Trapped ring puzzle/trick IMPOSSIBLE (not really)
***And another addition:
Wow. Thousands of angry and offensive comments. So:
Comments relating to this video, relevant ideas, and constructive conversations will remain un-moderated.
But, because there is no reasonable, intelligent person who would concern him/herself with wasting time to make an anonymous analysis of a person like me, if you do make a comment about me, here is what you can expect:
#1 Your initial (useless) comment.
#2 My reply. Matched to suit, insults and all.
#3 Your angry and even less relevant reply.
#4 I get the last word. All further replies are removed.
If you make a statement relating to my person, you are clearly demonstrating to me that you are neither reasonable nor intelligent; thus, you will become like a piece of meat to me, and I will use your pointless points for my own amusement and for the amusements of others. Seriously, think about this: We don't know each other. How is it fair for you to make judgments about me, when you know so little? Don't be that guy. Do you think I'm smug, arrogant, narcissistic, or pretentious? Well, unless you have a few videos with a million plus views, keep it to yourself. You would not believe the offensive drivel that leaks out of this place.
***The following was later added:
Secret spoiler comments are now removed, and there is now a keyword filter. The comment that makes me laugh is the "did anyone else notice..." type. Yes, everyone else noticed. In fact, the filter catches around 30 of these comments a day, and then there is the other 5 or 10 per day that I have to remove manually because so many commenters can't spell.
It is a bit sad that un-moderated comments get so bad. One of the most surprising things about it is how many of you talk without listening; it is not uncommon to see ten of the same comment in a row (because nobody reads what others say), nor is it unusual for me to read dozens of comments about a topic that is answered in the first line of the description. Sorry if it seems as though I am chastising you, because your having taken the time to read this is evidence that none of this actually applies to you.
***Original description:
Because of the cruel irony that is the way that youtube views are distributed, this video will likely go largely ignored, but the idea was this: remember that surprisingly popular pinball in a cube video? I figured that I should try to repeat some of its success by reproducing the formula a little bit (including, but not limited to, use of the word "impossible" in the title for views). I think, but I can't be sure, that this puzzle/trick is better by all measures than the pinball one. I'm not really sure, because I was never really fooled by this puzzle, because I designed it. I'm not trying to sound like I'm so clever, it's just that I don't really know how long this puzzle would have stumped me, because I've never been faced with solving this particular problem. Pay attention to the moment that you knew, for certain, how the trick worked. Often we just give up and wait for the solution to be presented to us, but it sure is satisfying when you work it out for yourself. For exactly that reason, I wanted the video to progress in such a way that it reveals itself ever so slowly (for those who don't spoil it by skipping to the end), which forces the viewer's brain to work at least a little towards figuring it out for themselves. Maybe I'm thinking too much into this, but maybe not. I mean, if a stadium full of people are going to watch this, I have at least some small responsibility to those people, in the sense that they should be engaged or be improved in some way after being distracted from their lives by watching it. Maybe if some of them learn the general idea of what an algorithm is, they didn't waste their time. Whatever. Maybe I'm not that good at it, but I just try to make videos in a way that would interest me if I were the one watching. Well, I'm sending this video public right now, and I am very curious to find out how well received this puzzle will be. Thanks for listening.

I'm going to put a wedding ring in this contraption and tell my girlfriend if she solves it without breaking it we'll get married. That'll shut her up for awhile.
Lol. She'd figure it out in 5 minutes and you'd be in shit's creek without a paddle. Great thought though for a proposal.
Might wanna make the center post as lotg as the other 3 if that's your idea
+dru. "You have to work to figure this puzzle out if you want to get married." Great.
+Dylan Juhan ha!
how to save your comment. i would like to use this kind of idea whe i propose 5 years from now. ill give her a puzzle with the ring on it.
Quite apart from the clever little puzzle, I really thoroughly enjoyed the "instructional video" of woodworking and building the puzzle. You have an unusually good instinct for instruction. The video is well filmed, and shows all the important steps in a way that both explains why you are doing them, and that demonstrates completely the steps involved. I am no woodworker, but I feel like I could indeed reproduce the puzzle by following the steps you demonstrate so well. I'm a tech writer, so I really appreciate well-done instruction and explanations. Thanks very much.
