Today, I’m going to be solving a $40,000 Puzzle. This is a unique, one of a kind, hand crafted puzzle designed and crafted by Craig Thibodeau and Robert Yarger (stickman). This design took about a year and a half from conception to completion. Made of macore, wenge and brass. The goal, is to retrieve the Holy Grail!

This puzzle is ENTIRELY Mechanical! ZERO Electronics!! O_O
It was amazing! Keep up the great work!
It's a 4 foot fine watch
It really was amazing.
E
So i guess spin move is our of the question
I can see it now. 10 years down the road: Chris Ramsay's museum of puzzles.
This one is pretty enough to display.
Natsu is a menace
That would be amazing
So accurate
"That belongs in a museum!"
These intros are on another level, basically small films at this point
he puts way too much work in these intros
Right though
So fax they are super cool
I absolutely love these intros
Its too long and dramatic this time
Better production quality than most Netflix shows, no cap.
He is wearing a cap.
That was so cool how the grail retracts and then emerges when the puzzle was solved… just like an Indiana Jones movie! However, the clue, as I saw another comment, should’ve been integrated somehow or not even mentioned at all. It wasn’t that hard of a part of the puzzle to solve. If you have a table that rotates, of course you will rotate it until something happens. Other than that, this puzzle was crazy!
This puzzle is worth 40k. winding it more than 90 before bringing it back can probably damage the mechanics. On the other hand, if its worth 40k, he could have made it work so that its a damage-proof puzzle basically.
Also, as in Indiana Jones, this should have been the false Grail.
This guy just gave a 5 minute master class on "Epic Adventure Movie Shots" 😂
Then proceeded to Nicholas Cage his way to crack this puzzle...
Freaking legend.
Ikr
While looking just like Tom Hardy!!
I expected more for a 40k puzzle that seemed really easy
I was thinking the same thing. I think Chris was too
It was more for the materials.
Yeah it felt less like a puzzle and more like pushing and pulling random things until something happened
@@usernameisusernam so like every other puzzle
@@MDG-mykys no
I absolutely love the effort Chris puts in all his videos.
I absolutely loved this solve dude! I AM a little disappointed he just GAVE you the ''4 x 90 degree'' hint instead of integrating a message in the puzzle but still, thoroughly entertained. IM COMING OVER TO PLAY WITH THIS!!!
I see you're preparing yourself for the next puzzle battle.
I bet it would still have worked with 1 x 90 degree, but would've caused it to not raise completely. Would just be a visual thing, not a real hint.
Eric (spell it right, please) Leclerc, You had to find The One Thing that disrupted my thoughts...integrate the clue into the puzzle...Brilliant call, I'll let Chris kick you in the balls himself, but it was a Brilliant call...you deserve that swift one, for your quick wit. Badge of Honor, Sir. 😂🐰🎩❤👍✌👏
Definitely agree it would have been amazing to have it integrated in some way.
You need to be training for the fight with Alex. Don't let Team Eric down.
I know everyone is talking about the $40,000 puzzle but mad respect for the intro! Absolutely impressive
Unironically a better Indy movie than actual modern Indy movies
I like your picture
@@Xoruam the fuck is "indy"
@@Nick-dx2pt Short for Indiana Jones
I feel the same way! I mean the puzzle was cool but I was shocked at the quality of the intro as well! I mean wow! For a TH-camr to Come up with and produce such a good quality intro??? Wow!! I mean the millions Hollywood has and this TH-cam channel can slap together something of comparable quality in some caves near Ottawa? Nice job Chris. And I gotta ask what does the FFTB stand for on Chris’s hand? Coz when I google it I get ‘five foot tall brunette’ and I’m thinking there has to be a deeper meaning?
I absolutely love how you turn all your puzzle solving videos into straight up movies with plots, super fun to watch you solve them too!!
This is actually one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
I don't even know how you come up with these puzzles.
He didn't come up with it, other people build them and he solves them
This puzzle, as always, is AMAZING! But honestly, for 40,000 dollars, I was expecting a larger one, because it requiered "just" a few steps to be solved. But I love it!
I think a lot of the money must have gone into the craftmamship
If not larger than at least more complicated. Should have taken him a month to solve, not less than an hour.
