3 large and very illegal LEGO builds Brick Bending 2023-11-09 | These builds are the mega-sized, and strangely much more ridiculously fragile sibling builds of a simple design in a previous video: youtu.be/Y9ruALhxJgsIllegal building techniques come in many varieties, and some of them can actually make your builds much stronger (due to the stress they contain). These incomplete connections do the opposite. There’s very little stress on the builds at all—too little in fact—so fragility is the name of the game. The 1x3 plate version of this design is actually quite sturdy. It’s the weight of these larger builds pulling on those incomplete connections that make these designs so challenging. Beyond just the fragility, this video turned out to be surprisingly difficult. Between being out of practice, filming with a new camera, and a couple of airplane flyovers I didn’t notice during filming, it made for an unusually frustrating experience. I thought it only fitting to share many of those failures with you--the culminating fail being the building of the interlocking rings, which turned out to be impossible with the light and camera rigging in the way. So I had to work a little off screen magic off. But the final result cracked me up, so I think it was worth it. : ) How to support Brick Bending:- Follow me for free updates, or consider a support tier: patreon.com/brickbending- Buy a DIY kit: wlwyb.com/shop - Buy a piece of original LEGO art: brickbending.com/shop- Throw some bricks my way: buymeacoffee.com/brickbendingSpecial Thanks to Patreon supporters: Beyond the Brick, TweekLW, weareflannelpdx.com, usujason, and Henry Wegener.---Designs in the video---1x12 Wheel - 2:31- Diameter: 37.5cm / 14.4in- piece count: 1x2 plates (519)Interlocking Rings- 4:15- piece count: 1x12 plates (1041)Infinity Curve- 5:21- 63.5 X 37.5 cm / 25 X 14.4 in- piece count: 1x12 plates (919)#lego #brickbending #legoart #scultpture #wheel #fragile
A small but VERY illegal LEGO build Brick Bending 2023-10-10 | In full disclosure, this build is definitely difficult in that final step of assembly. The alignment of the plates must be close to perfect, and even then there’s a lot of struggle to force the pieces into place. The fascinating thing is that ultimately there's no stress in this build--these are incomplete connections. So in the classic sense this build is VERY illegal, and yet the bricks are 100% fine. It's just somewhat fragile.I also didn’t show some 'off camera' work to tweak a few of the plates that didn’t quite line up (only because it would be boring to watch). That being said, I don’t know if there’s a cooler LEGO wheel that is this small with so few pieces. Definitely a nice little desk ornament / fidget toy. ☺️The cost of shipping for the pieces for this build is probably more than the LEGO plates themselves, but here's a great BrickLink store in the USA that I've ordered from many times (not a sponsor or affiliate): store.bricklink.com/Brock?itemID=312601767#/shopOf course, search around for the price, color, and shipping costs that makes you the happiest.

Youll never guess what I build with this Brick Bending 2023-04-02 | A continuation of the theme of how a single type of LEGO brick can create something amazing, unexpected, and beautiful. This build definitely fits that bill. I'd love to find a great name for this design that does it justice, but the shorthand I can't keep myself from using is 'macaroni sun', and at this point it has stuck.This original art piece is currently available for sale: brickbending.com/shopSupport Brick Bending- Follow me for free updates, or consider a support tier: patreon.com/brickbending- Buy a kit: wlwyb.com/shop - Throw some bricks my way: buymeacoffee.com/brickbending Special Thanks to Patreon supporters: Beyond the Brick, TweekLW, weareflannelpdx.com, usujason, SJ, and Henry W -Piece count-Round Corner 4 x 4 Macaroni brick: 630 #lego #brickbending #legoart #sun #macaroni
When LEGO bricks get seriously twisted Brick Bending 2023-02-12 | Sometimes even I think I’ve exhausted the interesting possibilities in certain bricks, but then builds like these happen and I’m genuinely shocked at how simple, and absolutely astounding they are.

Pushing LEGO wedge plates to their limit Brick Bending 2022-12-07 | This is a similar theme to a few of my past builds, but taken to new level with A-shaped LEGO wedge plates. As the outtakes at the end showed, it was challenging getting that final connection without making the build longer. But the longer this type of build, the more 'play' it has within it, and the less satisfying I find it. I'm always striving for the stress limit a given build can take while still being solid and stable. All that being said, you can bet this won't be the last helical torus I create--and I definitely want to go bigger. 😁 I should also note the special guest appearance of my A-Shaped Wedge Wheel toward the end. I just had to see how these two builds looked together.

