Friendly place to discuss puzzles and share pictures of jigsaw puzzles you have completed. Please do not keep posting the same puzzle over and over again or puzzles other people completed. If you do a puzzle a second time, you can post it again but wait about 30 days between posts and let everyone know you did it again.
Be sure to list the name (if known) puzzle brand, piece count. If you want to remark on quality, artist or degree of difficulty it is ok too.
The only time I might downvote or remove a post or comment is if it is inappropriate. I fully understand and appreciate that not all of us have the same skill levels, financial or physical ability or the same amount of time to devote to doing jigsaw puzzles. Therefore I always upvote every puzzle posted, even if may not be one I truly like.
Please be nice, no abusive comments

Are you actually building all of these puzzles so quickly?
There are two older adults (retired). We do not usually work on the puzzles the same time but do share the same puzzle. At one time we had a different setup, using a 48" round table and we could work together, but now use a rectangular table with a bright shop light suspended over the puzzle for better light. My wife will do diamond art work if I am working on the puzzle. Without going into personal details, we are physically limited in the things we can do.
That's pretty cool! Do you have a ton of your own puzzles, or do you have access to a puzzle library?
We do have many puzzles that we do more than once, but buy a lot from thrift stores and outlet stores, also check online . Amazon some times will sell puzzles for about $5.00 (US) with free shipping.
I've wondered the same thing. It's impressive.