Chris: **puts this puzzle with holy grail as display in his home*
Person who came to visit: **removes the glass*
Chris: Ah shit, here we go again
Must be a hassle to do every step just to get the damn grail to come out again. Imagine putting your phone in there lol. It honestly be a good place to store it
@@kasagrim7215 bro, That’s a good mfkin idea bro, Like, somebody tries to steal it and not only does it disappear but also triggers some Silent alarm
I see you everywhere, Seb.
@@LexPhilogus see me or Kasa Grim
Burglar:
Holy Grail: See ya!
Burglar: Huh? Where dat go? WTF?! o.0
Burglar: Forget this, I'm out!
The cinematography in this video is astounding for something that isn’t intended to be a short film or a cinematic piece. You are an incredible filmmaker. Even down to the sound engineering. As a filmmaker and self-director I appreciate this video as a work of art😂
I will be completely honest, not only are these puzzles amazing, but you hands down have the best editing anywhere on youtube. I never comment really on anyone's videos, but with yours I couldn't stay quiet. Amazing Job.
I was going to watch this on my phone during my lunch break, but seeing the quality of this intro, I knew I had to wait until I got home and put this on my big TV. These intros keep getting more and more elaborate and the production quality keeps getting better and I love it! You should start a short films channel!
Ye
Now this! This is epic 😤
Why are you everywhere
@@jamesfroh5243 fr
U are the equivalent of a Discord mod on TH-cam
@@jamesfroh5243 he’s not everywhere
I bet Chris spends more time filming and editing his intros then he actually does figuring out these insane Puzzles. Love all the shit you do bro!!!!!
I had to stop half way through that intro to go grab popcorn and a drink🍻 so awesome!
MAN!! I've been JONESING for this video for a long time! See what I did there guys?
I'll see myself out.......
On your way out, can you pick up some chrystal skulls maybe
AND stay out! lol
The penitent man will pass
No Ticket!
🤦♂️
Imagine this in your living room. You meet a guest, went to pour some tea. And a friend, in a fit of curiosity, removes the dome from the Grail, and that one is like "Wooooop". Then you come back, and there a friend stands with a glass dome in his hands, his eyes are like "O ___ O" and you are like "Where is the Grail? .."
*That's why I want this table.....*
T-that's cruel ....but also funny, sir! (≧▽≦)
I can see the guest is like " (༎ຶ ෴ ༎ຶ) I only picking up the dome....."
@@adamdamiri4823 You follow up by kicking them out, later they break back in a drunken rage and chucks the puzzle into furniture several times, damaging several mechanisms permanently and making it unsolvable; you come back and see the mess, how do you react?
Alternative idea: You go and meet your guest in your home for tea. You mention the priceless gold chalice you keep in your home as decor, it is sitting in the room your guest is waiting in. You leave the room only to come back tealess and say youve sadly run out of tea bags but offer them instead a drink of top notch wine for the trouble. The guest declines until you sweeten the deal by offering to let them drink from your chalice. The guest, intrigued and mesmerized by the idea of drinking out of the chalice agrees as it would make a great story to brag about in the future. You tell them to lift the glass to fetch the chalice, the chalice falls. You cry out in hysterics pretending not to know the table did that. The guest is now stunned and confused and you have sucessfully upset the guest for trying to touch your chalice.
@@bensoncheung2801 the mental image of watching the puzzle being lifted completely over his head and then driven into the ground and splintering to pieces has me crying😂😂😂
Apparently tequila was the drink of choice, and makes him aggressive & belligerent.
Dude kicks thru the pile of wood scraps, pulls the pimp cup out of the pile of splintered wood, dusts it off, sets it on the coffee table, turns and walks out silently😂☠😂☠😂
amazing, great, well-done production value! cool puzzle!!!
clicked recommended video, expected to see some cool puzzle cracking, got 5 minutes of never before released Indiana Jones.... PLUS cool puzzle cracking.
seriously though, that intro was the highest quality and most entertaining I've seen, was not expecting that, keep up the fantastic work.
i just wanna take a second to say that i love that "candle" light...
It's called Graypants wick table lamp
@@rgLuna dope, thanks.
I knew someone else had to want one. At $150 for the cheapest model, though, I think I've found my next 3dprinting project.
It looks like the lamp Luke had in starwars when he first found Yoda
Was searching for this and voila!
I kinda want one of those "candle" lights.
anyone know where to get it? i tried looking up variations of "candle stick light" and im not finding it
I want it too!
Greypants wick led
@@j.arra.d5057 THANK YOU!
