Pushing LEGO wedge plates to their limit
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 дек 2022
- This is a similar theme to a few of my past builds, but taken to new level with A-shaped LEGO wedge plates. As the outtakes at the end showed, it was challenging getting that final connection without making the build longer. But the longer this type of build, the more 'play' it has within it, and the less satisfying I find it. I'm always striving for the stress limit a given build can take while still being solid and stable.
All that being said, you can bet this won't be the last helical torus I create--and I definitely want to go bigger. 😁
I should also note the special guest appearance of my A-Shaped Wedge Wheel toward the end. I just had to see how these two builds looked together. You can see the video for that build here: • The insanity of LEGO w...

Now I know why I've never seen one of those A shaped wedge pieces before... He has them all.
True
Because he bought them all

I love how during the video, i tell my self "wow, that's a lot. Oh, he's doubling it?" Like 5 times, making me more shocked each double
HAHA I HAD THE SAME REACTION!!!
I watch his videos somewhat frequently and I’m still shocked whenever he does that. (Often lol)
Evwrytime I was like: "How the actual fuck does he have so many pieces? This are so many. He can't double it again." And then he doubled it again. And again. And again.
"but wait, there's more"
Every 5 seconds: :0
5:24 the amount of relief i felt was unreal
Fr I was in so much pain before that
Yes, that final press was so satisfying in my mind 😂
You must've used "OVER 9000!" Lego pieces! 😅
this
Oh, so I'm not the only one who noticed that.
I love that, just when you think there can't possibly be more parts, he just doubles the amount.
Exactly
Honestly, the most impressive part of all these videos is just having so many pieces in the same color
Soo true
Direct order from the Factory 😁😆
I agree
I don't think using anything other than brand new bricks that have the tightest most secure fit would successfully stay together for many of this persons builds
This one in particular looks to be under a good amount of stress over the entire structure, I'm pretty sure it would fall apart if you used those pink bricks that your cousins toddler chewed on last year 😅
@@michaelkramer9014 I have neither
When he made the circle at the end and there was that one piece in the center of the frame that was not fully connected, I was anxiously waiting for him to fix it, but then he did and it was so satisfying.
When I miss those it really is tragic 😂
Thank you for speaking up on behalf of others😭
I needed it so bad hahaha.
In case someone wondering.... 5:24
Sometimes I hate to read comments, but here… in this thread…I found a home.
That final form is so satisfying but also makes me slightly anxious knowing the painstaking repetition to get there.
This is an interesting example of emergent properties. How repeating the same quantitative change resulted in more and more qualitative capabilities of the object at hand.
watching this baked af and each time you doubled it i was like "he can't keep getting away with it" and then each time you doubled it again. it was like a gag from an 80s movie or something and it had me in tears. thank you for such great entertainment
humor at its finest
I'm sober and it's equally as funny
Beautifully written comment
I thought it was a computer animation at first
Had the same experience. "SURELY he doesn't have any mo- OOOOOOOOOOOOO"
*5:24* Perfect therapy for maniacs ✨
the fact that i thought this video was super old, like made in 2011 just demonstrates how great this video is
I sort of half expect an interdimensional portal to open when I watch these.
I keep trying.
@@BrickBending we appreciate the effort
@@BrickBending It'll work eventually
@@BrickBending did you try square portals
I kinda expected the whole ring to explode into pieces when he started to poke it
in the beginning I was like "how does he have so many of these?", then he doubled it...then doubled it again
It's the origami tutorials all over again :/
Ypu k ow i had to double it
…and then doubled it again
There are literally specialised shops with sorted out pieces - _-
Someone kept doubling it and giving it to the next person until it reached him.
You know what i like most in these kind of videos? You have 1st piece, connect it to 2nd piece, then you bring 1st+2nd piece conected and connect tit, then you bring 1+2+1+2 and connect it. It's just never ending spiral and i love it!
You keep thinking “now there’s no way he’s gonna bring in another similarly-sized piece” but I’ll be darned if he doesn’t
it's really impressive how you seem to have an infinitely sized desk lol
it’s called a floor
@@5XOCYD infinitely sized floor
@@Pinglen infinite floor +1
the trick is a large curved piece of paper and good lighting i think
you can see it by the shadow cast by the lego construction@@lucas29476
This is like playing 2048, but you have to manually craft every "2" block. A few more and you can build a lego particle accelerator! Massive respect
Loved 2048 😁
Threes is better, and also the original idea that got copied
@@etiennechaplais1764 Threes is fundamentally different because they only move one space at a time instead of all the way
Fr💀
2:07 bro got the jump coil 💀
I really wanted to see through the middle and then you finally showed it and even did the trippy thing with the light. Nice. Good video
I love that there's 10 full seconds of various jiggling of the structure 😂
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ I'm gonna jiggle my structure to Christ. Amen, love Jesus. Dude's a stud

i felt that physically
I love how there’s always that moment of “ok so what Tom foolery is he gonna do with this thing now” and it always ends with “but wait! I still have another half to attach!”
but wait! there’s more! infomercial style 😂
@@anxietyisms this, isn’t wrong
Apparently this comment got 556 likes, glorious
This is straight up mesmerizing
Lego : So how many wedge plates do you need?
