I’ve only putted one puzzle together in my lifetime and it was Ravensburger Pinzgau : Dientener Tal Austria which i found in my basement. Someone gifted it to me years ago. I didn’t know any techniques so for the sky and later on for the really dark tree areas I used same technique sorting the pieces by shape. I came up with this strategy out of desperation. Didn’t know it was a thing people actually used. By the end it was so agonising that I decided this was my first and last puzzle i will ever put together. To top it off there was one missing piece and one piece doubling. Anyway I framed it with the missing piece as that was my luck :) kudos for your dedication. And yes, once finished those puzzles look amazing.
Yes, a lot of people say that I have a lot of patience. I just love doing puzzle because it makes me feel relaxed and it is like I am in a whole different world. For a moment, I forget all my worries and obligations. :D
I made a 2000 puzzle in 2 days ( 18 hours ). I really like puzzles. I have made many puzzle. Due to the fact that I don't have enough space, I have all the pieces in the box. So all the time I have to turn the pieces to find the correct. However I think is more hard the strategy that I follow but I think is more challenging.
Omg, well done! I had received this puzzle as a gift but I had it changed with another 2000-pcs puzzle, "The Billy boys" by Jack Vettriano, because I didn't want to become insane. That's real dedication, kudos!
Thanks! :D I said a couple of times that this is the hardest puzzle I have ever done. Not the biggest, but the hardest. Harder than 5000 pieces "Leben im Koralenriff" which is the biggest one I have done so far. With this said, I can completely understand why you changed it for "The Billy Boys" one, which I never saw before. It looks really interesting to put together so I hope you had much fun doing it. :)
@@thepuzzleman thanks! I did already 70% of it, thanks to the quarantine here in Italy. Now there is the last part left, the sky, terribly difficult because it's entirely made of just one solid colour. Stay safe and enjoy all your puzzles. 😘
When you have them sorted like at the 1 minute mark, how have you sorted them in those lines ? I am trying to get to this level but not sure how to organise them like that to help the process. Thanks
Well...it is just a lot of experience. :) You don't have to sort them in lines. It is important that they are sorted by the shape. I sort them by shape and then each shape I sort so that each piece is facing same direction, that is why they look so well organized and it helps a lot for solving areas like sky. :D Just practise a lot and I am sure you will be able to organize them even better! ;)
Thanks! It looks really difficult because it is. 😂 This is the hardest puzzle I have ever done and I have done a 5000 pieces one, so you can trust me when I say this is really hard one. 🙂 I didn't use boxes back then, but now I use plates or boxes to sort the pieces. It is much easier to solve it. You said you became addicted to puzzles...the only thing I can say to you is keep doing puzzles! 😉
I have done a 6000 piece puzzle but I would not choose to do this one. Not even if it was only 1000 pieces. I nearly got impatient just from watching this time lapse. 😆
Frage 1: Wie behält man den Überblick, wenn man alle Teile auf ein Mal auf dem Tisch ausbreitet, auf dem der Platz so dann auch nicht mehr richtig zum Puzzlen reicht? Frage 2: Wieso fängt man dann auch noch mit dem aller schwierigsten Teil des Puzzles, dem blauen Himmel, an?
Your first 2000 and you choose one of the hardes. Its almost all blue. I had not much fun doing this puzzle but it looks very nice once its finished. Im doing a 12000 piece Puzzle (New York) right now and the sky is sooo hard... but it will look amazing once its finished.
+SPLFISH I know that this puzzle is pretty hard, but i have done 3000(before I start to putting videos on youtube) and a few of 2000 pieces and this was the hardest yet. But you are so right, they look amazing once they are finished. Thank you for watching!
Let's say that this is my last option to solve parts of puzzle like sky or water. I think this is the slowest method because you have to try every piece that could fit by the shape, but it works perfectly when you solving sky without clouds. :) I tried this mothod long ago, but I never sort them by the shape. Once I saw other people sorting them by shape, I decided to try it and it really works! :D
Yes, it really works. I finished the Lion of Ravensburger yesterday and I used this strategy for the dark parts of his fuer! It is such a beautiful image. Checked out the Onlineshop of Schmidt today... Holy s**t, I need almost everything they sell. So many beautiful motives! I like interesting colors and fantasy-images. They are amazing!
Some of the puzzles are indeed 50x40 pieces, but this one has 1981 pieces. It depends on the aspect ratio of the picture, so not all 2000 or 3000 or any number of pieces puzzles are the same. :)
Actually no. In some cases number written on the box is rounded so it looks better on the box. You can imagine how it would look if 1981 was written. If there were exactly 2000 pieces, there would be 40 rows and 50 columns, but then ratio would be 40:50 which divided is 1:1.25. This ratio would give more square looking shape of puzzle, which is not so good for picture like this one. So they went with more rectangle shape, which is good, but then you can`t get exactly 2000 pieces. The first combination of columns (which are important in this story because we want puzzle to be wider) and rows that would give exactly 2000 pieces is 80 columns and 25 rows. This combination gives ratio of 25:80, which divided is 1:3.2 which is too wide, it would be like panorama puzzle. This is why they write 2000 on the box (to look nice) and in reality there are 1981 pieces because of the good ratio. This is my theory about the difference in real number of pieces and number written on the box. :) It doesn`t have to be correct, maybe there are some other reasons why they make it like this, but as much as I know math, this should be it. :D Thank you so much for asking because you gave me the opportunity to explain and I think more people would understand it better now! :)
@@thepuzzleman I have to thank you for answering with such a detailed text. I think you are completely right, there can't be any other reason for that I think. Btw, I love your content, watching your videos is very motivating to me. I make puzzles as well, but mostly 1000 pieces. I did one 2000 of the world map too. I have one more answer: when you clean up the puzzles don't you get sad, because you spent hours on it and you just destroy your whole effort? I always glue them and hang them on my wall:)
Well, I think when I break them apart, it is a new challenge to put them together again whenever I want. So I am not sad about it. :) I love doing puzzles, so it is not problem to put some puzzle together again. :D
@@thepuzzleman I don't take many puzzles apart anymore -- only if I really don't want them. Then I donate them to a thrift store. But when I do take them apart, I usually put the border pieces in a separate bag for the next person. If they don't want them separated, they can always mix them back into the puzzle.

