ES,
It's a paddle wheel from a European paddle steamer which manages to alter the angle of attack of the blades by all those rods, leavers, agricultural bearings and other thingys.
I found the puzzle difficult because so many bits looked the same in isolation. I also found it impossible to imagine in slow motion how it all worked even at the 44 rpm (IIRC) that I counted the engine revs at.
Hope that you found it equally difficult although I see that Tmac seems to have mastered it.
If you solved it in less than five minutes at 100 pieces I will shout you a small jar of vegemite (perhaps that is) ........
Geoff

Thanks Neville.

I have cheated (as usual) in unrotating the pieces and reducing the cut to ~100. Usually takes me around 15 minutes each on this basis.

Haven't done the passenger vessel yet but here is one of mine in the meantime:

https://www.jigsawplanet.com/?rc=play&pid=1c9e59362ad7

It was an experimental attempt to be 'arty' using Photoshop.

Fills in the time as we are locked up (or down) for at least another week here in Victoria.

Morning Geoff,

Yes! see that everything is not rosy down under. Our cousin lives in Melbourne but not heard from him in a while. He wont be a happy bunny as he is very much into walking and exploring now he is retired. Amazed how few vaccinations have been carried out in OZ.

Will have a go at the jigsaws another time.

A clue with the aircraft is Aer Lingus.

I can't eat sirloin steak because my teeth are not up to it and I can't do your saw-jigs because my eyes are not up to it.

Sorry.

I'm finding HS Bruckner very difficult, I'll carry on but may revert for an easier puzzle.

Don't forget that the pieces are randomly rotated - you can adjust this together with the number of pieces that you want to play.

I will try later; James Bond 007 starts in a minute!

Sorry if the puzzles are a bit too hard. I was asked to make them tougher. If the consensus if for less difficulty - I will ease up on the number of pieces when I post some more. Let me know please.

If YM can manage them surely the cream of East Antrim shouldn't be whinging.

Neville,

Do you need to worry about this?

I think that players can simply select a puzzle and then go to 'play as' (top RH corner of the puzzle and pick the shape and number of pieces that they want to play. This is regardless of what the poster of the puzzle has set. Random rotation can also be selected or unselected.

I have just put a new puzzle 'Dredging the Yarra' of 100 pieces without random rotation if anyone wishes to 'experiment'.

Dredged in 25.09 Is this a record?

Was looking for a proper dredger not a JCB on a pontoon.

The old stationmaster is more than a pretty face, well explained YM. Many thanks.

Dear Hawkeye keep them coming, I'm now geared-up to tackle everything from Cunard to Crescent Shipping.

Thanks ES you are so kind.

25.09 is not a record as it took me a bit longer than that but I was distracted.

I agree about the JCB on a barge but beggars cannot be choosers these days so here are a couple of a proper dredger for you from the 1960s.
