The trick for framing them is to paint the whole thing in PVA glue to bond it together so it can't fall apart in the frame. That is how the experts do it.

PVA glue is sold as Selleys Aquadhere. (but not Aquadhere Exterior or Aquadhere Durabond as they don't dry clear like the normal Aquadhere)

My uncle is a jigsaw freak...he's always working on one.

For the past 2 months he's been working on a HUGE puzzle...and finally finished it.

As he was putting it in the frame last weekend, he dropped it...guttered!

don't do that!! just group all the pieces, pick out all of the bits that look like they're part of the bench, part of the cobblestones, part of the floor, part of the roof, and work on each area. Eventually you find a bit that links them together and keep filling in the blanks

I took care of the Point Cook one. I think Davo111, Snail and Bnicho mighta stitched the Werribee shop up :P
When I was at Point Cook I saw another bloke wandering around with one he'd pulled from the pile. I considered fighting him for it too...
