Transcripts

00:00

today I'm going to test over 40 quick

00:02

and easy unexpected ways to use Lego in

00:04

the real world so anyway let's go for

00:07

this first trick I'm going to build a

00:08

working Lego whistle and all you need to

00:10

do is take four round bricks with a hole

00:13

and stack them

00:16

together there's another few ways of

00:18

building a whistle like using these

00:20

three pieces or you can use a single

00:22

piece like this long tube this one is

00:25

definitely the loudest for this next

00:27

trick you can take Lego base plates in

00:28

different sizes and they turn into

00:31

drums each base plate makes a different

00:33

sound and to build the drumsticks I took

00:35

Lego poles and put round bricks on the

00:37

end also if you build a tiny box in Lego

00:40

fill it with studs and close it up you

00:42

can shake it and it turns into an egg

00:44

Shaker you can also use Lego to build

00:46

simple accessories like this simple

00:48

wallet with the space inside to put

00:50

money and this money sign to flex on

00:52

people or you can build a fancier wallet

00:54

like this one which opens up and inside

00:56

is a fine collection of Lego diamonds

00:59

Lego money and Lego game studs wow after

01:01

looking at this I truly believe that

01:03

flexing has reached its peak if you have

01:05

Lego chain pieces you can connect them

01:07

together and wrap them around your neck

01:09

and now you look iced out because you

01:11

have a fresh looking chain but if you

01:13

want to unlock even more drip you can

01:15

add something on the end of the chain

01:16

like a mini fig if you have string or

01:18

dental floss you can use any Lego pieces

01:20

with a hole as beads to build something

01:22

like a bracelet you can also use any

01:24

colors to customize it the way you want

01:26

it or if you don't have the right pieces

01:28

you can build a simpler one like this

01:30

bracelet which uses chains or you can

01:32

build something like the Satchel which

01:34

opens up so you can put different items

01:36

inside and using some rope you can

01:37

actually wear it another thing you can

01:39

do with Lego is build small playable

01:41

mini gamess like this Lego Tic Tac Toe

01:43

board or the simple ring toss game where

01:45

I set up different targets labeled with

01:47

different colors to indicate how many

01:49

points you get you can also build a

01:51

simple game of bowling like this one

01:53

which uses mini figs as the bowling pins

01:55

and I built this tiny round ball to bowl

01:57

with another thing you can build with

01:59

Lego are hygiene items like this comb

02:01

that can actually brush your hair to

02:03

build it I took these bricks with holes

02:04

on the side and filled them with these

02:06

bar pieces but there's other ways of

02:08

building a comb like this one which only

02:10

uses plates or this one which uses these

02:12

Technic pins now I was digging through

02:14

my Lego pieces and found this fuzzy

02:16

brush piece which comes in a car wash

02:18

set so for this next hack I'm going to

02:20

put it on the end of a stick and see if

02:21

I can use it as a

02:23

toothbrush wow it actually worked and

02:26

there's other ways you can use this

02:28

brush like you can use it to clean off

02:30

Dusty Lego sets another thing you can do

02:32

with Lego is build sport items for

02:34

example if you take a Lego base plate

02:36

and build a handle you can use it as a

02:38

pingpong paddle or if you have enough

02:40

Lego string you can combine it together

02:41

to build a working jump

02:44

rope oh my gosh I'm tired now for this

02:47

next round of Lego items we're going to

02:48

look at things you can use to eat with

02:50

like the small Lego plate that you can

02:52

put food on and to eat our food I built

02:54

a bunch of Lego utensils and we're going

02:56

to test to see if they work starting

02:57

with the fork yep another essential

03:00

utensil to eat with is a spoon so I

03:02

built one in Lego using a dish piece and

03:05

finally I built this Lego knife using

03:07

plates so let's test

03:10

that wow that was really trash but at

03:12

least it got the job done another

03:14

popular utensil are chopsticks so I

03:16

built these ones using long Technic rods

03:19

I also built this working Lego drink cup

03:21

and to build the actual cup for the

03:22

liquid I'm using this clear Dome piece

03:25

quite Exquisite I also built this simple

03:27

Lego drink mixer using long rods and

03:29

these overlapping plates at the end to

03:31

mix the drink and finally if you take

03:33

any Hollow tube piece you can use it as

03:35

a straw to drink like this very thin one

03:38

or this tube which we used as a whistle

03:40

earlier if you have lots of candy you

03:42

can build your very own Lego candy

03:44

dispenser there's a small glass case to

03:47

put the candy in and when you pull on

03:48

this lever it opens a hole for the candy

03:50

to fall through for these next few ideas

03:52

I got them from my subscribers on

03:54

Instagram this person said you can make

03:56

a wristband using mini fig legs dang

03:58

those yellow legs are kind of looking

04:00

sus you can also use Lego to scratch

04:02

your back so I built this Lego Back

04:04

Scratcher oh my gosh this feels so good

04:06

right now but to build this I made a

04:08

long stick and just put a brick on the

