Hey all,

Check out Jordan Schwartz's Rapunzel's Tower:

Its amazing!
The round tower is really impressive, but I also like the architecture of the top of the tower. I wonder how the tower is made, I don't really get it from the picture.

Hey,

The round tower is built in sections using this technique by Deborah Higdon:

Which essentially uses a ton of these brackets, separated by 1x2 plates:

Jordan built a series of these rings with smaller and smaller diameters, and then stacked them to make the tower.

Jordan Schwartz always makes some spectacular creations and this is no exception. Nothing bad about it; nice job!

Thanks Bruce!
The technique seems quite handy, but I wonder how strong it is...

This is really suberb. I like that you're not just presenting a building, but are giving us a story.

This is great in every way! It has a fairy-tale feel to it, but also a great amount of realistic and clever architecture built into the tower design. Great job with the hair and the bow and well, with the whole thing.

Nadjy is always pulling out this crazy stuff. I am hoping this will be at Brickfair
