Thanks again for coming down to visit the shop Chris, it was a pleasure to finally meet you and talk puzzles and magic. And thanks for the great video tour of the shop!
Would be cool if you would have your entire house done like that. You've got a week to figure out how to open the fridge in order to get food to survive. :)
There is such a delicate balance between "very very challenging but satisfying" puzzles and "needlessly hard/confusing/impossible" puzzles. Designing puzzles while not overstepping that line is an art in and of itself. Craig and his team are incredible craftsmen and artists who understand that delicate balance better than anyone else in the world! Incredible!
The rooooom. I downloaded the 1st “the room” game shortly after it came out, and it is solely what has gotten me into things like puzzle boxes and escape rooms.
I know I'm 2 years late lol but I couldn't agree more!! I have played all of The Room games except the VR PS4 version.... Now I think I have played every game in the Google play store that is similar to it... Sad... I need more!!
200 steps!! Oh man. I would love a desk like that. Keep priceless items inside that you pass down the desk to your kids and then down to there kids and so forth... really cool. Talk about craftsmanship. Could see it in your eyes Chris.....you’re getting him to make a desk for you right? You can’t help it...it’s going to happen lol
It's pretty awesome to see how you were acting while in this amazing puzzle building shop. I felt like I was watching a kid at Walt Disney World for the first time you can honestly tell that you are in love with puzzles and magic in general. I am so glad you are one of the most prolific if not the best puzzle solver or reviewer on TH-cam cuz you are so darn entertaining and you're such a nice guy.
Chris: "I want my house to be like this" > random stranger "can I visit you?" Chris: "sure, GL finding and opening the front door, you dont need a key"
This is the coolest warehouse ever! Can you imagine having furniture that’s tricked out like this throughout a person’s home? No burglar would find anything
Craig, that puzzle bureau is awesome, I used to make single puzzle miniature in the guise of pagodas and I made my son's bed with a few hidden compartments and crawl ways. I look at your work and you are levels ahead. I am a Mechanical Engineer in the power transmission sector. We make large and small gearboxes and pumps as well as precision gears, so I can really appreciate your mechanisms. Chris, we all love your work and your dedication to entertain us, hopefully one day you'll get the chance to solve the beautiful desk puzzle.
As a long time woodworker, that Puzzle Desk is totally freaking insane & off the charts amazing! Thanks for the tour Chris & I also can't wait to see it when he gets it done. To bad that we won't get to see how to solve the Puzzle part of it...............
The desk already is a work of art and it’s not even completed! Whoever gets this puzzle is one lucky person! This is the type of furniture that will become an heirloom. I would make it so you can only earn the desk if you can solve it!
Duude, this is crazy! I couldn't help but to smile almost through the entire video just thinking about how cool it is and how amazing it will be when it's finished. Really awesome job from them
Got my V3 playing cards in the post yesterday and omg I LOVE THEM!! Absolutely beautiful design and soooo smooth to use. Will keep for collectors obviously because it’s precious so I thank you so much for these Chris! ❤️
Stuff like this is just cool and priceless. I wish I got into wood working. Where I made more than just a wooden lamp in elementary woodshop class, or the gun rack in highschool. Absolutely cool puzzles here man.
OMG I LOVE THE ROOM! I have all four games, solved but I replay them. I got all the alternate endings too. I love puzzle boxes. The desk in the seance scene is a joy, also the other one in the dollhouse.
Aaaahhhh, you’ve already discovered the game “The Room.” 💜 Being a fan of that, and I chanced upon your channel, my wish came true! I was wishing I could see stuff like in The Room, in real life! :)
I like how Chris brings up "The Room" within the first 3 minutes and that's where my head went when i was the intro. Amazing game/series played each multiple times and its awesome to see that someone is bringing something similar to what you would find in the game to reality, even if the designer hasn't played.
As I've been watching your puzzle videos I pass this one often (dk why I haven't watched it yet) and always think it's a piano. Amazing beautiful piece!
You better get yourself a desk like this to solve this is truly a magnificent masterpiece! I am bad at puzzles but I love watching you solve them and this one, even if it would be a video of 2+ hours, is something I would watch entirely.
I started turning pens and bowls on a wood lathe, back in April. I like watching you solve puzzles, but I really like this behind the scenes video. I hope to see you do more like this.
I like this puzzle very much... I also like my "1st" cards which were delivered this morning, now safely locked in my puzzle box... Greeting from the UK @Chris Ramsey
I cannot find the right word to describe that's unique piece of furniture, maybe the eighth wonder of the world, Leonard Da Vinci will be proud of you.
I can't believe it!!!! I had a dream about this desk. A cross between that national treasure desk, goonies, with a 200 sun Japanese puzzle box! I wish I had the money to have something like this.
This is what remains of Edith Finch, the room, an ancient alien supercomputer, and a reverse escape room all in one, and if you're still alive 20 years in the future, I'm buying a piece of furniture from you.
Love it, i think this was a great move on your part chris. We all want to see this shit. Ive been watching you for about 6 months and im hooked. Keep it the Magik
Thanks for this video Chris ! I’m one of those who want to make woodworking my magic world 😊 (I am also happy to see that you can nail the art of woodworking AND keep all your fingers)
My guess is it's for Nic Cage. It's right on his level..... and it keeps him sharp for National Treasure 3. Immense desk! Great video again Chris. I'm sure James Coffee Co Will be getting some new customers!!!
materialclassified * there is a book about a house that gets bigger It’s called house of leaves Haven’t read it because it’s too expensive to buy in brazil but it seems to be an interesting book
Ive been thinking someone needed to make the stuff from "The Room 1-3" but in real life, and when i saw this my reaction was literally "holy shit they did it" and then you mentioned "The Room" I knew you read my mind!
@@fyne.living Yeah this sounds closer. Since this guy is a master craftsman then he probably makes like $100,000 a year. Half of that is $50k, but you can assume he also accounted for unexpected costs, delays, setbacks, taxes, materials, etc, so my guess is this desk is probably worth about $70k - $100k
The actual attention to detail here is just other worldly... currently eyeing up my dad's ships captain's desk and seeing if I can make it into a puzzle desk. 😄
hey chris, 4 things, 1: are you planning on doing more deck reviews? 2: how did you get so epic? 3: who is your main inspiration for magic? and 4: could you make a playlist for all the music you use?