This Guy : All of them
No literally...ALL of them.
@@BrickBending In-store, locally? Do they love you or hate you?
1536 wedge pieces and 1152, 2x1 pieces is what i counted
@@kathybramley5609 love is for the money, hate is for the fact they now need to restock so other people can buy them to XD
@@dylancroon96 Are you the Rain Man?
Unexpected ASMR. It’s always a treat. Thanks ✌️
My favorite part aside from seeing the end product, is always seeing double appear from off camera. It just keeps growing
Yeah
@@MatthewConnellan-xc3ojdo wanna see a magic trick?
Your editing style matches the page breakdown of a typical lego instruction manual. I just want to say it doesn't go unnoticed and it is appreciated.
Tysm for pushing those pieces together near the end 😭
This was super cool to watch
5:24 that press warms my whole body
it caused me great frustration thinking it wouldnt happen
The light tunnel!! Thank you for playing with the lighting inside the.. log? It looked awesome. Add in a couple more and it would have looked like a ride tunnel! So cool.
This one surprised me at just how amazing that light looked. A little extra magic 😊
I would qualify the shape at that point as "a spring".
And absolutely the light was fun.
Curly fry
@@Fruckert Forbidden curly-cut gummy worm.
@@Mac_Omegaly I think at the end it turned into a toroid
Oh phew...that last little snap into place was what I needed. I was getting anxious with that spot not finished.
Fractals. I could’ve watched this expand forever.
I really like the part where the person puts the legos together to form a structure, then zooms out to reveal another identical structure which then merges to become one. I've found my new object of worship, because nothing is larger than this thing.
Ive never seen a piece like that but i guess its because this guy owns all of them.
Incredibly satisfying
Omg, this is so satisfying
4:17 The sound of Legos screaming in pain
by my estimate, the last shot of this video (5:32) has ~$100 worth of light blue wedge plates, about $110 worth of bricks, going off bricklink prices. honestly a lot less than i expected
I expected it to be 500-1000.
The bottom ring should be 1536 individual a pieces. Not sure about the other one
This really is one of the Lego builds ever made
The patience is the most impressive part to me, but the ingenuity and creativity are still incredibly impressive as well
Omg the way they keep multiplying i was just like “IF THEY PULL OUT ANOTHER ON IM GONNA-“ and then they did and it was mind blowing 😌
You're one of those people aren't you. 🤨🥶
OMG I AGREE
@@neonice what does that even mean
@@notchpoodles5864 pfft, yeah, this comment was from a while ago too, lol.
Lmao same
I love the outtakes in the last few seconds. It gives you some appreciation of the considerable effort, frustration, and production value of what you've just witnessed. BB makes it look effortless, the reality is that there's ALOT of effort behind this kind of thing.
It would have been easier to curve into a circle with another doubling. But it also would have gotten extremely unwieldy.
Made my day. Bravo.
He just keeps on going...
*MASSIVE* respect
double it and give it to the next person.
I love how he goes from one or two pieces, to a 3 foot long combination of lego pieces each time there's a cut
Ok, you really got me with this one. I recognized the hinges you were creating there, so the flipping was no surprise, but that giant snake was not something I was expecting. Great work as usual.
Also looks like you could do with another set of arms for bending it into the torus at the end. 😄
one day ago????
@@JT-nk3shikr 😂
@@JT-nk3sh The perks of being a Patreon backer, early access 😎
I have an unwritten rule that I have to be able to put the build together unassisted, but I may give that up one day. This one really pushed my skills to their limits, but it's definitely worth of existing even if I needed those extra arms. : )
Ok, that was pretty darn impressive!! 👏
excellent cinematography captivating experience
Imagine the pain this man must endure walking around his home...
"this is a shoes ON household"
He probably has lego shoes don't worry
XD
His feet are probably as hard as a diamond 💀
4:46 - “Tony Stark built this in a cave!… with a box of Legos!”
Rolling that is probably the most satisfying thing ever.
WHY IS IT LIKE THAT this is so satisfying
One of my favourite shots was looking through the spiral itself. I was just waiting to see that and it was just as magical as I had imagined. Though I can't even imagine how long the final spiral would be if you unrolled it.
