Construction of Tony Fisher's Truncated Golden Cube Puzzle
This is how I transformed a factory made version of my Golden Cube into a cuboctahedron. I wanted to call it Cuboctaminx but that name has already been used. So I simply called it Truncated Golden Cube. The video also shows how to make awkward shaped stickers.
See- tonyfisherpuzzl... for information on this and all my other puzzles.

You know you've truly hit the big time when you're transforming a factory made version of your own puzzles!
Greetings, I love that puzzle.!, you are a master in the subject
We would like to buy if it was for sale 👍
no its rectified
with this kind of precision skill.... you are the most talented person i've ever seen
At the very beginning you should be able to see some lines I have drawn onto the surface of each side. I used these as a guide to ensure everything is cut symmetrically.
@clickclocks Yes. I tried to cut a Megaminx down into a rhombic Dodecahedron shape. I knew it would be on the limit of possibility but it was actually just over the limit and fell apart. There have been a few others also which never quite worked out.
Remember it has a part turn built in so in some ways it already is. However since It only has 2 'layers' of rotation in each direction I am not sure if it's really comparable.
I have several construction videos. These give you an idea of how to make puzzles. I believe it is better to develop your own techniques than blindly copy what I do.
you should really make more of these construction of puzzle videos they are soooooo cool!!!!!!
Smooth cast and Alumilite are both popular. Mine is just some resin I had left over from years ago. The powder is just a filler to stop it being too transparent. There's no reason why anyone would set out to use this resin and powder nowadays.
It doesn't clog so quickly so you can use it longer and wash it when it does clog up.
I figured it all out by myself. As the first person to transform puzzles there was no other way.
You do know I am talking about polyester resin not polyurethane?
I am not sure it would make any difference. If it was spinning the other way it would constantly be trying to pull what you are "Dremelling" up and out of your hands. So you would most likely move it into a more secure position where it was once again spraying you.
@something0re0ther Pretty much.
I drew lines on each face first and just followed them. I never really had to think about the angles.
Really good vid Tony. Greetings from Norway!
hello, I'm John, I'm from Portugal, I have about 20 cubes, gave everything to have your cube! I'm your fan! I wish I could see her live collection, you must have many cubes! I think you should make a video showing its entire collection, which built the cubes and you have purchased a video showing everything!
@killer6468 I don't really bother solving puzzles much these days.
I don't know what you mean. Everything is shown in the video.
Subscribed. Your techniques are great, never thought to use resin!
It's the same to solve but yes it's harder to visualise.
its not about the truncated golden cube,,, but it also shown how to make prfect cube..now i have an idae how to make a good one..thank you so much
WOW! I never thought of using masking tape to keep a cube from moving while I cut it! that would have made my half truncated cube job a WHOLE lot easier! I had to spend a ton of time tightening the screws, and the stress probably wasn't that good for the plastic =P
When he start to do something: Why he's doing that? Wait, what's that? When he finish what he was doing and show at the end of the process: ... Ohh that's why, you're so smart Tony!
@KaiXevandStanley i admire you're geniousnessi mean making you're own cubes thats something i could never have thought of
It was a freebie from Meffert since they are my invention.
that's just way too awesome. If only you knew how cool you were =D
cutting off the corners of the stickers to make them look rounded.
A company started making them without my permission. They are now paying me a royalty so it's ok. However a Golden Fisher Cube is pretty pointless since it has so many possible solved states.
@McNibbler Errr, no.
wow, that was great! I'm trying to figure out how to make mod myself and this was helpful in the process of information. If you made an instructional video, you might inspire more puzzle makers/modders.
I'd love a Pillowed 6x6 for sure.
Hey Tony, do you think that dremels should spin anti-clockwise instead, so that right handed guys like us don't get sprayed in the face with molten plastic? Or is there a good reason for the direction of rotation?
This was great! Subscribed!
I'm surprised I watched the whole thing It's so interesting!
fantastic puzzle
I think the red stuff is hardener and the black stuff dye. Check out the construction video of his 31st golden cube
@ndgamer4life No, definitely not. It takes longer, looks poor and weighs a ton.
you are basically using the dremel to 'spread out' the hard plastic over the truncated part so you don't have to fill it?
No, that was Tony Durham I think.
nice job tony :)
Hay Toni, haces un tutorial de modificacion de un cubo, que por lo que me dijeron el otro dia esta protegido por tus derechos de autor
ok well anyways how do you think of puzzles how to make the core and make it turn and how do you come up with awesome names like golden cube
Wow! Good work! Would you consider selling these, and putting them into production? I'd love to get one. I can already solve your golden cube, so this would be very fun to figure out! :D
If I had to.
wow! thanks so much for posting this vid. I learned a lot from seeing this. Approximately how many hours did you put into making this puzzle?
Oh, right. I've been told that Smooth Cast 300 is a good product. But you use a brand that comes in a powder mixture.
...nice build...:)
It's easy to get a Golden Cube now. Just go to Mefferts
I mean what ingredients did you use. I saw the Fastglas Resin, But I don't know what the Red and Black stuff is. I also don't know what the white stuff is at 04:01 .
You're like a scientist for the cubes... And may I ask you where you get your stickers from?
Cut up bits of plastic sheet.
Nice!
That spinning thingy looks cool where can I get that o.o
Is the black stuff you mixed with the resin just black paint?
@KaiXevandStanley Thank you for taking the time to respond :)
What brand do yo use? I've been using US Composites but sometimes I have problems with it and the final product doesn't come out too well.
im impressed
Great video :) What's the red thing you put at 3:33 ?
Tony do you think it would be possible to make a cutter cube with a golden cube
did you buy it from a store and taked it apart or did you make it
Do you cut all your stickers like how you just demonstrated?
I just muddle through like most people.
polyester resin dye.
was that the signed one from Uwe Meffert
would it be possible to make an axis golden cube
do you just solve it like a a normal golden cube?
You'd better get used to it cause there's more to come.
what would you suggest for filling a 3x3
is the skewb also your invention?
stone powder.
How do make that stuff at 03:17 ? I really want to know.
What is the skewb base brand that you used making golden cubes?

Cubing4Taiwan They were limited editions since they are not profit making.
@KaiXevandStanley Have you ever found a cube you JUST couldn't solve?
Make a pillowed one!
@Neakiaro Just average.
what was the powder added??
You should make a golden fisher cube.
Is the golden cube a shape mod of a 3x3

No, that'd be a Ghost Cube, the Golden Cube is a Skewb Shape-Mod
Hardner, Dye, 30mins

factory made eventualy??
That looks like a ghost cube before the change Am I right or wrong

Sooo.... who do you think made TONY FISHER'S Golden Cube in the first place? Now who's pathetic??
water makes the sandpaper finer
kickflip something are selling them you could ask him
yeah, i would buy one but its 42 dollars... :(
lol he does :D
I usually end up with sticker mods when search
wow thats a mess at the end of the video xD
ingore this i didnt read you comment :D
damn
Nah. He just takes the cube and sands it down. I'm not really into the internal mechanism of the 6x6 in the first place. I should of been more clear in my comment. "I'd love a Pillowed 6x6 for sure with a different internal mechanism." And I don't really like Kickflip.
A Tony Fisher Hand-Mod with no Milliput? BLASPHEMY!!
i see god.
3:16-5:05 it looks like your making drugs :)