@@MxBrock It's called Graypants wick table lamp
i have a lot of respect for the fact you spend so much to solve a puzzle for your viewers. thanks so much
This is amazing!!! Just stumbled upon your channel and I'm loving it! I've always loved mysteries and puzzles ❤
I’d watch a second channel of just the making of your intros.
I totally agree 👍🏾 they are the best intros of any channel that I have seen.
facts
Agreed
Ditto
Longest and most laborious intro and DEFINITELY THE BEST ONE BY FAR! Was absolutely amazing! Been watching your vids the whole day after getting hooked on your puzzle shorts. But after this intro, I am SO subscribing! Outstanding job!
Everything about this video is just incredible. The intro cinematics, the presentation and build up of anticipation for the solve, and the amazing craftsmanship of the puzzle. I dont comment often at all on TH-cam but man.. I'm astounded
Can we take a second to appreciate Chris for allowing us to see a puzzle worth so much that we may have never came across without him.
I cant belive thats 40 grand. Cup must be real gold for that haha
That was a movie quality intro. The best and coolest intro you've made so far. I can see it now soon it will be a 30 minute intro that is better than many movies out.
That is really an amazing and beautiful puzzle. It was so great to watch you solve it.
Magic and puzzles are in a similar field to me, they exist to work your brain and provoke thinking. But the fact that Chris besides magic and puzzles also does these amazing cinematic intros to a lot of them ? Simply lovely and amazing.
Everyone knows the real Holy Grail is made of wood, you drink from that one you turn into a Skeleton.
When Chris retires, will we get some sort of puzzle museum?
That feature to let you pre-load the mechanism to make the grail be able to appear again is a great idea! Nearly as great as your face when it came up. :)
Since it disappeared initially, I was curious how to "charge" the puzzle with some energy to bring it back.
If you put back the lid and lift it after it came up, will it immediately disappear again or do you need to unload the mechanism with some additional steps before you can restart?
Great puzzle and video!
Thanks! I’ll discuss the inner mechanics on the next one! :)
@@ChrisRamsay52 I love the fact that you and @Mr.Puzzle drool over your puzzle. I subbed to his channel because he fixed Excalibur for you . Now I like Mr.Puzzle can't wait for the next vid !!!
Nice to see the two best Puzzle solvers on TH-cam having a conversation about this. Would love to see a collaboration between you two. 😍
@@michaelschulz2123 YES! 100%!!!! I love these guys, how can that be done? It would have to be a really big puzzle :D
I think there is a connecting gear, that when you lift the lid, it will disconnect the gear and make it fall down. When you solve it you lock the gear in and charge the spring to pull it up. So probably to reset it you need to put the lid on and unlock the gear again.
The retraction of the grail when you lifted the bell jar is the sickest thing I've ever seen in a puzzle! 🤯
in the beginning, i thought it's a movie.. you're incredible man
Damn, dude.. Y'all are killing it with these intros. That was amazing. So much nostalgia.
AM I WATCHING A FREAKING MAJOR MOTION PICTURE!!??!! 🤯 🤯 🤯 🤯 🤯
Nah dude. Higher quality and production value.
For the engagement. Props to you buying this puzzle!
The production done on your videos are insane! Keep it up Chris!
The reaction at 18:54 was too good! Brilliant as always Chris, and DAMN that intro!! 🙌🏼
It's as legendary as the pog face!
Right?! Fuck that intro!
@@Lockhart2000 they were complimenting the inteo
Amazing intro Chris, those caves and the lighting, everything was just beautiful. Thank you for making such a cool video of this piece and for being a great client, it's really enjoyable making these experimental pieces for someone who truly appreciates what goes into them.
Amazing work Craig! Really, REALLY amazing work! You should be proud of what you do!
Agreed, great intro. I remember all the Jones movies when watching this. Great work Craig and Chris.
You are a gifted craftsman and artist.
That is a mind a blowing piece of work Craig! And the video put together by Chris and Antoine and team really do it justice! I may have made the mistake of accidentally watching Craig's video first that shows the solve 🤦♂️
astonishing job dad!!!
Idk why but I can’t get enough of puzzle solving.
haha love our LED "candle"
Me: skips the intro
Him: this is the hardest and longest intro we ever made
Me: feels bad in the stomach
😂😂 nooo cap 🧢 I skipped the whole thing it was drawn out way too long.
ikr he made such a cool intro but i just skip em and watch the puzzle
Hey Chris, I'm autistic and going through the pandemic was really taking a toll on me; since I love going for nature walks. Your videos are how I unwind, seeing you solve puzzles and I find myself screaming at my screen sometimes when I see a solution. "Oh Chris, it's right there! You missed it". You're a very talented content creator who puts in hard work. Thank you for your videos.
