Ravensburger puzzle 3000 - Sognefjord Norwegen ( Time lapse ) 

Buffalo is a very good brand. And crazy as it may sound, must PuzzleBug (not Cardinal as Cardinal sucks), most PB from the dollar store, if not all of that same brand, are of very good quality.

+Lauren Nguyen As a kid, I was always putting together puzzles and I thought: How can I put them back in the box without disassembeling? And that is how I invent this method. Now puzzle is in box, but when I want to see how they look assembled I have just 10 minutes of work and puzzle is again completed! Thank you for watching my video!

I've been trying to do a 3000 piece one for years now... Don't always have space for it. I break down what I have together in the same fashion, and have different sections/colors separated in ziplock bags. Everything fits in the box and is easy to set up.

@@Doza137 I've had to do that for this 1000 piece one I've been battling a few times. I swear I'm going to finish it this year

What I do it's a little better, I first measure the size of the box and then I use a flat ruler or whatever to separate the "pieces chunks" from under the puzzle, that way I don't have to remove those "lines" like in the video.

@@thepuzzleman I put the spare parts back to the big parts so I just have a few big parts in the box :-)

I got into puzzles cause of COVID but love it now lol

@@Marketbugawesome !!!!!!!! Good to keep our minds focused on not so depressing things ....keep it up

@Jordan Boymel yes I agree that part was tricky for me as well .I was taking my time with it hoping it would last thru the quarantine ..but I have finished now I need to do another one 😁

@Jordan Boymel omg!! Awesome!!....I just dont have the space for something that big😔...that one is a beauty .have fun with it!!

I’ve been doing the same exact one!!! Hate that elephant 😫

Really?? 😲

I agree.🙂 Although I don't have a lot of experience with other brands, I always enjoy Ravensburger's quality, softclick technology (and fact that you can lift them without breaking apart😀) and pictures they have.

Don't restrict yourself, other good brands, White Mountain and Master Pieces.

I always prefer nature landscape pictures or puzzles instead of abstract new ones. Maybe I am a little bit old fashionable, but I simply love beautiful nature. Your way of storing puzzles is very smart because they are all put together. :)

+Kevin Star You have to start somewhere. Later you will do larger puzzles. Thank you for watching!

I started out of a bat with 2000 pieces mozaic puzzle. took me 15 months, but I finished yesterday

FEde1 H 🤯

+insi Thank you! Next video will be a 1000 pieces and after that I will upload a 5000 pieces puzzle. I have done 5000 pieces puzzle on this table too. I put a piece of wood that is larger than table and there was enough place for 5000 pieces. So you can do the same if you have a table that is not large enough. :)

The Puzzleman great idea, will definetely try it :) then im waiting for your next puzzle :)

That's my issue as well 😄

S Beharry go to the floor 😉

@@zsombro. yup I thought of that😁

+zeusbark Thank you! I like putting them together and cleaning the area so I know that I am going to the final picture with small steps. On the other side, sometimes, especially with the bigger puzzles, it is really hard to remember where some of the pieces are in all that "mess". Sometimes I wish that I have more space and bigger table to work with, but then it would have problems fitting in the recording area of camera. :)

+Kaur Puneet I invented this technique to pack them back because I wanted to have puzzle that is put together and packed in the box at the same time. Thank you very much for watching and leaving the positive comment! :)

+S Beharry Yes, left handed. Thank you so much! :)

I can't describe you how much comments like yours means to me! It is the best reward for my effort and work! :D It is realy nice to have people like you on the channel and the only thing I can say is a huge thank you! Regarding the table...well I just got used to it, but it was not easy putting together 3000 pieces puzzle on this table. You said you should try puzzles with more pieces and I absolutely agree with you! If you already put together few 1000 pieces puzzles, you should go for 1500 or 2000 pieces puzzles and later 3000 pieces or more. :) It is all about practise! ;)

I thought the same thing -- so little space compared to the size of the puzzle. How long did this really take to do?

You can see this and other information at 00:07 :)

Thank you! :D

Hi! Thank you so much for all the compliments! :D It really means me a lot and then I know that all work and effort was worth it! :D Good luck with your puzzle and good choice by the way! ;)

Thank you! :D

same thing here but i try to go for 750 and 1000 lol

Well...I would say that if you want or need something, you find a way!😁

Thanks! 😎

Thanks! :D

Thanks! :)

Thanks! :)

Thanks! :) It took me more than 26 hours of work to solve this jigsaw puzzle, so it is hardly possible to do it in one day, but puzzle marathon would be a great idea! ;)

You’re brillant!

