LEGO Harbor Crane design & build, start to finish process & explanation!

[@JANGBRiCKS]

I do recognize that the video & audio are imperfect! New equipment, new processes, and I'm looking to do more complete documentation of my work like this in the future for those who are interested.

[@johnpolitis3107]

Its perfect jang dont worry

[@vitamin-3265]

i couldent tell the difference

[@glitchverse64]

No problem im excited for the change of equipment

[@zayslay8858]

Great quality regardless

[@johnpolitis3107]

If you want my opinion it would match better if you could find a crane in green or red because yellow seems to be irrelevant with the hole creation which is great and beautifully complicated

[@purple_sharpie9124]

wow. It's been a while for me, i grew older i guess. I got a job in game developing and saw you in my subscription. when i watched this video for the first time in a while i remembered a couple years ago when i watched so much of your city. I remember the first video on it. Wasn't expecting to see the face, great work man! I really loved your videos and its pretty cool how good at lego building you've gotten. I never really got better but that is clearly not the same for you. I miss sitting down and watching a lego review or a new episode for the city I really liked your vids, and honestly I can't stress enough how much you made me want to go out and get more lego sets or go to amazon and order the new lego ninjago movie sets or old ones. Man, you really are the best! Good luck on your future content because it clearly has gone places since i've last been here.

[@catwithabat7163]

The city for you probably went like from a couple businesses and houses to this

[@FergH0va]

I think I’ve seen every video on this channel. I don’t give a hoot about cranes. However, this is probably my favorite video you’ve ever done. The instructional and inspirational motivation while also delivering your family friendly content is why I subscribe here. Thank you.

[@pietro2546]

Lovin' seeing the thought process behind your creations

[@1000dots]

I love it. The lining up ladders remind me of the opening scene of 2010: The Year We Make Contact, where the two people are talking on the stairs of the radio telescope. I spent a long time when I was like 10 just obsessing over how it would all work with the stairs lining up. The crane has a really good rugged yet modern look, that circuitry/generator box looks perfect like it's housing specific equipment. My only suggestion would be a tiny little touch of the green on the cockpit section. It's fun seeing the whole process of the build, makes me want to build a crane :)

[@itzmaxplayz5665]

This video goes to show how much jang takes his time on his city on even small things for amazing detail and looks good job jang

[@trainboy7]

The crane blends in perfectly in your harbor section of the city. I like the use of the neon green parts along with that Bionicle arm piece. (at least I think that's what it is.)

[@e.tazzyman2147]

3:36 HE SAID IT! HE SAID IT!

[@Moki314]

The crane reminds me of power miners because of the green and style. This is an awesome style of video! I hope you'll make more in this style.

[@Dalekscientist]

Most of those green pieces are most probably from power miner sets

[@cooperquinn8897]

Dalek Scientist or the lava miners series

[@oboeshoesgames]

I was worried for that poor lime green Bionicle joint, glad to see you went with a different design

[@ItzStrykerr]

Imagine living in new Jang city

[@williampulfer-melville8536]

Would be Awesome

[@brunobricks8456]

THe Error it would be awesome!

[@Shrinksector24]

Um hate to be the downer but the houses would be quite small Jk good comment THe Error

[@brickspace8617]

I want it to be a real place

[@mindbuilder8768]

Just imagine moving the table , it would be an earthquake

[@mohammadnoor8031]

Wow! This city has evolved so much since the beginning and so has you channel... the city looks wonderful and so is your video quality Jang!

[@paramgandhi14]

Jang I just want to say that your custom content is amazing. I can sense a passion in your voice that I don’t really feel in your reviews(I still love the reviews too btw). Loved the build, can’t wait to see more custom stuff!

[@hamishhortic9739]

Jangbricks i was fascinated by this could you do more of these types of videos if you get time i love your vids so much

[@Dilly958]

I love the harbor it has so much detail

[@rexsoloman6874]

I love your channel JANG! I first found you in 2013 and have been consistently following your channel ever since. No matter what happens in the world, i can tune into you channel and just appreciate the simpler things. It's always nice seeing all the progress you make to this city no matter how small! Thank you.

[@seanlavoie2]

The narration, the editing , and everything else made the video perfect. If someone said do you want to watch someone build a crain I would hesitate to say yes, but I watched this straight through. The end build is very cool too. I wasn't sure about the video length, but I didn't even feel the need to skip or speed it up. This seems like the perfect formula for this type of video. Now it's possible some of the novelty will wear off, but it's the most engaging moc process video I can remember at the moment.

