A small but VERY illegal LEGO build

In full disclosure, this build is definitely difficult in that final step of assembly. The alignment of the plates must be close to perfect, and even then there’s a lot of struggle to force the pieces into place. The fascinating thing is that ultimately there’s no stress in this build--these are incomplete connections. So in the classic sense this build is VERY illegal, and yet the bricks are 100% fine. It’s just somewhat fragile. I also didn’t show some ’off camera’ work to tweak a few of the plates that didn’t quite line up (only because it would be boring to watch). That being said, I don’t know if there’s a cooler LEGO wheel that is this small with so few pieces. Definitely a nice little desk ornament / fidget toy. ☺️ The cost of shipping for the pieces for this build is probably more than the LEGO plates themselves, but here’s a great BrickLink store in the USA that I’ve ordered from many times:
