The best part was actually your wife having an absolute BLAST solving this puzzle! She enjoyed it so much, it made me very happy and surely it had made you very happy as well! Fantastic work, Brandon!
It becomes clear which bits go where and how the puzzle works for me sometime before the actual solving (around the cutting into the bars of the prison). But I was only really sure I understood the concept once it was being solved still which until reading @InheritanceMachining's comment I though the editing and order of operations was deliberately done to hint without really revealing the trick in play, with lots more focus on explaining the cunning machining for that spring - and rightly so really.
I'm a game designer as my day job. Your wife's reactions to solving each step of the puzzle, the time between each new discovery and step forward, the total time to solve, and how obviously clear the goal was... You hit the gold standard for ALL of the critical points of game progression. She seemed to be in a state of flow from start to finish. This is _an unbelievably difficult_ thing to do well. There are entire books and phd theses written on this. This cannot possibly be your first puzzle design! I know I've watched all your previous videos, but I'm honestly in complete disbelief of how masterful the design of that puzzle was. (And I've watched a LOT of puzzle solving videos)
I loved the moment of her complaining about there being "no indication that you're on the right track" followed by, ten seconds later, unscrewing the other end of the puzzle
Also a game designer. "What is think is going to be the tricky part is not for someone who is completely unfamiliar with what I've made" made me scroll down to write a comment about how this tickles me professionally. But then I saw your comment, exact same thoughts.

He probably went through 3 years too And work experience of like 10-20 years on top Hes up there at the mountain Go take a hike Maybe you'll catch him one day 😊
Not everything in engineering is about design. There are so many facets to engineering. Through time / work, you find what you like best and grow in all of the ones that you focus on. Plus, what isn't shown is the 3 weeks of full time work it took to do all of this and the continued mistakes along the way.
At the part when she says "you do such nice work" im like aww thats the highlight of the video. but then it gets even more wholesome. well done both of yous
Nice design. I love the fact that Ms. Inheritance Machining never shows her face. Reminds me of old school Tom & Jerry cartoons where the humans were never shown above the hips.
I agree with everyone, your wife's reaction while doing the puzzle was great. Side note - that spring detent was really nice work. I added a new machining tool to my mental kit with that build.
Youre out here doing a service to humanity, manual machining is slowly turning into what modern day blacksmithing is, you inspire me as a 19 year old to make it one of my life goals to have a machine shop
Just yesterday I had an ephiphany (light)... Me and a few of my friends were wrenching on an old snowmobile and it was missing a quite odd tensioner bolt in metric, so I just.. made one. Welded it up with the correct bolt head, chucked it in the lathe and turned it to spec. Even made a finishing pass on the head for no reason really. And I thought of this channel which was a big part of getting me into machining and easing the intimidating parts of getting started. I mean, looking back on where you started and where I am now, nothing feels impossible just more or less difficult.I still have shit for gear and a lot to learn, but hey, I can make "simple" things in a pinch in just a few minutes. So thanks, thanks a lot for all your videos! They are inspiring and made a real difference in my everyday life! Merry christmas and happy new year!
found this channel just a few weeks ago, went back and watched over half of the past videos. couldnt be more excited for a new upload. easily the best channel i found this year
I did this when I found the channel. Spent a week or three worth of free time catching up on all his videos. Though I have to admit I did watch the over engineered soft jaws video without recognizing I'd like the rest. I'm not sure what video inspired me to go to the beginning and binge everything in order, as well as subscribing.
"What I think is gonna be the tricky part, is not for someone who's completely unfamiliar with what I've made. But now that I'm watching someone go through it I'm like oooh, yeah." I love this. This is the eternal feeling of watching play-testers work through games/puzzles/anything. Always fascinating, always humbling.
Your relationship is just so kick ass like her excitement and pride every time she sees the work you do even when its ultimately kinda pointless fun like good god its just adorable
Awesome! The best part of the video was the end. I really enjoyed that. It is like when I cook something good. It is not about just what ends up at the plate, it is equally about the person sitting behind the table.
Im kinda disappointed you didn't make the ball. Despite that great build and excellent video. I stumbled across your second ever video a way back when you only had 4 or so released and thought to myself wow this guy is good, if he keeps this up his channel is going to get massive. Its been such a pleasure to see all the projects and progression this channel has been through so thanks for offering us the opportunity to come along the journey with each video.
