After the first Wooden Lego video I made, I haven't stopped thinking about how to improve them. I decided to give it another crack!
Just a word of warning to anyone that wants to make them "they are a lot of work". :)
As always I'm happy to answer any questions.

After the first Wooden Lego video I made, I haven't stopped thinking about how to improve them. I decided to give it another crack!
Just a word of warning to anyone that wants to make them "they are a lot of work". :)
Curious as to how long it took you
Turned out so nice though. Looks fantastic!
I think this would be a great job for a pantorouter (if you need any more excuses to make one!) with the doubling down from the templates you could get these really accurate, however I quite like the look of them being slightly off
I'd love to have a set! Maybe if I get bored enough and have a week of vacation... I do have a suggestion if you have decide to tackle something similar (or if you want fo finish these differently): don't bother with all the sanding ahead of time. Make sure there's no big burrs anywhere, glue it all up then throw everything in a big rock tumbler, or several, with some beeswax and half as much by volume (or so) smaller wood chips. It should take care of all the corners, smooth everything down, finish the wood and protect the surface. They ought to look cool too!
What is the measurements for this
"You may not be comfortable with that... so I just made this amazing highly precision ajustable quick fix jig Pask Makes 2.0..."
You are amazing mate!!! Thanks for being you!!! Cheers!
Thanks very much mate! :)
Really makes you appreciate how tight the tolerances on legos actually are. I should try measuring them with a micrometer and see how much they vary, if at all.
Yup, then tell us/me what the taper is on those pins eh…
BTW, if you are serious the micrometer will have a pressure gage for measuring soft materials.
.05mm tolerance is good for snapping lego pins into the technic holes. You can see some I made for my kickstarter video. Stop by and say hi.
they dont vary much at all
I heard the moulds used for lego are so valuable as intellectual property that when they wear out, to ensure competitors cannot get a hold of them, they are cast in the middle of concrete. Not sure whether the concrete is used for bridges etc or Lego has a pile of concrete blocks in storage...
This vid is almost three years old, so I'm a little late to the game, but as a life-long lover of Lego bricks, I am completely enchanted by this project. The bricks turned out great, very much like the real thing only larger.
I love the simplicity and accuracy of the jigs you made for marking, drilling, and cutting. Repeatability is key in making something like these bricks, and the jigs make it a snap to get accurate holes and cuts every time. The sanding attachment for the dowels was also genius.
I'd love to see additional pieces to fit the set. Instead of only 1x2 bricks, I'd like to see the classic 2x4 brick, which was the basis for the whole Lego system back in the day, and maybe some of the other classic sizes of 1x4, 2x2, and 2x3. And a big plate to snap them all down!
This is why this is my favourite woodworking channel! Someone who has a genuine passion for working with wood, making weird and wonderful things, spiced with a seemingly never ending amount of ingenuity, imagination and not least skill. Such a treat, and I always look forward to the next instalment on this fantastic channel......either for inspiration, or just as often simply because I enjoy the woodworking 'ride' that we are taken on.
Thanks very much mate - glad you enjoy the channel! :)
@@PaskMakes You have truly mastered your craft! So many jigs and uses for the tools. Such a simple project but with so much room for learning. Congratulations Pask
They're just gorgeous sir, perfection is not man made ever. these have character that they wouldn't otherwise have if they were perfect. Besides when is perfectly perfect it looks assembly line machine made...these were hand crafted. Well done
The little unspoken trick of, when flushing them on the tablesaw, flushing them ACROSS the grain first (definitely causing tearout), then flushing them WITH the grain (removing said tearout) is great.
Only just seen this video. Awesome. I love it when he says "I've just made..." another jig, tool or other gizmo to make the work easier, more accuarate or safer. Pity these aren't for sale. Would buy them straight away
Love it. The design improvements especially the drilling jig with a locating dowel were brilliant. Cutting to final size after the holes were drilled? Brilliant way to increase accuracy. Although I like the use of a caulking nossle best.
