The KING of RANDOM & the Hacksmith!

My frustration with YouTube is the the projects I'm really passionate about and feel really good about, don't get watched don't get promoted they don't get any revenue you and then I'll do something where I'm like this is really stupid I almost feel bad about posting it and then it'll just go viral James: Yep I have the exact same issue and that's why we're trying to do one-day projects as well because it's just like why do we spend hundreds of hours Engineering something to have it fall flat on its face cause that's the problem yeah it doesn't matter how much time you put into a project it's how you present it and how cool it is yeah Hey do you guys remember that time Grant Thompson came to visit Hacksmith industries? Of course you don't because that's happening right now this video is sponsored by Nord VPN, start protecting yourself on the web today using my coupon code below and save 77% off a three-year plan James: Grant, nice to see you! Grant: Brought you some Tim Hortons stopped by for some Boston cream so this is the place James: Yeah come on in, this is the spy car in progress Grant: This is legit, a spy car James: you'll see that like that's the that's the test we're doing today Grant: I haven't seen any previous videos coming out tomorrow oh really yeah oh no kidding this is cool like a James Bond James: yep take this start just start there's gonna be a whole series of videos I'm talking rocket launchers under the headlights a grappling hook launcher in the grill dispensers for tire spikes and oil slicks and for romantic nights out a built-in projector so you have a movie theater wherever you want and what I'm most excited for is jet engines in the trunk okay doing the ejection seat today Grant: Check this out the sleeping pod yeah I recognize that on the way here I also notice the train tracks and the walking path of that how you doing man good to see it recognize you Ian good to meet you guys okay is this the one that you actually have to be worthy? James: Umm, this one's just really heavy Grant: This is awesome, see this is what I love about your workshop is like you're doing all the things that I wanted to Grant: I just gotta take a second to just take this all in there there is so much stuff in here it's insane you got like your sleeping pods up here full on Iron Man suit wonder women see which I'm guessing you use for like occasional parties on the weekends yeah it's fun some of this stuff I don't even recognize I haven't played video games since a Nintendo 64 so I don't recognize half this stuff and how many Thor's Hammer's have you got cause I see them out front I see them... James: I think we own about six right now or making a few more so yeah try picking up Grant: Okay so feels like lead? James: yeah that's about 75 pounds Grant: Dude that's that's got some weight to it right uh it's not a one hander for sure you know what you need to do is almost make a set of barbells dumbbells you know go to the gym and work out with a thor's hammer wouldn't that be the coolest thing just like in the gym just crank it this out that actually is really heavy what else you got okay so I reckon it's funny I've seen a lot of your videos so I recognize a lot of things it's not coming together I feel like I'm James: Have you seen the blitz shield yet? Grant: yes I didn't see you test it though James: So we're still trying to find a gun range that will let us shoot it through but the neat thing with this besides how heavy it is is we got this little dial here Grant: I know that reminds me of the world's brightest flashlight James: yeah so this is this is getting up there like this is a 16 LEDs there apparently 9,000 lumens each each okay it's r18 so that's like 165 thousand lumens yeah which is three times the brightness of an IMAX projector okay yeah although an IMAX projector is much more focused Grant: How long can you run them? James: It's actually not too bad I think I think we could probably get like half an hour really out of the battery pack Grant: See it you could hack in it yeah so it gets pretty warm like if you feel here it's already getting a bit toasty that's what I was wondering like could you hack an LCD screen to make your own like hundred inch projector you could really your own IMAX screen for that matter yeah okay Grant: so I have heard how heavy this is James: So we actually did take it to an airsoft game we were able to run slightly with it but Bogdan went a bit too crazy with it and he actually trips and fell and like flipped over it because it was so heavy so they'll be in the test video as well Grant: And that's because you built it out of steel? James: Yeah solid steel Grant: Did you bend it too? James: Bent it with Thor's hammer Grant: Did you really? James: Yeah we literally we put on the table clamp it down I took Thor's hammer and smacked it, we've literally managed to use that for like the past four projects for some element of the project we've hit a project with the hammer Grant: You know what you need to do is use that as a counterweight for your flying like Iron Man project this new one it's really Grant: That is really cool yeah I haven't actually seen the movie yet, I've heard that it's one of the best James: All right so if you pull that extend Grant: Well that's got some weight to it you James: Yep everything we make super heavy alright and then you want to go back you just flip this the other direction and then pull the switch again yeah so actually over here That's our Han Solo blaster okay and we're planning on blowing up the Death Star with the blaster that's just a flare gun Grant: Good for you, it just shoots flares yeah awesome I would love to talk to you about legalities in Canada it's a bit of a gray area I've learned a lot about legalities recently I actually sat down with the city yesterday before I flew up here oh I'm sat down with the entire city chief of police all the fire marshals the risk assessment manager the mayor of the city yeah so I learned a lot about what the city thinks