Educa 42,000 Piece Puzzle - Mixing Bags, Part 1

Hi Everyone and welcome to Puzzle Me This! Sorry for the focusing problems in the beginning of the video. I hope to do an update every 3 months. See you then, John. I'll leave a link below where I bought the puzzle and the Youtubers that I like watching that will be doing it.

Here is a link to where I bought the puzzle, it is $285.99 plus shipping.

This man knows how to take a big challenge and make it bigger just for fun.

I have often thought the same thing - doing 7 bags one at a time is not the same as mixing all the bags. Congratulations and well done, I saw your finished puzzle. You are truly a puzzle master. My hat is off to you. 👏👏👏👏👏💕

[sonjacoleman]

I agree if you don't mix the bags, you are just doing a bunch of smaller puzzles, but I just don't know anyone with that much free space. Especially for that long a time span. Can't wait to live vicariously through all your videos.

Agree on mixing it all up! Wish I had a space to build this

[derrickbowyer]

Hi John. I just got this puzzle also and agree about mixing them all to do one big puzzle, although I understand not everybody has the space to do that.

You are so incredibly wholesome and I wish you the best of luck with this puzzle. I'm looking forward to seeing the progress of this one!

[jankates]

Haha I got ridiculously excited when you picked a handful up and I saw an edge piece.

[pamelaholdsworth]

I hope you update more frequently than once every three months. I love watching people complete puzzles. It's relaxing and I learn about new puzzles that I would love to do myself.

I respect your opinion on “big puzzles aren’t big puzzles unless you do them all at once”, but I’m doing a 13, 000 piece puzzle (and considering how the biggest one I’ve done so far is a measly 1000 pieces), I’ll stick to one bag at a time 😅

I will make sure to keep checking in on your progress though! Good luck :)

[davidrivers]

Thanks I will follow your journey I to do puzzles and end up doing them alone. Its a great time for me to listen to music and veg out.

We have already seen videos 3 and 4. Now we are here at video 1 with my tablet linked to the TV. Your mixing is amazing. Great fun... 😮

[juliestoltzfoos]

This is great! I’m excited to follow you. And I’ll be over to help! 😀

[brendad]

Wow this is an amazing challenge! I will follow this along

[timsgmail]

Looking forward to seeing your progress!

Amazing!! A true puzzler through and through, mixing all the pieces. Awesome. What a journey ahead of you man, that is some image. I am along for the ride! Best of luck. I started the 18, 000 piece Educa Sistene Chapel puzzle, and after mixing all bags, sorting, completing the edge and a few small areas, I currently have it rolled up and stored. I wish I had the free time to consistently work on it.

I m glad to hear you 'll let it be a community of friends and family achieve this goal with you. I m hoping one day to do this puzzle too. Good luck, happy puzzling.

[kathylynn]

I totally agree you are putting together a 42000 piece puzzle. I wish you much luck and hope you post often..yes I will listen to you talk. I hope you have good lighting. Good luck...I will scribe so I can keep up with your progress.

I just recently completed this puzzle. I wish that I had a big table like you so that I could have worked on the whole thing all at once. It would have made things much easier on me! Although I am space challenged, I did mix all the pieces…I wouldn’t have it any other way. I had 10 40”x60” foam boards that I worked across. My table could fit two stacks of boards side by side. So, I was constantly shuffling the boards back and forth to work the different sections. After 17 months, I finally finished…with no missing pieces! I do still have to pack up all the boards and take them to my mom’s basement as there is enough space there to get the entire puzzle put together. Best of luck to you! I look forward to watching your progress!
