Ohh!!! I'm lovin it!! (McDonalds' slogan, won't get out of my head

)

That looks really good! It is pretty big though, but it's hand-made so I forgive you :lol:

12/10 ! Brilliant

This has inspired me to make a simpler 1x2x3 from lego. One question however. Does this come unscrewed? (by twisting it.)

Fantastic work! turns very well and I like your approach using legos. :idea:

Never thought I would see a fully-functioning 1x2x5 made almost completely out of legos. :shock:

P.S. That is a compliment.

That is so cool!
Well done! And thanks for the in-progress photos. I like when people take the time to do this.

Oh !! That's a cool idea, to make a really big handmade puzzle out of legos, rather than molding or 3D-printing the entire thing. I like the way it turned out, quite clean-looking.

loving the lego idea!

Great work, I love it when simple mods pop out of nowhere, the kind that no one ever bothers to think of. Excellent work on a creative, novel idea.

nope

i drilled a larger hole on one piece and put a piece of metal ontop to make as little friktion as possibe,
and it has satyed in so far

Pretty cool!!

A very good idea to use Lego. That's the way new concepts are born.

Holy crap!!

Nice work. I can't believe it took so long for anyone to make one (and by hand!). The design is just so deceptively (sp) simple!

merlintocs · **Posted:** Fri Feb 27, 2009 2:58 pm

Very nicely done!

I really like this mod

Didn't expect to see Lego used. Very creative use of materials.

Nice!

Well done. I really enjoyed the video and report too.

Kris18 · **Posted:** Mon Mar 02, 2009 8:50 pm

Damn. That thing is HUGE!

How does anyone keep the suspended pieces on and make them turnable when not suspended? I can understand a 1x2x3's, but this?

When's the 1x2x7 coming out? >:D

Cool, see if you can make it a little less bulkier. I would really personally hate something that bulky.