+garyzim That makes me feel as though I have succeeded, so thanks. But I will admit that it is not instinct at work here so much as it is practice. My early videos were awful.
Well said.... I really like it too.
+garyzim Yeah, I was just about to say this, but you seemed to have captured the idea perfectly. I'm tempted to go out and buy one of my own so I can cheese all my friends with it.
The first time I've ever seen a serious comment on a KZhead video, but yes I agree!
+garyzim While reading your comment, I couldn't help but notice the quality of your writing. I was happy to find out that you are, in fact, a writer. Cheers, to the beauty of perfecting an art - be it woodworking or writing.
why do you have a framed picture of David Hasslehof? 3:59
Why not?
My complements on the excellent video work and sound. The tool closeups, clear sound, and detail was excellent. I appreciated the wood working aspects particularly. This should be a model video for others doing you tube videos.
Wow, thank you. It's nice to get a positive message on this one. I get lots of hate over such a small thing.
pocket83 hi
pocket83 I found out when u made the middle one shorter then the others this is so brilant man keep it up
Wow... this has taught me a lot about just basic woodworking, and finishing stuff to look nice. Thanks! It's a beautiful toy!
+SuperDuckyWho And after perusing the description and comments I'm confused as to why anyone would go batshit psycho over this. It's a KZhead video, and a fairly interesting one involving good craftsmanship. If it was ACTUALLY impossible then it wouldn't be a puzzle, would it people? It would just be a thing with a ring in the middle. Wtf?
I'm happy that you enjoyed it. Thank you!
+SuperDuckyWho Yes, myself too, I wish I would have taken a physics class at some point, Great series of videos. Oh, by the way, every youtube video will have comments as desribed in the comment area. I cant spell so I will leave it at that.
Great video (both the trick and the build)! I am however, slightly concerned and disappointed by the number of abusive comments others have given (my concern being for the influx in insulting or aggressive comments over the years). I don't often comment on KZhead videos, but here I felt compelled to do so. These people contribute nothing positive whatsoever to anything. Their comments only serve to prove how puerile and offensive they actually are. I admire your resilience and resolve. Keep doing what you're doing; there are actually people out there like me who enjoy your videos!
Trust me, I'm glad you're out there. It is my daily hope that the normal, rational people are out there ~reading and watching~ but not actually responding. But I also hope that they agree with my rants for the most part, because I'm hoping that I am normal and rational, too! As for you: Not commenting often may be a sign that you _are_ normal and rational.
this is a great channel. i'm not really into woodworking but this guy makes it really interesting and entertaining. youtube should do more to make this community less toxic. youtube comments are infamous on the internet for being needlessly vicious for their own sake. tons of youtube users seem to come here just to ruin someone's days even if that person doesn't deserve it.
We should ask wild animals to stop eating each other as well.
Alex T That's a great philosophy- complacence! Let's just sit here and do nothing, and concede that the entire internet is just a playground for the recently pubescent to work out their primal frustrations however they see fit. I have a better idea: we remind each other daily, and by whatever means required, that parts of the internet are a public forum. You may like your town square filled to the brim with screaming illiterates running around shaking their dinkuses at you, but I like an atmosphere that is a little more conducive to creativity while I'm explaining a project. There will always still be places that you are free to go for your _other_ activities, but please, take it out of my workshop. Here we use sentences and decency, or else I will chastise you just as if you were misusing a utility knife.
pocket83 I stopped reading after "... or the recently pubescent to work out their primal frustrations however they see fit." Most of KZhead is powered by the prepubescent, e.g. PewDiePie. The internet is a crazy place mannnn.
I would have put in a little spring to keep the center post up. This would require a little extra downward pressure to open it. Thus, it would be more difficult for someone to accidentally stumble onto the soution.
the secret message was a funny touch
wait nvm
just imagine putting a wedding ring there and tell your girlfriend you'll marry her when she'll figure out how to get it
lol
Forever alone ;)
And if it takes her any longer than a minute or two, I'd be marrying someone else...
Despite all the angry comments, I found this video to be very interesting. It really goes to show how us humans sometimes perceive a problem as being impossible to solve because we expect that there is NO WAY the solution would be that simple. We go on trying to solve the problem using overcomplicated steps, to match our overcomplicated perception of the simple issue, while the solution is much simpler. Thanks for this eye-opener.
