The cylinder puzzle is one of my favourite puzzles so far. The possibilities of movement are huge and the solution itself is very satisfying.
To start the cylinder solution, you have to line up both dials until one of the middle parts drops through.
Once you have the right piece through you clamp down on the dial pieces and rotate the three middle pieces anti-clockwise until a second piece falls through.
Then all you need to do finish the cylinder puzzle solution is hold the top dial and rotate the bottom dial until the second piece falls out.
Then simply disassemble the remaining pieces.
There you go! The Cylinder puzzle solution!

I always solve and re assemble on my own the first time. Then I come watch videos to learn what I did and exactly how the puzzle works lol. Great job!
I have just rediscovered the larger (and probably more recognizable) entanglement puzzles. These small works of art are a new discovery for me. I solved this cylinder puzzle quicker than I imagined I would but, reassembly was more difficult than the solve! Do you have a video that talks about all of the puzzles on the table behind you? I have several new puzzles coming just based on the boxes I saw in the background. Thank you for your detailed walkthrough!
15 minutes to solve it! And 10 to reassembling. My first puzzle like that 🤟
Thank you for making this video. Now I solved it after 6 years since this cylinder had been on a shelf. Now I started to teach my 5 years old daughter how to do it. Kudos man! 👏🏻 Subscribed!
Thanks! Glad I could help! This is one of my favourites.
Thanks for this excellent how-to. Others on youtube left me nonplussed. This was easy and clear.
Glad I could help!
Thank you. I took it apart and was able to get it back together by chance. My friend took it apart and I couldn't get it back and needed to put it away in one piece. lol
Glad I could help!
Awesome videos !^__^! Thanks for putting them out there and making them so accessible to watch and use. My son and I just got into the Hanayama puzzles (so far Trinity, Ugo, Dial, and now Cylinder) We both love puzzles in general and love to fiddle with stuff, and we are watching your vids together to help us out. I'm an avid toy collector, so me knowing myself I'm sure that I'll end up with most of what they make sooner or later - guess that means my son and I are going to spend some quality Youtubing time together ^,,,,^ Thanks again!
Thanks Joshua, I'm glad you're enjoying the videos! You've picked some of the hardest Hanayama puzzles there, Cylinder is one of my favourites. I'd recommend Enigma, it's hard but it's also pretty awesome.
@@RossDM Ha! Yeah, I go for the overall aesthetics with some legitimate challenging aspects - the UFO was the most trying for my patience, but I could only really be frustrated with myself - because of that it does force me to be in a much more meditative state and find my inner zen ^,,,,,,,^ Thanks again for all of your comprehensive videos - I know that it's a lot of work, but most things that are worthwhile are. I think that the worth of puzzles like these is more than entertainment if you let it be - in one sense you can almost convert life situations to the model. For example, if you are having a difficult situation in life that just doesn't seem moveable, look outside of the routine patterns and see it in a creative and unexpected way. Also, the metaphor could go into understanding deeper meanings and underpinnings below the deceptive and simple looking surfaces. I don't know, it was just a thought, haha!
@@joshuamorris4565 Love it! I agree, problem solving is an extremely important life skill. Those who are the best in their fields and succeed the most are usually the ones who apply problem solving and thinking outside the box to their craft. I appreciate the depth and the compliment. Thanks!
@@RossDM For sure !^__^! Oh yeah, I am going to pick up Enigma most certainly (I didn't realize that they made so many until I started researching them!), and Hourglass just came in today, so that's going to occupy us for awhile ^,,,,,,^ (H&H will be here shortly too)
@@joshuamorris4565 Good luck with the hourglass... hardest one in my opinion
The best video.
Love the tutorial! Just one question, how do you get the first pieces to stay in on the reassembly?
Thanks James. You just need to hold them quite firmly
Awesome video, I solved it without paying attention and was so lost on the reassembly lol. Thanks!!!
Thanks! Glad I could help
I just meddled with mine and likewise....it fell apart
Thanks this really helped me do this
have you tried the yin and yang puzzle by Doug Engel??--would like to see the solution done by you!!
I haven't! Looks pretty cool though
@@RossDM i got it apart but cannot put it back together!
finally got it back together--opposite of the video on utube--3rd and 4th part---you should try it !!
Today I got it. Managed to solve and reassemble it, but via completely different approach. Appears it has two possible ways of disassemble and assemble. What I did was to push one of the pieces in each direction. Then twist and pull the third. Reassemble works the same way reversed.
Yeah, that's one of the reasons the Cylinder is one of my favourites. It's brilliant!
I need help, my rings don’t rotate together and my triangles don’t rotate with the rings staying still. I think mine is broken
If I understand where you are correctly, I think that means you've dropped the wrong section down first. Did you manage to get any further?
im on the second step where I can push the piece up and down but the middle won't spin?
Have you got the right piece? It should look different at each end
This doesn't work for me 😭
My first hanayama
Awesome! You've started with a tough one (and one of my favourites)
What a great video,, I also have the radix, which is challenging even from getting pointers on youtube
Thanks Steve. I've not got the Radix yet but it's on the shopping list.
RossDM - Puzzle Solving can you recommend another good level 4?
@@SteveHofsaess Yes, the Dial is brilliant and the donuts is quite fun.
i cant get it
Which bit are you struggling with?
Took me 4 days to solve it ,but its my first puzzle.
Nice work! This is a very tough one, especially for your first puzzle
This is a pain I freaking can’t get the first piece to stay there no matter how hard I try