@@manny3655 Abraham was David's father. Abraham taught David how to make cabinets as the family business, but David was the one who put the mechanisms in.
That is pretty insane, I probably go crazy trying to figure everything out and get agitated but it looks so awesome pretty cool, looks like a lot of hard work goes into these epic puzzles
Chris, found your channel recently. Liked and subscribed. I noticed in one video you were at Pilot Coffee Roasters (one of the coffees I drink often served at a shop near me in San Diego). Then I noticed in this video you had a James Coffee shirt from San Diego (another shop I frequent). If you're ever in the area again let me know and I'll show you some other great coffee we have here!
Thanks again for coming down to visit the shop Chris, it was a pleasure to finally meet you and talk puzzles and magic. And thanks for the great video tour of the shop!
That desk is amazing!! Nice work man, seriously! Wow. So cool.
Danny Dunwell 😂😂😂
Craig Thibodeau amazing work man!
Would you ever consider building an entire house into a puzzle with secret corridors and stuff?
SwiftyStickGamer that’d be insane
I'm surprised Chris didn't try to spin that desk.
😂
I thought that was MrPuzzle that did that as a first resort!
Psssh haha I just pictured that and it was upside down.
Lol
Or bang it on his table.

Have you played that game The Room?
@@TheDobstopper I played 1-3, I never finished 3 though I don't think.
how long before its full on national treasure type shit? puzzles that span across the whole country, then the whole globe.
That's what I thought. Probably take 25 years to build and 30 mil for an 1800 square ft house.

I feel like this should be for Nicholas Cage, because of the presidents desk in National Treasure
Ready.Set. Cre8 Nick Cage is broke he would owe triple after purchasing this desk
"I want my house to be like this"
So THAT'S why there's so many puzzles in Resident Evil houses. It all makes sense now.

Chris: Seriously considering how much everything he owns could be liquidated to afford it.
300 years later on antiques roadshow: "300 years ago, a man named chris ramsey in the early 2000s was obsessed with puzzles..."
It’s for Nic Cage. Gotta be.
If it is then I hope he doesn't watch this channel.
Why you say that?
@@shable1436 National treasure 😆 the movies
Unless his financial situation has changed think he may have to stick to IKEA
Johnny Depp.

Pls try to rotate and slam it to open it:)
I can picture him trying to pick up the desk to wack it against his hand 😂
Well a Russian cosmonaut used a similar approach to get something to work in the movie Armageddon.
Chris: "I want my house to be like this" > random stranger "can I visit you?" Chris: "sure, GL finding and opening the front door, you dont need a key"
Level of craftsmanship is unreal. Next desk piece should be a roll top of some kind.

You're right, they will only find all of this expensive mastercraft furniture

Meantime I'm working on the 2nd strap of Velcro on my tennis shoes....lol
"I want my house like this."
There you go Chris, that is how you will top it. A puzzle house.
-Hey where's the bathroom?
-Well about that... you better get working.
Your brain is fried for eternity
the question is how do you get inside?
@@anonymoustissue Spin it, obviously.
That guy in grey hates the camera lmao i laughed when he tried to move away

Oh my... this is BEAUTIFUL. Man talk about craftsmanship. In my dream house this desk would have the perfect spot. Owning this desk =Life goals 🙌🏻😍🤩🤩
It always makes me happy to hear people reference The Room
This is the first thing I thought of when I saw this. Those games were brilliantly crafted as well.
What? So this desk is for Tommy Wiseau! Lol 😉
"Maybe he'll invite me over one day?"
"Oh he's ---JUMPCUT---"
Said something he shouldn't, I see!
Yeah thought that too
HE USED KING CRIMSON!
To come up with complex puzzles like this this dude is absolutely brilliant. That desk is going to be awesome.
The desk is pretty amazing now as is, can’t wait to see it when it’s finished, it’s going to be magnificent....
I am absolutely in awe of this. i am lost for words. wow. thanks Chris for sharing this to TH-cam.
Got my V3 playing cards in the post yesterday and omg I LOVE THEM!! Absolutely beautiful design and soooo smooth to use. Will keep for collectors obviously because it’s precious so I thank you so much for these Chris! ❤️
I need this is my life yesterday.
I've seen this guy's channel before and I would dedicate a room to such a large cabinet; amazing craftsmanship.
The Room series and The House of Da Vinci series are the best games I’ve ever played honestly
Man I've been telling my dad to do something like this for years, he builds cedar strip boats and furniture.
Stuff like this is just cool and priceless. I wish I got into wood working. Where I made more than just a wooden lamp in elementary woodshop class, or the gun rack in highschool. Absolutely cool puzzles here man.
That is some SERIOUSLY GOOD workmanship. Brilliant stuff guys
OMG I LOVE THE ROOM! I have all four games, solved but I replay them. I got all the alternate endings too. I love puzzle boxes. The desk in the seance scene is a joy, also the other one in the dollhouse.
