Are you still a magician or are you doing other things these days? Just wondering if this channel has officially changed into a puzzle orientated channel or if the magic is just on hiatus due to the pandemic. Regardless I'm still enjoying your content and will still support your channel, hope all is well bro ✌️
That was awesome Chris, a real pleasure to talk to you in more detail about how the piece came together and a great pleasure to get to build it for you. Many thanks.
Craig that is an absolutely amazing and gorgeous piece of work! Especially more so now that we get to see the genius involved in making it work. Seriously wow is all I can say.
His channel is a business and he invests wisely in that business. He's producing some of the best content on youtube and has the subscribers to show it.
I can see someone visiting his house and they ask “Wow cool chalice. Can I lift the glass?” “Sure go ahead…” it disappears as they pull it off excitedly. And then Chris just starts laughing hysterically
would be better if he was like, "what did you do?!" as it disappears and the person goes, "nothing I just lifted the glass" in shock. and then Chris goes, "thats never happened before! I hope you can get it back..." seeing if they can discover anything.
I would love to some day have a piece by Craig. His skill, craftsmanship and love for what he does is....there's no words. Cool to see the inner workings of this puzzle and to have craig talk about it. Thanks Chris and Craig for the amazing pieces of wonder for us to enjoy....and sometimes drool over hahaha.
Knowing the mechanics of _how_ this puzzle works, and the imagination that went into building it, is as fascinating (if not more) than the thing itself. How insanely cool.
No wonder it cost so much: expensive wood and metals, the ideas and all those gears and pulleys. Electronic puzzles with computer boards can be made so cheaper but they don’t have this level of ingenuity
This puzzle reminds me of The Room games on the phone. Props to whoever designs these things. I specially love really intricate ones like this. If only I had the cash to buy something like this 😆
I knew it reminded me of something, dammit! I couldn't remember the name of those games. They are great. They're the only phone games I've paid for. It's so cool to see something like it brought to life.
I LOVE this! This is as good as seeing the solve of the puzzle. It's incredible how it all works and the craftsmanship that has gone into creating it. Just amazing. Hats off to you Craig & thanks for sharing Chris
I love the outer look of the pedestal and cup. Beautifully presented! The other side of that is being a little disappointed at the inner mechanism, not because of its functionality, but because its lack of presentation. The outside gives me a retro feeling of Victorian mechanisms, but the inside is not designed with the same attention, it is merely usable. I think had they looked at mid victorian pocket watches etc and copied some of that design into the inner workings, it would have been something of which they could have been much more proud and it would have altogether been very much more beautiful. The gold covered plates could have been engraved and enamelled, the parts inside, wooden and metal, could have been chased, better shaped and/or polished or engraved and it would have been museum quality therefore more fit for its story purpose of housing the Holy Grail.
The mechanism and behavior of the grail rising and falling is sheer joy. I agree with Chris that having only a few steps makes for better puzzle. It *does* need to have minimal puzzle aspects, but the real show-case is the rising and falling of the grail. While this isn't the first puzzle I've seen with a clever mechanism, this is the best mechanism I've seen in terms of sheer awesomeness of the experience. Kudos to Craig for building such an amazing piece of art: Chris definitely got his money's worth.
At first I was disappointed that you made us wait for another video to see the inside of this puzzle, but I for real never expected this. The details, the explanation from the guy that built it. The short wait was worth it in the end. Awesome video as always
That is one of the most satisfying pieces of machinery I've ever seen. This is a fantastic piece of work, a great puzzle, and a beautiful showcase of ingenuity. Great job all around.
Wow that intro! I feel like that would make for a great second channel! B Roll Solves. I love watching and listening to you work your way through the puzzles, but that b roll solve was stunning.
Another great magical piece to add to the collection of Professor Ramsay 🧙♂️ And good ol' Antoine tossing that thing together for the solve, guy is amazing.
Chris, this is your best video ever. I love the close-ups of the mechanisms and you can see how the inner workings work and I love looking at all the gears and it gives people ideas for new inventions and new creations
What an intrigue mechanism. Nice intro with the perfect camera angles. A nice way to showcase the solving as you now memorized it. More mechanical puzzle solving please
The beginning of this is the most awesomest thing ever and I also want to say this has to be the greatest puzzle of all time I love the sound of the ratcheting at the end as you finish unlocking the puzzle that is just the best
Thanks for sharing! Being able to solve this piece is obviously a mystery but to understand what's going on behind the scenes is an even greater mystery. I still can't get over how long it must have taken to design it. A couple of beautiful minds
This video is SO interesting. That puzzle is so cleverly made. The guys who made it really are smart. Your channel is awesome by the way. It’s everything that I love! Well done! 👍🇬🇧
An amazing work of art and engineering. Love that there are no electronic components- really contributes to its mystique. Thanks for sharing the inner-workings and design process. What an amazing way to inspire future puzzle craftsmanship.
Sick puzzle like buddy was saying about the magic in the puzzle or in any puzzle thats what keeps me watching these puzzles are so mind blowing great job to the creator. Awesome video chris have a good one.
I love this puzzle and immensely enjoyed watching both videos. I wish there was a 3rd video with more detail on the wood-working and machining that went into this puzzle. It's a gorgeous piece of art and it looks like Craig used very high-quality wood and components. Freaking no electronics - I couldn't get enough of this puzzle when you revealed this! Does Craig have a video on manufacturing this puzzle?
Thanks for the look inside. It's wonderful to see both the level of ingenuity and craftsmanship that when into this piece, and the respect these two have for each other. Hope the channel continues to grow and we can get more high investment videos like this!
Just want to thank Antwan for all the amazing work he has done thus far. I would love to have a friend like you. I bet you have helped Chris many times over throughout his career.
This is such an awesome puzzle. It is really well made and the mechanics are really smart. It looks as though the dampening device (bit with the plunger) might not be working as well as intended though. If you look at its operation at 8:36 compared to when you do use it, it was much softer. Might be worth looking at as you don't want to stress the woodwork or mechanisms :)
