Hey, I want to try and make a 3x3x4, 3x3x5, and siamese cube. I was thinking of practicing with keychain rubiks (are they able to be disassembled)?

If they are, then I will need two cubes for the siamese, and could I use 3 cubes to make both the others or would I need 4?

Also, if anyone could post youtube link or wonderhowto link or whatever of the best tutorials on these id really appreciate it. I dont know who is correct on youtube and who is wrong so its hard.

I dont need a link to do the siamese as its fairly simple, and Thwarst or whatever on youtube has a detailed one.

Thanks for reading and the help!

3x3x4's are just regular cubes with an extra layer glued on (no internal/structure modification) and 3x3x5's are the same, but adding one layer on two opposit sides. There are many tutorials on youtube on how to make a siamese cube, and yes, you can use keychain cubes for all of these mods.
