Because of my 3 cats and small home it was necessary to find a way to make puzzles portable. It’s always so aggravating to be missing a piece and now an unfinished puzzle can be put out of the cats reach before they get a chance to knock various pieces on the floor. The drawers work great for laying out the pieces yet easily can be stored. I put an edge piece on two sides so the puzzle can be squared up and to prevent it from sliding off when the board is moved. The drawer handles also work great as transport handles.

Wow, great idea!
I like puzzles, and I always sort my pieces before I start, so this would be a perfect project for me to build.
Excellent work, and thanks for sharing!

I love the project but if you don’t mind me saying, I would go a step further. Add a 3rd edge but add dado’s to all the edges just above the puzzle pieces. That would allow you to slide a top on that could be latched into place to allow you to store the unfinished puzzle up right.

Belg – it is 30” by 21”
Woody – that is an interesting thought but wouldn’t work for me as you would really have to make that lid tight to the puzzle to turn it on edge as unfinished areas would collapse and all the pieces in the drawers would get bunched up. I like having everything spread out and easy to see myself. Its not worth it to me to try and make the tolerances that tight in the drawers and on the top.

We have a cloth that we roll up the puzzle in when now werking on it but I like this idea also. It seems to aid also in keeping the puzzle together as you werk on it. What I really like about the board is if you need to move it just close drawers and move with no misalignment of partial sections moving together. Also you could build as many drawer sections as you want underneath. Neat

Check under the stove and fridge. That’s where my missing pieces tend to end up after the cat has had a hay day playing with them on the wood floor.
Nice creation!
