Hi all. I'm looking at doing my first 3000 piece puzzle. Any advice on what to use as a puzzle board. Dimensions seem to be about 4' x 3', in old money!

Hi all. I'm looking at doing my first 3000 piece puzzle. Any advice on what to use as a puzzle board. Dimensions seem to be about 4' x 3', in old money! Hi Desmo, The big dining table is a good idea.....if you've got one! I can only fit up to 1000's on mine. A custom made board sounds like a good idea to me. Do you puzzle alone, or with your partner? Bet she can't wait to get started on the 3000! You'd better get a move on and get to B&Q sharpish! A puzzler without a puzzle gets very bad tempered indeed! Oh, I just wondered what type of picture this 3000 piece puzzle of your has. What are it's main features???

do remember to take a photograph of you with your large completed puzzles, and send them in to Margaret. Who knows you may even appear in the following newsletter.

I do puzzle with my partner, but she often leaves me to do the hard bits! Are the fairer sex better at certain aspects of puzzling? Are men worse at others? Re the 'hard bits'.....Are you sure she's not just leaving the BORING bits to you?? - like the sky etc etc.....while she concentrates on the more interesting and stimulating parts of the puzzle! I think women have a much keener eye and can spot pieces more easily, even in a relatively full box! My partner's a bit crafty there, coz I'm constantly picking out the pieces for him to put in! That's when I tend to miss out on doing the puzzle itself! By the way.....Have you got that large board sorted yet???
