Compo 10,328 Posted October 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 The video hads been removed Katyjay but 33,600 pieces is one hell of a big puzzle. I did this one the other day and it was a right barsteward to do. The pieces all looked the same: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted October 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 994 pieces; six were missing. Why do people put incomplete jigsaw puzzles into chartity shops?! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

darkazana 1,736 Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Was that one of the Wasgij's Compo? I love those puzzles, spotting the same characters and seeing what they are up to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted October 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 all sorts of folk were depicted in it. Even Superman had a fly by! Can't recall the artists name off hand but will look it up when I reutrn from camping on sunday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor S 2,003 Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 More patience than I have, Compo........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chulla 4,946 Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 #9 Compo. Find out who gave the puzzle to the charity shop, go round to their house and empty the hoover dust bag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tomlinson 879 Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 They call the Norwich City forward line 'jigsaw' because they go to pieces in the box, but I suppose it's said about most teams sometime or other. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 I like that one, tomlinson. I've not heard it before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted December 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 My latest efforts this jigsaw puzzle season. The lighter bits on this puzzle glow in the dark: The top row of sky was so difficult on this puzzle that when I had completed it I turned the top row over and numbered the pieces so that it would be easier next time! It took many, many attempts to get it right and it did not come right until the puzzle was almost complete. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Don't let carni see all these chocolate pictures. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chulla 4,946 Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Here's another example of dad's creative handiwork. Not quite a jigsaw because the pieces are not interlocking. Not so easy as it looks. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
albert smith 803 Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 Oh, Dear 'The Titanics' gone down again! it was so difficult to do I framed it and the strings broke, it hit the skirting & shattered glass & half the pieces across the carpet. It's now resting under the bed 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I did but SWMBO didn't - she pranged her car whilst driving through to Devil's Bridge to pick me up at the end of the ride! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
