Tony Fisher's World's Largest Rubik's Cube!

Blindfold would be physically possible, I don't think OH or feet would be.

Imagine trying to do OP with this. You'd probably have to do some sort of speedBLD or BLDFMC it or do pure comms for the whole thing.

I want to try to do a solve on that and see how many hours it takes me.

Haha, Tony, this is great. I really enjoyed watching those videos.

The record is now official. The confirmed size is 1.57m and the record is "Largest Rubik's Cube".

"Some cubers they use Vaseline, and some of them use lard.
But Tony uses axle-grease because his cube's so hard."

Keep up the good work, Tony.

Now it's official I thought I should finally scramble it. I will certainly do a solving a side video but I am not sure about the whole thing. My solution takes about 200 moves and I don't know if the cube (or me) would survive that. In addition it's very hard for me to keep track of my moves since most are muscle memory. I would have to write each down just before making them using colour notation.
The video also includes general updates.

It was not my intention to reveal how I made it for many more months. However due to reasons beyond my control I am revealing it now in my construction video.

I wonder what's next: a giant 3x3 void? A giant square one? A giant skewb? The world may never know!

Giant Squan? Sounds like a dream come true for YouCubing.

 

[Tony Fisher]

I already made a Giant Skewb though not quite as big (I don't get how the quotes work on this layout).

Cool video, Tony.

 

[Tony Fisher]

Since this is a speedsolving forum I thought I'd better speedsolve it.

Are you actually in the guinness' world records book?

No it's far too soon for that. Naturally I am hoping for the 2017 edition though.

As the record holder I am able to get additional certificates. I thought a collector might like one so I have added one to my current auctions- http://shop.ebay.com/tonyfisher/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p4340 . This is the text from the auction-
"This auction is for one official Guinness certificate for my Largest Rubik's Cube in the world. As stated in the video (sorry about the sound quality) as the record holder I am able to order extra certificates. They are not copies, they are actual certificates on the same type of paper with the silver embossed stamp. Each one comes in a specially sealed blue Guinness cardboard envelope. Obviously I would never sell my own but I thought other twisty puzzles fans might like one too.
At present the certificate is in it's sealed Guinness envelope. The winner of the auction should tell me which of these three options they prefer-
1. I send the certificate unopened and unchecked in it's sealed blue envelope.
2. I open the envelope, check the certificate for errors, sign it and put it back in the blue envelope to send.
3. I open the envelope, check the certificate for errors and send it unsigned in the blue envelope".
