We used a big fold out table and layed a piece of plywood on top. We built it in for sections. After each section was done we slid it one a bigger piece of plywood the is big enough for the whole puzzle and added each section to it. Once it was done we were going to take the big piece out side but could not get the plywood out the door. LOL Even tried to slant it to get it out, but the puzzle wanted to slide off the board. So we left it on the reckroom florr for a while and took pictures. Then we took it apart and sent it to some one else to have fun putting it together. Its a beautiful picture puzzle.

I went to a local hardware stor and bought cheap wood paneling for a mobile home then put it on top of my table.

Unfortunately I have not been able to start on this puzzle yet, so I have no advice on what surface would be the best solution for this.

I had to have mine customize and went to a lumber yard and had a piece of smooth lumber cut aleast 4 inch wider on all four corner to make sure I had enough room to work around on the board I hope this answers your question which measured the size of a queen size bed way larger than I thought it would had been

I took 2 pieces of 3/8" plywood and connected them side by side. Using the place where they connected as the center point. Left as least one foot on each side to help with space in order to put puzzle together. Sanded the whole board smooth, putting the puzzle together now and then glueing it down.

I used rigid foam insulation that comes in a 4x8 sheet... I cut notches in it to keep the pieces together (I couldn't get the whole sheet in my car) and added some extras along the long edge to make it deep enough. It was a 3/4 inch thick sheet

The puzzles that are flat, and even the ones that have the little plastic pegs in them for lifting the pieces by, fit well. However, I don't have any of the puzzles that have the larger pieces that are elevated about the rest of the board. I am guessing that if the pegs fit, those bigger pieces would, also, but I don't know for sure.

there is nothing wrong with the tool however, gluing a bunch of 2x4's 2x6' etc. together will only work for a few weeks . These boards will shrink and generate a huge amount of splits and gaps as they WILL shrink..., can't be avoided. Plywood over boards is a better idea.

The finished puzzle measures 76" x 54". You're gonna need a bigger table....

There are as many pieces in each puzzle as you care to have. The options available can be customized to as little or as many as you want. Options also give you different choices of puzzle shapes for a fun challenge or the standard classic shape. If you choose a large number of pieces (550 ex.) you can enlarge the shape size to get a better view of the colors/design that you are doing, then return the size to fit the entire puzzle on your screen. Enjoy!

It's not like a puzzle, it will be your own creation. The image shown is just an example but it's actually bits and pieces you assemble to your liking. It's not hard and you won't feel lost but you should have an idea of how u want it to look. If you keep a picture of this image shown you should be able to duplicate it if you choose to

I bought this for my great grandson, Scarlett. He took it home with him so I really can't answer your question. I will contact my daughter and ask her, but most puzzles have a fairly light colored backing so I doubt there would be a problem.

I needed some 6.25"x4.5"x8" blocks as the starting point for a project. so i created "beams" of that size and a few feet long. then cut them into the length blocks i needed. Worked like a charm. (long answer for a short question - the answer is yes.)

I think you should really check out the globe bantam board. It's really sturdy too and works just as well. My friend has it and he really likes it. Its just a few inches longer but it makes no difference. It just might make it easier. Trust me. >.<

Hi Susan. I'm not 100% sure I'm following your question but I'll try to answer. Puzzle Presto comes as several adhesive pages. Out of the box they're 7.5 x 15 inches. (These sheets have a perforated division in the middle if you need to pull apart to make it 7.5 x 7.5) For smaller puzzles this is perfect. For example, my company makes 100-piece puzzles that are 11 x 15. (you can see one of the puzzles if you search for "sensational sealife" on amazon) When I was searching for a solution to frame samples I bought this product and found that one full sheet covered most of the job. I simply cut the 2nd sheet in half lengthwise and "presto". (wink) The sheet's aren't hard to cut so you really could use as much or as little as you need. The adhesive is pretty good though - I'm using these on our much larger puzzles as well and they keep them securely together. (meaning the adhesive is strong enough to handle a little weight) That said, you could pull a puzzle piece off after you've applied it but I wouldn't do it too many times or your puzzle pieces will suffer. I hope that helps! Mische, Top Bot @ Blue Dot Robot Games

I don't know. I have a 2. I'm guessing the puzzle is not around the shape/depth but the placement of the holes.

I was flipping a puzzle with small pieces, so they were fit together pretty tightly. Also, the puzzle itself wasn't too big, so I was able to support the whole thing and it wasn't like the edges were pulling down. I slid the puzzle off onto a piece of cardboard (I think a broken down cereal box), said a little prayer, and flipped onto a flat surface. You'd be surprised how well the pieces actually stay together. Good luck!

A shap 5x7 image can be blown up to a half wall mural you can go bigger but have to imagine parts. Hope this helps

You can only build one at a time since most of the pieces are used in all of the featured designs but if u buy 6 ,and for this price it's not expensive, you can do all 6 at once. My brother did.

I would think you could use it to mount the pieces, but you would still need a frame and board behind it for support. I used a regular puzzle, and it needs to be framed to be sturdy. It will hang as is, but I would recommend framing a wooden-piece puzzle as well.

Board size is 19-1/2 in. high; 19 in. wide with a total of 200 wood letter tiles. I think tiles are a bit larger than the regular tiles, but not by that much. Tiles per each letter are as follows: A = 16 J = 2 S = 10 B = 4 K = 2 T = 15 C = 6 L = 7 U = 7 D = 8 M = 6 V = 3 E = 24 N = 13 W = 4 F = 4 O = 15 X = 2 G = 5 P = 4 Y = 4 H = 5 Q = 2 Z = 2 I = 13 R = 13 BLANK = 4If you are a scrabble lover you will love Super Scrabble. It's hours of fun and very challenging. I love it! Board size is 19-1/2 in. high; 19 in. wide with a total of 200 wood letter tiles.
