Impossible paddle through canoe trick
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 тра 2024
- One solid piece of wood, a paddle, somehow passes through another solid piece of wood, a canoe, through a small hole. How is this possible? Watch this video to see how it's done. See how you can build this yourself.

As a magician I showed this trick to an audience, but they all left the hall before one hour was over. I thought it was good.
Some audiences just don't have any patience. 😁
@@AlleyPicked Some doctors don't have any patients either.
@@SirNightmareFuel Some customers don’t pay cents either.
So... was it a DISAPPEARING trick you were performing? If so, then it worked

If you squeeze both sides, they will match in size when you re-hydrate them.
Unfortunately they do not come out exactly the same but it is closer. I would recommend using a stencil to get the both the same after putting your object through the hole
I read this comment before seeing the video.
I was very confused.

@TheLast 8thWalrus as if you have any right to talk then.
The secret is you put the paddle through the hole while it is still young and growing and after 3 years you can show it to people and surprise them.
I'm totally telling my nephew that.
Jump ahead 10 years later when the boy is grown up.
Dad comes home to find a tree through the garage. The boy smiles and says, "and you said it couldn't be done".
*Slap bass music plays*
Boys have been putting trees through garages, and other buildings, for decades. Give a boy a hatchet and some unsupervised time, and great things happen.
Now that's what I call a:
Tree House!
...and lots of missing fingers
He said he wasn't allowed to do it, not that it couldn't be done...
After 10 years the kid probably didn't realise the distinction...
Wood is light weight because it is porous, making it squeezable. That “secret” is the foundation for all these “impossible” puzzles.
This property is known by physicists and material scientists as "squeezability".
I assumed either the paddle or the canoe were made in two parts skilfully joined....this is much more satisfying.
I assumed it was a solvable puzzle but in fact it was a great waste of my time as a viewer
I thought it might be carved from one piece and then stained to look like different kinds of wood.
Soak in water, put in vise, compress, put through hole, put back in water.
I've made something similar from metal, to test my welding skill, you could only just barely see the line where i welded it.
I've been watching too many weird math videos so I thought this was going to be a demonstration of how to get a paddle shape through a canoe shape. Honestly this is way cooler
I was a bit disappointed,as I expected him to extract the peddle with bare hands.
Mind your decisions I’m Presh Talwalker
Hey! Me too. Wonder what algorithm does that... now I'm impressing my nephew with my ability to find square roots in seconds.
Im pretty sure that in most videos, it has something to do with folding it into the fourth dimension
01:46 ”This will soften your wood...”
Noooo
That will do more than soften it...
Just add some spice

Imagine one time a famous puzzle company makes something like this that’s literally impossible to solve
If it’s literally impossible to solve it’s not by definition a puzzle.
There is no impossible
@@6ixss agreed, anything made by human hand and mind will always have an error, no matter how hard it may be to find.
@@6ixss point being we expected the video to show us a puzzle, all it did was show us how to make a toy.
Just as impressive is the fact that he still has all of his fingers.
Nah, blade guards are for OW GODDAMNIT!!🩸🩸

True, I had nearly cut off my thumb when I was at 13, and it took more than 1 month to recover
That shitty saw is fucking dangerous
I thought he was about to loose a tip when he started drilling.
@@heywingliu9085 "Grade 13"? How many grades do you have?
Made it and it turned out great. Just used old pine scraps. Thanks!

Good one, Dad.
Thank you, Dad.

