I'm halfway through the puzzle! Make sure to watch until the end so you can share your thoughts and what I should do with it once I'm finished 👀 Also, I just put up a bonus video on Patreon sharing all of the audiobooks, podcasts, and music I've been listening to while I puzzle.

I think taping it up is fair considering it’s part of your job; you wouldn’t be contributing to the puzzling community by sharing the physical puzzle, but you’re contributing in other ways (visibility, history/research, ability to compare puzzles in ways that no one else really could)

@petrescuework-difficultcas6581 2 жыл бұрын

I would decide on the factor of if you want to keep this puzzle. Is the design something that really appeals to you? Does it have a sentimental value to you? If so and if you know you still never would want to put it together again, tape it up. If it doesn't have any value for you and you just bought it for the experience of doing it, I would give another person this opportunity by giving it away.

Tape it. The value is more than just a photo. Its perspective. A unique value of your videos is the perspective viewers gain for puzzles they will never do. Whether its size, vintage, challenge level, etc. You help us puzzle lovers enjoy puzzles we will never do ourselves. For the big puzzles, understanding the size by comparison to other puzzles and your body is very enriching.

Exactly! its her job! The same thing happens in the makeup community. People balk at the size of YTers collections or when Beauty News was doing the Makeup Breakup & people would have an absolute FIT over products being destroyed... they paid the money or had it donated for that specific purpose. No one has any right to tell a person what to do with their personal possessions. They can offer advice and they can keep their negative opinions to themselves... that's it. Anything else is rude. I actually go through this when I choose to donate stuff I make to cat shelters... ppl will legit judge me for not donating to dog shelters too or for donating to animals at all because I could be donating to babies instead... blah blah blah. And these are people who aren't even making charitable donations, they're just judging mine.

I would just divide the puzzle into smaller sections and bag them. That way, if you build it again it's not as time-consuming to do 9000 pieces all over again, rather you could do bags of 500 or 1000. That is what I did for the 42k, Around the World puzzle. I split it into bags of 1000 so when I do it again it will be much easier. No damage to the pieces either.

For me, the bar for taping a puzzle is set by a couple things- firstly, is it a piece of art I want on my wall? This mostly applies to smaller ones. Second, do I feel strongly about being able to do the puzzle again? For something like the life puzzle, the answer would be a hard no. It's also a pretty highly prized possession of mine, so I wouldn't sell it either. Maybe if you could see yourself selling the minions puzzle or doing it again someday, don't tape it. Go with your gut though!

What I like to do with large puzzles is break them up into smaller sections and put each section in it's own bag, that way it is faster to put back together one bag at a time. Each bag is it's own smaller puzzle! I can then still enjoy redoing my puzzles, but in a quicker time frame. VACATION

Your ability to work on puzzles upsidedown is awesome. My brain has the toughest time with that. I wonder if you tried maybe using rubber cement to attach the pieces to some cardstock...

I vote that you tape it and store it as you've done with the other large format puzzles. This is truly the best way for you to preserve that copy of the puzzle. If it were to be disassembled and put back in the box, the chances of damage, or loss of pieces, only increases. In addition, there is no guarantee that it would ever be reassembled, by you, or anyone else. Hang on to that dream of displaying all those large format puzzles on one floor a few decades in the future - it will be glorious. Regardless, I hope you take at least a small vacation after this one.

@MathIsMagical 2 жыл бұрын

My thoughts on taping the puzzle… it’s your property do with in what you will. If you want to tape it so you can easily put it back together again (which makes the most sense for someone who makes their living running a jigsaw puzzle channel) then do it. If you want to sell it afterwards then do that ( which also makes sense). Don’t think of it as taking a copy away from someone, anytime you buy or use something can be thought of in that manner and that way of thinking leads to heartache. Do with your property what you want to do with it.

I don’t think it’s a bad thing to think about the broader implications of something beyond our own personal experience with it and I respect the argument Karen presented. But I do think she should do whatever makes her the most comfortable. Either way the puzzle will live on, just in different forms.

