PaddleStack! Making game pieces from a 2x4. 

It’s been a while, welcome back!

It's been a while. Welcome back. I Hope you're doing well.

I love this! Very interesting to see your process.

I highly appreciate you turning down the volume of any power tools in post

This game feels like a more elegant (and in a way more fun) "Mount your Friends". Really like the look of that base, too. Almost looks like leather and the dark texture of the panel works nicely with shiny metal.

The biscuit tin as the box and the base is quite neat

Never thought an 8 peice puzzle would be that much fun...

I really love the line "If a step takes you even a little bit closer, it was a success."

Really awesome to see you making videos again. I’m also excited to see your next project. It looks fun.

Thank you for this lovely relaxing video especially during these troubling times. Its always a treat to watch you work on an interesting project with the relaxing commentary articulating and expounding on concepts. I'm glad to have been a subscriber for all these years. It's good to see you doing well, keep safe!

RU-vid algorithm leads me to your channel about 1 years ago. And yesterday, youtube algorithm recommends your channel again. Now, I know that it was foresight of this video and blessing for your channel!

I wasn't expecting to get practice in GIMP today.

it is so hard to overcome a bad habit as nail-biting. Congratulations, so good to see you back. Respect

Excellent, mr. pocket! I love this stuff. Also, thanks for the puzzle!

I've never seen a table saw used in that fashion, you've opened my mine to a new reality. Thx! I'm talking about the inside curved cut----brilliant!

Thank you so much for the content! It's nice to have you back. I hope you're well. Stay safe and keep on making.

fantastic video as always, super cool project

And I appreciate yout continued projects ! Keep it up ! You're a great source of inspiration for me :D This stacking game looks really cool !

Great video! I always love seeing what you come up with!

you are amazing, love that you make the step to upload to the first channel, this video is a grate one.

Great, two pocket videos in a day! :) Hope you're doing well in this weird time we live in

Nice game! Glad to see you back on the main channel too.

Long waited video from Pocket's main channel!

So happy to see main channel content! Hope you and your family is well!

Im so glad you're back

Huh, another pocket83² video... wait... ...what? What!?! Really? Whoa, that's nuts!

I love it. My first thought was maybe I could also make a similar game with metal pieces and a magnet. Since magnetism only goes so far. Maybe even a version where the magnet is in the air and you have to build up and out.

An upload on the main channel? how exciting! This global quarantine business is probably a great time for someone who likes to make puzzles and games.

Nice Mancrafts sander. Enjoyed the video as always.

welcome back! I wish I had the tools to make these, they look so fun.

That was a nice subtle message there at the end. Stay safe pocket. I'm off to catch my pocket double dip now.

Not sure how I found you, but I love your words of encouragement.

Made this. My kids are having a ball with these!

Neat. Perhaps make one (or more) special thick pieces. Starting game play with that might open up more interesting stacks.

Cool to see you back

Pretty smart as always!

welcome back, nice setting ur vids again

Bold of you to assume that I'd assume about flat things.

You appreciate our continued interest? We appreciate your continued interesting content.

Very neat 👌

Super glad to see a new video always exciting and great content keep up the amazing work

I really love your wuality content .. keep it up pocket 👏

Great use of an old sewing kit tin.

that circular cut looks like magic, you sure you aren't a wizard?

Fun idea!

Your “I appreciate your continued interest” comment struck me as odd. No Pocket, we appreciate YOUR continued interest. I’ve been watching your second channel for a while because it seemed like you might have been giving up on this one (in some of your vlogs over there you kind of eluded to your lack of desire to keep this channel going or possibly feeling like the content going up over there wasn’t good enough for a main channel video), but it’s so great to see another video on this channel. As a fan, it’s been disheartening to get the sense that you didn’t feel this channel had value when it so clearly does. Your videos are super entertaining and I’ve learned so much about critical thinking and approaches to problem solving (not to mention woodworking, of which I knew nothing) from you. I’m so happy to see you haven’t given up on this channel and/or being a RU-vidr because seeing new videos from you is a genuine highlight of my day. I don’t know where it comes from, but I hope you continue to find the desire and/or motivation to post new videos. Your continued interest means a lot to me, and I’m sure many other fans as well.

