[@Codex_of_Wisdom]

If you ever want to make the puzzle worse: 1. No edge pieces. 2. Put that missing piece in a different random puzzle to give it an extra piece.

[@Uragani]

Okay but there's a subtle community aspect possible with that second one. If there were one double, and one missing, for every puzzle and it was different puzzles? The community who bought it could get in touch with who has their missing piece. You never give them that piece, obviously, but you'd get to know the person who has your missing piece, and you get to be someone else's playfully bitter rival/villain by keeping theirs! But finding your missing piece holder is, itself, a puzzle. But then everyone could like... bond over being both unable to finish their own, but also be THE reason someone else can't finish theirs. A nice complicated low-stakes chaotic friendly rivals who can brag about two other people ("Yes this puzzle piece is infuriating Ann of Harbor Oak, who I control the FATE OF. We exchange cookies for the holidays... and this hole is from Stan Dinkley, from Nova Scotia, THAT JERK, we're meeting up for a joust this summer about it".). Like that island that keeps getting the flags replaced (and good booze left behind for the next team). I'd kinda love that.

3. Make the pieces out of transparent acrylic with dots printed on the underside. 4. Print the rest of the picture on a thermostatic bimetal plate where you have to place the puzzle pieces to fill in the holes. At night, when the temperature drops, the bimetal will snap and eject the pieces everywhere, so you have to finish it in one sitting.

[@jpsimon206]

Please consider perforating the screwdriver rings. About 30 years ago, I broke my finger while wearing a cheap brass and stainless ring. The finger swelled enough that the ring had to be cut off. At the hospital they use a tool called a beaver which is disturbingly similar to a can opener to cut off rings. I guess most rings are golden and silver, soft metals. My hospital broke all six beavers and had to borrow two more from a different hospital to get my ring cut off. I believe I was in danger of losing the finger. all of the doctors and nurses were quite surprised, apparently these normally work very quickly. It was suggested to me that buying a ring of stainless steel was not terribly clever. I think it's a really cool idea. Seems like you could fix this potential problem by simply making a slight perforation at the narrowest portion of the ring.

[@beaconofwierd1883]

Now I sorta regret getting a tungsten ring :/

[@jpsimon206]

@@beaconofwierd1883 no joke. It was extremely unpleasant. I'm sure you could bring your ring to a machinist or a jeweler to drill two or three tiny holes in a line and fill them with silver solder. This would be functionally invisible while providing a weak point to cut the ring. The alternative, if the ring has a stone, have it Gypsy set. This is where the gem sits in a hole in the ring instead of in a bezel on top. The stone probably would not survive the beaver, but you would keep your finger. I have to tell you, losing the finger was not at all the main concern. Something called degloving will occur from the swelling, don't look this up if you have a weak stomach. It was so shockingly painful, I was begging them to cut off the finger. Apparently that's against some rule. To this day I don't have feeling in that finger. On the plus side, it turns completely White about 8 hours before a storm, so I got that going for me.

[@beaconofwierd1883]

@@jpsimon206 How much time do you have to remove the ring if you break a finger? Did you try to remove it right away and it was already swollen or do you have a few seconds to get it off before the swelling starts? Id’s probably just not wear the ring when I bike and such, but still, good to know if there’s a chance to pull it off or if the swelling happens while the finger breaks.

[@jpsimon206]

@@beaconofwierd1883 it was essentially instant. The break made it impossible to slide the ring off. Inflammation was bad enough to cut all circulation in maybe 10 seconds? Not even long enough for you to really take stock of where you are hurt. Probably a good idea to remove it for biking, but then again, how often do we break bones doing an activity where it is expected? Maybe I'm just unlucky, but I never hurt myself in the machine shop.

Then, I lost mine 😞 then replaced with a simple one from a pawn broker, and lost that too. I'm just no good at keeping rings on my fingers! My mum recently gave me my late Dad's wedding ring... I've stopped wearing it because I've left it behind at work when I've washed my hands after making stuff... Now, it's just for special! Coincidentally, today one of my Year 9 jewellery students presented an idea for a ring with a hex attachment for driver bits. We're using sterling silver and brass, so the hex bit would have little chance when used with steel-based bits... Stainless would be great, but much harder for us to work with... Anyway, I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel a few months ago and have been enjoying your work and your story (love your puzzle table!). All the very best to you and your team and the store! 😊👍

@@samarnadra Yeah, that's an option, but I'm not so keen on necklaces; they'd also be an on-and-off thing... another opportunity for me to misplace it! I like the idea of wearing it as a necklace on the outside of a collared shirt for special occasions, however, or a brooch even. Thanks again, Sam N! :)

I love that you used Dover by the Westerlies as the background music for the existential part of your video. I love this song and have really appreciated watching you grow and learn and create things! I'm excited to see what else you create!

It made me tremendously happy to see the jigsaw table you built actually getting used to work on a jigsaw puzzle!

Never realized the “g” which has a j sound in english is tied to the way the j in english has a “y” sound in latin. Its like all those germanic descendent monks translating all those latin books needed one more conference to sort out what letter goes with which sound

In the Netherlands we'd obviously know how to pronounce your name, but if it actually was Dutch we'd say "Yay" haha.

Hey, I have a question about those puzzles. On video you show a non grid, wacky design, but on a website it's a standard grid one. Which one is going to be shipped?

[@BeetaroniPizza]

looks like youd just get the standard grid design

[@ThePossimpibler]

As a mechanical engineer with a boyfriend who‘s a mechanical engineer I can say that chances are high for your rings to be engagement rings one day 😏 Congratulations! I‘m really excited by you creating the profession that fits you the best!

[@blindleader42]

Suggest to Simone that she offer a limited edition set made of tool steel. Might be really pricey but likely cheaper than the standard gold band with a chunk of carbon glomed onto it.

[@jlt131]

@@blindleader42 wearing a ring made of tool steel would be somewhat unsafe. if you get it caught on/in something, you're definitely losing a finger (this happens more often than you'd think - but at least with softer metals like gold they can cut it off you)

Oh kewl! Can I suggest 'version 2' of the calendar, using three colour LEDs, that cycle through their illumination colours when you push the button? That way you can track 3 things a day, not just 1. Also, have you considered re-engineering Truckla to make it more of a classic el-camino? I feel sure that you could market an el-camino conversion kit for the Tesla Model S :-).

Me and my boyfriend have been together 8 years in 4 days, if either of us propose, I'm definitely going to use these. They're awesome and way more unique than most engagement rings. Were not a flashy couple so these would be absolutely perfect, as it's got a more subtle feel ☺️ love you personality, keep doing amazing things and being a strong kickass women ❤️

I had this video playing while doing dishes and upon hearing the announcement, I almost dropped my plate to run to the computer to make sure I heard you right. I'm SO EXCITED for you!! I've been following your channel and work for a good lot of years now and it's been so cool to see how what you make has evolved, the folks you've gotten to work with and meet, etc. and this is!! Yo!!! I'm so stoked! I'm bookmarking the website and following y'all's Instagram immediately. I can't wait to see the future projects and products you mentioned! Congrats!!

[@Yvar183]

damn this sounds like an evil puzzle

[@Lugia_5.0]

I'm curious about the one piece missing from the puzzle. Is it the same piece missing from every puzzle or is it a random piece every time? If it's random, Could you technically just buy two puzzles and take the extra piece from one and finish the other? Edit: wait but now that means you'll have one complete puzzle and the other will be missing two pieces! 😱

[@sclumptuous]

if you buy 500 boxes, you'll end up with 499 complete puzzles! very efficient

[@Tesseract_King]

@@sclumptuous But that's only if you get lucky and have each piece missing exactly once! According to the Coupon Collector Theorem from probability theory, you'd have to buy, on average, 3400 puzzles before you got one puzzle with each piece missing!

[@5thearth]

@@Tesseract_King Does that mean you would then be the owner of one anti-puzzle, made entirely of pieces that you don't have?

[@shykitten55]

Observation/question: As you were building it early on it is interesting how the missing piece became apparent fairly early on. Do you think that was just "luck" or mathematically significant?

[@riversshadow9678]

I would say mathematically significant, assuming you start with the border pieces each time. There are lots of pieces on the border or near the border. There are very pieces near the exact center.

[@NielsLieman]

I just came across the video that made me originally subscribe to you. About 4 years ago I had discovered that I had a brain tumor and as you're familiar with the feeling, the first thing you want to do when you discover that you have a brain tumor is to watch anybody else that does as well and I thought you were just so cool building stuff and letting the world know that you were in this predicament. I have since finding the video gotten my tumor removed and I am now cancer-free. I just wanted you to know that I still watch your videos and I'm still here supporting you. You helped me when I was bored and alone and needed some entertainment. So I want you to know that since I'm not alone I want you to understand that you're not alone either