~9m or 30ft : )
that moment where he made it big then doubled it again made me discover a new emotion
this is my most liked comment, why?
People related.
@@zarnold1995 o h
Fr
this guy's creativity goes beyond
The way he is adding more and more bricks is just awesome
This build has 1536 wedge pieces, I really wonder how long does this builds take
With some good music playing in the background--a couple of hours, once I have the pattern locked down.
That seems to be way less than I expected. Thanks for the math.
@@BrickBending I am going to guess classical music? :)
1456
and 672 for the circle on top
Okay, I expect a lot of craziness from this channel, but that was sorcery 🤣
Totally!!
So many of a piece I had never even seen till now
I'm having such a bad morning and seeing these wedges being pushed past their limit just like me made me feel at peace.
The part where he connected it into a torus has me literally in tears 😭
2:54 This is about where I went "oh my God, he's going to make a circle, isn't he?"
I just love the fact you had all the further connection parts lined up ready to go or it just appeared that way.
Truly transcendental
2:19 man created the gravity coli 😮
i was searching for a comment like this
3:20 bro built a working Lego spring
This did not disappoint
The torus! I was waiting for it, wondering if you would.
You did not disappoint!
My jaw literally dropped for the first time in a good while when you successfully completed the loop! Incredible creativity and intuition, mate!
4:55 there is a single unclicked wedge front and center and it is driving me insane
Oh my god you fixed it you’re my hero
Hypnotic video 😁
Wow I've never heard of that type of lego piece but I wish I had some of those
When he started to bend them into a circle I was already so mind blown away that my mind actually started to unblown. I don’t even know what that means.
your videos make me feel a strong sense of anxiety yet i am always hungry for more. especially at the point where you made a donut out of this helix build. i even felt my heartbeat after that
@Choas_Lord_512 wiki: Anxiety is an emotion which is characterized by an unpleasant state of inner turmoil and includes feelings of dread over anticipated events.
1st google link: Common anxiety signs and symptoms include:
Feeling nervous, restless or tense
Having a sense of impending danger, panic or doom
Having an increased heart rate
Breathing rapidly (hyperventilation)
Sweating
Trembling
Feeling weak or tired
Trouble concentrating or thinking about anything other than the present worry
Having trouble sleeping
Experiencing gastrointestinal (GI) problems
Having difficulty controlling worry
Having the urge to avoid things that trigger anxiety
i have a mental disorder anxiety is almost a daily thing to me =DDD dumb 16yo wannabe edgy monkey thinks he will look cooler if he calls somebody pathetic at least do a quick google check before you say stupid shit like that or even better gtfo shithead
you blew my mind when you started rolling it
That's a nice way of edging LEGOs
4:00 Oh that’s cool. Wait… AHHHHH
This is the sort of stuff that drives minifigures insane
This displays so amazing how durable lego is.
A great documentary on the CERN collider construction. It is hard to believe that such an engineering masterpiece was crafted solely of lego.
Funny thing too is, this isn't illegal
EDIT: Until 4:23
Bruh
4:33 "now kiss!"
I've never seen an A shaped Lego until I saw this video (btw good job that looks awesome)
After seeing the light shine through it and the end result, it made me think how cool it would be to have a tube run through the center of the ring, a light circling through the structure
Amazing build! This is the type of construction that blows my mind while watching your videos. It must be more and more difficult to keep coming up with exceptional concepts, so thanks for all the hard work!
It's a dream come true to be able to escalate on these designs. I appreciate all the views and comments. It helps make them happen.
1:39 *W H A T*
Glad we’re on the same page
I’m so high and I can’t stop laughing at everytime he combines them he doubles it. It’s just too good, it just keeps getting better
this is the kind of stuff that belongs in art museums rather than a green circle on a blank canvas or something lol. using a medium like legos to make something that seems like it should be impossible to do with them is real art. this is really awesome content and i can't stop watching these
hey man if the green circle on black canvas still has you thinking about it, then the art did it's job and you connected with it in some way.
When you built the first spiral I just knew you would make a tauros out of it, and Im so glad you delivered! This looks incredible
I'm always waiting for that satisfying moment when a few more massive sections slide into frame.
Wow,that's impressive.
Thats insane
i love how each cut doubles the size!!! so fun
3:42 HE DID IT AGAIN!!! I’m so thoroughly entertained
Oh my god he made a donut oh my god
im so glad to have witnessed the entire world's supply of lego wedge plates (a part i never knew existed) in one place.
Half-expected to see a working model of the collider at the end.
I must say this is pretty cool, especially how you connected them at the end. Absolutely awesome!
Only 2:30 in and I'm already impressed. You made a fucking SLINKY out of LEGO.
this is the best video ever
At this point I'm convinced LEGO is now making new pieces just for this channel.