I love the idea of a different dimension with a different timeline. I like how you embrace it as well. It's a fun way to see puzzles.
The production value of this video is nuts! Thanks a lot for the hard work! It’s much appreciated!
i kinda want to put it in a museum plainly just to see the thieves got stumped over it lol
Put it in front and have the house door key in it.
It belongs in a museum!
this puzzle is definitely more work of art than puzzle, its truly an amazing puzzle but i feel kind of like for that kind of money it would have been nicer to see it last more than 10 mins for something that big and complex and expensive. great job on the puzzle to the creators and hope no one takes this as hate, i have nothing but love and respect for Chris and his vision for things.
100% agree, not hating on it, but for $40,000 I was expecting something more complex. But it is a beautiful puzzle.
video is edited. Took more than 10 min. Also, it is a 1 off puzzle. And its clear that the experience of the puzzle is what they spent the time on, not complexity. No other puzzle on earth has that level of WOW. You're severely undervaluing the two creators' time if you think that its 'too simple'. 20k in design adn 20k in craftsmanship is only 2-3 months of time for each assuming a reasonable salary, pre-tax, etc to make something that will only make them profit once. $40K a simple little Hanayama puzzle probably costs a similar anmount in R&D and purcchasing machining components and ordering materials but they get to sell thousands and thousands and make way more profit.
@@eurly93 of course its edited but if you know his videos he shows most of the solving of the puzzle. This was definitely a very very fast solve for a 40k puzzle. Way to easy.
that dude's voice in the intro is the best I have heard in a long time. what ever mic and filtering was used gave me goosebumps. GET THAT FELLA A VA CAREER!
Thats some wicked production work. I was just looking for a puzzle solve . Good work
You’re meddling with powers you can’t possibly comprehend.
“There’s a reason that they wiggle...otherwise they wouldn’t wiggle” 😂🍿 this is why I watch these, it’s because he makes you want to keep watching with the comments he makes
@ꕥ 𝚁𝚘𝚜𝚊𝚕𝚒𝚎 ꕥ same
That's how he solves almost all of these puzzles is he looks for the parts that want to move and focuses on figuring out how to actually make that happen. THEREFORE if I was making these puzzles, I would integrate all sorts of red herrings into the puzzle. Parts that wiggle but otherwise do nothing just to throw him off. I would maybe even try to have parts that ARE supposed to move but don't give the same wiggle "tells", but that might be physically impossible.
Very cool. Can't wait to the see the insides.
Superb ... So awesome to see your excitement !
Imagine being a robber, going to take the goblet and it just drops into the wood
One good swing
Can’t wait! Been wanting an Indiana Jones short film for a while now!
Pretty cool puzzle. Amazing craftmanship and hard work.
AWESOME!!! Truly amazing workmanship. I really enjoyed this one!!! Thank you for sharing it with us!
Chris using his platform to advertise and support crafters like Craig Thibodeau who makes very fine cinema-like puzzles gives me heartwarms :)
Awww my dog has heartworms
Don't forget the legendary Stickman, R. Yarger
LET'S GET THIS TRENDING!
holy shit i got a heart from Chris
Idk man…. Seems waaaays to easy to be a 40000$ puzzle… but at least it looks cool 😊
@@amossss or at least more than a couple minutes like damn bruh
I think the high cost is in the craftsmanship. The puzzle is actually pretty intricate considering it's all mechanical.
@@pedrorodrigueziii4859 I think the cost was materials and you could recreate something similar for much less
Expensive for having to get on your hands and knees,pull off a few legs and hey presto.
Absolutely love everything you do Ramsay I’m literally running out of puzzle videos to watch and I went back to the first puzzle video up past this I’m now watching again because once I watch your two newest ones I will be out of content 😢😂 love your work brother ❤🎉😂
Do these puzzle makers have TH-cam channels showing the build process? I would love to see the process of building something of this quality, all 21 episodes of it.
Beautiful piece, but I feel like it was too easy and short!
Nice mechanics, but pretty lame as a puzzle
Yah I thought the same thing
Been following you for years dope to see your transformation. Shows that anyone can do what makes them happy
I recently found out this channel from your TikTok account! I am surprised that I didn’t know you before. Every video of yours feels a new experience for me. It’s crazy that one of your favourite movies is National treasure and it’s one movie I really like that nobody talk about!