Thank you.
I disagree ...it only goes to show, how difficult it is to solve a puzzle ...when it isn't in your hands. I feel MOST would look at it, shake it a little, pull at the ring ...then lastly, start on the posts. I give this puzzle a difficulty rating of 5/10 - when in your HAND.
+Muhammad K. El-Mir You're describing a Gordian Knot, the famous knot that Alexander the Great cut with his sword.
Have you seen the japanese puzzle with the 2 balls and the ring? I would love to see you solve that without watching the whole video! When I was watching that I thought of you and this video. Title is 10 year old impossible puzzle.
SHARE H!S V!S!0N that video brought me here.
Philosophical description. Actually loved reading the whole thing. I liked the video simply because I enjoy seeing people craft things. I'm not good with my hands. I'm good at gaming. I've always wanted to craft though. Have a nice day sir.
Thank you! Please try some of my newer videos. This one does not deserve the attention it has.
The instructions were great. Thank you. The puzzle though, I thought was not a fair test of intelligence since, as you mentioned, the solver lacks a key piece of information. Unless if the point is to get the silver to think outside of box and test the strength of the device. But by that logic, breaking the device would also work. Am I wrong in that thinking?
+Barry Sabahat The key is to get the solver to pay silver for the solution.
+Barry Sabahat no, this puzzle could be broken and solved just the same as his "proper" method…they are one in the same.
Barry I also thought that it should have been a puzzle and not a hidden latch to remove the ring . I thought the piece was very nice but not much in the realm of mystery
+Barry Sabahat does it need to be a fair test of intelligence? also i'd argue that it'd be more appropriate to consider testing the middle rod is simply confirmation that there are no movable parts. that's much closer to attempting to test if the wood blocks separate than deciding to break them. it's not complex, it's simply about information gathering processes instead of information processing and analysis. at least that's my take on it.
+Sev Frost Hey Alexander the Great solved the Gordian Knot by simply cutting the rope with a sword.
I'm not 100% sure why KZhead felt the need to recommend this video to me. After having seen it, however, I appreciate that it did. It was interesting.
Thank you. I'm not sure what goes in to those suggestions. They've sent me to watch some pretty bizarre things, too. Also, I don't know why this video is getting so much attention, especially since I think that I have much better ones. Well, glad you liked it, in either case ;)
Agreed - I have since been watching a few more (the Four-piece tetrahedral cannonball puzzle being a favourite) and so you've earned another sub. The clinical dismantling of comments that are stupidity manifest is an added bonus to your videos.
Hahaha same happened to me -.-
MadeAUsername I was recommended animal popping and pimple mating.
stfu soner çağlar
I don't know why I watch this videos when I know I will never make these things. Lol
No clue what's up with KZhead recommending videos that have very little to do with a user's interests. Nevertheless this is actually astonishing woodwork, and the editing is absolutely great. Congrats for making something that I don't have much interest in seem so damn intriguing.
netflix is the same now. They're both obviously recommending based on money and business because the suggested videos have nothing to do with your profile or recent activity. I laugh at netflix because it'll be like "because you watched the original King Kong, we think you'll like these. and you'll see unrelated films like Sleepless in Seattle, Law and Order, Xfiles, Mission Impossible, XMen. Really?
I found your inspiration at 3:57
Wish I could afford all of your equipment
the moment you mentioned a magnet and how you were going to use it . Honestly I kind of feel gypped, I thought there was going something more to this, oh well .
Man, I loved this vid. I'm so glad it has barely no noise and you sound so calm all through the video. It's a shame I'll never get to make one of these lol
3:59 - Portrait of David Hasselhoff? LOL!

Your telling me you dont have a portrait of david hasslehoff in your workshop?
Don't hassel the hoff
+Monel Funkawitz I wonder why the frame is twice the size as the actual photo?
3:55 Is that a framed picture of David Hasselhoff...?
lmao I was thinking the same😂
The woodwork was like ASMR for my soul.
Great video and beautiful woodworking and craftsmanship! DH and the secret decoder message add-ins were fantastic. Keep up the imaginative and innovative work.
Your crafting skills are amazing. It was really pleasing to watch this!
mfjan12 I appreciate that.
