Lego Minecraft Pickaxe

This will show you how to make a Lego model of the pickaxe from the video game Minecraft.

Because its 8-bit style every 2x2 square equals 1 pixel, so its accurate with the real thing.  Its about 3-4^th actual size so you can still use it, just not as an actual pickaxe.

The steps are in the photos i've highlighted the pieces you need to add.

Here is a list of parts needed to build this. (see photo)

The first photo in each step with building is what pieces you'll need for that step.

First make the first layer of the base.

Make "steps" with the 2x6 plates, placing each one 2 studs away at the top. (see photos)

Now add the second and third layer to finish the handle.

Its the same sort of technique as the first layer but you're crossing over the first layer in the opposite direction to lock  it together. (see photos.)

Now make the pickaxe head.  You'll build 4 different parts that will fit together in the end. (step___)

Part one of the head.

(see photos)

Part two of the head.

Part three of the head.

Fourth part of the head.

Now to put all the pickaxe parts together.

Now you're done!

Have fun smashing blocks!