I love your videos!❤️❤️ Whenever I watch your videos it makes me feel like I am capable of thinking outside of the box, thanks for letting me think and work harder!!
Amazing puzzle, amazing mechanism...Hoping to see more puzzles from Craig in the future...maybe a star wars themed one? jedi/sith holocrons might be a good idea? Anyway...thanks for sharing this video. Always glad to see a Chris new video
Just gorgeous. One of the best puzzles I have ever seen. The engineering in this is exquisite. Thank you so much for getting this made and sharing it with us.
As a display puzzle, to put in your showroom or to put in a puzzle maker's showroom, it is worth the $40,000. It is truly beautiful and is doubtless even more beautiful when seen in person with one's own eyes. The small number of steps mean it is easy to demonstrate to fascinated visitors. As a puzzle for someone to solve at home, it would need 5 to 10 more steps and a price tag of under $500, but that is not its purpose. It is a really beautiful functional display piece !
The rising mechanism reminds me of a drawbridge type. So you have the leverage which clicks into a gear, and as you turn the gear the lever clicks against the gear to hold it into place, then you pull the lever and it'll unload or whatever
100% agree it was the perfect length. It could have been longer for the sake of being longer, but this way it’s a fun solve that’s a logical progression instead of something impossible. Plus it makes it so it’s still a show piece after he’s solved it because it’s short enough to show to visitors and stuff and remember how to do.
Loved the original , but as someone who's in a trade , this was equally as satisfying. Kudos to the lads for the design and fabrication and yourself for a truely Awesome showcase 👏 🧡
What next ? a house puzzle ? Like escape room but a entire house filled with puzzle in all the furniture and objects with secret passage ? @Chris Ramsay dream house lol.
It’s super cool and crazy how well made it is! I’m so happy TH-cam exists because otherwise I’d never see something like this! Maybe one day ikea will make one for $40 😅🤞🏻 until then I appreciate the content! 👍🏻
Very reminiscent of "The Room" mobile games (if you're in to puzzles you NEED to play those games. Best puzzle games ever IMHO) . A beautiful piece of cabinet work as well as a clever puzzle.
Woah you did say dope!!!! Good job! Hopefully you can keep it up, maybe pretend you're doing talking to Craig the whole time your solving videos cuz you were very modest with him. Thank you for sharing how this amazing Holy Grail puzzle was created and including the interview you had with one of the makers. Peace&Love&Light ☮☯️🕉
Great video as always🙌🏻 I was just wondering, when the puzzle is solved, what keeps the Grale up when the magnets aren’t there? Thanks for all the pleasure you give to us viewers😊
What an amazing build! I would want stuff like this rather than a safe. Somehow rig an alarm system up to it, or make one the size of a table. Then you can troll people with a plate of cookies or some pie. So many applications.
Any chance you can show the reset mechanism? Or is it basically: put the glass top back on, and switch it back the the winding mechanism? Guessing the lifting mechanism keeps it up without the magnets needed?
Like I said in my comment on the solve video. It’s not the most complex puzzle, but the craftsmanship is insane! I am not a great wood- and metal worker, therefor I truly adore the skill of people who can. I literally had to fight my way creating two guitars :) And electric guitars are relatively easy when it comes to wood and metal working. But I got inspired about creating another real world puzzle. I once created this “geo puzzle” for a friend’s wedding present. Where he got a single chest with a red button. Pushed the red button and it would say 54K. And you would move a few kilometers and you’d push it again and it would say for example 62K And you had a 100 pushed. And when you got close to the target (within 1K) it wouldn’t turn off any more and you could hone in to the exact location. Which was on the Scheveningen pier and if would open the latch and it would reveal a coupon for a dinner at that pier restaurant and a coupon for a night at the Kurhaus hotel across from the pier. It took them 87 pushes of the button… close call.
The mechanism inside this is really interesting, I love mechanics and systems engineering so I really enjoyed seeing how all of the parts linked and made the puzzle work. However I was unsure of one thing, why did the rotating "winder" section only go 90° at a time, and if you went further than 90°, would it release the motor without engaging the lift so you had to start again?
So how do you reset it for the next go round? You go through all the steps and it rises back up into view. I understand how that works. At that point can you just put the glass/magnets back over it and it rereleases and falls? Or is there prep work to set it up again?
Thanks for watching! A dream puzzle come to fruition. Check out Craig's YT and IG for more dope Puzzles! instagram.com/ctfinefurniture/
Sir you invented my imagined machine Shakti Prokriya Karan yantra or machines. This power acceptor help new type quantum computer. Love India
That things awesome :)
Are you still a magician or are you doing other things these days?
Just wondering if this channel has officially changed into a puzzle orientated channel or if the magic is just on hiatus due to the pandemic.
Regardless I'm still enjoying your content and will still support your channel, hope all is well bro ✌️
You are filling up your future warehouse with some neat things!
Get yourself a power screwdriver Chris..
(or a cute assistant :)
That was awesome Chris, a real pleasure to talk to you in more detail about how the piece came together and a great pleasure to get to build it for you. Many thanks.
Craig, you're a genius!!
Craig that is an absolutely amazing and gorgeous piece of work! Especially more so now that we get to see the genius involved in making it work. Seriously wow is all I can say.
I agree you are a genius ,that amazing internals
Amazing work!! Will you put up the plans for sale?
Hey Craig! Your creations are mind blowing.
Who else wants National Treasure 3 to finally be made with Chris as a costar/villain/involved in some way?!?
that's what i was thinking too.. yay
National Treasure: Canadian edition.
@@joeg8200 International Treasure
This dude has spent enough money on puzzle boxes to buy a house and I respect him for this
His channel is a business and he invests wisely in that business. He's producing some of the best content on youtube and has the subscribers to show it.
For what wasting money 💰??
@@mypeeps333 I see that as an investment.
@@mypeeps333 fax
Just because it has a certain price, doesn't mean he payed that much for it. It's a $40,000 puzzle, that probably cost him nothing
I can see someone visiting his house and they ask “Wow cool chalice. Can I lift the glass?”
“Sure go ahead…” it disappears as they pull it off excitedly.
And then Chris just starts laughing hysterically
I'd think Chris'd have the presence of mind to instead look surprised and go "What did you do!?"
would be better if he was like, "what did you do?!" as it disappears and the person goes, "nothing I just lifted the glass" in shock. and then Chris goes, "thats never happened before! I hope you can get it back..." seeing if they can discover anything.

