This video got recommended to me, I'm not terribly interested in puzzles, it's been years since I've done one, but there is something interesting and enjoyable about watching and listening to someone going over something they're passionate about. It's wonderful that there's niche and close communities about stuff like this, keep on doing your thing
@davidlindquist1499 Hi and thanks for taking the time to watch. The puzzling community on CZcams is so supportive of each other. I'm convinced that if you're interested in something, a group of enthusiasts can be found on youtube.
Thanks, John, for giving us a small overview about other puzzlers that tackle 40K+ puzzles mixed together. You have to be a little bit crazy to do so - and I like this! 🙂
I am also one of the (many) nerds that are interested in hearing about repeat cut patterns, so don't even worry about the technical part being boring!
Although I am on the other side of the puzzling spectrum (i.e., I am speed solving smaller puzzles, having just returned from the World Jigsaw Puzzle Championship), I really love your content and also love your approach to puzzling!
@LogicMasterSteve I watched the world jigsaw puzzle championships online and I didn't see you on there. I'm not as into speed puzzling (as you can tell by how slow I puzzle), but I have seen some of your videos and enjoyed them. I'll have to re-watch some of the championship so I can see you on there. I hope you had fun and had a good finish.
Hi John! I'm Rafael. Thank you for showing us your puzzle and your tips about the patterns on the pieces . We have been working with my son on the 42000 puzzle since February of this year. We are finishing bag #6! We don't mix them. We hope to finish by the end of the year and put it on the wall. Greetings from Argentina. 🇦🇷
@rafaelaviani2694 Hi Rafael, Thanks for watching. That sounds like a fun family project. Starting in February and on bag 6 already, you all are making great progress. You must have a long wall because this is a long puzzle. Keep me updated and let me know if you get it done by the end of the year. Greetings from Pennsylvania.
Bag #7 open 😉
Hey John, thanks for the shout out on your channel. I’m going to try to post my progress on Flickr in the beginning of each month as you do on youtube. I’ll try to post tomorrow, as it’s already October 3rd by then. That’s only going to be a 2 week progress this first time because I started puzzling 2 weeks ago this coming Wednesday. So I’m not familiar with the repeating patterns yet but seeing your video prompted me to go check my border that’s already finished and I can confirm your suspicions! The 3 first sections are rotated 180 degrees from the last 4. Oh and as for my name. Maarten sounds almost like Martin in english. So you can just call me Martin (always loved the Lethal Weapon movies so that’s cool 😋). Great progress by the way… I’m a long way from where you are but there’s no rush 👍🏻😊
By the way, you also Mentioned Penny. I actually got to know her on Flickr almost 10 years ago and she is a big part of the reason I decided to do this puzzle with all bags mixed. She’s great! Looking forward to her next progress update on Flickr as well as on her CZcams channel…
@@Maarten_Stormshee hee. Thanks my friend!
@Maarten_Storms Hi Maarten, I can see how that would sound similar to Martin in english, and you are welcome for the shoutout. It will be interesting to see your updates. Thanks for checking on the border pattern for us, that will help me and hopefully other people doing this puzzle. I watched a mixing video 3 years ago by Puzzle Momma and didn't realize until just now when I clicked on her name that they are the same person. That video is what gave me the idea to mix the puzzle in clear tubs so everyone could see all the pieces.
@@puzzlemethis.Aww thank you so much, John. How sweet of you. I will be back to making some new content soon. I had put it away for 3 years in order to do other things and set up a more proper space for doing the puzzle as well.
@pennyweiss1974 I am looking forward to seeing the updates, john
Thanks for the shoutout about my 60K puzzle attempt. I do have another video out and it has voice and video of me (eek)! As you said, I'm in learning mode for videos, so patience is appreciated. Great shirt, btw. Loving the progress, and am jealous that you have help with your puzzle, heehee.
@crazypuzzlechick Hi and your welcome, and I am still learning too. Microsoft changed the video editor program and that messed me up this month, so I had to re-learn that. I'll check out your new video. And yes, having people help is a big advantage for me.
Wow amazing progress! Looking good!
@inge6280 Hi again and thanks.
Happy to hear my comment about the bear from last month helped! It wouldn't surprise me at all if some of the pieces there are from a different bear somewhere else on the puzzle. Impressed by your methodical process with the sky pieces! It's absolutely the thing you need to do with so many false fits, but I feel like I would want to wait until there weren't that many fun parts left.
@FluffyLlamacorn Hi, yes, I saw what you meant and thought I could move the pieces around and make them fit but then I couldn't get them together again. Dad was looking to see if it could be another bear, I'll have to ask him what he found out. The sky is tricky, sometime I need to just focus on switching those pieces around. I am trying to do the darker sky more carefully and it looks better than the light blue part in the middle of the puzzle.
I think your strategy is great! That puzzle is really coming along. 🎉
@LadyMystie Hi again and thanks, the puzzle is slowly getting filed in. There is a lot of empty space left though.
Love your shirt! Great progress on the puzzle! I did the Life puzzle 1 bag at a time and have it taped in sections. The patterns did repeat, but my mind is blown with your "technical parts"😀. Sounds like a great bike trip. I live in South Carolina, never been north of Tennessee or west of Florida panhandle.