is legal what like very interesting system where like nobody knows and it's a gray area for everybody there's no right way to do anything it's just like do you get caught and do you get prosecuted or not James: That makes a lot of sense actually Woah woah, Riley if you're gonna watch potentially dangerous stuff on YouTube you should really be using a VPN What's a VPN? Yes Riley a VPN in this day and age everything you do online is being watched by someone or something and it's super important to keep your privacy even if you don't think you have anything to hide you really want some company owning your entire browsing history I know I don't luckily we've teamed up with Nord VPN and if you use my coupon code below you can save seventy-seven percent on a three-year membership that's only two seventy-five a month plus with up to six devices per account you're protected on your laptop tablet phone and even your desktop computer and with over 4,000 servers in 62 countries you can browse the web from anywhere and Nord VPN will never save or share your data and there we go now you can watch all the dangerous videos on YouTube you want. Riley: thanks! Plus it goes without saying you should never be doing any private work or banking on public Wi-Fi without the use of the VPN Riley: Time to do some private banking on a public Wi-Fi network, oh... James: Free Wi-Fi is the easiest way for hackers to steal your personal information or money Grant: So you got a great great setup here you could pretty much do everything James: Yeah let me show you the plasma cutter then so yeah this is oiur new baby and we have literally used it for almost every single project since we got it it makes everything so much easier especially for welding. Grant: Could this double as a waterjet table also James: No only yeah Grant: Did you use this for the Han Solo blaster? James: Yep so we got at the Han Solo blaster we've got Frostmourne it's a sword we're building part of the Captain America shield brackets Grant: That explains why it's heavy it's like really heavy So I see the color scheme its kind of like you got the fire engine red and the gold, is that anything to do with James: So that is kind of Iron Man themed Jarvis: The render is complete Tony: Little ostentatious don't you think tell you what throw a little hotrod red in there Jarvis: Yes that should help you keep a low profile James: And then everything else is yellow and red which is very just a comic book okay right primary colors Grant: I always wondered why instantly comical because you very much there make it real yeah I'd say like you probably got to handle on make it real I mean I think so I'm saying even the Wonder Woman lasso ooh uh-huh all you need to do is attach electrodes to the end that does a lie-detector test true yeah James: And then back here we have some more of our really nice equipment this is a tormach PCNC 440 milling machine so it's a small CNC machine Tormach's been really great to us they've given us all these machines Grant: Okay so I got a question for you you have some pretty impressive pieces of machinery in here okay is there anything in your workshop that you don't have the you wish you had James: So the plasma table was like I keep saying it was the last piece of the puzzle and I truly believe that because we have literally used like almost every single project since we got it in here and I've wanted one for years because my very first piece of equipment that I ever bought was a CNC laser cutter which can only do plastic and wood but because it could do plastic and wood it opened up so many possibilities for projects that coupled with a 3d printer so I saw the plasma table as the next evolutionary step where you can make stuff out of metal Grant: Let's check out upstairs James: Our motto So the actual ones have started shipping so I'll be getting my actual boring flamethrowers soon and I'm really excited I'm I'm just curious how he even did it Grant: Can we expect that as a video on the Hacksmith Channel? James: Oh yeah and then obviously a comparison to show that this one is much better yeah obviously this is where we film stuff we've got one camera set up here constantly just as it's easy because we always do the intros and outros here did Grant: Did you build this shop? James: No so this shop was built back in the 80s actually so it was actually built by a trucker that's why it's got the huge door he's need to actually pull a transport truck in here Grant: it looks like it's in pretty good shape James: Yeah so it was very well built we're lucky that it was in decent shape because before I bought this place the previous owners rented it out to some rather sketchy clientele and literally when we got this place it was like a hoarders nightmare my guys really there's a piles of garbage everywhere and we had to clean it all out but luckily the bones of this place were fine and we painted all the walls to there for the dirty ceiling still kind of Grant: I remember when you're starting out your wall had nothing on it except your Wolverine claws Are these the pans you're talking about yep from PUBG yeah James: So we made a few mini ones to do as a giveaway Grant: Oh interesting what would you say the project you're most proud of James: Probably the Captain America shield the new one because that was a good solid weeks of like six weeks of design-build and the whole team like I spent the first one or two weeks designing it and then it was almost a month straight of the entire team working full-time to build it like each of those shields probably took maybe like a hundred hours of labor at least just inlike welding and grinding Grant: And you've got 3 of them okay there's a prototype up here on the wolfpack wall oh wow is this the railgun this is the wait a minute it's the crossbow style yeah oh that's right you shot a red hot rebar through like a zombie head yeah yeah right and that stayed monetized no problem James: It did actually and really yeah Grant: Okay this looks familiar I got one of these I actually just