+Best Tune Thank you!

Thanks! :)

+ForestCat_Peter I thought that solving the sky first will be the best option because it is the only part that has blue color. Other parts are similar to each other so I decided to make the sky first. Good luck with your 6000 piece puzzle! :)

Thanks 👍

+Puzzlecat Thank you! When I was looking at the picture on the box, I thought that cliffs might be the hardest part and that is the reason why I left this part for the end.

The Puzzleman it's funny, in both our videos for this puzzle we solve them in almost exactly the same order. Also, the top right was so blurry...

+Puzzlecat It is the logical order to put them together. First blue sky because it is the only part with this color, then houses, boat and water, then green color, purple mouintain and for the end cliffs. Top right and bottom left were blurry and, as you can see in my video, you can switch places for 2 pieces from those areas. Thank you for watching my video!

i agree. I haven't done this particular puzzle but I always find mountains challenging . just all the variation in color and shape but it's nature so it's cool. 😀

Thank you! :D

Thanks! :D

Exactly! When I was putting it together, I didn't notice that, but when I looked from distance, I saw it easily. :D

Thanks! :)

Thanks! :)

I wish you good luck! :D I must say, you are making a good progress since you are doing it only on weekends. I know how hard can it be, even if only 2000 pieces, because of all those faces, hands and feets. If you already are 1/4 thru it for only 2 weekends, well done, you are doing good job with this puzzle! :)

Thanks! First of all, my apologize for being late with the answer to your comment. I had some obligations to do. :) I think that sorting pieces on bigger puzzles takes a lot of time, so I work in "mess", but I know where I saw wich piece. Some puzzles can be lifted without falling apart, but with some puzzles it is realy hard to put them in box on this way. Questions like your and similar are planned to be answered in one special video that I will make. There will be tips, answers to questions and some interesting facts about puzzles. :)

Thanks! :)

+Freddy Thank you! :)

Yes, I agree. It is hard to dissasemble puzzle once you finished it. That is the reason why I "invented" this method. Since then, I am using this method every time. :)

@@thepuzzleman and i did it to my recent puzzles.

+Davidshiro Thide I always start puzzle by solving edges and then I make some plan how will I continue solving puzzle. In this case, I wanted to get rid off the sky first because there was not so much sky and it was very different color than the rest of the picture. Once I have done the sky, I went to solve next part of picture that was different color than the rest of it. In this case, it was a group of houses, than river with boat and then green part in the lower left corner because it was smaller than part with the cliff. Long story short, this was my strategy for this puzzle. Of course, you have to make new strategy for each puzzle, but I always first separate pieces that will fit the edge, than I usually separate pieces that are very different color or that are in small number in regards to other pieces. If those pieces are similar by color to each other, than I separate them by shape like I did in this video with the section of the sky. I apologize for being late with the comment and thank you very much for watching! :)

I did wrote in the description of video that I found 3 pairs of identical pieces, so there should be more of them and your theory should be correct. :) At least for 5000 pieces as you said. I recieved a comment once wich pointed me this fact. Puzzles of 5000 pieces have repeating "blocks" of pieces, which in theory means you could put the puzzle together in a totaly different combination of pieces. :D Interesting to try...

@@thepuzzleman This is a follow up on my theory. I just read an entire scientific paper on symmetries in large Ravensburger puzzles. Apparently one 9k puzzle consists 8 identical sections (blocks), so there will be 8 identical copies of each piece. Mine, which is called Tower of Babel, has 4 such sections (previously I though it was only 2), and I think so does your's. So a valid strategy, which people use when solving such puzzles, is to complete one section that in turn makes solving the rest of them much easier as you already know the exact shape to look for, which saves a lot of time. Just wanted to give this as a suggestion for future projects. P.S. The paper goes into more detail on which shapes are more likely to go together suggesting more strategies on solving each individual section even faster. However I found that these are not applicable to mine, probably because it's a newer puzzle then those mentioned in the paper.