LEGO wedge pieces are VERY weird (and fragile) Brick Bending 2022-06-15 | Apologies. No rolling. No spinning with this one. Not a chance.It’s safe to say that this design will stay together without a problem, at rest, on a flat surface, indefinitely. But moving it's ridiculously fragile unless the curve is perfectly aligned, and in general it won’t tolerate much disturbance at all. But that being said, what an amazing looking toroid--more like a UFO than a donut--a curved, slotted, octagonal loop.How to support Brick Bending:- Follow me for free updates, or consider a support tier: patreon.com/brickbending- Buy a DIY kit: wlwyb.com/shop - Buy a piece of original LEGO art: brickbending.com/shop- Throw some bricks my way: buymeacoffee.com/brickbendingSpecial Thanks to my Patreon supporters: Beyond the Brick, TweekLW, weareflannelpdx.com, Joe Ernst, usujason, The Talanton, and SJStructure: 77 three layer 'rings' Piece breakdown:A-shaped wedge plates (949)1x3 plates (146)#lego #brickbending #legoart

WARNING: This LEGO build might traumatize you Brick Bending 2022-03-21 | There's a fine line between torturing LEGO bricks, and building something magical. This design definitely skirts that line, but ultimately I think this is an amazing build that needs to exist. You may have seen me build LEGO rings/cylinders, and you may have seen me build LEGO helices, but a helical LEGO cylinder? And although there's a lot of stress in this build, I've had this sitting in the corner of my studio for a few years now. It's solid and very stable.

I deconstructed the build, and in my first attempt to film and recreate it I built it ~16% smaller than it should be (I used 6 segments rather than 7). I had a couple of frustrating moments in that reconstruction only to realize that I had build it much smaller than I ever would have knowingly attempted.

This LEGO build is curved in a very strange way Brick Bending 2022-02-12 | Piece breakdown: Slopes, curved 1x4 (160), 1x4 plates (160), 1x2 bricks (160), 1x2 plates (320), 1x2 jumper plates (80) Yes, I love making circles in LEGO—in every strange way that I can—and this build is no exception. There’s just something special about adding curved bricks to a bending LEGO build. And yes, this could also be the baldest LEGO tire ever. It's ironic that the most tire-like build I've ever made is very mediocre at rolling. 😂 I could probably tighten the build to remove the little bit of the play that it currently has (which would help) but this kind of ‘thick’ bend gets tricky when there’s too much stress.

A very strange LEGO build | A collaboration with All New Bricks Brick Bending 2022-02-10 | This idea to combine a Brick Bending design with a new LEGO set came about as a collaboration with All New Bricks, whose set build videos are next level, and whose animations put my meager montage to shame 😂 Check out their amazing video and animation featuring this LEGO set and my Brick Bending portal:youtu.be/aFI6gxidX7EAnd make sure to check out their channel: youtube.com/c/allnewbricksThis build is a simple tweak of a earlier creation of mine: youtu.be/SnKe-6MgxBQ and is a perfect compliment to any Dr Strange LEGO set--particularly the one featured in this video: LEGO Marvel Dr Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Gargantos Showdown 72605How to support Brick Bending:- Follow me for free updates, or consider a support tier: patreon.com/brickbending- Buy a DIY kit: wlwyb.com/shop - Buy a piece of original LEGO art: brickbending.com/shop- Throw some bricks my way: buymeacoffee.com/brickbendingPiece breakdown: white 1x4 plates (42), bright light orange 2x2 corner plates (42), orange 1x6 plates (21) #lego #brickbending #allnewbricks #marvel #drstrange #portal #gargantos
Ridiculous LEGO donuts (and LEGO donut fails) Brick Bending 2022-02-05 | These builds are an escalation and 'improvement' of the original LEGO donut: youtu.be/9CVipCE9StkIn some ways, the replacement of the 1x4 plate with two 1x1 round plates makes for a more aesthetically pleasing build that has less problems with the incomplete connections. But ultimately this design is much more fragile--which does make for some really fun filming moments. : ) And I'm just scratching the surface of what I could do with a LOT of these round plates.How to support Brick Bending:- Follow me for free updates, or consider a support tier: patreon.com/brickbending- Buy a DIY kit: wlwyb.com/shop - Buy a piece of original LEGO art: brickbending.com/shop- Throw some bricks my way: buymeacoffee.com/brickbending--Piece breakdown-- Single donut: 6x6 round plates (84), 1x1 round plates (168)Double donut: 6x6 round plates (168) Triple donut: 6x6 round plates (336) #LEGO #brickbending #legoart #geometricart #asmr #donuts #fails

Youve never seen a LEGO build move like this Brick Bending 2022-01-22 | There's an obvious parallel between the final iteration of this build, and a previous creation of mine: youtu.be/DJvIrb3ionsThey're both helices, but the primary difference is structural. The slinky of squares is much smaller, and fairly fragile--and adding layers to that build didn't particularly help. This build is very solid, and if I were to make the helix with five or six layer coils it would be even sturdier. It's also structurally dynamic. The final helix has a 23 pointed star in each coil, but there's no reason why I couldn't make those coils 22 points, or 8, or anything in between. And the way that energy moves through the build is just crazy--it looks almost alive. My daughter found it quite disgusting, and I can't say that I blame her. There's a reason I've been calling this the sunflower worm. 😂 And I already know how I want to scale this monstrosity up!

The secret art of LEGO origami? Brick Bending 2022-01-15 | Is this origami? As the word origami means 'folding paper' it doesn't exactly fit. Perhaps we could call this 'brick folding'--one of the many lost brick bending arts. I honestly don't fully grok how or why this works. But when I discovered it, I knew I had something strange, confusing, and very special--and now I finally get to share it : )In short this build primarily consists of two simple patterns of 1x4 plates that are mirror images of each other. When you interweave them together with hinged connections they are able to tightly fold up, and then expand, all fairly easily. All the extra bits around the outside edges just help foster the illusion of squareness in its compact form. I hope you enjoy.

