I got it a long time ago maybe 25 years ago or so. I think an improved version of it is available on Amazon and hobby stores online. The new version zips up and has a handle and two sorting trays.
If you get a puzzle board stay away from the roll up ones. They bend the pieces.

Yay for a no picture person! You're doing it the right way!
My dad taught me as a very young child that it was cheating to look at the box/picture, so I never do.OMG a 'no picture' jigsaw puzzler! I have the greatest admiration!
I think I'm going to pull out a jigsaw today. I have a backlog that I got for free from here or there.
For a challenge, try a completely clear acrylic puzzle:

There's a waiting list to buy the puzzle. The puzzles are back ordered until at least July.
3D puzzles are pretty challenging, too. I remember putting a Puzz 3D one together a long time ago. I think it was a famous castle.
This Clear Acrylic Puzzle Is Here to Keep You Busy from Now Until Forever
In the event that your brain isn’t already frazzled to pieces by the barrage of nerve-racking current events, there’s a clear jigsaw puzzle waiting to send your neurons into a tizzy. After briefly examining this unique jigsaw, we’ve decided that anyone who attempts to assemble it must be either...

You should try it. I think it makes putting the puzzle together a lot more engrossing since you really have to pay attention to the colors and images to figure out how they all fit together..OMG a 'no picture' jigsaw puzzler! I have the greatest admiration!

Got the outside done! Will do more tomorrow.
I love the 3d ones. I have a few of the towers made to scale collection, the Willis Tower and the Chrysler building and the American Radiator building. Next to each other they are scale to their full size counterparts.
I used to have the titanic and the London bridge but it got lost
An awful lot of people seem to be doing jigsaw puzzles right now - so many that there's a shortage:
Demand for jigsaw puzzles is surging as coronavirus keeps millions of Americans indoors

My mom asked for an easy one of mine to start with, she ended up taking 1000 piece candy bar one haha. I'm going through and redoing some of mine to see how many pieces are missing, if they are complete I can give them to someone else around here that's looking. There's been a few on my local swap and shops lately.
I would love the Titanic
Day 2.5 of working on this puzzle.
I love it!! I just checked on mine and it left Grove City, Ohio this morning. That's about 2 hours from here.

Doing better than me. I put in about 10 pieces and then gave up because the light's not great.
Play this while you're working on it.Our Prime Minister, Scott Morrison (ScoMo for short.. Australians just love to shorten everything) told people they can only go out for essential services.. the usual groceries, health, and to pick up a jigsaw!
Of course now everyone is into them as they're a very efficient and enjoyable time-waster.
I've been into them for a long time as I think they're really meditative.
Anyway, this will not be the most 'used' thread in the lounge, but I thought for those of us who are into them, we could share what we're doing.
I knowMia6 is eagerly awaiting a new one, and I'm half way through this one, of a rather disturbing Alice (in Wonderland). You can see her in all her evil glory when she's finished.
So if you have any jigsaws, past or present, here's the spot for them.

I have to have an extra light that sits on the table. Otherwise it’s just too dark.
Oh I do recall that song. An anthem of my generation and time.

I need to get a new one. The old lamp I used to use broke. If it's sunny, we get great light in here in the afternoon, but it's overcast today.

Just in case anyone runs out of puzzles at home. I found this website that allows you to do puzzles for free.
