This will very likely be the biggest match cube in the world as soon as it's built!

A couple of years ago I make a match cube and thought it was a really cool thing to look at and handle, some time later i made a bigger one with the longest matches I could find (the one I show at the beginning of the video).

Then about a year ago me and Gemma found these wood sticks abandoned in a lake's shore, they were everywhere litered across some 200 meters of coast. We picked them up and brought them back. They were full of water so must have weight around 60-70kgs!

They have been drying since then and waiting for the right project to come along. I've had the idea of making giant matches with the sticks to make a cube and today was the day!

There was a lot of thinking and calculating as well as thinking of every step in order to optimize the process. In the end, even with Gemma's help doing some drilling it took me around 6 hours to get everything done.

Next time I'll be screwing the heads and sticks together and hopefully assembling the biggest Match cube... IN THE WORLD!