When I was younger, I glued a few of my favorite puzzles together and hung them on the wall. After many years and moves, only one of those puzzles still survives, but it is in a closet somewhere. I am trying to be more selective on which puzzles I keep and which puzzles I pass on to others. I haven't glued any puzzles in a long time but I probably have a couple that I would like to. It is selfish of me to tell someone else what to do with their puzzles, but I really love it when you pull out older puzzles to compare them with other puzzles. I think those videos are very interesting. It is also amazing to look back at all of the puzzles you have accomplished in a physical form all together. It is one thing to watch the videos but to see them all out on a floor displayed would be so awesome. Keep up all the great work. Maybe when you finish this puzzle you should take a vacation and then you could share some of your vacation photos with us. Cheers.

I think this puzzle is worth taping together purely because of the size perspective. It is a really good size between the 5000 pieces and the giant 24,000 piece puzzle. As you do more large puzzles, you won't need to tape them if you have this one permanently finished. Also I think a really fun idea for a video would be to get a 1000 piece puzzle that is widely available and do a video purely as a way to help start people to do the same puzzle on their own. You can show yourself planning how you would do it, getting started, and talk more in depth about the strategies for tackling that specific puzzle. Then, over a period of a month or two you can have people tag you on Instagram showing their progress and you can make a video wrapping up how you finished the puzzle as well as featuring the progress of other people. It would be fun to do a puzzle "together" with all of us sharing our progress. I really enjoy your channel!

After reading a bunch of comments, I feel like I'm in the minority but for me the keepsake of the puzzle is really the experience of doing it. I always leave them hanging around a week or so and undo them. You have the pleasure of making it, the memory, the video and the pictures. The puzzle itself in the end is only the tool for the whole experience. I'd put it back into the box if it were me :D

Also this one is a fun challenge but not particularly pleasing :)

I definitely can feel the excitement and the joy you have on your jigsaw puzzles! I feel the same exact way I would love to just work on puzzles all day! I know everyone has their way of doing puzzles! However when I do my puzzles I also like to work alone and I choose not to look at the picture on the box nor the poster pamphlet and work from memory! I was just wondering if you ever finished a puzzle without looking at the picture. It would be cool if you can do a video without looking at the picture and do the big actual puzzle. I'm not as advanced in doing the humongous puzzles like you but I've always wanting to do one! I am rooting for taping this great puzzle🙂!

I love the way you puzzle! I'm hooked on watching lol. I'm an extreme puzzler, what I mean by this is I build large puzzles while having 2 cats that have to help...my boyfriend thinks I'm crazy.

I personally think you should tape it together. I love seeing all the big puzzles pictures you do.

Vacation! I have always passed my puzzles on…eventually…after satisfied “redos” and “leave outs” to show and enjoy. Doing is totally self satisfying, but enjoying them made-up is more a shared enjoyment.

The blurry timelapes just reminded me of me trying to record my jigsaw progress on a flip phone and I love it

I had a larger puzzle. Since I am older and my back aches with leaning in. I separated the puzzle in half after it was framed, pushed the middle toward the edge and I worked on center part. I am doing that now on 2000 piece puzzle. Also it is harder for me to see details farther away with my bifocals. I have bought a few of the puzzles that you have featured. I especially like the gradient colours puzzles. Thanks for the ideas.

I think you should collect these assembled puzzles and someday take them on a tour around the country (or around the world) and put them on display in many different cities so puzzle fans can see them (and you) in person.

You purchased the puzzle. It is yours to do with as you wish and NEVER let anyone tell you otherwise. I don't think taping it together and keeping it to bring it out once or twice a year to compare to other puzzles or to just fit back together to stare at it for your own personal gratification is a bad thing. Not at all! If you wanted to set fire to it, that's your prerogative and no one has any room to judge you. This has been a heart puzzle of yours so I sincerely doubt you'll ever give it away. I think like the other massive puzzles you've done, you should keep it! Who knows, maybe someday you'll have a jigsaw puzzle museum and interactive experience. I actually think this is an amazing idea personally. People can learn about the history of jigsaw puzzles... see some of the largest ever all put together and displayed for scale with info about how long it took and when they were put together and the manufacturers, etc. Also, you donate plenty of puzzles that are far more realistic for the average puzzler to put together every year thanks to companies sending you PR.

Tape 'em up. I enjoy seeing the comparisons you make with the other puzzles and you. 😉😂😉 Take care and have fun!!! 😷😎😷

They're your puzzles, so to tape them or not is your decision, (but it is kinda true that for rarer puzzles they lose their market value.. not the value YOU give to them)