In all honesty, the best thing about this video is her genuine exitement when she solves the puzzle and how proud of you she is :) Great video as always and happy holidays!
Machining a thin part using a plug? I'm stealing that. We just got my late Grandfather's 40 year old lathe out of his basement, and I'm hoping to get some use out of it soon. I'm in a similar boat to Brandon a few years ago.
Jigs and fixtures are the art of machining. Look into woodworking jigs and fixtures. Lots of examples there too. Bracing, sacrificial stock, and temporary adhesives are pretty common.
My grandfather was a tool maker machinist. Among other things I inherited from him was a puzzle, a log in a cage. Yours makes me smile thinking of his.
My newphew asked me if he could have some V-blocks for christmas because he needed them for a videogame called Fortnights. I am still unable to understand...
i am doing my engineering degree with focus on environment right now. Even tough i will probably never need to know anything about machining, i still come back to every video from you. It's something that you do, that not every youtuber can. When watching your videos, i feel like learning something while still being entertained. Once again: Very good video, very nice design. Thank you for doing, what you are doing. I hope you and your family had great holidays
Came for the machining and humor stayed for the love. This video fed my brain and warmed my heart. You and your wife have my favorite relationship on RUclips.
As a CNC guy, I had so so so much I thought I needed to say... then I saw her solve the puzzle and my picayune comments just melted into nothingness in the presence of her joy at solving the puzzle. Thank you for making my day better.
Wha t a great design and build video. The highlight was your wife's reaction and enjoyment, puzzles should be a little frustrating yet enjoyable, and you nailed it with this one. I bet the tactile element of a heavy chunky machined metal puzzle adds to the enjoyment.
Coming from a fellow Kentucky machinist, I applaud your engineering, creativity, and stubbornness to detail. I hope the future continues to hold success to your channel. Been watching from the beginning . Way to go!
I love how excited your wife gets when she figures something out and then solves it. I jumped several times while watching and anticipating her screams of discovery lol. Well done!
the end made me, just like many others, happy proud and warm congrats not only on your content creation, but on being happy you're an artistic inspiration as much as you're a personal inspiration all love to you, my guy!
Is anyone else getting insanely excited at how intricate that first piece was?! That was amazing!!! Can't wait to see what mind blowing things you come up with. May end up needing to get a jewlers or watch makers lathe to support some of the smaller complex parts? Great video! 10/10
This old Tony has been taking care of their hands. Plus their voice is higher than I remembered. Was awesome to see a puzzle being made. Didn't work quite the way I expected, which is excellent! Happy New Year to you and yours.
The fact that Paige so casually throws out comments like "two parting lines" and other terms of your trade… pretty damn awesome lol. "Well NOW the fu@# what?!" 🤣 You two are such badasses. Thanks for another cool build!
Your content is consistently a joy to watch. Informative and entertaining. Your machining and engineering skills are honed, not to mention the overall quality of your video editing. (I'm not sure if that's your process or if you hand that off to someone else, but the final video is always well done.) Your Grandfather would be proud. I appreciate your content. Now you should send off your finished product to Mr. Puzzle! God Bless, JB
I can just about stuff things into my lathe and do aggravating things to them without breaking all of the tooling. Apart from not being able to design anything this complicated, there simply wouldn't be enough time before the universe freezes over to actually make anything like this. Impressed!
Idea for future Brandon: feature viewers who in fact make this puzzle on their own. Foci may include their own machining process, or maybe just fast forward to them trying it out on their own family and friends. Or both, like you did. Was your brother jealous of Paige's success? Another idea, tackle a gob of your future Brandon clean-ups around the shop, which I'm sure will inspire all kinds of side projects, discoveries, and overall mid-winter cleaning.
The humor in these vids are top notch. Im now going to make the parting line disapear *parting still clearly vissible* im going to make the parting line.... Almost disapear😂 awesome lookin puzzle. Went the full mile using heat treated parts very cool keep up this amazing work💪
Hey, this was such a cool project. I can only begin to imagine the thought that went into this that we all missed. It's awesome to have something you can share with friends and family's and watch them work out the countless hours you put into it. Happy new year
While watching the starting steps, I guessed the pins would be like a key .. turn, lift, turn, etc .. and those stepped recesses you milled look like thats whats happening, but I have no clue how! Beautiful puzzle! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Amazing puzzle, and love your wife’s reaction. Your videos make me feel good, happy and inspired to be creative. Your relationship to your partner is also sweet to witness
It shows on camera that not only is she your wife but also your best friend that is so cool that you found someone like that. Not to mention your finished parts are very clean and shiny, impressive.