@janspearman9310 Hi again and thanks, I thought maybe those 4 bags might have been the life puzzle pattern, thanks for checking. Mom said to put the technical part a the end because it is probably only interesting to me or someone who has done big puzzles or is working on one. Hopefully I didn't ramble on too much about it. I do find that nerdy stuff interesting. I have ridden in South Carolina many times, it is a beautiful state.
@janspearman9310 Our country is too beautiful not to see more of it. I really encourage you to try out some of the National Park System. You know, we invented those! I can recommend: driving through North Dakota and Montana (catch a sunset over the plains), driving to and through the Colorado and/or Wyoming Rockies, the Grand Tetons, Yellowstone (yes, crowds), Yosemite (yes, crowds), Glacier National Park (yes, crowds), seeing the Redwoods and Sequoias, Key West (just one time), Maine (Acadia national park has the first sunlight to fall on US territory), Maui (expensive, but the vibe there is unlike anywhere else), an Alaskan cruise (glaciers are something you can't take your eyes off of!), the rainforests in Oregon, Dinosaur national park (you can see fossils still half-excavated right in the cliffside), the Shenandoah valley in Virginia, Washington DC (again, a great vibe), Lakeshore Drive in Chicago, Iowa (corn) or Kansas (sunflowers) in the summer, Vermont in the Fall to see the leaves, San Francisco's wharf and nearby Monterey Bay, and lastly for this list (but not last of all the beauties in our fair land) is a drive on the Pacific Coast Highway (I prefer the Oregon Coast, but you can do the whole west coast from CA to WA). Here's wishing you beautiful places and memorable travels.
Awesome. I love the aurora borealis! Thank you for the long version update.
@palatina6626 Hi and thanks, The gradient sky colors look good when I can get them in their right place. I tried to edit the video down a little, I hope it all made sense. I'm afraid that if it is too long people will get bored.
@@puzzlemethis. I really like long videos and dive deep into the though prozess why someone makes something exactly the way he does.
Hi John :) I follow your journey since the beginning and I quite often listen to you while puzzling by myself. I'm not good at words and I don't even talk in my videos (just sharing time-lapses), but I have finally decided to add a comment to thank you for your valuable contribution to the puzzle community :) It's always a pleasure to watch your new video and I'm sure that one day I'll complete this puzzle by myself - actually I have already bought them, but a lack of space holds me back, so eventually maybe I'll just do them bag by bag and temporarily put everything together in a garage :)
But for now - at the end of the summer I finally finished Educa 12000 Wonders of the World (it was the first time I mixed all pieces) which were also designed by Adrian (couldn't find his face on them though :P), share some common graphics and have the same cut pattern as 42000. Both sides have the same cut repeated 6 times and are flipped 180 degree against each other. I imagined that larger elementations would have all adjacent bags flipped gainst each other in a way that all even and all odd parts are in the same orientation, so it was quite surprising to learn about your findings :o There is also a 18000 Sistine Chapel and 24000 Life in my queue so it will be interesting to find out how Educa managed the order there...
Anyway, thanks again for another nice video and please add my vote for the finish date - May the 4th 2024 - but I'll keep my fingers crossed for an earlier date, good luck! :)

@JustOneMorePiece Hi and thanks for watching. I just watched your 12,000 Wonders of the World video and you did a great job on it. The CZcams puzzling community is such a welcoming and supportive group of people. I don't really like talking in front of people, but it feels like talking to a group of friends so that helps me get through it. It is interesting that one bag is flipped 180 degrees on the 12,000 piece puzzle. With all those big puzzles on your to-do list you may have to do some of them by bags just to have time to do them all. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment, it is always interesting to find out what puzzles people are working on. I will put your completion date guess in the book, john
@@puzzlemethis. Thank you John :) And the to-do list is really big and it's still growing - I buy too much puzzles and I just can't keep up with putting them together :P Each time I say to myself "alright, that's enough for this month", my husband shows me or buys me (doesn't matter, both ways leads to the same result :P) another beautiful puzzle :) And you are right - the latest one that I've just finished (new 9000 from Ravensburger - "Kingdom Underwater") was done bag by bag not only because of the time, but I also didn't want to do another big puzzle on the floor. We puzzlers, we must take care of our backs :) Gosia
As a fellow traveler, I wanted to say I liked hearing about your road trip. Also fascinating to watch your progress with the puzzle. My youngest daughter and I have been considering a giant puzzle for a while now and I'm not sure whether seeing just how big these are is encouraging or not! I'll be following your progress with interest. Thanks for sharing.
@BrettCoryell Hi and thanks for watching. My wife and I have ridden motorcycle to 49 states (all but Hawaii) and there are still so many things that we haven't seen. Doing a giant puzzle is worth it just to see the look on peoples faces when you tell them how many pieces your puzzle has. It is also a great excuse to get family and friends together. Working on a big puzzle together is something you and your daughter will always remember.
This is a great channel! I love that this is a family project and you take the time share your thoughts on your strategy. Keep up the good work!
