How To SNOT & Co

[@doctorme4454]

It's crazy to me how creative you can get with legos! Amazing work!!

[@TheAuleBlocksmith]

Thank you! It's truly an amazing system!

[@dariodelfrate7399]

Excellent SNOT tutorial, good for beginners and experienced builders! I would enjoy to see more!

[@TheAuleBlocksmith]

Thank you, there will be more!

[@legomann4345]

Very thorough, Ive been looking for guides like this to buff my lego geometry knowledge

[@TheAuleBlocksmith]

Glad you liked it!

Nice thumbnail, love the detail there, and of course great video like always ❤️

[@TheAuleBlocksmith]

Thank you so much 😁

These ratios are the favorite thing about Lego, period. It’s actually kind of beautiful.

[@TheAuleBlocksmith]

@@acooldude3164 True! I didnt know about them for so long, but it's really a game changer!

[@Jankolli]

But those are not Lego...

[@TheAuleBlocksmith]

@@Jankolli True, most of my bricks I get from BlueBrixx Brickbars, however, they use precisely the same measurements :)

@@TheAuleBlocksmith I have good experience with GoBricks, but the pedant living in me needs to see 'lego' on full studs so I limit my alternatives to tiles, plates and bricks with hollow studs and technic. Color matching is remarkably good, although you might actually welcome color variation for old castles. PS: I really appreciate this kind of detailed analysis video's, you easily earned a like & subscribe for this one alone.

[@TheAuleBlocksmith]

@@diatonicdelirium1743 Yeah, I had that for quite some time too, but the greed for cheap bricks took over xD Thank you!

[@Rabble_Rouser]

Well laid out video. Clear and concise with great background music. Take my like and sub 😁

[@TheAuleBlocksmith]

Amazing! Thanks for feedback, like and sub :)

[@ConsiderBricks]

very good video! informative and helpful. thank you!

[@TheAuleBlocksmith]

@@ConsiderBricksYou're welcome!

[@LeidenPierce]

I have no interest in building technical mocs like this, but I find these techniques fascinating

[@empirate100]

Very nice explanation, thanks a lot!

[@TheAuleBlocksmith]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Klaevin]

this is why I gave up on bricks, and switched to Technic a while back. Unfortunately, all my Lego is still at my parent's house, so the cheapest way to get new Lego is the pick-a-brick wall at my local Lego store... which never has any Technic parts

[@TheAuleBlocksmith]

You mean you don't like the system? There are plenty cheap used technic pieces on ebay and elsewhere, if you want to get back to building and don't mind alternative brands, Cada got some relatively low price high quality tehnic stuff ^^

[@Klaevin]

@@TheAuleBlocksmith I just hate being off by half of a third of a brick, and being unable to continue further without starting over from scratch because I used a 1x1 brick with stud on side, instead of a headlight piece. As for CaDa, I got a set and they really aren't the same quality as Lego. being "99%" there just means that every hundred pieces, your pin won't hold and the set falls apart. I live in France. People here think that they can sell their 20 year old stash of parts for the same price as if it were new. The used market in general is abysmal, here

[@TheAuleBlocksmith]

@@Klaevin Damn, that sucks May I ask you when you got that CaDa set? I havent built anything from them so far, but I havent heard anything bad about their quality so far.

[@Klaevin]

@@TheAuleBlocksmith I got it around last Christmas. It's the i. Bot code robot (idk, I'm looking at their website) I got it at my local supermarket and I really have good things to say about it : it's way cheaper, the unique parts are really cool and I love how varied the parts are. But it feels like they use a different plastic, some of the parts alignments aren't perfect and as I said, the pins will randomly simply not hold. I work in product design and learnt about manufacturing during my studies and I'm really impressed with the quality and consistency of the pieces. It takes a LOT of investment to get to that point. I just won't be mixing them with Lego to make mocs. But I could definitely see myself buying from them again, if there's a set that catches my eye

[@michaelnurse9089]

You should let us where to get 180 degree bricks.

New sub here.

[@TheAuleBlocksmith]

Welcome aboard!

[@Vandueren5]

Great round up of the basics and more. I subbed immediately. Regarding the 1 + 1/4 gaps, you can fill those up with a hinge plate + tiles, but then you have the hinge itself protruding from the back.

[@TheAuleBlocksmith]

@@Vandueren5 Thanks! And you got a good point there, you can use the 2x2 hinge top plates and hide the hingy part, if the walls have sufficient thickness.