Your videos are ALWAYS informative & entertaining, full stop. This one though, a masterclass in giggles and glee!!! I laughed so hard at "Well now the F^&# What?!" and her sheer joy at the solve is why I even internet in the first place!!! Well done indeed!!
Just designed and 3d printed my second puzzle box - 3d printing has allowed for some helpful quick iteration to work out the mechanism engineering to make sure the solve works the way you intend it to - maybe I will send my next design to you to make 🙂
6:29 *builds heat-treatment oven* IMMEDIATELY REFUSES TO USE IT AND USES TORCH TO BRING PART TO RED-HOT TEMPERATURE *uses oven for tempering to achieve maximum confusion* *refuses to elaborate* No, great video as always, I sometimes wish, I would have a complete machine shop...
Your wife having fun doing the puzzle bitterly made my day really made me wanna design my own puzzle for my wife to try ... your wife is so proud of you 👏 and it shows
6:27 WHAT HAPPENED TO THE Heat Treat Oven???!!!?!?! OH wait. So just chanced it to evenly heat with the torch for initial harden then use the over for temper?
it would take a long time to preheat the oven for such a small piece, heating it with the torch takes just a couple minutes, the oven is useful for pieces with a lot more thermal mass that need a controlled temperature and even heat
Love seeing the curls from a sharp drill bit. Haa, Disappear..Almost disappear. Loved it. Ya know, I see you pointing to some problems but honestly, I don't see them. Thanks for those little details. I really love seeing the chips fly and ideas at work. Outside the box. A lot of things to comment on. OK, Time for the reveal. Holy Cow man. Great job on that. Thank you.

We just got my late Grandfather's 40 year old lathe out of his basement, and I'm hoping to get some use out of it soon. I'm in a similar boat to Brandon a few years ago.
Something I've seen done, but never actually done myself, is gluing or taping an extremely thin part to a thicker backplate for machining.
Jigs and fixtures are the art of machining.
Look into woodworking jigs and fixtures. Lots of examples there too. Bracing, sacrificial stock, and temporary adhesives are pretty common.
My grandfather was a tool maker machinist. Among other things I inherited from him was a puzzle, a log in a cage. Yours makes me smile thinking of his.
It’s not just about the difficulty, but the enjoyment of solving. Beautiful work!
Exactly! ♥
My newphew asked me if he could have some V-blocks for christmas because he needed them for a videogame called Fortnights. I am still unable to understand...
Well
If it starts a passion
Gifting the right kind of tools is the best
Hope he got his machining Vs😂😂😂

I love this so much omg, and you and your wife are brilliant as per usual
Just designed and 3d printed my second puzzle box - 3d printing has allowed for some helpful quick iteration to work out the mechanism engineering to make sure the solve works the way you intend it to - maybe I will send my next design to you to make 🙂
6:29 *builds heat-treatment oven* IMMEDIATELY REFUSES TO USE IT AND USES TORCH TO BRING PART TO RED-HOT TEMPERATURE *uses oven for tempering to achieve maximum confusion* *refuses to elaborate*
No, great video as always, I sometimes wish, I would have a complete machine shop...
Absolutely love your channel. Happy new year to both you and your wife.
This is wonderful. If I had any access to machining equipment, I’d probably try making one, but I’ll have to take satisfaction with your video.
Your wife having fun doing the puzzle bitterly made my day really made me wanna design my own puzzle for my wife to try ... your wife is so proud of you 👏 and it shows
6:27 WHAT HAPPENED TO THE Heat Treat Oven???!!!?!?!
OH wait.
So just chanced it to evenly heat with the torch for initial harden then use the over for temper?
I think so too
it would take a long time to preheat the oven for such a small piece, heating it with the torch takes just a couple minutes, the oven is useful for pieces with a lot more thermal mass that need a controlled temperature and even heat
Love seeing the curls from a sharp drill bit. Haa, Disappear..Almost disappear. Loved it. Ya know, I see you pointing to some problems but honestly, I don't see them. Thanks for those little details. I really love seeing the chips fly and ideas at work. Outside the box. A lot of things to comment on. OK, Time for the reveal. Holy Cow man. Great job on that. Thank you.
“It should be difficult but not because I designed it poorly” that sounds like the perfect attitude for making a lock and key ;)