Nice video, nice game :)

Long time fan. Would love to see you make a chess set!

It'd be interesting to make these game pieces out of bass wood. The game play would change a decent amount with the lighter wood I imagine. When the weather gets nicer and I can set up my shop again, I'll be giving this one a try!

great for these quiet days

Nice

I solved your puzzle. It was fun

Perfect and awesome ! :-) Thanks. It is good to see you around :-)

Uh, dude... Where in the name of carpentry have you been all this time?!

Those look like fun

welcome back!

missed your videos!

These videos being me peace

welcome back!!!

A piece at a time the key to a circle is. Deep Mr.Pocket... deep. We've missed you, welcome back.

So glad you are back making videos. I have a challenge for you that I can't wrap my head around. How would you make a wood solid of constant without using a CNC? No wood 3D printer as well ;-).

I wonder if you've considered staining the set in different colors. If you did half, the sculpture could look more dynamic and you could see the history of tile placement. If you did a bunch of colors, then each game could look even more different. I could also allow people to build variants in the rules like the peace replacing can't touch any similar colors.

thank you for turning down the sound of your saw!

These look like the components inside a sprag clutch on a bicycle or helicopter rotor, seems like they interface in a similar manner too. Are the actual thingies called “sprags”? I dunno. Anyway, loved the cove technique, fascinating process for a seemingly simple piece.

"Well, why would I assume? I never assume, it leads to assumptions."

They make special router bits for edges of desks that would knock away the corners very nicely. Or you could simply genetically modify a tree to grow into the right shape. You know, whichever is easier.

Did you try some in a heavier denser wood? I wonder how that would affect the game play.

Hmmm good choice of biscuits too.

I solved the puzzle, and i did not assume ;)

I spent far too long looking at and editing screenshots of this video.

You've got clever thinkies Pocket.

You could allow players to reserve up to k pieces where k might be 2 or 3. Then each turn they have a choice of moves, place or reserve. With different densities of pieces they might reserve lighter pieces early to use at the end.

Watching this in 2021 and knowing that you just made a 50 dollar tabletop game out of that 2X4

Better than sewing supplies.

More pocket83 games! What have we done to deserve such gifts? 🥳

You sound sick

*sigh* math is beautiful :)

So like reverse Jenga?

Did you try putting more than 2 of them together in that gear type setup?

You could embed metal to make some heavier.

looks fun, but i dont have any of the tools required lol

You could drill through to make some lighter.

When slicing up the board into the individual game pieces, how come you always placed a space between the work piece and the stop block (as opposed to placing the stop block closer to the blade)? Also, don't assume that corner pieces must have flat edges.

welcome back 83

Been a couple years dude!! How are you and Mrs. Pocket getting along these days?!?! Still enjoying the new house?!?!

This looks fun as shit

A main channel video? Wow, I guess there is a silver lining

Jenga 2.0?

I wonder if there is space on the mat to spiral all 32 pieces in from the edge, with every piece touching the ground and one other piece? 🤔

Damn i missed your vids

Also, I quickly made a CAD model from your sketch for 3D printing. With your permission, I would like to share it with people who do not have access to the tools or skill that you have.

Did you try other shapes?

Ok, so whos going to post a link to just buy a set of these? I dont have a table saw or the time, but the game looks incredibly fun and I could play it with my kids!

Jenga has a one hand rule (which everyone ignores). Should make this trickier.

Damn, is it easter again? or am i just assuming?

Do you have a interesting to try our new wooden puzzle? The difficultly is over your imagining .If so,I can send a piece to you for test.

Wait. But they're also ambiturner couches! (See moving sofa problem on the numberphile channel)

I feel cut-cornered in a very meta way...

there was a japanese app called animal tower battle which is pretty much this online

Now that he can't go out he's doing more edited videos on his main channel again.
