Looks good!

On edit : The largest puzzle we did is 2000 pieces, I don't think we have room for a 3000 piece puzzle and physically unable to do puzzles on the floor. Thanks for sharing

Nice! Most puzzles we do are from thrift shops, many times they are complete, and occasionally we get one still in the sealed bag.

Please consider posting pictures of your 5000 piece puzzle on the Lemmy Jigsaw Puzzles community. The biggest jigsaw puzzle we did was 2000, I don't think we could do anything bigger than that.

 

Although the box looked new I could not find anything on line by Master Pieces, only those with a train

Yes, I forgot about that!

Interesting chart. It has been several months since we were cross breeding roses to get blue roses. I do not remember what method finally worked but do know it took months to get our first blue rose, now we keep a lot.

Thanks, I have been reading the information on rtings.com for several days, it is helpful.

 

We did this twice, first time I forgot to take a picture before I packed it up to go back to Goodwill. These large 300 piece puzzles, are great for anyone with limited eyesight and/or dexterity. I think the Buffalo 300 & 500 piece puzzles are better quality than the 1000 piece puzzles, they seem thicker and fit better, no false positives.

Thanks for the suggestions, the OLED models look to be the best quality, but I read users that keep their TV on for several hours a day are better off with a QLED. We play ACNH for several hours a day, watch a couple TV shows and have the CCTV cameras on for most of the time we are awake. Maybe 12+ hours a day would be too much for a Oled and we would get screen burn in. On the other hand I saw some like LG have programs that run when the TV is off to keep the burn in from developing. On the other hand they said the old Plasma models were sensitive to screen burn in and ours has been working hard almost every day for several years and only recently started showing signs of burn in that we could see.

I used the Pixelfed web site, do not know about apps for Pixelfed. I signed up, did not follow anyone and hit create a post, when finished it gave me a link to put into the Lemmy the same way I did with Igmur. If Igmur works better for you, I would keep using it until a better app is available.

We saw the notice Boost was going to Lemmy and installed the Boost for Lemmy upgrade app and then signed up for Lemmy. As soon as Boost for Lemmy is released we will get it as an upgrade to our current Boost installation. Our Boost for Reddit still works, perhaps something extra for people that got the upgrade to Lemmy app install? My wife and joined Lemmy to keep using Boost - I hate using the Reddit app. The last day or two, Lemmy has been pretty good, even Jerboa is working OK, just can not do videos easily.

Heronim ( aka Harry Wysocki, brother of Charles Wysocki ) puts a black cat in all his puzzle pictures. I am led to believe there was a dispute and Charles Wysocki trademarked the Wysocki brand name so his brother started using the name Heronim.

Springbok are a little harder to fit together at times, but they usually stay together better than most. Some puzzles are just too fragile, the slightest bump and they come apart. We watched most of the shows on this puzzle, it was nice remembering the theme songs.

Nice, I like Eurographics puzzles, usually good quality but don't see them too often in the thrift shops

Originally I used Igmur but after reading some of the posts I tried Pixelefed and it seemed as easy as Igmur, you can pick if you want your entire album or just a single video to post, it gives you a link to copy and past into the create post where is says URL and Lemmy updates it. I did not learn how to add a thumbnail, but still looking, I am hoping android Boost for Lemmy will soon be released, it made these things easier on Reddit.