Incredible! I struggle doing a thousand piece. This shows how much patience you have! It's over the top.

I totally agree. I don't think about anything while I am doing that. Very effective if you're suffering from anxiety or panic attacks! 👍👍👍
That's a hard puzzle so much Blue but I love jigsaw puzzles.

I became addicted to puzzles !! Congratz it looks really difficult. Can I ask you why you don't use boxes to classify the pieces ?

@@thepuzzleman Sure, thank you :D
wow so well organized
Thank you! This let`s say system of organizing pieces helps me a lot when doing puzzles with almost same colors. :D
@@thepuzzleman how does this system work?

This was very enjoyable to watch. I subbed ☺
Are you sure that 1981 wasn’t a mistake because I’ve counted a ravens burger, 2000 piece puzzle and its 50 pieces by 40 pieces
Some of the puzzles are indeed 50x40 pieces, but this one has 1981 pieces. It depends on the aspect ratio of the picture, so not all 2000 or 3000 or any number of pieces puzzles are the same. :)
Why is there a real number of pieces? Isn't the number exactly 2000?

Nice
This was something to do before supper.
Thanks for this video
+Denielle Llewellyn Thank you for watching! :)
1:51 spider top left corner of table D:
Or a fly...not sure though.🤷♂️🤣
Any new videos coming soon?
I am editing one right now, so in a few days it will be on channel. :)
bravo !!!
Wow
Why take it down after all that work
So I can do it again whenever I want! 😃
The Puzzleman when I get done with puzzles I want to frame them and not put them together again
So it took you 28 hours?
Approximately, yes. :D For a 2000 pieces puzzle, it is pretty long time, but this puzzle is really difficult because of colors. :)