Well. In terms of problem solving it's terrible. But you are a fine craftsman. And that was a tremendous instructional video. Very well made.
Ok terrible is facetious. Just to clarify
+Pat Maloney He's not wrong about the two forms of problem solving. And his puzzle did require experimenting to discover all variables involved, which is what you have to do for the second method he mentioned.
+baw0909 LMAO FAM CHILL
+baw0909 ok.
My 5th teacher from my old school had the horse shoe one, if you would solve it you get a prize but only like 2 or 3 people solved it
I'm not unreasonable or unintelligent, but that description seems a bit harsh and extremely pointless to me. There are idiots here. The world is full of them. Being harsh to them won't stop them from being stupid. Why waste your energy insulting them and writing long descriptions they won't read?
That's not an unreasonable or unintelligent question. The answer: probably because of how shocked I was at the time. I had no idea. Now I understand; the mindset of the average online video media consumer is one of anger, entitlement, disrespect, false superiority, and echo-chamber induced ignorance. In fact, most comments are so offensive, insulting, and illegible that I now allow less than 10% of them to be posted. Once a week, I scroll down and look for anything that makes sense, asks a question, or offers legit criticism- and out of a hundred I get a handful. They are also surprisingly predictable. The sameness of comments is startling. I can tell you now that your comment will soon have many thumb-ups for its neutral "let's all just get along" appearance, while this reply will go unconsidered. A sentence or two from my description tells you that I am a tyrannical narcissist who can't take criticism- that's all these people need to permanently make up their minds about me. And so, my rhetorical question to you is, why wouldn't you want to force such a mob to confront its own self-destruction? What you call "harsh," I call productive. The choice to remain ignorant _should_ be ridiculed. I won't allow it to get comfortable around me.
Good luck with that one, genuinely. The reputation of the KZhead comment section came about of the effort of millions upon millions of people. They worked damn hard for the title of "Internet Cesspool" and they won't relinquish it easily. Anyone willing to put forth the effort to stem the tide by at least a few people is much appreciated.
Thank you. Seriously.
this was so relaxing to watch lol
Yes!
I figured it out when you said how to do it
Lol.
I figured it out when I fast forwarded to last 10 seconds!
your a genius!
Jordan Reid YOU'RE a genius!
+3Vimages he wasnt saying he was a genius lol
I clued in on disassembly or moving parts when you mentioned additional information, but I hadn't figured out what exactly was going to move. But after watching the first two puzzles and listening, I didn't want to think the puzzle was as simple as it was.
Does everyone problem, no matter how simple, have a decided algorithm? Like the answer to this puzzle is to move the rod a little down and remove the ring. Is that considered the algorithm, or is it just...
Yes, exactly.
ah, ok. :D
Bored.In.California ? That wasn't me...
+pocket83 crossword puzzles dont have an algorithm
+Ben Bloch Do you follow a set system to solve said crossword puzzles? Or do you look at a crossword puzzle and say "I'll read the hints AFTER I fill in all the blanks this time."
good video but why do you have a framed picture of david hasselhof next to your work bench? 3:58
No answer.Must not be ready to come out yet.
I hadnt noticed that!!!!!! TOO FUNNY!!!!!
Daniel Hernandez The real question is: Why don't you have a picture of the Hoff on your bench?
Daniel Hernandez Who doesn't?!
Jokkl Shlokk I know i do
I really likes your video! I appreciate how you gave me the satisfaction of slowly figuring out how it worked while watching you make it. Plus, I loved the extra details :). Thanks for a great video
I figured it out the moment you said you made it. I didn't anticipate the magnet but I did realise the center post must be moveable. Though the puzzle is rather simple and I doubt it would have taken me long to solve it once I got it into my hands it does a great job at displaying the idea that not everything is as it seems. Well done with the production work, both the craftsmanship and the videography.
I'm watching this on an Easter afternoon in the comfort of a soft chair, some coffee, and a book on Rome. This is one of the most relaxing videos.
You can use this to keep your rings in one place.
You did a great job! I like the attention to detail as well. I could not figure out how to solve it, until you explained the magnet during the production part of the video. I suspect I might have never figured it out, unless maybe given the chance to hold and inspect the item in person. Even then I can not say for certain. Thank you for sharing this.