[@notdamon5307]

I really like watching his design process of this crane, and builds in general. Cant wait to see what else will be built in New Jang City

[@ieuantarran5838]

Real talk, the bit about not always being creative was really needed for me right now so thank you!

[@ZachAttack77TA]

Jang, I really appreciate you putting together a video like this. It's informative and helpful, not just for those of us who want insight into how you build, but for those of us may also be stuck on a Lego project in one way or another. Keep up the good work! Would love to see more videos like this.

[@Mick0Mania]

I am so happy to see moc video in such a long format. I really enjoy seeing the process and the thought process. I turned off my adblock and watched through a three minute ad about make-up because of how happy I was!

[@bribbru6265]

I love your custom builds, and this format is much appreciated as viewers can see the whole process of planning and building and not just the final result. I hope you will find more time to spend on your city, viewers are interested in custom builds nearly as much as they are in reviews.

[@mocmedia6179]

To be honest, I like the direction this video is going, I watched the whole thing. The way you walk us through each individual piece and process of the model and the development stages is great. It is indeed very inspiring. I will say, maybe some minifig-eye views of the crane at the end would be awesome! Thanks for sharing JANG, looking forward to seeing further development in the city!

[@EricAlainDufresne]

That clamshell bucket was part of the first Lego set I was given as a kid. Loved it then, love it now! Thamks.

[@motorizedmisfit-artist8535]

This is a great video. It shows that no matter you’re LEGO skill, building custom things just takes time. A lot of time. The crane turned out amazing. 👏

[@Dannyskates808]

This crane turned out to look really cool. I cant express how much I loved this build.

[@stevevantrigt5285]

This was a fantastic video! I really enjoy seeing the creative process and problem solving. Glad to see I am not the only one that gets stuck when starting a new project.

[@ewan.cartwright]

Loving this longer-form style, getting to see the thought processes and problem-solving as it comes together.

[@Karemaker]

I love watching the creative process of others. It's very inspiring to me. Thank you for this video, Jang.

[@slugbiker]

a privilege to get to hear your thoughts and watch you experiment with all the little design details as you create your new crane. thank you so much for sharing all this!

[@Fae-pu8uk]

I am always impressed at how you continue to improve your content. Just when I think you have reached perfection, you make it more enjoyable, more entertaining, more informative, and more interesting. Thank you, as always, for your hard work. It brings me joy. I really enjoyed the format of this video. Seeing a video about a custom creation AND one that is 40 minutes long AND one where you walk us through the process of a fantastic build seems like a gift.

[@chrisherd3233]

Really like the new format of the MOC creation process Jang. I am one of the few that prefers these videos to the reviews so looking forward to more!

[@vladimirchervenkov6949]

Thanks for showing us your thought and design process JANG! Really helps to understand what goes on in the mind of a MOC builder.

[@polarlicht4758]

Looks awesome!

[@jasonjtg21]

Loved watching the process. I appreciate that you showed us your process and the challenges you came upon. I build and take apart and rebuild and I agree it’s part of the process. I am making a space center ( a combination of the new space / rocket sets and I’ve built and rebuilt it three times already. Thank you for showing this and thank you for showing the process. So many people make videos and they show the end process without mistakes or discussion of the thought that goes into creating.

[@bdonaghu]

Hey Jang, I'm sure I'm not the first to say this, but I love this sort of content, experiencing the creative thought process behind your MOCs is always interesting!

[@MakoBlitz]

Jang i love this new format of you taking us through your building mindset rather than just progress updates! keep it up

[@nerffiend]

Absolutely love this style of video, the thought processes, seeing you trying different things, I don't normally watch things longer than 15 minutes but watched right to the end.

[@tlac4120]

Nice build! Thank you for taking us with you into your thought, design, and stability finding process. The format of the video is great. Suits the purpose well. Please do this again.

[@asjwood]

I really enjoyed the format of this video, it was fascinating to see the MOCs evolution and your process. The current end result certainly looks very proper to me. It's got a real substance that the placeholder just didn't have and to my eye it sits much better in your city!

[@teakr]

Loved this new way of showing your custom Mocs, it made the end result look 10 times more satisfying after seeing the process you went through. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into this video and all your others.

[@3458-s3q]

Honestly, this format is perfect for showing of the MOCs, i really hope he continues this style its informative and entertaining at the same time

[@MG-sy8pj]

Really enjoyable and informative video and the final product, the crane, is very pleasing to the eye and does look "right". It takes a long time and lots of readjustments to get that satisfying "right" look which is what I really appreciate about watching this and listening to your reasoning. It is reassuring to see a long time Lego builder and MOC designer with a large collection go through a similar process to someone like me, a farily recent enthusiast with a modest collection. Thank you!

