It's too bad that the big one wouldn't cooperate, but you could see it coming when the half ring already started to collapse under its own weight. Still looks very impressive, good work.
@@BrickBendingmaybe you can try using zip ties on the inside as reinforcement. Leave a small hole on the outside so you can pull and tighten the zip ties and cover it afterwards. Or maybe an elastic solution.
@Absolutely_puck_fakestine This could be a metaphor for a situation where something is held together precariously by a thin layer of support. For example, a project or idea that is structurally unsound but is being propped up by temporary solutions.
I love that you share both the successes and the failures. It’s encouraging to see that even the great artists have to keep trying. Thanks for sharing your amazing work!
I go to a lot of modern art museums and I could 100% see that piece at the end sitting in a museum. It's a gorgeous form combined with Kusama-like patterns and colors. I love it. (Also cool wheel.)
This is it. We've finally hit a build so illegal that the bricks themselves reject it. I think those "half" connections here were probably the thing that caused this to fail. This sort of design with bricks connected only partially at an angle is already a lot more unstable compared to ones where they're flush but twist slightly in order to create a structure that bends. Here there's so many bricks that aren't connected with the ones underneath that it just adds a ton of weight without contributing to stability at all
Imagine being a lego minifig who has only seen right angled bricked (maybe curved things to hold or some rarer curved parts) and then you stumble upon these yellow monoliths in some far corner of the world. They are not made of curved parts, in fact they are made of perfectly mundane bricks, yet when observed as a whole they break what you thought were fundamental rules of the world. Good video!
You really have pushed LEGO rings to their limit. I really enjoy your building techniques and your videos. You have great patience to work with incomplete connections. I also appreciate your creativity as well, you improvised and used the pieces of the creature to create artistic sculptures.
I ride in the back of a recycle truck for a living knowing that every day something could go wrong and it could be fatal. Yet I watch this video and my anxiety is through the roof.
Aww, was really rooting for that to work. The anticipation of watching you try to find a way to make it work was really something, though, and I really like those wiggly statues at the end as well.
It was sad what happened to the big ring, but the fact you somehow even made that monster, and EVEN THOUGH IT FELL APART you still made something equally impressive with those illegal towers shocked me, subscribed
I like how the cracks in the arch/wheel represent how actual stone masonry behaves. You could create a bigger arch and put some heavy things on the sides so you counteract the forces trying to separate the base and you could make a bigger, wider and slimmer arch that doesnt crack just by keeping the bases in place through mass (or a tensor)
The big wheel needed spokes to stay supported! Keeps the pressure off of the wheel itself. That should help keep it from breaking apart, theoretically.
That's amazing :o A quick calculation shows that there's around 4 600 1x12 yellow bricks in the big wheel... where do you even find this amount of bricks 😂
if you added a piece on the inside of the ring on every section that would let u connect a flat 1x2 u could maybe support the big one better? i dont know lego terms very well but it looks possible
My questions are... 1__how essential are the internal struts? 2__I can see that you tried to maximize the curvature to reduce the weight, but if the length between the inner & outer rings was longer, & using a height difference of only 1 plate, would this improve grip strength enough to offset the resulting larger circumference & greater weight?
I wonder... If you added more bricks to the larger build so it was more reinforced, would it be able to stay together when you stood the circle up, or would the extra weight just make it fall apart the same?
I wonder if there is something you could add to make something like spokes for the second wheel so it could have been possibly reinforced and not collapse under it weight.
First of all, your ASMR game is top notch. Secondly, I enjoy the Ctrl C, Ctrl V aspect of your videos. But seriously, how long does it take for a build like this? Do you have a crew who helps out?
I don't even want to think about the bricklink bill you get for your projects. Incredibly impressive, I wonder if the is a way to add more internal structure so the big would could work.
I was going to suggest a tourniquet, then you added the shrink wrap. Maybe if you used some heat guns on the shrink-wrap it would make the big one more stable.
Couldn't help but notice the quicker timing between the sliding in the next half of the pieces before combining them. Felt a bit off and almost rushed. Still good video though. I loved the look of the light shining through the larger one and the way the "cracks" looked when had it stood up.
Well spotted. I think my own personal tastes are changing as I make these videos, but the faster cadence was deliberate. Maybe I'll try a double release with the same video edited too different cadences. It would be interesting to see what people like more.
It's too bad that the big one wouldn't cooperate, but you could see it coming when the half ring already started to collapse under its own weight. Still looks very impressive, good work.
It leaves me with a quest for the largest ring that won't collapse under its own weight. Mission accepted... a few months from now 😂
I wonder if the orange ring had snuggly fit inside the yellow one, would that have provided at least some support?
@@BrickBendingmaybe you can try using zip ties on the inside as reinforcement. Leave a small hole on the outside so you can pull and tighten the zip ties and cover it afterwards. Or maybe an elastic solution.
Bro tried to build apple hq
@@BrickBendingwould it have helped it it had more support on the inside, as in using 4 or 5 ‘beams’ to hold each side together instead of just 2
The broken large wheel with the shrink wrap looked low-key metaphorical.
Of what ? What would it means ?

