Finished the first bag of this massive 32,000 pieces puzzle.

It’s my white whale puzzle and have been loving it so far. The saving grace is that each bag has the same ~1,000 piece cut pattern four times. The last picture shows how once you build one image, you can lay another one over it and use the grid pattern as a guide to speed things up. Using this repeat pattern to avoid misfits and as a guide, I got the first bag done in 53 hours.

The second Image shows how I divided the first bag into 6 sections. I flipped each section, used painters tape to secure it and stored it back in the box.
