How to?: Make a 2x2 from a 3x3?

I've seen a couple, and I know I need plastic sheets (where do i get them), and I don't know how to make the pieces. Any tips?

 

[BillB]

From the one I made that I nicknamed "Frankenstein", you need thin Lexan. Are you going to Drexel or UPenn? I'll bring it along so you can see the core and edge pieces.

Hi everyone,

I'm feeling like making a tutorial right now, but I don't know what to make. If any of you have any suggestions, I'll go and make one within the next hour or so. I'm currently thinking of:

-Commutators (8-move ones, those are the only ones I'm good at, perhaps in a long series of BH videos)

-2x2 BLD (Possibly, I could just tell people to look at the corners portion of my 3x3 BLD videos)

-3OP (I've done Old Pochmann, M2, and R2, perhaps it's time for this?)

But if you have other suggestions, let me know. If I don't get any, I'll just do a Commutator Introduction video.

I'd like to see a 3OP tutorial. My friend is having difficulty on leaning 3OP and I don't have time to explain it to him

Thanks Waffle, tomorrow I plan to make a 3OP tutorial.

I'd like it if you explained BH or something

I'm about to start recording, I'll probably make a few parts of a BH tutorial and a few parts of 3OP

I need a tutorial on getting faster on F2L...other than practice, metronome, limit cube rotations, and move count.

You just solved your own problem.

I got up to edge permutation on 3OP, I still have corner permutation and parity to cover. Not sure if I want to do that today or tomorrow.

Acutually, I want a penspinning tutorial .

have you honestly never ever heard of google??

i searched how to penspin and got tons of results and videos and photos of how you do it. search before asking. thats why there is something to search on, so people dont always have to give it to you.

FMC tutorial.

FMC tutorial.

There's this: http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11375
thread. Its not a tutorial but discusses stuff.

 

[JLarsen]

There really isn't a tutorial on FMC. There's commutators, and insertions, and then blockbuilding really.

I would like a Square-1 square shape tutorial. My current method is REALLY slow.

You are talking about normal, right? Not BLD?

 

[byu]

Yeah, normal, but I've looked at that site, none of them seem to work for me (I mean, they work, but I don't like them).

 

[Daniel Wu]

Yeah, normal, but I've looked at that site, none of them seem to work for me (I mean, they work, but I don't like them).

Yeah. Those seem too hard to memorize (edit: thought it was something else). I need a faster system or something.

FMC tutorial.

Seconded.

I don't think our FMC tips post is comprehensive enough. The question is, do we have any expert FM solvers willing to give up their secrets?
