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!
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.
Wait a minute. Are you the guy behind Kerbal Space Program? *Checks Channel* Dude, I have loved that game since the first versions came out in 2011. Thank you for coming up with that idea and bringing it to life, and I am so sorry about the fiasco that is KSP2.
Wow... I didn't know this was a whole thing. Not my first puzzle... but only my second. And if I did something right, it was completely by accident 🤣 Thanks for the feedback! AND the lesson!
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.
@@wyattcheatle7876 being that this project took weeks, I don't think a few extra hours would've been too big of a deal. But then again, KISS. If it works, don't fix it.
@@wyattcheatle7876 I agree that it was a 'timing' reason but I doubt it had much to do with the time it takes to heat the oven. That piece was a small, thin-walled part with not a lot of mass, had he heated it in the oven by the time he's managed to grip it and manhandle it over to the oil bath the part would no longer have been at the optimal temperature.

@@wyattcheatle7876100% true. I imagine that things takes a good amount of time to get up to 1400F. Definitely would have gotten a more consistent result if he used the oven though
@@Galerak1nah he could just grab it and toss it in the oil. I imagine it would take a while to get up to 1400F and then back down to 400F to temper it
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.
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.
@@pauloalvesdesouza7911there was another one when he shaved and was checking it out. And another where she helped him. But I can't remember which ones they were. 🤔🤷🏻♂️
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.
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.
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
Couldn't agree more mate. You turn up a simple bushing to help someone out and they think you're a wizard. So much simplicity from the past had been over complicated by computers.
"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.
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!
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.
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 TH-cam.
I have a feeling that 3D printing can help a great deal in designing puzzles. Feels like just the type of application suitable for 3D printing: a lot of fast iteration, prototypes, lower batches, complex inside structures. Had a class about 3D printing this fall and was fascinated how far it has developed from back in the day when my friends assembled a funny plastic keychain fob or cup printer. Especially metal 3D printing, although I don't think you still get a reasonable metal printer at home workshop levels. The teacher showed a fidget toy type of construction with 8 cubes attached to each other with some sort of flexible/jointed structure and every cube had different textures and features. And another that was a ball and socket joint where the ball was fully encapsulated inside the joint. That break my mind seeing it on the first time, my narrow mind hadn't even thought about how you could print structures like that. I'm not sure if I'm more scared or intrigued by onshape though. Whenever I've encountered a browser based app, I've truly hated the user experience. And I've seen students working on the same report at the same time which makes me scared of doing it in CAD. I've seen PDM systems work as well as git does for project management though, it's a bit of an effort at first but the value easily balances out a few more clicks. But I'm not against onshape per se, evolution has to keep going. I've just far more enjoyed having stuff like Solidworks or Siemens NX on desktop than on ipad or in browser. They're just stupid expensive if you don't get the license from your organisation, which leads to: any working CAD that isn't expensive is the go to tool for most people. I'll be honest, watching you turn the parts is sexy. This is why I started studying mechanical engineering. This puzzle looks nice and also the satisfaction of smoothly locking metal pieces that hide contacts is immense.
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.
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.
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!
I watch most of your stuff on tiktok. This is a work of art. I work in a machine shop, but we never have time for stuff like this. We need to see your wife, I love how excited she is about the stuff you make, its great to have someone appreciate the work you do.
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!
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
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.
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
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.
Dude, you nailed every single thing about this video. The design, problem solving, machining, videography, scripting... Damn you got skills and patience.
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
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!
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!
I absolutely loved seeing your wife dive into this puzzle with such enthusiasm! Her excitement was such a joy to witness, and I bet it made you smile just as much as it did me. Well done, Brandon!
This is the most impressive machining thing I saw on YT and reminds me not to start with machining at all. I suck even at woodworking. Your wife taking the challenge with that much fun was really cool ending. Epic! Have a good new year!
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
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...
a few years ago he asked for a switch so he could play with friends, he didn't seem very enthusiastic about the one I gave him, it's perfectly suitable for lan parties though, I guess he didn't have cat 6 cables to go with it, bit of oversight on my part.
I love this kind of video. Maybe you could make more machined puzzles... I also really like that your wife is very positive and supports you in your endeavours. She adds a pleasant flavour to your videos and her positivity and even a little bit of good natured awe and wondered is very infectious. Keep up the good work, I can't wait to see what else you come up with. Even in your failures, like the lathe screws, I feel, I learn a lot I also appreciate that you include those failures, mishaps and off spec cuts/millings because, I feel like, sometimes it's easy to get discouraged, especially after the 2nd or 3rd try, when you show these mishaps I feel like I'm not alone and usually just try again. (Usually after having to go out and buy more material lol) Thank you and I hope you and you wife have a Happy 2025!
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.
Greetings from the Ohio River Valley! I always enjoy stopping in to see what you've come up with. The best quality parts come out of that little shop; truly inspiring.
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
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!!
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.
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💪
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

