How To - Assemble a Six (6) Piece Wooden Star Puzzle

How to disassemble and reassemble a six (6) piece wooden star shaped puzzle.

[@natejmattson1870]

This is the loosest wooden star on earth. Most are too tight for this.

[@vivianfrias4729]

how do you do it when to toght

[@jeavalos]

Put 3 of the pieces together to form a corner piece in one hand and make the same setup on the other hand. Then you can "screw" them together to make the star.

[@appleboi6291]

True

[@cindytartt4048]

This is without a doubt the best one there is. People think if they can do it, they can film it. As a teacher, I can categorically state the method (you demonstrate) of holding it, presenting it to the screen, without twisting it quickly, is the best. Thank you! The other 5 on YT don’t work easily. They either yack too much, rotate the piece too speedily or unintentionally push the whole thing across the screen. ✅✅✅

Thank you for this. My toddler pulled mine apart and I've been struggling for a week lol

[@heliflyer7]

You're very welcome, glad it helped!

[@kendalljoy22]

Hi keep up good work on your. Channel

[@SumProject18]

I was stuck on it for 2 weeks after I dropped it. Watched the video and it got put together again! Thanks!

Hi ! I have a video about star puzzle. If u wanna watch, i'll be happy kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6S9knZnfc6ll80

[@Hidihidihidiho]

Lol same here. I’m like I already figured it out once, someone else can show me how this time

[@greyboxx5173]

Thank you so much, my sister got one for her birthday i accidentally pulled it apart, this saved my butt.

[@heliflyer7]

Glad I could help, thanks for commenting!

[@bradbradford8115]

This works way better than the instructions given

[@SumProject18]

I know right!

[@reeshahaya9805]

Thank you! I bought it as a gift to someone and it got pulled apart. Yours was the only video on internet that helped!

[@heliflyer7]

You're very welcome, glad it helped!

[@petersenrex]

This solution only works if you have very loose pieces. The correct solution is to hold 2 sets of 3 pieces and slide them together.

[@legoninja3425]

Yes true

[@PopExtra]

yeah, wtf XD

[@nicolashenderson86]

Thank you, man. I've been trying for a long time. Your solution worked.

[@kannanmadhu]

very true!

[@2econd428]

I’ve been trying the 2 sets of 3 pieces for 30 mins never worked

[@SumProject18]

The sixth piece is almost impossible to get it in without jamming it.

[@sipsa8612]

YES

[@pezzygamez402]

the first time was ez but then i forgot the angle then it went all to heck

[@jkoeberlein1]

@@pezzygamez402 yeah I did last night and now i cant insert the last piece. Grrrr

[@x-chosen8454]

I did this by myself and then when i showed my family it would get jammed to

[@theresechristiansen9769]

@@jkoeberlein1 I find that making sure it's in the palm of your hand helps so you use your index and middle fingers to _gently_ pry the top pieces apart & then SLIP in that final (annoying) piece. Holding the whole thing firmly in the palm means the underneath piece (which mimics the 6th piece) stays really firm and the rest doesn't fall apart under?

[@justme0390]

Oh, _That_ is how it goes! LOL Spent an hour trying to make a cube out of these pieces!! Oh well.

[@SumProject18]

Bruh me too!

[@8hoho8]

[@phoenix0166]

I still can’t get the damn thing to work because the pieces won’t stop sliding around

[@cygnetseven]

Found my 30 year old puzzle at the bottom of a box unassembled. Thanks for the reminder. By the way, this works fine. My puzzle was a bit tight but it just took a little determination. Thanks!

[@heliflyer7]

+cygnetseven You are certainly welcome, thanks for responding!

[@laurelin4401]

Bless you. At my in-laws house and my son just dropped their puzzle on the floor and it fell apart. Success!

[@dahlyah]

Wonderful, I couldn't have done it without you!!!

[@heliflyer7]

So glad to help, Merry Christmas!

[@MD-ji7dh]

This isn't a real solution, just a hack

[@KidPersepolis]

Seriously, I can't get the sixth piece in. Poop.

[@heliflyer7]

+KidPersepolis Not sure what's going on, but apparemtly, there's enough variation in the way these are made, that they don't always fit same way.

[@PhillipJohnsonphiljo]

because this only works for his loose fitting block design, no others

[@manboymanboy3946]

That’s the point. You need another way to fit it in.

[@abtutorials5097]

Same

[@1RAMIRO]

KidPersepolis Gotta look at the side pieces....they have to run parallel and each from left to right....so you only have one close to you and the other on the outside by your dingers.....that allowus it to open more....then the sixth piece goes in balanced lenght ways but tilted side ways. Read this a few times and look at the video again. I hope that helps!

It's easy enough if you have one that is really loosely made like the one here, mine is precision made and not all wobbly :-)

[@tylerwroblewski2716]

It doesn't work for me, whenever I trie it the last piece won't fit in and when I try to pull it out a little to fit the whole thing collapses

[@heliflyer7]

+Gumachi LoL Sorry, I understand some others have had that problem too. Must be the way the pieces are cut.

[@NotAppIicabIe]

So I pulled mine out of the plastic. Cus I saw a cute craft idea to turn it into decor. It fell apart and now I'm looking up these videos to fix it LMAO

No, it works only at the time you begin to understand that the pieces are NOT all the same ! Then you have to try a solution, ican't remember exactly what but the fact is the pieces are all slightly different.

[@richw.6296]

Mine is more cube shaped, and the final piece is too big and the angles do not allow it to slide in that way. Two different people came into my office and solved it within minutes.

His/hers was loose. I had a hard time getting the sixth piece in but it worked out. Mine is different btw haha

[@richardchow4775]

This is not the correct way to assemble the 6 similar pieces into one. You're supposed to hold 3 pcs on each of your separate hands & slide them into position. In the video. You're forcing the last piece into position.

[@victoriatrabulsy4731]

Unfortunately my is still in pieces in a box, it’s been a month and I do not have the patience on attempting to put it back together. I still have PTSD from last time.

This only works if yours is loosely made or has been forcibly put together. Mine is very tight so this won’t work. I could barely even get it apart in the first place. I don’t think this is actually the correct way to do it