I NEED THAT CANDLE LIGHT THING. Anyone know where i can find it
DAMN I WANT IT TOO
Me too, i did a quick google, but didn't find anything yet...
I think its a Wick Portable Lamp.
@@batman96160 thanks a lot! That's the one... and the price is... ouch. D:
@@axuhaslostit you’re not kidding. You could honestly make your own for under 40-50 bucks. Maybe an old candle stand ran with led lights and a small switch on the bottom.
The builders of this puzzle watching this video like 😳 “that wasn’t supposed to come out” 😂
Absolutely amazing, the final revelation is so epic. Great job!!
"90 degrees 4 times" "that's all i know" "just gonna yank the cover off"
That's a beautiful sliding furniture puzzle, but the drop/lift mechanism for the grail is what blows my mind. I can't wait to see inside!
Absolutely love the intro! The creativity that you and your team bring to the everything you do is absolutely awesome.
Yeah! It was like a movie!!
It's absolutely beautiful! However, would have enjoyed the solve more if the hint was incorperated into the work of art. Maybe etched into the inside of the brass pieces that are removed; either by doing one line in a longer riddle or coded message on each piece (as it is the holy grail), or simply having etched: '⊾' and 'x4'. I love the simplicity of the expensive wood with the brass under the holy grail that I personally wouldn't have wished them to ruin the outside finish with some carved message on a panel (unless it was beautifully done & inlayed with brass;P). Still a stunning piece of work none the less! I'm so excited to see how they managed that without electronics, I'm over the moon impressed!
How’d you get the right angle emoji?
“Very good Junior” (in my best Sean Connery voice) that intro was awesome!! Production quality through the roof.
Love this, absolutely amazing!
Easy, just lift the glass top
Exactly lmao
Jajajja
Lol
Just wait to see what happens when I do!
Can some one suport me pls
Just realized that this puzzle is worth my full year’s tuition. Loved the intro and the puzzle!
Congratulations your getting a overpriced education.
I thought that it’s worth about 8x my car
Only one year?!? How the fuck is it that expensive?
What is this a pity party
@@shelbysloan5983 There's no reason you have to go to a school that expensive in America dude's just getting fleeced lmao
Amazing quality and content. Good luck, Chris!
I love the cinematic openings to all of these
How did my feed not recommend this to me? The algorithm must be broken.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm always jealous of these solves lol
I wonder if he actually completed the puzzle.
That is not the cup of a carpenter.
👏👏👏👏👏
🤣 the best comment ever 🏆🏆🏆🏆
LOLLLL
Absolutely Bloody Brilliant Mate! Hands down the most original comment posted. I reckon this completely skyrocketed over most blokes minds! Good on ya mate! Cheers from Western Australia 🇦🇺👍.
I am pretty stupid, can someone explain this comment and the joke behind it to me please?
at 17.07 you looked like you were reaching directly for the next one but you backed up checked couple of corners and came back to it. I understand you have to add the surprise element . Big Thumbps up for the content. def considering buying one of these in the future.
Wicked awesome intro Chris. Love all your vids. Thanks for sharing
Thumbs Up for traveling “by map” 🍷
Imagine that if all the puzzles that Chris has been sent in the last 5 years all amounted to one giant puzzle that he then had 24 hours to work out!! :D
Wow, that was amazing. Now I know were Peter gets his idea for his last short movie. You are amazing Chris.
Me yelling at my phone saying USE THE BRASS THINGY WITH THE PIN over and over and over 😅😅😅😅😅😅 what a visually stunning piece of work
What an absolute amazing opening. The story, lighting and sound(effects) are so on point! Absolutely loved it
That does however look like the "You have chosen poorly" grail though.. lol
I guess he missed that part of the movie :)
The red grail or the blue grail.
Yep. Jesus was poor
I did a rewatch, man, this puzzle is beautiful. You've got to have one of the finest puzzle collections. This might be a centerpece.
Intro was a masterpiece. Also huge shout out and appreciation to Craig and Robert. What an amazing piece.
"How to blow your patreon budget for the rest of the year"
This is literally INCREDIBLE
What a gorgeous puzzle. So well made!
I feel like ive had had harder puzzles that harder than this but wont lie the craftsmanship of it is beautiful
