BETAQDAVE Posted July 30, 2020 Share #4 Posted July 30, 2020 How many sorting boxes will you need for that many pieces? The admiral and I did one with just 1999 pieces (one was missing) and we needed 12 shirt size boxes and about a week to put it together. Hope you have long arms and can stand up, as the middle will be a long reach. However, that subject matter should at least hold your interest to completion. It's also good that it's a excellent quality thick puzzle that fits together well. I think that someone posted, some time ago, a nautical puzzle project on our site with around 9000 pieces if I remember correctly.

BobG Posted August 2, 2020 Share #6 Posted August 2, 2020 Wow...those are incredible puzzles! My wife and I have done a couple of 1000 piece puzzles during the shutdown. She finds about 5 pieces to each one that I find though. I think that either those big puzzles would make me looney! Be careful with your beverages when you are working on a puzzle. I was lifting a string of 5 pieces from one side of the puzzle to the other and they buckled and fell apart right over my can of beer. Two of the pieces actually fell right through the tab top hole and into the beer can! I had to pour the beer out and cut the can open to get the two pieces out. The cardboard pieces were soaked and had delaminated by the time I got them out of the can. I placed them outside to dry and then carefully glued them back together with a glue stick so we were able to complete the puzzle even though it had a slight beer smell!
