When LEGO bricks get seriously twisted

[@BrickBending]

Thanks to everyone who came to the video premiere. It was a lot of fun. 😊

[@theprotoduck]

how many bricks it you use?

[@beas1098]

He used 2816 I believe

[@axel4320]

Love the thumbnail change!!!!!

[@30_bees14]

I like ur vids

[@Bob-zm8xj]

This looks so illegal

[@matesafranka6110]

What I love most is how the solid color makes the structure look completely homogeneous, but then the light sweeps over it and reflects off of the individual bricks in almost a scale-like or pixelated pattern, it just feels so unreal.

[@MergeMechanic]

Yeah, I was saying to myself the whole video about that I love the way light reflects off of low-poly things. Of course, this usually takes place in video games, but also in real life. Like the indentations in a door, or shattered glass on a bar's floor(wanted to say "..., or the blades of grass on the forest floor, neither of which are very low-poly. 3d prints- however, are usually more like this. Juuuuust wanted to make a little rhyme :) ).

[@jaredlehosky5479]

It really reminds me of of the EMP in seattle

Pixels. Mmmmmm. My eyes feasted well.

[@Bellinose]

This is beyond illegal, and very impressive. The inside shots are mesmerizing!

[@TheMulToyVerse]

I only recently learned what makes an “illegal” build for LEGO; but isn’t that specifically for like competitions and featured build events? When it comes to stuff like this I can’t imagine that even the diehards are gonna make a fuss… … … actually never mind; when I was watching the first part I recall thinking aloud “and a thousand Master Builders are screaming in unison ‘you aren’t supposed to strain the bricks like that!!!’”

[@YourAverageCringeYoutuber]

Bruh Lego has a warrant for this guy’s arrest. On a international level.

[@Goldstandard_1]

​​@@YourAverageCringeKZbinr you are mistaken... On a galaxy level

[@UnoriginalElephant]

​@@TheMulToyVerse From what I understand 'illegal' just means you should avoid it if you want the bricks to last because it can damage them through undue stress. Sometimes that doesn't matter as much as doing something cool 😊

[@Sean_Piper]

The inside shots make me expect to see James Bond firing at me from the other end

[@jcbro86]

I think this is one of my favorite pieces you’ve made. It really looks more like art than a Lego build.

[@BrickBending]

Thank you.

[@janehates]

To be honest I’d say it and a lot of other things on this channel qualify as art. They push the boundaries of what’s possible within an outsider sculptural medium (LEGO)

[@tegirvaru]

it always starts out so simple, with a piece here and a piece there, then it just turns into such amazing art. i love the reflection and texture, and the sweeping curves. always so beautiful.

[@lordicarus8807]

It''s like he wants to show how a ton of simple things can create something highly complex. Kind of like in a computer...

[@DanksForNothing]

This is art, I would go to a museum to see these pieces

[@FallafelWaffle]

This ain't even illegal building techniques anymore, this is a lego felony 😭

[@OfficiallySnek]

Building sculptures out of LEGO is like unlocking the inner child architect in all of us. Who needs an IKEA instruction manual when you have a pile of colorful bricks to create unique and magnificent sculptures? Now, if only LEGO could solve our real-life building problems just as easily.

[@saucepan300]

imagine if you see a destroyed building and a few weeks later the whole left side of the building is just colourful legos

[@luca_cef]

@@saucepan300 there are some buildings like that in I think Germany or Denmark

[@MrDJ71940]

Make giant metal Lego for building 🏙 and 🏢

[@Joe_for_real]

These videos are always a lesson in machining tolerances. You can get it close; sometimes damn close, but it is never perfect... And when it's not, this guy comes along to turn your tower into a spiral. It is a good lesson for engineers.

[@reiterg43]

The simplistic magnificence of this build made me order 1500 1x2s to build my own.

[@kormagogthedestroyer]

This guy is really getting some good use out of his cloning machine

[@SafeNebula11644]

All your builds never fail to amaze me. I love these so much, I'd put them around my house for decor

[@3snoW_]

2:17 - "I'd like to order 2816 2x1 blue bricks and *four* 1x1 blue bricks please"

[@GodmanchesterGoblin]

Art! The tipping point where the resulting shape / visual becomes more important than the materials the object is made from. This was stellar brick bending.

