- What's up guys and welcome back.
Today, very special video, I was sent an email by a guy
by the name of Daniel Alterman or Daniel Scott
as it says here, Daniel Scott woodworks.
He's a fan of the channel, he sent me a video
saying that he built a puzzle specifically for me,
named it the Whiskey bar puzzle
and that's what's inside this crate right now.
He sent me a video explaining how he was actually a veteran
in the army and discharged with a combat PTSD.
I can kind of relate to that 'cause my father
also was discharged from the Canadian
military forces for that.
Hats off to you Daniel and thank you for your service.
Obviously this guy put a lot of work into it,
he paid like, $300 of postage just to get this crate to me.
Let's get into solving it.
But before we do, if you guys wanna send me puzzles,
I left a P.O box bellow because it's a P.O box
you can't send it through FedEx or UPS
or anything like that, it has to be like,
USPS or Canada post.
It can't be anything that requires a signature.
Every now and then I might make a video
solving the puzzles that you guys send me.
Now, Daniel had a few rules
because this actually has to be mounted on the wall,
however because I'm the one solving it
I don't wanna mount it,
I'm gonna Antoine mount it on the wall.
We're gonna time-lapse that for you guys
and then once that's done we're gonna get into solving it.
I have no idea, I don't know what the level is here,
I have no clue how to do any of this puzzle,
so it should be fun.
If you guys like this content, go ahead and like this video
and subscribe if you're new here
and let's get into mounting this Whiskey bar puzzle.
(melancholy music)
(ding)
(upbeat rock music)
Looks pretty cool, gotta say.
I love the decanter.
Okay, you can take it off.
Okay.
There's a magnet here, you see that?
Solved.
No I don't know.
I don't know what this is.
There's a magnet here which is really cool.
So these things are attracted.
I don't know what that does yet but there is a magnet here
which allows me to...
And then this bolt, so I'm gonna unscrew this bolt.
And inside this bolt is, what is this, oo, oo, maybe,
maybe this, no, okay we'll put that there.
I mean, it's a little.
Is it maybe here.
No.
Okay, so I don't know what that's for yet,
gotta be for somethin'.
Let's put this aside for now.
Maybe we gotta fill it with liquid, I don't know.
So again.
I'm gonna go over here, see what's happenin'.
Just gonna try to hit these bolts with this magnet
and try to pull things out.
See if anything gives here.
That, no.
Okay, we're gonna scan for an extra magnet here somewhere.
Take this off for now.
And this.
(upbeat jazz music)
So, I mean I'm guessing that this has to extract something
somewhere, I don't know where and I don't know what.
(clicking sounds)
What is this for?
Why is that there?
So thing is this little thing will fit in here
but the lid is stopping it from going in.
Maybe I can push it in there.
There's like a button or somethin' in there.
iPhone out, use my light.
Looks like a solid piece of wood in there.
I don't wanna put this in and regret it,
so I'm gonna get like a...
(slow jazz music)
what is this?
Why am I, is this part of it?
Oh it's just a light, don't wanna unscrew the light do I.
Maybe I do, maybe I unscrew the light for no reason.
Oh, that's not good.
I don't know what to do.
Kinda stumped.
So this also came with a remote control.
Which was here.
This remote control, you can turn off the light,
you can turn it on, that's the battery, oh.
Okay.
Now this top part is loose.
I'm not gonna force anything but that top part is loose.
Okay, all right.
You said no banging, no smacking or forcing really.
What if I, use this,
screw it in.
Didn't seem to do anything.
I feel like this has somethin' to do with the bolts.
Like there's one,
like there's one bolt that's gonna, just come out.
(clicking sounds)
I don't know what to do.
One thing, is that this, was on there.
This has gotta be on there for a reason I'm thinking.
I'm thinking there's a reason for that.
Should we uh, should we fill this up with liquid?
I'm gonna fill this up with liquid.
Be right back.
Okay.
We've got some of the finest bourbon in here now.
Bourbon water.
Maybe the weight of that effects something, again.
Like this moves.
Why.
Guess not.
Why was that little thing there?
Why is this bolt here?
Is that it just to hide something.
This really has me stumped.
See I don't know if the solution is simple
or if it's really complicated, I have nothing to go on here,
like there's no, you know if he woulda said it's a level one
I woulda been like, oh, you know probably.
It's just, I don't know.
Magnet has to do something and so does this little vial.
(tapping sounds)
Lookin' for some type of seam.
Gotta say, pretty stumped so far.
Let me know in the comments what you would do right now.
If it requires forcing or anything like that,
throw that out the window because I've tried that
and I feel like if I do force it some things will break.
In the message he sent me he also said,
if you feel like it's going to force,
if it's going to break, it probably will.
So.
Is there a clue on the plug?