When you said the word "Puzzle" and "Geddit" my wife and nineteen children haven't ceased laughing.
What a great mirth maker you are.
My wife frowned when you said you need to "soften the wood".
@@SilentKnight43 I Smiled and looked at her and said "See? It needs to be soft, this science puzzle guy says so"
@@jsswift87 lol
" You need to boil your wood for 10-15 minutes and this will soften your wood" Ya Permanently lmao
Don’t think i can put my wood voluntairy in boiling water for 15 min.
How to boil a log,I mean frog.
At first my brain was like “this guys a dumbass it’s legit not soft in the vid. Then i realized I’m the dumbass😂
Don’t forget you have to hold it tight in a vice until it dries.
@@tannerware3920 what do you mean?
Honestly thought he was going to carve a single piece of wood into the canoe and oar shape.
Ngl Me too, but when he boiled it, it made sense because my grandma and I used to boil willow to make dream catchers and snares
@@MLG_Kitten i never realised you could do that but logically I should have worked that out because I know that people steam slats of wood to bend them for furniture or wheels.
My boys and I just bought a canoe. I will make this for them and put the date on it to remeber our first trip.
This was great! LOVE the soundtrack, too.
Honestly when he first pulled out the drill and was just starting to drill the guide while holding it in his hand I screamed NO and woke up my cat!
@@youtubewatcher8858 I've never seen anything that bad happen but in high school my woodwork teacher did a similar thing to the guy in the video but the drill slipped off and slightly pierced his hand. Nothing major just a decent wound and he couldn't use his hand properly for a few weeks. I just remember seeing the drill slip and blood and got flashbacks when I saw that xD
@@youtubewatcher8858 Yep place I used to work had a similar incident except it was with a table saw, this dude couldn't be asked to use the guides to guide the wood and instead used his hand. One day he got distracted and lost two of his fingers.
My guess was that before watching the video I was thinking the boat in the paddle war one solid piece at first and you carved each part out and then you carved a hole in the canoe where the paddle would be going through to make them into two separate pieces I really wasn’t guessing that you soaked the wood and squeezed it down to a smaller size
Paddlin' the school canoe? Oh, you better believe that's a paddlin'
That's pretty cool man. Subscribed! Thanks for sharing and not going on and on for an hour like alot of people do. Straight to the point with no wasted time.
"and then you have to say: "yeah, cause i gave up", ok?"
So... I boil the coin for 1 hour and it will soften, then I shrink it in a vice and hey presto, it will fit inside the solid walnut cube.
Or... I could freeze the coin to -150⁰C and it will expand inside...
Boil the cube and push a drift through the hole.
I actually assumed it would be something involving water but I thought ”nah, no way it could be that, wood can’t expand THAT MUCH after being squished so hard!”
Turns out it can, pretty impressive
This is great. Wonderful gift idea. Thank you!
I agree with Alex....that was pretty cool
As soon as I saw the vid, I went to go make it. The paddle is in the vise right now. But I made a walnut ring to put it through. Thanks for the cool vid!
Sounds great!
Can't we just show pictures of Rosie O'Donnell? That's always been effective at softening my wood.
Lol. I laughed out loud!!😂😂
Man's intro music is from that mobile sniper game....
Man, you need to do something about that janky band saw. You need a new belt or possibly new tires or something.
It shouldn't be vibrating that!
I made the canoe and paddle, pretty cool.
I tried the cube thing too, but after hours of boiling I couldn't get the quarter to soften up at all!
Lol...try a different quarter...maybe one from before 1960.
THE IMOVIE MUSIC!!!! 😂💀
Its all about the type of wood, the grain direction and hot water and a vice
LOL. A vice is a practice, behavior, or habit generally considered immoral, sinful, criminal, rude, taboo, depraved, or degrading in the associated society. Auto correct: vise.
@@burneggroll Depends where you live, vice is also correct.
All I heard was "for about 10 to 15 mins this will soften your wood"😂
1:45 "this will soften your wood"
Why am I watching this at 1pm
You crafty rascal you! That is pretty cool 🤘🏼
This helped me out so much thanks