Thank you! :)
This is my favourite channel it never sees to amaze me every time and every time I see a new jig I get excited and makes me want to try and come up with something myself. This is why I’m so behind in my projects I’m always making jigs lol great video again mate keep them coming
Told you last time, there is no fails just learning experiences, and you made them. Better, good job pask, thank you for continuing to share your passion with us
No worries mate! :)
Gosh that song is like one of those commercials you can’t get out of your head. Great job.
Pask never fails to impress. A true problem solver. It would be scary to think what he could achieve if a day was twice as long.
Haha! Thanks! :)
So many clever tips in this video. Thanks!
Glad round 2 worked out! You did a fantastic job making them.
Thanks very much Troy! :)
Absolutely awesome! It’s inspiring to see you have another go at this and for it to turn out so well!
Hey Neil, love your perseverance. Please continue your scrapwoodseries, I love it!!!
Thanks Bram! :)
Neil I am continually amazed by your ingenuity! I have watched this particular video a dozen times or more, and each time I pick up something new. I intend to make a set of these for my grandson as soon as I can get back in the woodshop. It is hunting season here in Montana, and with any time off work I am engaged in the pursuit of elk for now. Great project! Keep 'em coming!
Awesome! Seeing them all together at the end was so satisfying. Loved the homemade tools for the dowel rod process as well
Great improvement. Happy to see the lessons learnt from the first attempt and your continued safety steps.
When I saw the title I told myself it is another video.
Honestly its one of the most thrilling and exciting video I have ever seen.
Woooooow man. You made a process for every step that brilliant
Thanks for this great work
Wonderful project! Great seeing how you moved from the last version to this one.
Outstanding. So elegant. Thank you for persisting to show that persistence pays. In wooden lego!!!
You really emphasise the idea of working smarter not harder. Very ingenuitive. Thanks for another great video.
Thanks Erold! :)
I love how you show people how to build your projects without more advanced tools, and sometimes I’ve seen you build things with basic tools to show it can be done. Keep up the great content. 😊
Really great to see you have another go at this. Brilliant outcome, well done
Thanks David! :)
Just an amazing video showcasing many techniques. Great great stuff.
This is everything I hoped it would be! Except or the "lot of work" part, but anything worth doing usually is. Super cool.
I like how you get the most out of your tools ... thanks for sharing
Thanks Glenn! :)
One of my top five woodworkers out there. You are amazing Pask. Greetings from Dominican Republic.
These are so cool. When I was a kid I built all types of things out of Legos and couldn't wake to get older and make real things. So to me it's so cool that you made these, it's the best of making in 2 ways lol
Your ingenuity and patience never ceases to amaze me Neil!
Thanks Henry! :)
Lots of great tricks in here for mass-producing things. Love it.
Back for more! I like it.
These also look amazing!
I absolutely love your videos, sir. Please keep them coming.
Love watching how you figure it out......brilliant mind sir.
Just love it. Reminds me when I was a kid and I had a set of leggos
Cool to see how you optimized the non-efficient parts of the process and even added a gage! fantastic gig work! :D awesome
Thanks Carlos! It shows how many parts of the process needed improving! :)
Love how you did this. I built a LEGO prototype night stand top just the other week.
As my old man used to say " they will ride up with wear", so all in all a great job, thanks for sharing !!!!
I wasn’t sure which video to write this on but I just wanted to say “thank you!”. I have been following your videos for many years now and really admire your work, craftsmanship and overall positivity. I’ve used your designs for some projects (legos and kids toys) and they’ve come out amazing
the dowel sanding jig for the win! awesome stuff!!
Enjoyed seeing the improvements, Neil!
Neil, well done mate. I admire your dedication to making it work and especially the amount of thought you put in to creating your manufacturing setup. A lot of work on your part, but it made for an excellent video. Thanks again, Bob. 👍👍👍
Thanks very much Bob - glad you enjoyed it mate! :)
Great design and tooling improvements! Thanks for sharing!
Wow. Thanks for the dowel making tip at the beginning. Especially the box section jig. Cheers mate.
Another great video, great ideas, great execution, well done!
What a wonderful job. Some little one is going to be very busy indeed. Thanks for sharing!
WoW ! You have the patience of Jobe 👍👍👍
Great video. You are getting truly fancy with the Challenge. The measures you took to make it more precise really made the difference. Keep it up, man!