No.
(thumping sounds)
Thought maybe banging my head against the wall would help.
So this thing moves, doesn't move very much.
I can push this side in and then this goes...
I feel like I'm gonna break it if I do that.
Oh.
Look at this.
That comes out when I push this in.
We're getting somewhere.
Oo, that's pretty ingenious.
You can push this shelf in just enough
for that to have a little bit of space.
Just gonna take this out and it all falls apart.
Actually I'm gonna move that just in case.
Oh, hello.
Honestly not sure if I should have taken that out.
I'm hoping, that I'm not just breaking this.
That's really hard to unscrew, that one was pretty easy.
Don't know if I was supposed to take that off,
in all honesty.
Somethin's up with this shelf.
Somethin' is up with the shelf.
I honestly don't know if something is up with the shelf
or if I'm just tampering with this
when I'm not supposed to be.
It's kind of elusive.
Oh, now it goes, pushes in this side.
Oh, it's like spring loaded.
Oh.
(spring sounds)
what?
More vials.
Why?
What's happening?
Okay, so we got three of these vials now,
I'm just gonna open them
to make sure there's nothing inside.
They are absolutely identical.
Oh, baby.
Oh what is this?
What is this?
(hydraulic sounds)
(upbeat music)
That's pretty awesome.
That is dope!
What do we got up here?
Oh, it's a deck of cards.
That is the puzzle.
There's a deck of cards in there.
That is insane.
This is insane.
See, all the while I thought it had to be plugged in
just for the light.
That was a bit of a ruse.
At one point yeah, I wasn't sure
if I was breaking this thing.
Or if I was tampering with it when I shouldn't have.
But oh man, that is so cool.
How cool is that?
Draplin Design playing cards.
These are really cool cards by the way.
I didn't have these, so thank you so much,
I'm gonna put that on my shelf.
Wires go here and there's like,
a little hydraulic system right here.
Wow.
Thoroughly impressed.
Well done.
Why were there three vials?
Where's that crate?
There's more vials here.
Little brown vials.
Oh there's a note here.
Just when you thought this thing couldn't get any cooler.
Congratulations Chris, I hope this puzzle mad your day,
now you can open the extras box and claim some more stuff.
Okay, let's head over to the extras box.
All right, so, I just wanted to uh,
I just wanted to show you how cool this is
'cause you can get a full view of it.
Check this out.
(hydraulic sounds)
That is, so cool.
So when you open it up, press up,
so cool, you got his logo here, Daniel Scott woodworks.
And then that, if you wanna get a shot,
we'll get some b roll here, you can see the inner mechanics
of this and where the other vials were hidden.
Check that out, I'll head over to the table.
He sent me this extra box that says, extras
and it was meant to open after I solved it
so we're gonna check that out right now,
I'm kind of excited.
(upbeat music)
These are the vials, the magnet and this is the after box.
It says after on it.
Because of my experiences I'm always on guard
and I tend to have such a negative perspective on the world
and on people in general.
I always assume someone is going to take advantage of me
or try to hurt me in some way,
that prevents me from interacting with anyone
or from having any friends.
But as I keep getting deeper into knowing your channel
and from interacting with people in the community
it is pealing back those blinders and really showing me
that people are good and is okay to open up
and talk to someone.
Don't you think that says something about the impact
you can have on people.
I put myself way the F out there
and you received it with nothing but kindness.
I was already jumping around the house screaming
like a little girl at that point.
Thanks from the bottom of my heart
for taking the chance on me.
And thanks again for making me feel connected to the people
for the first time in 10 years.
P.S, already working on number two.
Dan, that means so much to me, thank you so much.
Very, very kind words from Dan here.
Oh wow.
Okay, so we have an extra bolt,
in case we ever get stuck.
Oh cool, so he included extra vials, extra nuts,
this here to tighten the screws and extra,
let's see if this works, oh, an extra key,
which actually does work.
I guess the vials were just there as in you can like,
leave messages in them which is really cool.
And that's I guess what he meant by customizing it.
I think that's a really good idea
and that's probably something I'm gonna do,
leave this up on the wall and put some vials
here like maybe a hint or something
for the next clue you know.
Very cool, very cool indeed, this is really, really awesome.
The decks he hooked me up with, Tempo,
I do not have these, those are pretty.
Bicycle Bros playing cards, oh, look at that,
look at that guy.
Purple Jack Sellers, also do not have these
and a deck, a second deck of Draplin playing card
which I'm gonna open right now 'cause he told me to.
Very, very cool design of playing cards.
(shuffling sounds)
Gotta say man, I'm quite taken aback by this,
by this amazing gift, thank you so much Dan,
means a lot to me man and hang in there,
again thanks man.
Thank you to everybody watching.