And four years of work for two people.
This puzzle reminds me of The Room games on the phone. Props to whoever designs these things. I specially love really intricate ones like this. If only I had the cash to buy something like this 😆
Best puzzle games ever
I said something nearly the same!! Great minds!!
What do you mean whoever designs these things. The video is literally about the person that designed this thing.
I knew it reminded me of something, dammit! I couldn't remember the name of those games. They are great. They're the only phone games I've paid for. It's so cool to see something like it brought to life.
Chris: "I'll be in my office..."
My head: "... Making no noise and pretending I'm not there".
Omg yesss 😂
"... making no noise and pretending i dont exist"
Love it!
I loved the intro! The solving process in a b-roll!
Holy Grail = where magic, craftsmanship, ingenuity, and engineering meet.
AH MAZING!!! that's what it is.
i recently found Chris's video. now i binge watch his videos.. imagine being near these puzzles.. Awesome..
I LOVE this! This is as good as seeing the solve of the puzzle. It's incredible how it all works and the craftsmanship that has gone into creating it. Just amazing. Hats off to you Craig & thanks for sharing Chris
Chris just gets it man🍸. He just gets it!!!

I can watch the cup go up a hundred time and be as surprised as was the first time. It's amazing! Love this kind of puzzle

Really loved the intro and the almost ASMR nature of just the music and you solving the puzzle so effortlessly.
It's so great to have a video showing the craftsmanship behind this. It made me appreciate how insanely well-made every little detail was.
What an absolutely astounding work of art! Thanks for making this video.