[@joebracken5463]

I'm loving this style of video to be honest. It's like a mini documentary about the moc and creation. Cant lie I'd love to see this continued in it's own series hahaha

[@stephendajr1486]

I really like this type of video and would love to see more like it. I’ve learned that people enjoy lego in many different ways. For example; for a long time I thought everyone enjoyed building things from their imagination but, as it turns out, a lot of people enjoy building the official sets and do nothing else with the bricks. As a kid I always asked for the sets with the best pieces, e.g., classic castle, space, black tron, m tron, technic... to give me the versatility to build my own versions of classic themes I admired but wanted to make my own. For folks like me, I feel you hit the nail on the head with this particular video, as well as some others. I just came out of my second dark age so I’m learning where to find videos that cater to my lego demographic. So far, I’ve enjoyed your videos and Playwell Bricks the most. Hopefully this long-winded comment helps you just a bit as you endeavor to improve viewership across the board. Thank you and keep up the good work!

[@scunekt]

I really enjoyed this video, going step-by-step through your process of making a custom build is nice to watch. I always enjoy seeing your custom builds and whatnot, and this format is great. Hope to see more like this in the future, and more custom stuff in general.

[@davidcampbell2143]

Love this! Great to see the city again, but combined with you talking us through your creative process.

[@77martinv]

I love it, really nice to see the iterative process in action. I hope more video’s like this one will appear on the channel ... god job

[@gordduncan5859]

I like this format and appreciate hearing your thought process. Not bad for a first iteration Jang! Looking forward to future improvements done in a similar manner.

[@panpoop2756]

Now with new LEGO pieces you can make your arts more wonderful and yes I call it art cause it’s clearly your passion nice job Jang

[@DaveSangor05]

Awesome video Jang! I do LOVE the new format of the videos that you've been experimenting with this year. I think it's been some of your best work, and it's truly inspiring to watch your experimentation to try to make pieces that you wouldn't think work together to actually come together into something. Two thumbs way up!

[@gerhardoelofse6656]

Wonderful piece of work. Well done, Jang!!! Absolutely appreciate all the effort you put into keeping a balance - when to speed up certain processes and when not to.

[@oatflakes7262]

I really apreciate to see the full process and your comments. Great work!

[@leedesigner1977]

I’ve really enjoyed this video, JANG. I’m a fan of the exposed technic parts, but I know what style you are going for. Really like the outcome too. Cheers, Lee 🇬🇧

[@calebwade7244]

Awesome video, I love seeing your creative process, it’s always fascinated me, especially in other city Mocs where you reference or even show some of the different attempts, trials or ideas you have for your builds and how they inevitably create the final product. It’s amazing to see the effort and I can’t stress enough how creatively talented you are. It brightens my day.

[@aubin_agri]

I love that, it's very impressive! The best lego crane!

[@bryanjackson4103]

Love this kind of video!!

[@FujiwaraBunta]

I love New Jang City

[@brickspace8617]

I want it to be a real place

[@rojorailfan]

Any new train Mocs coming soon?

[@Sam-ze8uo]

This is a super cool idea for a new series and really interesting to watch. It's really helpful to find out your thought processes as well, for building my own MOCs, albeit with Studio, which makes it somewhat more difficult to just try different parts by trial and error. So thank you and I look forward to watching again!

[@chrishansen1944]

I really enjoyed this format of video and it was nice to get more of a look at how you get to the final product! I will definitely be watching any and all similar videos you post. Absolutely looking forward to seeing your thought process on one of your building MOCs.

[@sonnyloudon]

Really like the longer form video. Had to watch in a few sittings lol. But it was really cool to hear the thought processes and problem solving. 👍🏾👍🏾

[@YensR]

Love it, both the crane and the process video! I had begged in the comments for a talk-through-build of a MOC from you and this is just soooo good, thank you! I don't even know what you could change, apart from doing more of these :D

[@zayslay8858]

Good Morning, Lego City!!

[@vys_are_hectic5291]

Wow nice job 👍😊

[@ryana6409]

Love the format. It’s great seeing your process and what you’re thinking. Haven’t seen this since the lazer tag. Hoping for more like this.