I absolutely loved seeing your wife dive into this puzzle with such enthusiasm! Her excitement was such a joy to witness, and I bet it made you smile just as much as it did me. Well done, Brandon!
Best video yet and not because of machining. The absolutely and excitement in your wife's voice is priceless! You're a very lucky man! Cheers!
Have to say, it’s my birthday today and it was an absolute treat to watch this! Please keep up the amazing work!
that detent ring was super impressive. the plug machining, all the way through heat treating.
Thank you for this. Her genuine joy translates through the screen.
The most fun, aside from your thought processes, is the wonderful chemistry between you and Paige. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
This is the most impressive machining thing I saw on YT and reminds me not to start with machining at all. I suck even at woodworking.
Your wife taking the challenge with that much fun was really cool ending. Epic! Have a good new year!
... in my early life, decades ago, a lot of this was fun to do ... nowadays, it is exiting to watch a master at work ... thanks, mate ...
I love it when you show your builds to your wife. You two have such fun together and it's fun to see.
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
Bro I hope you realize you bring genuine happiness to total strangers. You’re the man.
I always enjoy your work. Seeing and hearing your wife involved is icing on the cake! Thank you.
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😂😂😂
V blocks > V bucks
V-Bucks, as you probably know by now.
Is the joke yes
a few years ago he asked for a switch so he could play with friends, he didn't seem very enthusiastic about the one I gave him, it's perfectly suitable for lan parties though, I guess he didn't have cat 6 cables to go with it, bit of oversight on my part.
He hasn't even got done with the introduction and I've already hit the like button, and created engagement by making this comment. 😊
🙌
I love this kind of video. Maybe you could make more machined puzzles...
I also really like that your wife is very positive and supports you in your endeavours. She adds a pleasant flavour to your videos and her positivity and even a little bit of good natured awe and wondered is very infectious.
Keep up the good work, I can't wait to see what else you come up with. Even in your failures, like the lathe screws, I feel, I learn a lot
I also appreciate that you include those failures, mishaps and off spec cuts/millings because, I feel like, sometimes it's easy to get discouraged, especially after the 2nd or 3rd try, when you show these mishaps I feel like I'm not alone and usually just try again. (Usually after having to go out and buy more material lol)
Thank you and I hope you and you wife have a Happy 2025!
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.
The last time I was this early, he was still inheriting the machines.
Love the channel!!

I was binging your older videos.
This couple dynamics is incredible
Always rewarding watching something you created, bring joy to someone you love.
Wow, great puzzle and great video. Love that your wife was so excited and loved it. Thanks for sharing!
As with all of your videos, it was very calming. I really enjoyed every moment. Thank you for the 20 minutes of piece and tranquility.
As always it’s a pleasure watching another amazing video and your wife’s enthusiasm definitely made it perfect.
A Chrismas present!
By far most favorite machinist channel! Thanks again!!
Greetings from the Ohio River Valley! I always enjoy stopping in to see what you've come up with. The best quality parts come out of that little shop; truly inspiring.
Fantastic video!!! I enjoyed every aspect of this video while watching. I'm so happy to have found your channel!
Well that was incredibly delightful! It's a good looking piece, and it works like it's supposed to!
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 don't know what was more satisfying, you finishing making the puzzle or your wife solving the puzzle!
Absolutely love your channel. Happy new year to both you and your wife.
I love this so much omg, and you and your wife are brilliant as per usual
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!!
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.
What a delightful video to watch! Congrats to the misses for the great resolving powers!
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.
This is so cool! You guys are great.
That solving montage was absolutely delightful ☺️
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family mate
That was awesome! Nicely done!
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💪
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
Beautiful puzzle with a good plan. Was a lot of fun to watch. Thanks.
That is an amazing puzzle!
