Seriously, just Google "Armchair" and look at the images... it’s absolutely insane. I’d drop a link here, but I can't be bothered. I actually wanted to buy one, but let's face it—I don't have the cash to drop that kind of money right now. So, I’m thinking about building a DIY version at home... though that sounds like pure madness. If anyone has any advice on what materials I'd need, I'm all ears. Also, if there's an expert out there who could explain how the treads would actually work... (please send sketches).☕It would need to be electric.

You can probably find that at Eurosport or one of those similar retail chains—it’s just a hockey jersey, after all. If you happen to be in the city, head over to Medved and grab one there. 🙂

I can't upload any images right now. It’s a memory card issue, and a friend of mine lost the adapter for it, so I'm stuck without any way to post them.

My apologies. I was commuting from the suburbs into the city, so I didn't have a spare second—plus my e-reader is acting up again. I’ll get everything uploaded today along with the draft.

Yeah, see? It’s not exactly rocket science. I’ll get it uploaded this afternoon once I’m back from class. You'll see.

I’ve spent some time scrolling through that site myself. It’s incredibly confusing, but here’s the gist: you have one tube that needs to slide into the other—it’s a tight fit. You drill into the smaller tube to set your screws, then cut a slot into the larger tube so the screws can pass through it. Between those screws, you insert rings similar to the ones you saw in the video. Note that these aren't solid rings; they also have slots. You wrap them in a way that makes them look like complete circles. Above each slot on the ring, there should be a letter that forms part of the combination. When the code is correctly aligned, the slots in the rings line up to create a straight path, allowing the screws to slide through unimpeded. If you don't get it right, the screws just get stuck in the rings. If this makes any sense—I’ve actually built a few cryptexes myself. Some were gifts, others just sit on my shelf; it’s a decent little stress-relief hobby for me. Anyway, take another look at the tutorial. Maybe it’ll click this time.

Look, I’ve been in this space for quite some time now, and honestly, I haven't run into many people who actually understand what we're talking about. Things shifted a bit after the Da Vinci Code craze hit the mainstream—if you recall, everyone was obsessed with those cryptexes, those little devices with letter dials instead of numbers. Anyway, if you're interested, I'm curious to know if anyone else here is actually active in this field.