[@MayoHosko]

I think this is your best custom build review video style yet Jang. The only thing off about this video was the audio which you are correcting everyday

[@_LLevi_]

Really nice crane! I like it! It is something different. The piecee that you used give it cool look.

[@dist0rted320]

I would love to see more of these types of videos, I love watching the speed builds of your MoCs.

[@johnvocatura]

Yet another brilliant build. Jang, thank you so much for all that you do. I have been loving my return to lLegos at this point in my life, and your videos make it so much better.

[@puppetguy8726]

Decent build and the play functionality seems excellent! Quite a different video than we're used to, but I like it! 😀

[@battlefieldcustoms873]

THIS this is what I want my channel to be. Thank you again for this Jang. inspiration and confidence!

[@adamb2619]

I miss these videos. I love seeing your city progress!

[@nothinbutbricks2884]

Hey Jang! Loving this new format and the new crane! I’ve always wanted to see a format like this and it’s very interesting, so thank you! I hope you do more videos like this! 👍

[@matthewbrooks9502]

Jang, thank you for creating and posting this video. Followed your posts on this of course through Patreon, but this is exactly the kind of video I personally had hoped you'd make - I love seeing the build process, and hearing your thoughts and decision making as you go along; not just an end summary (particularly as it comes to full-out custom building. I look forward to hopefully seeing a lot more of these as you move forward with more stuff for NJC!

[@SaraStarBricks]

It's always great to see some of New Jang City again. That's how I found your channel in the first place. Your city is one of the best. :)

[@goodoldozzy5731]

When is the rebuild of the zoo happening?

[@bt1234567892010]

I thoroughly enjoyed how this was presented, wouldn't mind seeing more vids like this in the future.

[@jrosenberg9932]

I would love if you did more videos like this. I like seeing your build and thought process.

[@guleri]

Thank for showing us this video. It was very interesting to see how you work when you build your mocs.

[@trapinz6242]

Yay comments!

[@astrorick2910]

A second arm facing backwards as counterweight would help to get rid of that excavator look. Great format, I'd love it if you could do more!

[@afrotitus4553]

Very cool crane! And I also love your dock.

[@Bookworm-dk5hq]

great stuff! The city vids are by far my favorite on your channel, would love to see more of your work on the downtown area.

[@bossmonster3319]

I like this quite a bit, the format is great. It is good for someone like me that builds a ton of sets, but want to do some custom. I don't know what the process is and am not sure how to get started. So this is great. Thanks!

[@juliussteiner4714]

please do more of this style of video. I found out that I really like building my own MOC listening to your building process.

[@NickBarrett]

I love seeing the creative process on display! Thanks for sharing your process!

[@kytexgd1463]

Love seeing your custom stuff. That’s mostly why I subbed :)

[@legomania.8210]

Really great build, it looks fantastic! I like the format you did for the video, it being a long video can be daunting sometimes but in terms of seeing the whole process and hearing the thoughts behind various design choices it definitely makes it worth it.

[@dnhannes]

This was extremely enjoyable AND educational. I would love to see more of these! (And more of New Jang City, but I'll be patient 😉)

[@PuppeteerGaming]

I was so thrilled when I saw you use Bionicle pieces on this! Great MOC as well!

[@pjtheprodigy]

I love this video so much. I've been feeling a creative block for a while, but this video will get me out of it! I always wondered how JangBricks builds all his amazing things, and now I know! Thank you JangBricks! Keep up the amazing work!

[@wellnix4641]

New moc nice 👍

[@mattstrott753]

Thanks for this look into your thought process and how you go about tackling the creative process. Your videos brought me back into lego and have me starting to try and create some things of my own. Truly an inspiration.

[@woolseym]

This is awesome Jang, it was nice to see you get back to doing some MOC work. PS would love to see the mountain again

[@jkirl]

maybe some health and safety lights(not actual lights but trans round 1x 1) on the crane especially a red airplane light on top style thing. also using the grooved bricks on the side you could slide the seat back and forward sitting on a plate.

[@barhook7513]

The crane looks awesome. Love the design of it.

[@sauvanto9316]

Love this new type of content! Really makes us appreciate the time and effort that goes into your MOCs!

[@Unimportant]

I think it looks really good and I love the functionality of it. I do agree that the two bars are applying too much friction. It just looks uncomfortably close to coming loose off the platform when you adjust the crane at that joint and you having to hold it back with one hand. I still like it a lot, and you surprised me with managing to work in the red/green color scheme that I initially thought would not work.

[@sawyerklegr]

YES!!! Custom stuff! I am so happy right now 😍