Thanks Alex! I think I would've made this video even if it weren't a scrapwood challenge but making it out of scraps lets me kill two birds with one stone! :)
Fantastic craftsmanship!!!
Superb! Really great to see you showing different ways of doing things for people with fewer tools and making a good jig is always satisfying! :)
Brilliant! Great job!
Awesome job as always
Tremendous job! Congratulations! Unbelievable!
Sir, you have the patience of a saint. Love the challenge
You have tons of things to teach us..Thank you so much!! Love your work
Thanks Aamir! :)
Wow, what a build. So many cool jigs. Great video. : )
Brought me back to my childhood. I was a big LEGO fanatic. Those came out awesome. Got me inspired to do my own... one day ; ) Thanks!
Love it! So fun!
You blow my mind with some of the stuff you do on this channel. Keep it up!!!
Thanks! :)
Awesome job Neil! Easy to see what an improvement these are. Well done!
Thanks Matt! :)
So glad this was revisited. I don't have any woodworking tools but ever since I saw your first wooden Lego video I thought different colored hardwoods (or different stains) would look amazing. Might have to try it some day when I get some more tools!
That would look great Ryan! :)
You are so creative and resourceful!
they turned out much better, great job
Love this video, I'm going to have to try this myself one day.
You have awe inspiring patience. Super video.
So awesome Pask. I bet if u had a "replicate all of my shop machines out of scrap wood" challenge,you sir, would find a way and it would be great lol. Thanks for your vids!
This is strangely satisfying.
Beautifully done
I made a set of wooden Lincoln logs a few years ago. 1-1/2" X 1-1/2" stock made from 2X4. Very labor intensive. But worth every minute. The grandkids still get them out and play with them. Also made a marble run using cherry wood and a whole bunch of blocks.
I thought I had patience. I don't / can't hold a candle to you. Great work.
I am going to do the same making large size Lincoln Logs. I have a lathe to make the dowels . Then use my table saw to carefully notch them out. Then finally cut the multiple pieces with the table saw.
Amazing idea with a great video, well explained...thank you
Amazing and thank you for being so determined :D
These are brilliant!
Incredible Pask.
Killing it!
I'd like to see someone try and reproduce this on a CNC. I'm sure I'd still like yours better, the craftsmanship is amazing, attention to detail, but just to see if they can even come close. Seems like a simple job, make a Lego, no big deal... you have way more patience than I do. Well done sir!
It would be interesting to see, if I had one I'd try it out! :)
Well I think I already said this, but I'm saying it again after watching this video: You are a genius!
Not sure about that Jolien but thank you! :)
Way more patience than most! They turned out great.
Fantastic project! Thanks!
You did a remarkable job!
Thais is awesome. Looks great. If it look straight then it is straight. Keep the great work.
This is AWESOME! I didn't think of wood Legos but I did have the thought about anodized aluminum lego blocks! First video of yours I seen and I'm hooked! Liked and subscribed!
Wonderfully done
Fantastic work brother! Well done!
Great job. Congrats.
The gaps on the Legos are fine, that gives room for the finish coating for at least 2 layers and a clear on top.
Cool project Neil! Thanks for sharing the video.👍😎JP
So cool!
Neil did it again. Never stops thinking or experimenting and with a little ingenuity he comes up with another brilliant Pask Makes video. Very nice thinking and presentation Neil.
Thanks very much Johnny! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
very good Sir !!! love it !!
Amazing!
Very nice and hard-working job
THEY LOOK REALY NICE
Great job
Nice skills there Pask!
Even if they're not perfect, they're still amazing to watch
Such a cool project. Seems like it must have taken a lot of patience. Great work.
Loved it! A carpenter’s dream come true!
Damn in a way it was the funniest video I have ever seen.
Man I am happy that i haven't had this idea nor the need yet because I feel a similar masochistic perfectionism
and couldnt forget not doing it.
But the kids i will have once will be definitely be equipped with those neat lego stones.
I am not sure if i should thank you for that, but thank you.
Your instructions will make it a whole lot easier.
Thanks for all your videos they are inspiring in the way you work and plan.
You have a great channel. I wish you the very best.