Pocket83, I appreciate the well-typed captions on this video. As someone who has hearing loss, the addition of accurate captions cannot be overstated as the youtube ones are frequently horrendous. I will be watching more of your videos in the future because of this.
I appreciate the appreciation! I'll type out a few more when I get some time. I usually wait until they get lots of views before I bother. If there is a certain one you are after, let me know. I was thinking of doing either the tetrahedral puzzle or the truncated icosahedron solution, but it's no laughing matter to type out 15 minutes of dialogue. Sorry for not being more on top of it.
While watching him around the saws, i found my self pulling my fingers way from the keyboard.
😂😂😂
lmfaoo
+MrBeard17 you are someone that should not use powertools without supervision untill you are comfortable around them ;p
AwoudeX I work well with tools. Its seeing people get their fingers so close to the saw thats uncomfortable, because thats when I've seen them come off.
Anyone else find themselves here once again after having watched this years ago at some point?
Omg yes
Seriously though...
+Milo Dowling I don't even know how, but you are exactly correct...
yyyaaaaaaaaassssss
yea, can you read minds?
how do you not like this? the guy is awesome and he's an amazing builder. so precise and efficient. seriously, what is there to get angry about?
it's a trick. that requires yiu to manipulate the hidden rid to do the trick. something you could devise from 2 minutes of holding it.
+FlyingPotato you*
+FlyingPotato not yiu
One of the most unexpected endings to a trick I have ever seen!!! Never saw it coming and brilliant woodsman ship. A job well done!

+TheJanuses HughAndLar lol...
Beautiful puzzle, you have great craftsmanship.
He really does. I've tried my hand once or twice at wood working, and I'm consistently in awe of his steadiness and deliberate movements.
I don't understand why so many people are disliking the video, I found it very fascinating and strangely satisfying. The way he produces his work so precisely is almost mesmerising. If it's about the description, then I'm not even going to bother to acknowledge your feelings. He isn't wrong, in fact I agree with pretty much all his points. His video, his rules. He can do what he likes, he doesn't need your permission.
Thanks. Most people don't read the description. After thousands of complaints, threats, and assorted angry messages, I think I now have a pretty good feeling why. Most of them feel as though I've been dishonest, because they thought this was exclusively about a sophisticated puzzle mechanism, but instead I show a simple 'how to' and then outline a general problem-solving strategy: the law of parsimony. They feel cheated, because they believe that they already _knew_ that. This isn't technically a true "puzzle," at least according to their personal semantic. This was just a selfish grab at views, and a boring one at that. Two things still disappoint me. 1) I wish they would realize that my channel is primarily about building things, and that this was meant to be a blank format for making more complex puzzles. 2) If the lesson is so obvious, why don't they all just realize it intuitively early in the video (and then leave), rather than watching the whole thing and then complaining. Bottom line: nobody likes to be made to feel dumb, even though more than half of all people _are_ dumb. And this video shows them all that. Also, I'm a cocky jerk that reviles rudeness and entitlement. *Statistical note: children, elderly, and the otherwise sick or infirm tip the balance on the Bell curve to easily satisfy my "more than half" claim. Most intelligence assessments don't control for those variables, so the 'average' is probably a standard deviation generous.
pocket83 You are a really intelligent person, and I admire that. I am very disappointed at the reactions you've received, and I hope it doesn't affect you too badly. This was the first video I have seen on your channel, and you've certainly intrigued my interest... Hopefully I could help you by sharing it with people who I know will appreciate your wonderful work. I believe the negative commenters feel threatened by your intelligence, as you aren't afraid to speak out against them and call them out. Don't be discouraged by them, let them entertain and educate themselves. It honestly shouldn't be that hard for them if they took the effort to complain.
I certainly appreciate your nice words and support. Check my back catalogue; I now have quite a number of videos, and some of them are pretty good (not necessarily the ones with lots of views). I also have a second channel, and the commenters there are great. I chase away the general audience from that channel with periodic videos about birds, train-tracks, children's books, philosophy, and any other boring but intellectually substantive material I can muster. Drop me a comment at some point and let me know what you think/thought ;) Also, expect hidden eggs like this one: kzhead.info/sun/ZMx6nrVvnaWJl4k/bejne.html
I was just watching customgrow420.... how did i get here?