Really liked this BTS. Great to see your magnificent studio from more angles. More, please. 😊
I love your videos!❤️❤️ Whenever I watch your videos it makes me feel like I am capable of thinking outside of the box, thanks for letting me think and work harder!!
This piece is like an illusionist giving a backstage tour and showing off all the mechanical engineering that goes into so many high end illusions.
Amazing puzzle, amazing mechanism...Hoping to see more puzzles from Craig in the future...maybe a star wars themed one? jedi/sith holocrons might be a good idea?
Anyway...thanks for sharing this video. Always glad to see a Chris new video
The quality of the puzzle and the solve is off the charts!
Too easy to solve.
Thank you for that video ! So interesting to see the amount of work required for such a cool puzzle ! Keep up the great work , awesome channel ;)
As a mechanical engineer, I think that this is completly AWESOME ! Very nice design that will keep its accuracy over time. Very well done !
I think I enjoyed watching this even more than the solving! 🤯🤯🤯
Absolutely great to see the mechanism and the insights into the design.
Hahaha! You could see the disappointment on Antoine's face when you tipped the box. 😆
Absolutely incredible. Blew my mind!
Chris Ramsay definitely has the coolest house/interior of all youtubers I’ve ever watched

Quality over quantity. It doesn't need 100 steps because what this does do, it does so well and it's so cool!
The sounds this puzzle makes is so soothing.
You do the best intros Chris !!! If I were a puzzle creator, I'd send you my puzzles free in return for you doing an intro to it !
Beautiful intro! They are getting better & better with each episode.

Liking and commenting before I even watch you solve it. I know this will be crazy
It’s super cool and crazy how well made it is! I’m so happy TH-cam exists because otherwise I’d never see something like this! Maybe one day ikea will make one for $40 😅🤞🏻 until then I appreciate the content! 👍🏻

You should make more videos about whats inside some of your most interesting puzzles and the creator's creative process!
So ingenious! Wow…a true master engineer.
Plus this is a beautiful piece of furniture I loved both videos
Woah you did say dope!!!! Good job! Hopefully you can keep it up, maybe pretend you're doing talking to Craig the whole time your solving videos cuz you were very modest with him.
Thank you for sharing how this amazing Holy Grail puzzle was created and including the interview you had with one of the makers.
Peace&Love&Light ☮☯️🕉
The editing in this one is great
Well crafted with quality materials.I would have expected more out of it for the cost.
This is just insane!!! Super intresting and cool video to watch!!!!
Is it just me or does the fact his face is sorta in frame when the “Holy Grail” comes up make that scene perfect? Like it belongs there lmao
so the puzzle isn’t “Get the chalice” the puzzle is “Reset the puzzle”
LOVE IT!!!!!
Great video as always🙌🏻
I was just wondering, when the puzzle is solved, what keeps the Grale up when the magnets aren’t there?
Thanks for all the pleasure you give to us viewers😊
Your intros never cease to impress!
What an amazing build! I would want stuff like this rather than a safe. Somehow rig an alarm system up to it, or make one the size of a table. Then you can troll people with a plate of cookies or some pie. So many applications.
Love the sound of the wooden sounding ratchet mechanism. Sounds like something DaVinci would have made.
Amazing video dude
Incredible puzzle 🤯. (Great intro too man 🤟)
Any chance you can show the reset mechanism? Or is it basically: put the glass top back on, and switch it back the the winding mechanism? Guessing the lifting mechanism keeps it up without the magnets needed?
I would love another one of these
Like I said in my comment on the solve video. It’s not the most complex puzzle, but the craftsmanship is insane! I am not a great wood- and metal worker, therefor I truly adore the skill of people who can. I literally had to fight my way creating two guitars :) And electric guitars are relatively easy when it comes to wood and metal working.
But I got inspired about creating another real world puzzle. I once created this “geo puzzle” for a friend’s wedding present. Where he got a single chest with a red button. Pushed the red button and it would say 54K. And you would move a few kilometers and you’d push it again and it would say for example 62K
And you had a 100 pushed. And when you got close to the target (within 1K) it wouldn’t turn off any more and you could hone in to the exact location. Which was on the Scheveningen pier and if would open the latch and it would reveal a coupon for a dinner at that pier restaurant and a coupon for a night at the Kurhaus hotel across from the pier.
It took them 87 pushes of the button… close call.
"I thought these are brass but they're 24k gold plated." *Continues to call it brass*
The mechanism inside this is really interesting, I love mechanics and systems engineering so I really enjoyed seeing how all of the parts linked and made the puzzle work. However I was unsure of one thing, why did the rotating "winder" section only go 90° at a time, and if you went further than 90°, would it release the motor without engaging the lift so you had to start again?
So how do you reset it for the next go round? You go through all the steps and it rises back up into view. I understand how that works. At that point can you just put the glass/magnets back over it and it rereleases and falls? Or is there prep work to set it up again?
