When you realized that there are only 4 corner pieces in the entire set.

he probably wishes he had waited to start this when quarantine started

[EndOfAssembly]

It took him 9 months to finish, so this puzzle is like his baby

That's my issue with calling this a 42, 0000 piece puzzle when it's really just seven 6, 000 piece puzzles if the person doesn't mix them up before starting. It's a completely different concept entirely doing a true 42, 000 piece puzzle versus seven 6, 000 piece puzzles. This person clearly mixed them all together and so he rightly deserves full credit for doing this massive beast.

I'm more impressed with his ability to sit on the floor or kneel for that long.

To address some of the comments: the puzzle comes in 7 bags of 6, 000 pieces each. The backs of the pieces are not marked at all. The sky is not only blue but also contains some sections of white and some sunsets, so it’s very hard to tell whether the non-blue pieces are sky or not. Each panel has green sections everywhere. Sometimes, there’s a large tree, other times, it’s ferns and shrubs among buildings. I have been working on the puzzle since September 2019 and am about 2/3 of the way through Panel 5. Since I don’t have room in my house to lay out the full 25 feet, I’ve done one panel at a time. At one point, our puppy ate about 100 pieces. I had to buy the entire puzzle again and find the missing pieces. That was excruciating. I expect to finish in another year or so. This is one of the most fun projects I’ve ever done.

You know it’s a big puzzle when the sorting alone takes 2 months

[danzz]

It’s so impressive how he did it in only 2 minutes and 34 seconds

[douglaslwarren]

I’m just impressed by his sorting abilities. How he has all the right pieces in the general area they belong in.

This is one of those videos that youtube will recommend you after 6 years

Me: searching for “500 piece puzzle time lapse”

Me: sees 42000 piece puzzle

[dwaynekoblitz]

If I started this puzzle today I’d finish 10 years after I died.

[irmo]

I can feel his back pain from all the time sitting there

[melissa]

I love how you just emptied all bags on one spot. It was interesting to see your approach on an handling so many pieces. Nice work!

[maritima]

This is so impressive!! I'd be overwhelmed just by sorting the pieces, the paaaatience 😳
Must've felt amazing putting the last one in 😌

[ishy]

Imagine accidentally forgetting to press the record button...

[clarisseco]

When you find out he uploads every few years because he’s probably working on another puzzle...

"Finally, after months of hard work, one puzzle piece is left, but where is the hole its suppose to go in"

I really love the Pj's, i saw AT LEAST 3 weeks of clothing changes going on, but we got before bedtime in pj's putting in a lot of time. I also respect the masterful puzzle meditation pose. Gonna have to try that. I also am deeply impressed by the organization of pieces, color organization, then by shape and tone of color. Very cool to see them in rows goin into the piece. Really enjoyed watching this. MAD RESPECT!