I made one without the magnet and solid posts on all of them. There is no way to solve it but it sure drives people crazy.
that's what i was expecting when i clicked on the video. you did the right thing :D
easy there satan..
A small thing you could do to allow yourself to sneakily complete it would be to glue some soft layer (leather, cloth, etc.) over the magnet so it doesn't make a clicking noise when the rod slams onto it.
Eh.. The ring already clicks around with the bars regardless of the magnet, doing that would be kind of redundant.
IVIusicFiend What does the ring clicking around on the bars have to do with the sound of a rod smacking on a magnet?
+Volvary Because if you were trying to fool someone without them seeing the operation, say by holding it behind your back, the sounds of the clanging of the ring to the bars and the clanging of the bar to the magnet would be indistinguishable from one another.
+Brandon Burrows wrong different materials make different sounds
dfissell Well, yeah, if you're listening for them. Which is unlikely.
I found this video therapeutic and soothing to watch, due to your calming demeanour and awesome woodworking skills! Great upload👌
first off very good job on the overall craftsmanship. it looks gorgeous... since you asked i knew from the start that it either came apart or the post came out somehow. it was just too straightforward not to be. but i did not see the magnet coming and that was an elegant way to design it.
pocket83, I loved reading through all your responses to hate messages. You are probably the most grammatically correct, civilized, yet effective person I've ever seen respond to hate messages. Continue putting people down in a civilized manner, good sir!
Superb! I like your concise narration with clear videography. I learned several clever techniques that will come in handy for many projects! Also, you are correct about KZhead and the cruel irony of its rating / popularity system.
Those other puzzles at the beginning seemed harder, I had a feeling one of the tubes moved. Had I actually tried it in real life I think I could have gotten the ring out faster. Great job on the crafting of it, I enjoyed those parts most.
Cool. Just ran across this video. Wow, 4 years old. How did I miss this? Anyway, great job. I love the puzzle, and am going to make one. I watched the video before even thinking about how it worked. Not sure why, but it didn't detract from the enjoyment either way. It was fun watching the trick evolve. Figured out how it worked as soon as I saw the center hole on one side being deeper than the other. Solidified that idea when the magnet appeared. Simple but intriguing. This will be especially fun to see my Grandkids working this out. Thanks for doing this.
Lapse not in the human memory pertaining to the consumption of a fortified chocolate milk substitute.
oh
As soon as you pulled out the magnet, i figured it out
+king kazie same here i would never have thought of making the middle post shorter and using a magnet to attract it
The description is genius!(and funny as all hell !) The "puzzle"is more a mechanical "sleight of hand" , nonetheless a nicely made and assembled puzzle. When you were drilling the holes was when I twigged. ;)
Amazing craftsmanship. Your precision is admirable. Love your videos.
The solution of this puzzle was the equivalence of a third answer to a yes-or-no question.
Just use jet fuel and melt the steel beams
jet fuel doesnt melt steel beams
Indy :3 maybe it has some interesting chemical properties :) have you tested every single chemical used as jet fuel in existence?
Was that a twin towers reference?
Obi Wan Cannoli no
Obi Wan Cannoli yes
immediately figured the center post but I do appreciate how thorough and meticulous you are it's a very nice finished product
This was so satisfying and interesting to watch. Your craftsmanship is beautiful and it was very interesting to see the process you used to make it! (I also thought that the little decoder in the middle was cute and fun 😄)
I also like how you gave us the whole video to figure it out instead of spoiling it from the get go that was really cool and well thought through
I am starting to wonder if every KZhead woodworker has a framed Hoff photo.
how many others have you seen
rooster700rr ***** has one and I think I saw one in Steve Carmichael's shop as well.
Did anyone else notice I am making him laugh right now?
?
dragonfire 9 I read the description, a little bit of an inside joke.
Oh
+Flame-bird ha, i get it :)
+Flame-bird I got the joke.
I figured it out at the beginning but I liked watching the process, brings me back to when I did woodwork.
Figured it out as soon as you mentioned the depth for the middle post! Great job, impressed.
