A jigsaw company where the jigsaws come with the edge pieces in a separate bag.

Separating out the edge pieces is the worst and you always miss a couple.

Monsters who do the jigsaw without starting with the edges can use the billions of old jigsaws that will be immediately consigned to charity shops once my company takes off.

Even better - jigsaws that come ready put together! Save you spending hours trying to work out which piece goes where 😃

I think you’ve just invented the picture.

Those are already available but for some reason they market them as 'pictures'. 😉

Genius. I'd buy one.

I'll phone 'Dragons' Den' immediately.

If anyone thinks the idea of separate bags for different pieces is unworkable - Lego manage it!

I’ve separated out my edge pieces and am doing the edges and it’s not going well because I suspect a large number of the bastards are still in the box.

This won’t happen when I rule the world.

My DM gives me all her new jigsaws to do first and insists I remove all the edge pieces to a separate bag before I give them back to her.

Oh, child labour, that is a genius idea!

It's a fantastic idea

( haven't done a puzzle since my teens )

The best but about doing a jigsaw is sorting out the edgy bits!

I'd give you the full amount you need investing for less than 1% of the business and I'd buy them separated every time!!! Absolutely hate the sorting part.

Yes! It is ON!

I've just done my edges and I've missed NINE pieces. I think I was blinded by the fury of being forced into manual labour just to access my jigsaw.

I've found 8 of them which now raises the worry of the Missing Piece.
