Going down the LEGO rabbit hole
I’ve been offered paid collaborations for all sorts of crazy things, but this one was truly intriguing. If you haven’t heard of the rabbit r1 yet, go check it out: shorturl.at/tESV0
And while you’re there, check out their amazing world of AI rabbit companions that live in their OS. Their style and design caught my attention. And although I haven't had a chance to play with the device yet (it was officially released 3/31/24) I genuinely think it has amazing potential, and I've pre-ordered mine.
But what sealed the deal on this collab was that rabbit wasn't looking for a LEGO replica of the r1 (which I would have turned down). They were looking for something inspired by it. Throw in how geometric their rabbits are, their concept of the ‘rabbit hole’ in their OS, my own (tempered) optimism about AI, and the fact that caveman literally begged me to do it…and I was sold.
My friends, I give you the r1 rabbit in LEGO bricks. It was a journey, but ultimately caveman was got what he was after.
Piece count: ~3,500 LEGO bricks/plates/tiles
Dimensions:
- 25.75” X 25” X 10.5”
- 60.5cm X 65.4cm X 26.7cm

This video had immense editing assistance from Emma Sanders. I could not have made this project work without her amazing skills.

Pushing LEGO to its limits
Переглядів 300 тис.Місяць тому
First-I both love and hate these builds-but I’m obsessed with them. If you’ve ever attempted to use ‘incomplete connections’ you know how fascinating/frustrating they can be. The 1x6 ring came together relatively easily, rolling around in my studio for more than a week before filming. But when I took it apart… it just didn’t want to go back together. Fail after fail after fail. (There’s an engi...
3 fragile and illegal LEGO builds
Переглядів 325 тис.6 місяців тому
These builds are the mega-sized, and somehow much more fragile sibling builds of a simple design in a previous video: ua-cam.com/video/Y9ruALhxJgs/v-deo.html Illegal building techniques come in many varieties, and some of them can actually make your builds much stronger (due to the stress they contain). These incomplete connections do the opposite. There’s very little stress on the builds at al...
A small but VERY illegal LEGO build
Переглядів 453 тис.7 місяців тому
In full disclosure, this build is definitely difficult in that final step of assembly. The alignment of the plates must be close to perfect, and even then there’s a lot of struggle to force the pieces into place. The fascinating thing is that ultimately there's no stress in this build these are incomplete connections. So in the classic sense this build is VERY illegal, and yet the bricks are 10...
You'll never guess what I build with this
Переглядів 186 тис.Рік тому
A continuation of the theme of how a single type of LEGO brick can create something amazing, unexpected, and beautiful. This build definitely fits that bill. I'd love to find a great name for this design that does it justice, but the shorthand I can't keep myself from using is 'macaroni sun', and at this point it has stuck. This original art piece is currently available for sale: brickbending.c...
When LEGO bricks get seriously twisted
Переглядів 149 тис.Рік тому
Sometimes even I think I’ve exhausted the interesting possibilities in certain bricks, but then builds like these happen and I’m genuinely shocked at how simple, and absolutely astounding they are. I suspect there is no end to the amazing builds yet to be discovered-and I will keep trying. : ) For the short related to this video: ua-cam.com/users/shortsxOdIy8LxtK8 How to support Brick Bending: ...
Pushing LEGO wedge plates to their limit
Переглядів 3,7 млнРік тому
This is a similar theme to a few of my past builds, but taken to new level with A-shaped LEGO wedge plates. As the outtakes at the end showed, it was challenging getting that final connection without making the build longer. But the longer this type of build, the more 'play' it has within it, and the less satisfying I find it. I'm always striving for the stress limit a given build can take whil...

In a collaboration with WLWYB we've created Brick Bending ornament kits: wlwyb.com/shop/ Each ornament kit contains 102 plates: 1×4 plate (60), 1×6 plates (42) and can be used to build multiple designs depending on which you choose. 0:05 - 4 point snowflake: 1x6 plates (24) 1:13 - 8 point star (4 and 4)*: 1x4 plates (48) 3:20 - Simple 5 point star: 1x6 plates(15) 4:13 - 9 point star: 1x4 plates...
The magic of macaroni LEGO bricks - part 3

The magic of macaroni bricks continues: Part 1: ua-cam.com/video/GBFMjpEGBDs/v-deo.html Part 2: ua-cam.com/video/GBFMjpEGBDs/v-deo.html One interesting thing to note is that around the 1 minute mark you can start hearing rain on my roof. Rain here in Portland Oregon is not a remarkable event but it seems crazy that in two years of filming I can't remember my microphone ever picking up the sound...
When LEGO plates squiggle
Переглядів 40 тис.Рік тому
Many more builds using the A-shaped LEGO wedge plate (part #15706) will be coming, and you've already see a couple: ua-cam.com/video/RQ9bnQgb-O4/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/TL_4ZwsIpWM/v-deo.html This is just another couple of iterations on the LEGO donut theme which I never tire of. The smaller one is fairly fragile, and fairly rigid. The larger one isn't very structurally sound, but it's fun....

When LEGO bricks utterly surprise you
The result was interesting, great flex. But it didnt blow my mind, maybe I used to get out more.
this guy knows the secrets of the universe
Very clever but I was underwhelmed by the result
0:10 is where I would run out of pieces😭😭😭😭
Ok cool
I feel like I'm watching a Saw movie
1:55 what the hell man, I was nearly asleep
Ouch, my brain
what the fuck…
Wearing gloves like he's committing some sort of meticulous murder.
That's absolutely not origami but it is absolutely awesome
Samsung: O.O Me:
I'm ready to buy it
That’s illegal
Wow
Fucking Deja Vu watching this💀💀💀
But why? 🤔
Bro’s only ability is illegal building techniques
Bro why would u make iy stand up
"Lego Paper Folding?"
That orange thing is cheating.
This was just more serotonin than my OCD little brain can handle...
Forbidden
Each time it got better
Ah yes, the legussy.
Fucken LEGO. Every time...
This is not origami
The LEGO bricks are suffering
New kink unlocked
Does this hurt the Lego?
So you build a f-ing doomat, whoop-die-doo, LAME !!!!!
Idk why i expected him to make bendable legos and then fold it into a lego crane
5:02 MACARONI
2:16 me convinced hes making train tracks now
This is more like kirigami! In kirigami, the paper is cut as well as being folded, resulting in a three-dimensional design that stands away from the page
This is how LEGO characters build in LEGO games
Glich in a Farmville crop! Love it!
Cool
Okay i was so skeptical, and, this isn’t origami, but its still cool as hell
HE IS BREAKING THE LAWS OF PHYSICS
How did you bend the Lego like that that’s insane
Forbidden bathroom floor tile
I think that has a lot closer resemblance to Kirigami. Kirigami is about paper-cutting too, and cutting paper can look very close to the final product in this video.
If somebody made a giant Hot wheel that would be the wheel
IT STARTS AT 6:40
That’s not what Origami is bud
I would like to report black magic of the highest order. Square bricks should not be creating such round objects. But honestly, a dark magician like you does deserve 474K subs, though.
This channel is the epitome of “Yeah that’s cool, but what if it was BIGGER?”
I’m a little stumped. I can tell that there was some sort of illegal building technique at the start when you were building the original pieces because of the slight warping, but I couldn’t tell what it was. Does anybody know why the pieces were warping before they were even linked up?
The build existed for a while, and was deconstructed in order to be filmed for the video. You can see this in a few of my videos. Good eye.
As cool as this is, I feel like many of the diehard LEGO builders would be screaming about illegal play 😅