When LEGO bricks utterly surprise you Brick Bending 2022-01-08 | I started this build just before Shang-Chi was released but the build made me realize that my studio space was too small to film something this big. Even now this build pushed the limits of my upgraded studio and showed me that I'm going to need to upgrade again before 2022 is out. But I'm always looking for a reason to escalate 😁You can also see that this build is so large that it starts to sag under its own weight. It measures in at 46in (117cm) but it only has 3200 pieces, so I think it's about as big as I can build using this technique for this style of design. Free standing it will squish at the bottom, and hanging it will elongate through the middle. But don't worry--as these builds get even bigger I have more tricks up my sleeve.

Bending LEGO plates to my will Brick Bending 2021-12-24 | This build is the third in a series. The first is a dodecahedron: youtu.be/cOCSMaGL1WQThe second is a rhombicuboctahedron: youtu.be/jSfezZqOKrcThis build is a curved approximation of an icosahedron: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IcosahedronYou may also recognize it as the the shape of the classic d20 in dungeons & dragons. : )This video has a number of issues that I’m not particularly happy with—but I decided to release it anyway. Those issues partially stem from the filming process, but mostly it's the fact that the design isn't optimal, i.e. it needs to be improved and reincarnated. But I’m trying hard to not let perfection get in the way of showing you really interesting builds. A couple of notes:1. This build is 'studs in' because its curvature is fairly high, and this building technique bends more in that direction. It makes for an interesting look, although I'd love to see how big I have to make it in order to have the build be 'studs out'. 2. There was no hiding the fact that these plates have been part of a high stress build for many years. This meant that they have warped slightly in the direction of that stress (although you can't really tell by looking at them individually) and the plates have also lost some ‘clutch power’ (i.e. how snugly the studs fit inside other pieces). However neither of these facts are an issue once the build is fully assembled. For builders who reuse their bricks over and over again, this degradation of the bricks is a non-starter, and I can appreciate that—it would make their normal building life difficult/unpleasant. For me, I am creating an icosahedron, and it will always be an icosahedron—so the warping of the bricks ultimately doesn’t matter. And as this build has survived many years, and yet still handled being torn apart, reassembled, spun, and rolled around--it just shows how tough and resilient these little bricks truly are. 😁How to support Brick Bending:- Follow me for free updates, or consider a support tier: patreon.com/brickbending- Buy a DIY kit: wlwyb.com/shop - Buy a piece of original LEGO art: brickbending.com/shop- Throw some bricks my way: buymeacoffee.com/brickbendingPiece breakdown - 1x2 plates (2940), hinge plate 1x4 swivel (120), 2x2 corner plates (180) in 12 vertices & 30 edges#LEGO #brickbending #legoart #geometricart #geometry #platonicsolid #icosahedron #d20

Inverting a mini LEGO donut Brick Bending 2021-12-19 | Here is the short for the mini LEGO donut: youtu.be/zS8B_3g0NuAAs suggested by ℕ𝕒𝕤𝕖𝕖𝕞 in that video's comments, “What if you did an inverted version where the curved side is on the inside?”That was a very good idea, and to be honest I’m surprised that it worked so well. You can see that it doesn’t really want to hold together as it’s constructed, but once all the pieces are in place it does manage to hold itself together quite nicely. So I give you a mini LEGO donut, and its inverse--both of which are amazing little builds. 😁How to support Brick Bending:- Follow me for free updates, or consider a support tier: patreon.com/brickbending- Buy a DIY kit: wlwyb.com/shop - Buy a piece of original LEGO art: brickbending.com/shop- Throw some bricks my way: buymeacoffee.com/brickbending-Piece breakdown-Mini Donut: Half round 4x8 plates (52), 1x1 round plates (104)Inverted Mini Donut: Half round 4x8 plates (51), 1x6 plates (51)Notes:1. I used 1x6 plates on the inverted mini donut rather than 1x8's, as the corners of the 1x8's hung out over the smooth inner curve.2. It's interesting that the inverted mini donut works better with 102 layers rather than the 104 in the mini donut. Not entirely sure why that is, but for some reason the 104 layer inverted donut is just a little bit squidgy. I'm assuming there's a very slight height difference between the 1x1 round plate and the 1x6.#lego #brickbending #legoart #geometricart #donut #inverted

There arent many stranger LEGO things #shorts Brick Bending 2021-12-17 | I once posted this build along with the 'Stranger Things' opening theme, and now I can't disassociate the two in my head. But here on YT I lean into Bach when I need music, so this is now indeed a very strange concatenation of things my mind 🤪Note that this is an extremely fragile build as it only uses a single type of plate, and that plate doesn't connect to itself as well as the two types of plates I use in my other similar builds. Once it's together it will stay together--but getting it together is very challenging. Music by J.S. Bach - Goldberg Variations, BWV 988 (Piano) - 8 Variatio 27 a 2 Clav.

This is because the build can compress and expand.
