There's a fine line between torturing LEGO bricks, and building something magical. This design definitely skirts that line, but ultimately I think this is an amazing build that needs to exist. You may have seen me build LEGO rings/cylinders, and you may have seen me build LEGO helices, but a helical LEGO cylinder? And although there's a lot of stress in this build, I've had this sitting in the corner of my studio for a few years now. It's solid and very stable. And there's so much more to do with this technique. : )

Note: The fail in the post-credits scene comes from a mistake I made. I deconstructed the build, and in my first attempt to film and recreate it I built it ~16% smaller than it should be (I used 6 segments rather than 7). I had a couple of frustrating moments in that reconstruction only to realize that I had build it much smaller than I ever would have knowingly attempted. When I started over with seven segments per loop I had zero problems and it assembled perfectly. LEGO plates are a wonderful and resilient creation. 😂
