawpuzzles.com). I'm not a member myself but know a number of happy members of the club. There is a membership fee, and then you pay for shipping for each "pack" of puzzles that you rent in the month. (I'm not an ambassador or spokesperson for the, it just came to mind based on your comment).
Not an expert, but having upgraded from cardboard to wood (mostly Liberty and Stave), the fine quality wood are much more challenging, with complicated connectors and cuts. Also, the edge of the puzzle is typically much more difficult than your standard cardboard puzzle. Meaning your 1500 cardboard puzzle is probably much easier than a 700/800 piece fine quality wood puzzle. Finally, since it’s not just printed on what is essentially thick paper, the wood itself and the precision it takes to make such unique connectors and cut them is done either by hand or with precision machinery. This means these puzzles can be quite expensive. Some Stave puzzles are over $5000😮.
Sorry, I'm a bit behind in my CZcams viewing! Such a great puzzle - really love the image and all the really unique and interesting whimsies. 😀 I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this brand!
Thanks for watching! Yeah, Liberty is definitely one to try!!
I am a Liberty puzzle huge fan. I am currently working MUSHROOMS …. Very challenging and if you have patience this is worth working. My next challenge will be OCTOPUS!
Wow! I’ve seen that mushrooms puzzle and it looks HARD! I’ve done the octopus, and it’s one of my favorites that I’ve ever done. Hope you enjoy it! I just ordered Beautiful Fishes of the Deep and can’t wait!
Ha Ha....which ONE. I love these puzzles and own ....too many ...#10. I trade them with friends. So I've gotten to do my 10 + 14 of Erin's + 9 of Kathys. I find them so soothing...and I too waited on the waiting list all through COVID. I buy a when I get birthday or Christmas money. I too love the feel and smell and how they fit together. When the world is so over whelming it feels so good to accomplish a Liberty puzzle.
I totally agree...putting together a Liberty Puzzle is so soothing.
This is the last video and I'll be all set to just get the new ones. Wood puzzles look tough! 😅 Really enjoy your builds!
That's way too many puzzle pieces for me.
Totally understand. Fortunately, there is a piece count for every puzzler. Liberty also has some smaller piece count puzzles, and they've recently launched a large-piece line that looks really great.
I do not have much experience with wooden puzzle, but I recently fell in love with a particular one noticed at Barnes & Nobles. I purchased it and I just finished putting it together. I would like to actually glue it, but I am not sure if it will do since the pieces are very thick. Has anyone done this? Any advise?
Liberty Puzzles can make you a custom frame with glass on both sides.
Sorry, I'm catching up to this comment *very* late, but I agree with Gray's comment above. I don't think Liberty recommends gluing their puzzles, but I ordered a custom frame for one favorite Liberty puzzle, Leopard, and it hangs proudly on my living room wall now. Looks great, and if you take the frame off the wall, you can view the back side/piece cut if you really want to.
Right before that, they had a system where you had to log on at a certain time and then basically speed type to get yourself a puzzle. I can type fast. I got cut off…
I think I got into their puzzles a little after that. At the time, you had to join a waitlist, and then you would get a window of time of about a day during which you could order up to 2 puzzles, something like that. It was efficient. Love their puzzles so much.
@@piecebypiecepuzzler yep, that was the next step. Plenty of puzzles for everyone now!