Isn't the blade guide on a handsaw supposed to be lowered to just above the work? Might save a finger or two.. and would be more precise?
Very cool. I see a project in my future. Thank you.
“Boiling it for 10-15 mins” guaranteed way to soften any wood
Muito bom, obrigado! Robertson (Brasil)
I knew how this was done yet I still watched the whole video 🤣 love it.
Better at magic than jokes! Illustrated dad joke!
Actually pretty cool, gonna have to make it for my kids!
Cool. I saw a video once on how this guy creates these thick, curved wooden beams, for use in ship making, horse carts (I think) and buildings. It was a similar process; take a thick wooden beam, steam it for like a day so its totally waterlogged using this big steamer and then they would put it in a special vice to slowly bend the beam into shape, before leaving it to dry out for several days. After it dries it gets stuck in the new bended shape.
That’s pretty dope!
Just to recap....
Soften your wood, then put it in a vise before you stick it in the hole?
Whatever works :-)
That’s vise; vice occurs somewhere else.
Anyone else think he was gonna carve the puzzle out of one block of wood? Also, would the linseed oil prevent you from repeating it--the oil preventing water from soaking into the wood? And what of the quarter puzzle?
Band saw guide should be 1/4 in above wood.
I thought the trick might entail cutting off a few fingers at the point.
Then let's drill toward our hand.
Hairlarious!!
I wouldn’t know. 7th grade woodshop teacher scared me off power tools altogether. Of course, I do still have the scars from metal shop, so... 🤷🏼♂️
My next trick will be "how to attach a severed finger".
These comments about wood 😑 I enjoyed the video, I don't do handy work but this was so satisfying to watch and I learned something new about the properties of wood, thank you for sharing!
Thank you for your non-wood comment :-)
Usually a cold shower softens my wood.
You put it in a vice to dry and get it back?
I dunno man, a boiling my wood would definetly make it soft permanently
I don’t really need this information but this still beats tiktoks 100 - 0
Show me on the doll where tiktoks hurt you...
Did you know that TikTok has a algorithm, so it literally only tries to show you what you are interested in after a few hours or so. I dont get how this is supposed to be better than literal tailored clips for you, especially with the scipted conversations between him and the kid.
@@licious6033 first of all, UA-cam also has an algorithm, secondly both algorithms don’t try to show you what you’re interested in but what will get you to stay on the app for the longest amount of time. Third of all they have a different pool of videos to recommend to you and I would say UA-cam’s is a lot better than tiktok
@@baker7280 pretty obv you never used tiktok but w/e ur boomer brain wants to believe. youtube algorithm seems pretty fucking shit rn
@@licious6033 you didn’t actually argue a point lol
Good video. Thanks
The quarter in the cube video will be posted tomorrow. The music is better :-) That was an older video when I was still learning the ropes :-)
How long do you have to boil the quarter to get it into the cube?
Cool trick. That band saw scared me. I never leave more open blade than necessary.
And leave the wood on the ends on until after you've cut out the centre portion. That gives you more holding distance from the saw's blade.
Hey, what about the quarter in the cube! Boil the cube, make it pliable, and squeeze the quarter in it?? Don't leave me hanging here..
This Sunday I will upload the quarter in the cube trick. Stay tuned.
@@AlleyPicked sounds good...look forward to it :)
No, boil the quarter :D
Spoiler - the quarter shrinks in size due to inflation and cost of living.
@@SilentKnight43 LOL!
Hell yeah..all this softening and hydrating wood in one video....In a 4 minute video....yezzir I will subscribe
Thank you!
Rather than find fault I thought it was well worth watching..nice work boys 👍
Same method as the nail through the 2 inner pieces of wood. In that one he just soaked the wood, squashed in the vice, and left the wood return to full size as it dried.
Add some carrots, celery and herbs- MMMM canoe soup...
Could also make a good penguin using this idea :)
First thought that went though my mind was do we have access to water to do this? That was the only explanation. The paddle started out thinner then retained all the to swell up.
Think you should sell it to the history channel as ancient alien technology.
they would probably believe it too !