Laying on its side it looks like some minifigs are about to have gladiator fights in the middle.
Truth!
I pictured Nero from the Fate series saying "Praise my Golden Theater!"
or apple headquarters
I rlly gotta watch fate
I love that sigh when it starts coming apart again. 😄
I debate whether to keep some of those or not, but sometimes its just truth coming through. Love/hate

A sister build covered in polka dots would be amazing.
I want it to be bendier
I bet Lego have a Wanted list at their headquarters and you're at the top.
Disobeying illegal techniques is definitely not the only thing I’ve ever done with these. 😂
For some reason i thought your pfp was lego batman
Well I eat the pieces so
I can see the frustration, and it's such a good demonstration of how shape determines how well or not something will stand up.
low stability lego superstructures are as entertaining as they are mildly horrifying. love your videos.
Horrors beyond the scope of a mere minifigure
Bro keeps copy and pasting
He’s brick bending
Lmao
Shushers
The guy sells kits to make some of these structures. But he hasn't sold any of his copy paste magic. Greedy bastard
Forbidden geometry dash technique😂
I dont know hot to explain to my friends what kind of content I watch
Sometimes you just have to send them the link and let fate run its course.
Lego brick ASMR with illegal building techniques
One of the reasons I started making videos was because describing what I do just didn't work 😆
Just say you watch a lot of random stuff... Or say "I can't believe what was in my feed today!" Easy.
Lego asmr
He did it.
He finally found something Lego couldn’t handle.
This is it. We've finally hit a build so illegal that the bricks themselves reject it.

Good video!
I could only wish that I had the patience to build all of those segments to make the whole product.
In the store: how much yellow LEGO do you want?
BB: Yes.
The final builds looks like some modern buildings!
all of them really remind of buildings. the circle even looks like it has floors.
It reminds me of two other buildings…
I'm going to tell my kids this was Lego coliseum
I’m always so enamored by these videos, they’re all so weirdly calming and captivating. Great stuff 👍
"weirdly calm and captivating" --love that
Same here!

"Well that's not much. Hardly any stress at all."
*wobble*wobble*
"NM, carry on."
you know when a new brick bending video is coming out because the price of a single color of a random lego piece shoots up massively on bricklink 😂
Anything I can easily design on SolidWorks or Inventor this guy crafts with his hands. He has all my respect.
I ride in the back of a recycle truck for a living knowing that every day something could go wrong and it could be fatal. Yet I watch this video and my anxiety is through the roof.
The wavy line structure looks like a really nice art deco for a desk
4:50 mega macaroni
but we have yet to see the true macaroni build.
Those 1x6 pieces are impossible to pick apart once you snap them right on top of eachother💀
This is why Lego are so expensive, this guy owns them all.

Imagine if ancient roman architects saw someone just tear apart huge chunks of their colliseum and just had fun with them
1:35 all my vacation photos always look like this. It's the classic Me-At-The-Thing shot
For anyone else wondering: 4,608 lego pieces were used in the big wheel.
7:54 Now those would be some unique and breathtaking skyscrapers..
more breathtaking if you add a flying vehicle
Bro built the apple hq
I’m more surprised how one person can could get so much legos, I could barely get one set
The first wheel made me think of Pirates of the Caribbean
i adore the 'light through the spaces' shots you take
Good to see you again! Was worried there wouldn't be anymore videos
I like how with the first few pieces of the second build, you have to rock it a bit as if we're a bunch of flat earthers, asking where the curve was.
Aww, was really rooting for that to work. The anticipation of watching you try to find a way to make it work was really something, though, and I really like those wiggly statues at the end as well.
They need to make Lego blocks that are strong but flexible, specifically for making twisted structures like this
I flinched when it snapped.
The way you pause, like "oof" then keep on trucking
Bro really said "double it and give it to the next person"💀💀
Yeah !
With squared structures, you could make an helicoîd tower ^^
Amazing video
I hope no one ever stops you. This is illegal and I love it
Would have been cool to see the small one and big one next to each other to get an additionnal sense of scale !
Good call. Missed that opportunity this time around.
It was sad what happened to the big ring, but the fact you somehow even made that monster, and EVEN THOUGH IT FELL APART you still made something equally impressive with those illegal towers shocked me, subscribed