[@tnt-boom]

The fact it rolls is surprising until you think about it. Also why did I feel like the bricks were going to break?

[@mikepetersen2927]

Very impressive! As usual, the repeated doubling of the primitive assembly leads to a surprising shape, while making for a succinct video presentation. Each of the towers you built appears to be just shy of a complete half-twist after 5 doublings (32 copies of the primitive), independent of the number of sides. I'm curious if I'm mistaken, and how many more layers are required to complete the half-twist? Also, the camera shots down the tubes are awesome, and it's always good to see caveman-for-scale! 😎

[@BrickBending]

I haven't done the math, but each type of twist covers a different percentage of a full rotation. There are many additional variations possible as well. I've just scratched the surface.

[@gerrita4924]

The blue sculpture reminds me of skyscraper designs like that of the Evolution Tower in Moskow or the Cayan Tower in Dubai

[@gerrita4924]

And of course the Shanghai Tower

[@rebecca_jones3412]

It will be so mind blowing that that one vein in your brain explodes from the exposure of what had blinded you of such mind blowing lego builds.

[@timothywomble3335]

Wow, there's something about this one that strikes me as "beautiful architecture". Excellent work, despite this being one of your simpler builds.

[@Thrustql]

Its a real tower in dubai

[@InfinityBS]

The way it reflects light is absolutely mesmerizing.

[@FourByte_Gaming]

This guy will forever be one of my comfort youtubers🥰 God bless youtube

[@graydonholowachuk1537]

2:33 Nah man that's crazy, your videos are so cool the way you bend mere Lego bricks into magnificent structures, Respect.

[@keiiko]

when you think it wont get any taller for the 4th time, he brings two more with different shape and color :D love it

[@kallethen9389]

Inside the blue sculpture at 2:35 really gives me flashbacks to the Forest Temple in Zelda OOT.

[@okayolamax2min345]

Projects like this ought to be headline news.

[@ФАБИ-111]

It looks like a modern skyscraper, I like it. 😃

[@ahchiu9]

I love how the lights reflect off of the bricks! It's like bonus flair!

[@BlameItOnGreg]

Definitely some of the most beautiful forms on this channel!

[@dugganater]

This man is very dedicated to showing nothing but his arms and hands

[@ShinjiSixteen]

The inside shots were literally jaw dropping for me. Incredible!

[@HelloYesAmWoman]

I have been binge watching these videos for the last 2 days and they are just proving to me that the universe could be recreated using only Lego bricks. This is insane

[@GameEsthetics]

Adding the previous amount of blocks is always so satisfying to watch

[@mothatruckaXD]

Me baked af every time he doubles it: 👁👄👁

[@BryndanMeyerholtTheRealDeal]

I wonder if this is what Penrose feels like, but there should be Lego in a material that can handle brick bending and not be ruined afterwards.

[@arigamer1923]

I seriously believe that, if given enough bricks, this man would make an entire building out of legos, and then make a non Euclidean world out of the spare parts

[@DrBazinga_]

So many lego pieces have probably been broken from these videos

[@nonsense618]

If I were watching a sci-fi movie and these things were just randomly rotating in the corner of some room I would not question it

[@brickfoxx1605]

It's all the brand new bricks you use. New Lego, your building skill, a little lighting, and viola! a masterpiece.

[@BrickBending]

A few scuffed up bricks made it into the build at first, but they were really easy to spot and remove. I didn't want anything to interrupt that amazing surface. 😊

[@lego_queen3]

You could make a really neat skyscraper for a Lego city with this technique! I wonder if they make 1x2 bricks in metallic colors? That would look really nifty!

[@justin2039]

1x2 plate with teeth is the only metallic I see that should work. It'd get prohibitively expensive quick.

[@justin2039]

At .12 each, but as plates they'd spiral tighter and the teeth would be an interesting touch

[@vanadium163]

The insides of all these looked SO nice! Super satisfying patterns!

[@FlamaAce]

There's a tower in a roundabout that's just like the first sculpture in my brother's city, It's shorter tho, but It's still really cool to watch as you go around It!