I know damn well they would ! There used to be a TV commercial in the 90s ...”scientists found a working model of a glider in a 3000 year old tomb. Did the ancient Egyptians discover the secret of flight?” It was a carving of a bird.
So what type of wood was the one that was the best for boiling?
Everyone is talking about softening their wood, but it's not that bad, since he did squeeze it afterwards
I boiled the quarter to do the same trick ! It worked wonders !
So how do you keep the water boiling while the wood dries for several days?
If you added wooden wheels to it and lowered it so the paddle reaches the 'floor' and clacks around as you roll it, you could make a pretty nice little toy here.
Another way to do this is to carve the entire thing out of one piece of wood. This is how wooden linked chains are done.
Impressive😉👍💛
Atleast I know how to soften my wood now
Pretty slick
what's the piano music at 2:28? and cool video of course, neat idea
1:45 "this'll soften your wood" *80s porn music starts playing * 🤣
I widdle mine out of a single block of wood but hey your trick works too
That was pretty cool indeed
You used like every pre-made tune ever written.
This reminds me that my splitting maul is ready to use.
For a second there I thought this was going to be "how to loose the end of your finger".
I still have all 10 (I'm kind of surprised :-)
lose, damnit!
Man defying physics here. Also, yes please, soften my wood.
great video. thanks.
how did they do the quarter in the wood. do they stretch the wood or shrink the quarter? how would one do that?
I suspect it was done the same way by boiling the wood block in water then pressing the quarter edge first in a vice until it pops into the center of the wood.
And here I always thought the quarter trick started off as a dime and eventually grew to be a quarter over time.
@@davagain Usually the quarter shrinks to a dime over time (inflation, though it's really shrinkation)...but I like your thinking here
I am a sucker for this type of stuff....I would have never guessed you boil it
I just had to subscribe :)
The other option is to carve it out of one solid block of wood, but it takes for ever. Positive side is you can make it look like even more impossible, hole is smaller and paddle bigger / wider .
I've always wondered how to soften my wood ;)
I loved your video! I hope you didn’t have that intro music playing while you were cutting the wood it had my hands moving, you could lose a finger Oof
Right. So what are you going to use it for?
He’s going up sh#t creek.
Make a video of course. It's just a novelty. You show it to people and make them guess how it was done.
That was my immediate thought was that you'd have to make the wood soft, then for a moment when you started the saw, I wondered if there was any way to make it from 1 piece of wood.
Aww man here i thought it was gonna be some kind of cool puzzle oh well
Spoiler: Alex in fact, did not stay tuned.
I already knew the trick, but I enjoy watching things made with boiled or fire hardent wood.
Science! Wait, I mean Magic! Lol! That was cool. Thanks!
I think it's great that his bandsaw has Parkinson's, and he still uses it. Handicapable!
LOL - Yea, sold it and bought a Jet Bandsaw
Dont they just use water to soften the wood to get the items in? commenting before watching.
i liked this
A couple fun little projects.
Like the projects, but I do have issue on the improper use of the band saw. The upper guide needs to come down closer to the wood to keep the blade from twisting.
You are correct. Also, that bandsaw has been replaced with a proper one. It was a cheap piece of junk.
So when putting a new handle on an axe would some of this same idea work? Over size the handle a bit, boil it up and squeeze it till it fits? Then boil the whole head a bit to expand it back up. Is this crazy or genius?
Whether it is crazy or genius or both, I would still use a wedge to avoid an axe head flying off in the direction of my face. But you might be on to something there 😁
@@AlleyPicked I agree with using the wedge. Sounds like it's an idea at least worth a try. I happen to have an axe with a beat up handle- I had a helper who helped make it that way. I think I'll give it a try.
Have you ever heard of the disappearing elf puzzle? Called a few different names but I’d like to see a 3D version of it made
Why don't you make the side you are going to squeeze bigger in the first place, so after everything it looks closer to the other side's size?
Two different types of wood so soak it in water?
