The Absolutely Pointless Thread

Few thousand piece ones I was gifted at Christmas that I have to begin work on. Thing with those ones is you just need a lot of space to spread out the pieces. 500 piece ones allows you that space. As you want to see every piece. You do learn a few tricks as you go along. So you get quicker with each one you do. If you have time look up the Krypt jigsaw. Not one I will be doing. But one of the hardest ones ever made. Take one look at it and you will see what I mean. Now that is for those who have loads of time and are total experts.

Just finished the latest jigsaw. These types are the easiest ones to do. Simply follow the patterns.

how many do you have and what do you do with them when you’re finished

[Cuchculan]

Have a fair few here. Once done I give them to a charity shop. Have a few thousand piece ones I am yet to do. More because of space. Finding somewhere to put the pieces and still be able to see them, when not in use. Hard to explain what so many look like before you put them together. You need space for them. I tend to order them by way of patterns on day 1 and get the outside done. Then I make the patterns and add them in place. The more you do the more you learn and the faster you get.

Dear British Rail,

Taking a plane home via Dublin should not be cheaper than taking the train a few hours. Seriously, how is 10x cheaper for me to fly to another country and back just to visit my parents? What a joke.

Looks like I'm going to Dublin.

Party in Dublin

oh yeah way too easy, why even bother if it doesn’t take you at least a few months LOL

[Cuchculan]

LOL I will explain. The patterns in this jigsaw just made finding the pieces so easy. Harder one on the way. Have one of cakes. That will be a head wrecker.

IDK how cakes can be hard, make sure to show us when you get it

do you have a favorite brand or artist of puzzles? is there even a such a thing

[Cuchculan]

There are different makes. Better ones have thicker pieces. Cheaper ones can crumble as you put other pieces in place. Very thin pieces. The cakes one is like 8 cakes that all look like doughnuts. Will be a challenge. Have a kitten one as well. Three kittens that look identical. Few other things in the image. But those kittens are going to be hard.

They’re all beautiful Cuchculan.

Thank you Jamie. What I did not know was that the latest jigsaw is circular. Not the normal sort of shape. Have no idea if it will fit on my thing for making jigsaws. Still a few edge pieces to find. Already it is huge. Just imagine a huge circle.

Anybody want to play Jumanji with me? My nephew gave me this for Christmas. Is a 2 - 4 player game. So no use to me. Think he found the rules too hard to understand. I have learned them all. Loads of them it has to be said. So I might teach him the rules and give him the game back. LOL Had to set it all up and test my learning of the rules. But one very confusing game. Can see how he found it too hard.