Hey man, this was relaxing and interesting to watch
;)
That voice was nice
The solution of the trick is actually very disatisfying lol. Nice woodwork though
Liked all the details of how you made the puzzle. Also liked the intro of explaining the different kinds of puzzle. Nicely done. Will look for more. Interesting that some people don't like this sort of puzzle. They feel it's a "cheat".
there's something about hearing your voice and watching you working that's really relaxing. Good video.
I like the secret that you put in
I think I'm going to start putting engagement rings in these just to make sure I'm not marrying an idiot.
Tim Johnson If this is the best test that you can devise for determining that, it's probably an issue that concerns her more. And how often are you getting married, anyhow?
Its a youtube comment. Don't take it so serious.
😂 Same
Tim Johnson Don't do it Tim.... She knows the trick already!
Very nice! I too enjoy woodworking and especially like these type of puzzles! Thanks , good Tutorial!
Your woodworking skills and precision are amazing. Bravo.
YOOOO I DIDNT KNOW BOB THE BUILDER WAS REAL I GOTTA TELL HANDY MANDY HE MIGHT LOOSE HIS BUSINESS
Lose*
You just physically hurt my brain, thanks for that 👍
this proof that some times the solutions to the problem, is right in front of our eyes, but we are so focused in trying to find the most complicate solution that we forget to try the most obvious one....
+Leonel Corona Thanks, but after 6 million people, it seems as though you were the first one to understand that idea.
Nice, good work! You have to remember, some can’t figure things out. When they have the answer, they feel it’s stupid because they could not figure it out. I love puzzles, and this one is good. Thanks for sharing, keep doing what you do.
My grandma had a whole shelf of this stuff, I spent a lot of time at her house, so naturally I found my way through them all after working at them for so long. She had one similar to this, but smaller. Maybe the size of my palm at the time. It's cool to see how it's made, it brings me back.
I'm no Einstein, but the first thing I would've tried is moving the poles.
lmao at the "hidden message!
I really loved the equipment's you have to make this puzzle, also I assume you are a professional in this skill. Whatever it is but I loved your workshop equipment's.
Your video was very enjoyable to watch, but it was your video description that made me subscribe instantly.
shouldnt you use gloves when gluing with epoxy?
Only if you plan on getting it all over your hands! All joking aside, it really isn't the end of the world if you get a small amount on your hands; there are far worse things to clean up/remove.
pocket83 I got epoxy on my hands once, it didnt come off for a week XD
Then yes, YOU should be using gloves.
+pocket83 nice vid kept me hooked :)
pocket83 XD
I was really bored. Thanks for secret message. :)
I know I shouldn't, but I loved your unexpected, highbrowed, rant as your video description. Of course I read it with speed using the bulking technique, but I understand where you are coming from. I used to do the same, but I grew wiser in the sense of realizing what/who is worthy of such an intellective response. You have a beautiful mind. I pray peace and blessings unto you.
I’m way late with I this post, but you tube just led me to your channel. I LOVE IT! Thanks for your time in posting so many awesome videos. I will make this puzzle.
It's funny how he gave instructions on how to make it when the majority of us don't have that crap to make it. Lol. It was interesting though.
I clearly never expected 8 million people to watch. Most of my videos get a few tens of thousands, and those are largely from people who also craft things.
Easy...Get a hammer
this guy gets it.
First instinct
i would have done the same
that's the logical answer
I like your description my favorite part was when you said they would become like a piece of meat to you. It was pretty funny to read. Also, the magnet was a clever idea. I could not figure out how to get that ring out at first.
Man you created a really interesting and detailed puzzle I would definitely want to purchase if it was for sale. Good job! ;)
I'm curious as to why you have a framed picture of David Hasselhoff...
I don't understand how there is so much hate on this video. There is nothing wrong with it.
Ikr

This is an amazing puzzle indeed. I know I will never make this kind of stuff because I do not have the tools necessary to do it. But still very amazing. Keep up the good work.
awesome! Puzzles are simply amazing. I used to be good at puzzles when I was twelve. Twenty eight years later, lost my abilities or maybe just need to be refreshed. But still these puzzles are so fun to work with.
You are very insightful and I thank you for that.
You are very kind, and I thank you for that!
I liked this video for the amusing description edits. Well played, pocket83, well played. 10/10.
Nice work, man! Really enjoyed your pace and attention to detail.
I really liked the flathead drill bit mod, I'll definitely be using that in the future.