04:09

end sometimes if you have a broken Lego

04:11

piece it'll be so sharp that you can use

04:13

it to cut things open like a box and for

04:15

the final but most genius idea if you're

04:18

outside and find a bug you can build it

04:20

its very own Lego habitat like this one

04:22

with transparent pieces for the glass

04:24

lots of plants and this Lego man if you

04:27

just finished a Lego set and you have

04:29

the box don't throw it away because for

04:31

this next tck you can cut out the front

04:33

cover of the box and use it as a picture

04:35

so you can build a custom Lego frame

04:37

around it using plates and you can even

04:39

add things around it like mini figs and

04:41

to make it stand up I put some Lego

04:43

bricks on the back so there we go don't

04:45

be an NPC and throw your Lego boxes away

04:47

instead use them to decorate your room

04:49

another thing you can do is cut out the

04:51

Lego logo on the box and add it to the

04:53

back of your phone case so it looks like

04:55

a sticker If you have a favorite Lego

04:57

mini fig you can decorate your car by

04:59

attaching ing it to some rope and

05:00

hanging it from the rear view mirror for

05:02

this next hack you can take any Lego

05:04

Tire pieces attach it to a long Technic

05:06

rod and now you have a simple tool you

05:08

can use to massage yourself you can also

05:10

use Lego to build simple fidget toys

05:13

like you can spin a car tire on a Lego

05:15

stick another useful thing you can build

05:17

in Lego is a ruler so I built two of

05:19

them each serving a different purpose

05:21

and you can use these to measure how

05:22

long or how tall any Lego build is this

05:25

next trick is for all the gamers because

05:27

you can build simple weights to hold

05:28

down keys on your computer and mouse

05:31

that way if you're playing Minecraft you

05:32

can go eat while you're still mining for

05:34

diamonds come on give me diamonds Give

05:36

Me

05:37

Diamonds if you have any normal pen you

05:40

can take it apart to remove the Small

05:42

Tube full of ink and it fits perfectly

05:44

inside a round 2x two brick so if you

05:46

keep adding bricks and add a small cone

05:48

at the tip you can build a working Lego

05:50

pen and customize it the way you want it

05:52

you can also use Lego as a guide to draw

05:54

different shapes like circles or squares

05:57

or you can use long plates to draw

05:58

straight edges for this next hack if

06:00

you're ever on a really boring Zoom call

06:02

you can prank people by building a

06:04

simple platform to hang from the top of

06:06

your computer with a minifig that covers

06:08

your camera for this next trick if you

06:10

take a magnifying glass for a Lego mini

06:12

fig you can actually use it just like a

06:14

real magnifying glass also if you detach

06:17

the arms off a Lego mini fig you can

06:19

stick it around the camera on your phone

06:20

and now you can take pictures and videos

06:22

and feel what it's like to be a Lego

06:25

person if you have an annoying sibling

06:27

you can scatter Lego bricks around the

06:29

door of your room that way they can't

06:31

come in for this next hack you can use a

06:33

brick separator to open a soda can or

06:35

you can use it to peel off any Lego

06:37

sticker without damaging the end of it

06:39

like your fingernails would you can also

06:41

use a Lego base plate as a fly satter

06:44

there's lots of other ways to use Lego

06:46

like you can build Dice and label it

06:48

with a dry erase marker or using two

06:50

plates you can build a coin flipper if

06:52

you have a cable lying around you can

06:53

build a simple Lego tool and you can

06:55

latch the ends to tie it together and

06:57

keep it organized you can also use Lego

07:00

to build a simple phone stand that you

07:01

can also use as a tripod to take

07:03

pictures this is a special rubber Lego

07:06

piece that's flexible and you can use it

07:08

for many things like an eraser or you

07:10

can use it to build something simple

07:11

like a working bag Clipper that way your

07:14

snacks don't go bad for this next hack

07:16

if you build a long stick in Lego and

07:18

customize the end of it and you can use

07:19

it as a bookmark this next item I built

07:22

is a working Lego safe when you try

07:24

opening it the door is locked but only

07:26

when you turn this knob the door will

07:28

actually open if you you look from the

07:30

inside you'll see that I'm using a very

07:31

simple lock mechanism if you're ever

07:33

looking for other ways to hide your

07:35

money you can hide it in a Lego set like

07:37

this airplane and for this final hack I

07:39

noticed that Lego base plates are very

07:41

slippery on the bottom so using that

07:43

science I'm going to attempt to use Lego

07:45

to build a working snowboard so I took

07:47

three large base plates and connected

07:49

them together adding some detail but

07:50

there's actually no snow where I live so

07:52

I'm going to have to go somewhere that

07:54

has it and now we can finally test to

07:56

see if this thing works

08:01

okay nice yes it does go try some of

08:03

these hacks yourself comment which one

08:04

you like the most and thanks for

08:06

watching R I'm a true Jedi connect to

08:09

Bricks Like It's a Wi-Fi I am the top

08:11

dog they call me titties stacking so

08:12