Thank you for sharing all the information! It is really interesting way of solving bigger puzzles using method to put together one section and then follow the shape of pieces in others. 🤔

Thanks! For this video I set camera to took one picture every 5 seconds. Usually I would set it on 15 seconds because of 3000 pieces, but I thought that I won't need so much time to put together this puzzle because it has different colours and it does not has a lot of the sky. :)

Thanks! :)

Would you want to check out my puzzle Time Lapse video I've created? It's only 500 pieces tho 😂😂 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J678VlLADu8.html

I watched your video and I like it, especially music you have put on the video. :)

Thank you for that 😊 That song is from RU-vid audio library if you're interested 😀

+Athos Zubiaur Thanks! :)

You're amazing. Keep it up.

It is pretty good for puzzles up to 3000 pieces like this one, but for bigger ones I usually put something on it to get even more space to work. Maybe some time I will replace it with bigger one, but no in near future for sure. Right now I am making an upgrade to make even better videos in the future and video will be on channel in February. :D

@@thepuzzleman if you don't mind me asking where did you get the table? I have a 3000 and nowhere to put it together. Nice puzzling bro keep it up!

Actually I don't know because this table is pretty old so I can't remember where did we bought it. I had only 5 yers then. :)

Thanks! :D

+Aljazi That is the best way to do it. You have almost complete puzzle inside the box. Thank you for warching!

Thanks! :)

Thanks! :D All photographies, video parts and complete time lapse in this video was filmed with my smartphone Sony Xperia M4 Aqua and some time lapse app. I bought it primarily as a smartphone for myself, not because of RU-vid, but since it had pretty good camera for my needs, I recorded few videos with it. Later, as you can see in one of my videos, I bought Samsung Galaxy S8. Again, it was not because of RU-vid, but because I started college and I needed stronger, more reliable and newer smartphone. Since then, I am more and more into photography and videography and a year ago I bought myself Nikon dslr camera. Some parts of future videos will be recorded with dslr for sure, so you can expect even better quality videos in the future. :)

Thanks! :) I started by doing small puzzles with cars too. Everybody needs to start somewhere, this is first step and later you have to move on to bigger puzzles like this one you bought. If you have good organization and someone that you are doing puzzle with, time should not be problem. One way or another, I wish you luck with puzzle! :D

+Onel Bogdan-George Just separate pieces by shape and start putting them together from corner if it is possible. If it is not, just start from the frame. Thank you for watching!

Thank you very much! :D Yes, I definetly do need bigger table. :) There are some upgrades planned in February, but it is not about the table yet. Maybe some day I will buy a bigger table, but right now I don't have place to put it in the room and current one is ok for all my needs now. :D

+bercoelho Thank you very much for this comment. I have never noticed this fact. Just now I compare smo pictures taken on my 5000 pieces Ravensburger puzzle and this is completly true! I never thought that something like this could be true, but it really is. Maybe I will put this fact in video where I will show some strategy of solving puzzle and some interesting facts like this one if you agree. Thank you for watching and writting this comment! :D

+Gillysaurxx Yes, I know. Some puzzles are difficult to lift without falling apart. :)

I always thought how can I put them in the box again without dissasembleing? Then I made this method and since then I am using it every time. It is practical because I can complete puzzle in few minutes if I want so. :)

About 26 and half hours. You have all information at 0:08. :)

I can`t remember exactly because I have it for a long time, but I think I bought it at local store which sells Ravensburger products. :)

You have this and similar information at 00:06. :)

I don't buy new puzzles often too, I just take one of puzzles that I have and put it together. Since I have pretty big collection of puzzles, I have more puzzles to choose, but I think it is nice to put together one puzzle over and over again. I don't say it should be just one, but as I have like 10 or more to choose from, that is good. For me personally, real value of puzzle is putting it together multiple times, so you can have fun each time and it is good for practise. :) Now, about the space...yes, of course larger table is better, but you can always put a wooden board over the table as I did in my 5000 pieces puzzle video. If you don't have one, you can save money to buy it and it will help you a lot to put together puzzles over 2000 pieces. :D

The Puzzleman but I enjoyed doing the puzzles more than once. My favorite puzzle is the “rebellions are build on hope”

Yes, for people who have some experience with puzzles, it is let's say cheating. In all my videos combined, I watched picture maybe just few time. I do keep picture on the table for another reason. When I am doing puzzle, people sometimes don't know what picture will be at the end. When picture is on the desk, everybody can see anytime how will puzzle look at the end. :)

I never use the picture I sort all the pieces out and do it from my head. I hate following the picture
