Puzzle lover here! My problem is always about how to handle it after finishing it. It's so lovely to see a family working together for this!
@flbyrne997 жыл бұрын
You guys are brilliant and really think things out. Very clever way to turn the puzzle over. Nice to see the family involved as well. My wife and our two lads did a large puzzle here in the UK over Christmas and needed to invert it to mount it to a backing board. At the moment it's monopolising the dining table! Thanks to your excellent vid I can now convert it into a nice hanging picture!

Thank you for this video! I'm building a frame now for my 4000 piece puzzle. I saw other videos where people were screwing MDF directly onto their walls. I didn't want to put a bunch of holes in my wall, and this looks much nicer. Much cheaper than framing too!

Hello! I'm currnetly doing a 9000 piece puzzle and I was thinking of doing this instead of putting glue on the top. Do you think this is a better method?
@LegoAndPiano6 жыл бұрын
For a large puzzle you really need a sturdy frame to glue it to. If you just put a glue on top without a frame it will warp and won’t hold if you hang it for display.
@Taikamuna6 жыл бұрын
Should I glue it to a big wooden board like you did? Also does it matter what glue I use for the back of the puzzle? Does a normal house hold glue work just as fine? I was thinking about buying some mod podge to the top though.
@LegoAndPiano6 жыл бұрын
Yes, you need a board otherwise your puzzle will warp. Do not use the household glue it will not work well on MDF, plywood or any other sturdy board you decide to use. Use the glue I recommended in the video. And certainly get the Mod Podge, it will not only seal your puzzle but it will make it look better.
@Taikamuna6 жыл бұрын
How much glue should I use? The dimensions of the puzzle are 193x139cm which is around 2,7 square meters. Also would it be a good idea to sand the board to make the glue stick better?

how would you do an 18k puzzle? that is what I'm up against. your technique is really well thought out and spot on. brilliant!
@LegoAndPiano5 жыл бұрын
A puzzle of almost 4 meters long is certainly a challenge. It could still be done the same way but the frame will be very heavy, you will need to build it in a quite a large place and have lots of helpers to turn it around. I guess it depends on what you intended to do with the completed puzzle. Most people I know glue the pieces directly to the wall. To make sure there is no mistakes a large, distinctive section of a puzzle is built on a table first and then glued to the wall one by one. It’s not ideal as the slightest mistake or misalignment cannot be corrected and will show. And, of course the puzzle is there to stay.

I really liked your video! I've been sitting on a beautiful puzzle for over a year because after visiting about 10 frame shops they all say it will cost me 900 - 1400 dollars! After watching your vid you've given me hope that I can also do this myself so thank you!! Couple questions tho: 1. How did you mount the puzzle onto the backing? I've already put mine on foam core with double sided adhesive and now I'm scared that I shouldn't have.. 2. How's it been holding up? 3. If you could do this project again would you do anything differently? Thanks in advance and hope to see more vids soon!

We assembled the puzzle on the frame I made, put a large piece of MDF over it, clamped it, turned it over, put it on a table - back of the puzzle facing up, spread over glue on the frame and put the frame down on the puzzle gluing it all together. Just as you see in the video.It been holding with no issues. The frame is sturdy so it did not warp. It's looking great on the wall.
@LegoAndPiano6 жыл бұрын
1) I glued the puzzle to the frame I made. The video shows how. 2) The puzzle has been on the wall since, no issues. Its surface is well protected. 3) No, I would have not done it differently. The only advice I had, make sure the puzzle is the size it says on the box. Meaning, put it together before you make the frame. Ours wasn’t which made me adjust the frame.
@Dan-qs1jz6 жыл бұрын
I love the frame you built. I completed an 18,000 piece puzzle with dimensions of 321x157 cm. That is larger than any MDF I can find. Do you think there would be an issue with this type of frame and a seam in between two pieces of MDF?
@LegoAndPiano6 жыл бұрын
That's great! 18,000 pieces. There should be no issue if you build the frame right. I would start with the rectangular frame all around the puzzle, put a dividing spreader in the middle where the joined MDFs will be either screwed or glued to the frame, and add cross-spreaders for each of the smaller rectangles the dividing spreader created. When you screw them all together with countersunk screws covered with a sanded filler for smoothness it will be solid and smooth for the puzzle to be glued on. If you're going to use the same method of gluing the puzzle by turning it over, you will need to construct another "frame" from two MDFs to be able to cover the puzzle for turning. You may also need more people for turning it over as it will be heavy, and provide very secure wall mount fo hanging it. Don't trust any hooks that screw into the plaster, find the timber behind the plaster (the studs) and screw onto in with a good size wood screws. Please share pictures when you've done it, I would love to see it.

@LegoAndPiano6 жыл бұрын
Deborah Tmim The total weight including the frame is over 15 kg. Are you concerned with hanging it on the wall? You just need to provide adequate support for its weight, like with anything that you want to hang on the wall.

Liked the video for sole purpose that you are able to put together a 5K in 2 weeks (no matter the amount of people working on it). But the cost incurred is ridiculous. You're getting robbed. We're in Turkey and only pay $37 for the same puzzle. And we can mount and hang it for the same price or less. Not sure why you thought to spend that kind of money. Modge Podge (sp) is really expensive here, too.
