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.

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.

We usually mark the box "1 piece missing" but not on the picture. We bought many marked that way.

Thank you for sharing, very nice! It looks like a Thomas Kinkade painting called Courage, maybe Ceaco puzzle?

Found this at a thrift Shop, still in original wrap, box lists 1972 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Gameophiles Unlimited Inc

 

Old, worn out puzzle from thrift shop missing 1 piece and very loose, barely stayed together

This is not the first time I worked on this puzzle..

 

I had to restart my island and keep it from progressing because I wanted this video. Last year I did not think of recording it, but this year I was prepared.

 

From the Currier & Ives Collection of the Museum of the City of New York (local thrift shop find)

There was a time when you could get his art with the Wysocki name, but Charles Wysocki was able to copyright that name, his brother then used Heronim , rather than Harry Wysocki. I like both artists.

I had a hard time completing this puzzle, above average challenge even for 1000 piece puzzles.