@BethJedrzejewski-ue9gs Hi, thanks so much and thanks for watching.
So happy that you are home safe and had a wonderful time... and oh yea!! Love the shirt and I agree kids music today sucks lol lol.. Wow!!! what dedication you and the others have for doing such large piece counts .. and what a work out for the brain....how technical figuring it all out... you must be a very patient man.... I am glad for you tube to bring people with like hobbies together!!! I hope you find lots of pieces before we see you again.... The weather is cooling so hopefully you will get plenty of puzzle time in... see you in the next one and yes Im going to go put my puzzle together ... its only 750 pieces ,, just a baby puzzle for you.... ... enjoy!!!
@kathylynn1375 Hi again and thanks. I do like the technical nerdy stuff, hopefully I didn't bore everyone with it for 12 minutes. I am pretty patient, Dad calls it "lazy". I'm always amazed at all the puzzle people that post and watch puzzle videos on CZcams, it is really a great community.
I've just found your channel today and subscribed. I've gone and watched all of your past videos and I'm SUPER impressed with how much you've gotten done! It's looking fantastic!
@Rebecca.G Hi, and thanks for watching. I can't believe you sat and watched all the videos, how many times did you doze off?
@@puzzlemethis. I actually found it very interesting the whole way through! You even inspired me to start my 3,000 piece puzzle that's been intimidating me for going on 2 years now. It's by Ravensburger called Rice Terraces. I don't know what I was thinking when I bought it haha
We think you're going to push to complete this puzzle before the holidays next year. So put us down for a 11/18/24 prediction for completion. Always look forward to your monthly videos. They''re so much fun.
@walkmoreworryless4981 Hi and thanks, I'll put your prediction in the book, john
Hi, very nice and good video, and i liked the technical part of changing the sequences between different bags. Good job!
@aukebrandsma4585 Hi and thanks, I find the technical stuff interesting too, hopefully I didn't bore too many people.
Love the shirt many great bands represented
@thegoodchicken1078 Thanks, yes, so much good music from those bands.
I was going to say
LOVE THE SHIRT❤❤
@jeancarroccino8574 Hi again and thanks so much.
Wonderful progress, the sky must be a bear. By chance did you watch any of the 2023 speed puzzling world championships last weekend. There is 20+ hrs of coverage on CZcams where you can see Karen Puzzles, Sara does puzzles and many more of your CZcams/social influencers counterparts.
@erickennel9428 Hi and thanks. Yes the sky is quite a challenge. Yes, I did watch the speed puzzling championships, I recognized Karen, Vicky, DonnaLouise and Janette. Alejandro is fast but Kristen almost beat him this year. It is a lot of fun to watch.
I forgot to post my guess last time. I’m guessing you’ll finish the puzzle June 29 2024. Love getting the updates each month.
@puggy980 Hi and thanks for watching and I'll put your guess in the book.
Can i still bet on the finish? Maybe it's impossible but I say 21 february 2024, the day my first baby is due!! This is my dream puzzle but I don't have the space to do it. I say all your previous video when I find you. I'm not from your generation but I grew up with the same bands because my father loved them
I'm sorry for my grammar. I'm italian ^_^
@amayuccya Hi, thanks for watching and congratulations, yes, I will put your guess in the book. It' amazing how many younger people do listen to the old rock bands.
Hi John. Quick question. What are u using to film your videos? Is it your smartphone held by a tripod of some sort. Do u use more than one camera or just the one? What do you use for editing the video?
@pennyweiss1974 Hi, I use a 2 year old Motorola edge phone held by a cheap walmart tripod, ( I think it goes maybe 4 feet high) it is a bit shaky sometimes, I should have spent $20 more and got one that was more solid. I just use one phone and transfer the video files to the computer. I try to do my videos in three parts: part one is me in front of the phone using the front facing camera so I can see myself. Part two is me carrying the phone around showing the cardboards using the back camera so I can see what the camera sees, and part three is me showing what is on the table, again with the back camera. Sometimes there are more parts but usually just those three. I did use microsoft video editor that comes with windows but just last month they changed the name of it to Clipchamp. Its the same thing but with the buttons all moved around (mirosoft apparently gets a kick out of doing that). It lets me join all my three (or more) clips together and crop or edit them . It is good for free basic editing and does what I need as my vides are pretty basic. Hopefully that helps, let me know if I left something out that you wanted to know, john
@@puzzlemethis.Tnis was super helpful, John. Thank you! I am looking at smartphone tripods now so I can use it to make better videos.
my guess is 2nd december 2024 😀
@paulaburtenshaw197 Hi, I'll put your guess in the book.
👍👍🧩🧩
@bernardgeldof5365 Hi and thanks.
M'y prediction 27/04/2024 for my 45th birthday.
@tombouchon6950 Hi, thanks for watching and I'll put you in the book
John so glad you had a great road trip. It must have been so awesome! Enjoy seeing your updates. ❤️🧩
@susannelson5441 Hi, yes, it was a fun trip, I got to see a lot of things out west that I hadn't seen before. Thanks so much for watching.