[@epicKerBallze]

is your brother by any chance from the uae

The inside shot is trippyyy!!!

[@fassifern]

when you have enormous amount of bricks and patience, you can do just about anything that imagination flows. I have none.

[@anirudhpuranik5222]

Its mind blowing how he even thought of such ideas, that it is possible to make such things with Lego. Hats off to your creativity!

[@thomasrosebrough9062]

Me watching: okay that's good that's ... that's that's probably enough that's... it's good, it's... okay that's *good* but it's probably *en-...* *OKAY THATS ENOUGH SLICES*

[@discipleofthelorentz]

They do blow my mind, I have no clue how you learned the powers of a brick bender. What they don’t do, is amass to a true macaroni build.

[@xxPenjoxx]

You're back!!!! Welcome back, mind blowing video for sure. The tunnel views were awesome 👌

[@thomasthemtman]

Excellent roll of the orange tower 😁👍

[@rruthlessly]

I really love that these are made with such a humble, ordinary brick. What we call a two-ie in our family.

[@thebreadster1500]

Actually gorgeous. They should make a set like lego but for art and/or sculptures basically!!! Its so fascinating!!

[@trellsparta9079]

Somebody come hire this man to work for the official Lego creators

[@oddpoppetesq.3467]

You are probably the sole reason LEGO are still in business!! Like how many pieces do you have, I thought I had a lot, but damn my collection looks pitiful compared to just what you shown here

[@paxtoncargill4661]

It looks like what a year 1 architecture student would make

[@Adayintherain]

at what point will this man learn his limits

[@jordanfish]

Absolutely brilliant. With a little extra rigging I could see this incorporated into a lego city as a postmodern skyscraper!

[@ScientObject40]

Every time I thought it was done, he kept adding more on top.

[@Qlipphoth]

The first one reminds me of that weird Prism thing from Evangelion. It looks so cool. I love it.

[@Friedslick6]

I'm always very satisfied with these videos, but I will admit... I'm glad it wasn't another wheel. Thanks for sharing!

[@CMKOFI666]

There should be a new lego series - lego sculpture! It's amazingly beautiful and aesthetically pleasing

[@blacksun1594]

[@gamesforwin2292]

outtakes where parts snap would be cool, like a compilation

[@deeannhansen1469]

[@geo-fry6372]

Those inside shots look like math rock album covers

[@overripeschnitzel]

my anxiety shot straight up when pushing down on the tower without holding the middle or anything

[@bucketofparts]

Incredible. I know this is not really your thing, but how amazing would it be to build this kind of thing with gray, stony bricks and put windows in it and make a gnarly wizard's tower?!

[@kiraines6388]

man. you broke the limit of lego

[@CCINOXX]

This looks like it would be a really cool looking sky scraper, dunno how safe it'll be though

[@Jlud_plays_games]

Those builds louder than my knuckles

[@BrickBending]

They get a lot louder

[@Jlud_plays_games]

Im sure 😂

[@KingMako30]

Suddenly doubling the number of bricks, doubling the amount of work put into the entire project thus far, will never cease to be funny. Can't wait until we get 20 doubling sequences in a row, completely encasing the Earth in Lego.

[@BrickBending]

Now that a serious long term goal. I'm on it! 😂

[@M1551NGN0]

These Lego builds still have less twists and turns than my life rn....

[@dranorter]

Imagine if this channel was someone's only intro to lego.

[@dranorter]

"Oh, the twisty plastic bits? For making circles and stuff?"

[@lordicarus8807]

Imagine a real life building like that. Made of bricks and with a victorian style. I would look so much like something out of Harry Potter!!!

[@triciac.5078]

Wow. These are just gorgeous.

[@bigsmoke44gaming44]

It’s beautiful🥹 These pieces of art also remind me of those screw-like pasta (fusili) and made me a little hungry 😳

[@Deadonv]

Im extremely happy with the result of the end i busted out in joy literally seconds of screaming

[@youngyougurt9056]

Double it and give it to the next person

[@miragedeling7736]

These remind me of the book fair when they would sell the long eraser

[@brennanruiz1803]

What blows my mind the most isn’t the build, it’s _where did you get so many identical bricks?_