It's a small detail but it is so greatly appreciated that you wear fabric gloves in particular
Building that wheel must have been the most soul crushingly monotonous and boring thin a human hat ever endured.
“Honey why are the police here?”
The big wheel needed spokes to stay supported! Keeps the pressure off of the wheel itself. That should help keep it from breaking apart, theoretically.
Mostly I'm here for the satisfying builds - but it's great in a "behind the scenes" kind of way to see the limits!
Are you going to be at Bricks Cascades this year?
Yes! Bringing the 2nd largest build I've ever created. Should be a ton of fun. : )
@@BrickBending sounds great! Hope to see it there!
Hi when did it stop hurting to not fully press down the bridge connector on the first build
Pained me after the fact, but I've learned to live with the imperfections
The amount of times I nearly shrieked out loud during this video...!!!! Y'all are REALLY playing with fire here!
Wut???
That gloves make me really comfortable❤
Seeing you put two identical pieces directly on top of each other gives me severe anxiety
All I can imagine is the sound of pouring a bunch of marbles into that wavy tower at the end
7:50 where is the plane?
The 1x12 circle would make an awesome coffee table with a glass top.
All of these squares make a circle, all of these squares make a circle...
this man is the reason why you can’t find “that one lego piece”, he prolly used every single one like it for one of these videos lmao
This channel just constantly and consistently embodies the statement "Wait, that's illegal. You're not supposed to do that. And yet, here we are."
I love the look of the pillars at the end
LEGO instruction part inventory be like:
1x6 yellow plates x10000
😂 😂 😂 great video man!
Those bulk Lego ordering companies must love you
That's amazing :o
A quick calculation shows that there's around 4 600 1x12 yellow bricks in the big wheel... where do you even find this amount of bricks 😂
I love how the light reflects off of the LEGO
That first wheel should be cast in resin then turned on a lathe. Make a cool bowl. Cool stuff.
7:38 When your lego tower has scoliosis
A lil car with LEDs on it driving around the inside would create a funky lightshow
Now for the real challenge.
Build an amazing build like this, but without using any illegal building techniques
if you added a piece on the inside of the ring on every section that would let u connect a flat 1x2 u could maybe support the big one better? i dont know lego terms very well but it looks possible
7:57 Time traveler mr. Caveman guards the tower from incoming plane

All you're missing at the end of the video here is a stack of sixteen or so Sonic & Knuckles cartridges on top of one another.

1__how essential are the internal struts?

The first one when on its side looks like it could be used to made a colusseum! I might try this, love your channel.
I wonder... If you added more bricks to the larger build so it was more reinforced, would it be able to stay together when you stood the circle up, or would the extra weight just make it fall apart the same?

Shockingly enough I enjoy the build process. It's a zone that I get into. But on occasion having a crew to help me has been a god send. 🙂
i love watching people build modular structures that should not exist.

8:05 that is art right there
I don't even want to think about the bricklink bill you get for your projects. Incredibly impressive, I wonder if the is a way to add more internal structure so the big would could work.
Revenue from TH-cam = Much crazier builds. It's the magic of this platform.
Would it be possible to adjust the design slightly to allow spokes to be built in the interior to support the weight?
Possibly. It's very hard to get the proportions right to allow another, inner connection, but I think it would help.
I was going to suggest a tourniquet, then you added the shrink wrap. Maybe if you used some heat guns on the shrink-wrap it would make the big one more stable.
The big one on its side, when it was segmented, made me think of the ITER tokamak
Couldn't help but notice the quicker timing between the sliding in the next half of the pieces before combining them. Felt a bit off and almost rushed. Still good video though. I loved the look of the light shining through the larger one and the way the "cracks" looked when had it stood up.
