A LEGO fidget build #brickbending I’d seen fidget toys like this, and I’d suspected I could build a (large) LEGO version. I used a four layer technique because my tan bricks were limited and I wanted maximum hexagons. Five layers would be sturdier, and just as fun. 😁 Also the smallest hexagon is under a LARGE amount of stress. I normally wouldn’t work that small, but I knew the whole design would look better if I could pull it off. An 11 or 13 stud side is much easier to build and has much less risk of stress lines or cracking. - For exclusive content, updates, and more, join our free community on Patreon. - For the full video (including the very satisfying twisting of this build) check out my YT channel.

The Great Wall OF LEGO #brickbending No this is not LEGO chocolate. And yes, these are the terrifying and dreaded reddish brown LEGO elements. They are notoriously brittle, but luckily for me they weren’t like that when they’re new. 😅 For exclusive content, updates, and more come join our free Patreon community: /brickbending For LEGO artwork: /shop #lego #legoart #asmr

The secret art of LEGO origami? #brickbending As the word origami means ‘folding paper’ it doesn’t exactly fit. Perhaps we could call this ‘brick folding’—one of the many lost brick bending arts. This build primarily consists of two simple patterns of 1x4 plates that are mirror images of each other. When you interweave them together with hinged connections they are able to tightly fold up, and then expand, all fairly easily. I’ve added extra bits around the outside edges just help foster the illusion of squareness in its compact form.

A very precarious LEGO build #brickbending 2400 standard parts—just two kinds of LEGO plates (part numbers 2540 & 48336). Insanely fragile and just barely balanced enough to stand. I actually didn’t think I could film its reconstruction, but extremely happy it worked out. Not keen to try filming this one again. 😅 For exclusive content, updates, and more—come join our free Patreon community For the full video check out my YouTube channel.

This LEGO build has a secret #brickbending This design deserves its own long form, stand alone video. It’s impressive, even though it’s relatively simple. Plus it’s made of macaroni bricks, which are their own special kind of awesome. 😁 For exclusive content, updates, and more—come join our free Patreon community For the full video check out my YouTube channel.

This LEGO build is staggering #brickbending There are SOOO many variations on this design—and many can become the foundation for much more spectacular builds. I call this particular one LEGO Sawtooth 16-8-2: 16 segments that are 8 studs long and 2 studs high. An inelegant, but technically accurate name 😁 For exclusive content, updates, and more—come join our free Patreon community For the full video and check out my YouTube channel.

This LEGO build is quite possibly perfect 👌#brickbending Holding this LEGO build in your hands just feels—extraordinary. It’s perfect. Smooth. Solid. And it’s made of nothing but 4x8 half round plates. For a full exploration of what this plate can do watch ‘6 Unnatural LEGO Builds’ on my YouTube channel.

An attempt to build this in bright light orange met with total failure (that color just lacks good clutch power). It’s all about experimentation and seeing what works. #lego #legoart #donut #torus

This is not what you think it is #brickbending This build is incredibly simple, satisfying, and just straight up fun to play with. Provisionally named ‘Spiral Circle’, it’s as much a fidget toy as it is a little piece of art. 😁 For updates, exclusive content, and more—come join our free Patreon community.

An indescribable LEGO build #brickbending Welcome to the green LEGO monster—or the LEGO slinky of squares—or the terrifying green LEGO worm? Or as it stands in the final iteration: a helical LEGO torus. If nothing else, it is a fascinating and borderline insane LEGO build.

This isn’t a bug. It’s a feature. #brickbending I once naively started building a 40 layer thick version of this design—but I soon realized the final build wouldn’t fit through my door. 😂 This staggered building technique is so underrated. There is so much more that can be done with this. For updates, exclusive content, and more, come join our free Patreon community. For the full video of this build, check out my YouTube channel.