started using this the Lulzbot TAZ6 sat in my workshop for a year and collecting dust it's because I don't know how to do any 3d model on your 3d mock-ups yeah I finally got into fusion 360 okay I still feel like a beginner but I designed a couple Lego bricks nice and printed them lock and I've almost got them to fit together so I'm really interested in picking your brain on the whole 3d modeling for sure cuz I feel like once you once you get that lock down then it opens up access to all these tools James: yeah so we got more printers into there yeah we have four of them actually Grant: Are you working with the manager are you negotiating all your deals James: Pretty much all self-managed it's a lot of work Grant: What did you used to do? yeah so I was a product developer at a company that made projectors but I helped work on designing digital projectors by the company that used to make IMAX projectors okay so imax actually when imax went from film to digital they had their projectors made by Christie digital which is actually a local Kitchener company which is the world leader in digital projection technologies maybe they're one of the biggest most movie theaters you go to it's a Christie projector and then this is the original laser cutter Grant: How often do you use this? James: Oh we still use it probably on a daily basis so it's it's still super useful Grant: That's what i wanted to ask you, what's your must-haves like which tools would you consider like the staples James: yeah if I was to start again I'd probably get a 3d printer, plasma cutter, and welding equipment if I had enough money plasma table right so yeah Grant: So yeah this is for cutting wood and plastics yeah so even I kind of like little puzzle boxes yeah James: So it's great for doing electrical boxes for like little projects and whatnot and the neat thing with this is this is generated from a website called makercase.com you very say I want a box that measures 8 inches by 12 inches by 4 inches and automatically makes the plans for you with the cutout you hit print you can hot glue it together really so it's just another one of those like super convenient things My frustration with YouTube is the the projects I'm really passionate about and feel like really good about, don't get watched yeah I don't get promoted they don't get any revenue you and then I'll do something where I'm like this is really stupid I almost feel bad about posting it and then it'll just go viral James: yeah I have the exact same issue and that's why we're trying to do one-day projects as well because it's just like why do we spend hundreds of hours Engineering something to have it fall flat on its face that's the problem yeah it doesn't matter how much time you put into a project it's how you present it and how cool it is yeah Grant: I want to know about your Captain America suit though that's legit where do you get something like that? James: yeah that came from the killer body Chinese company it's licensed so it is it's a pretty legit costume and we we weathered it to make it look even better so when we walk over there you'll see we uh we actually tore holes in it and rub it in the dirt and a bit of black spray-paint brown shoe polish Grant: You know I was looking at your pictures from your photo shoot and I was like this yeah it looks very realistic yeah James: so what one of the cool features we added which we saw in a screenshot from the movie before the movie came out is this yeah so some people said it was like vibranium scales or something it was something that was never even mentioned in the movie but we literally ripped holes and found this material glued it in and made it look like it's actually inside the entire suit so it's funny you mentioned this so we are looking at industrial properties now because we want to expand we don't have enough room like this is actually only half the team right now and it's already getting crowded here this is Evan he's our Video Editor Evan and then we've also got Benjamin who does electronics engineering as well Oh awesome but anyways we're torn between trying to find a farm to buy because a farm means we'd have lots of outdoor space for big projects or an industrial property in an actual industrial district well I'm totally not planning that Grant: I'm gonna be honest man I'm pretty impressed and pretty jealous it's a setup that you got here looks amazing this really is and I love how secluded it is it's so there's your next trick is to make an Iron Man suit it's got muscle definition James: That would be quite the challenge Grant: Can I see your pod yeah James: This was actually this is the very first example of being able to build a really cool project because of a sponsorship and we were really excited about it so just like I love wait we can get paid to make something cool that we get to keep afterwards Grant: like literally in my house I'm gonna have one of these just cause sometimes you just need to get away where it's quiet and air conditioned there yeah can I step up and take a look again yeah if I wanna see what motors you're driving it with James: It's actually a garage door opener it's literally a garage door opener strapped to the bottom really yep and then all the tech in it is literally just consumer tech that has apps for Android or iPhone or whatever and we just have it all controlled by that tablet Grant: Now this isn't a one day build now did you conceptualize it James: Ian actually designed this one I j Grant: That's something we can talk about like when it's more casual like the companies are working with ad agencies experience his numbers definitely awesome James: And with that we'll cut secret meeting time! all right so you guys wanna sign my robot arm let's go just like a big NR well I hope you guys enjoyed that video grant came up for a few days to learn a bit more about engineering and taught me a bunch about how to run my business better unfortunately we've got to shoot an outro so let me be the first to say if you're not subscribed to the king of random yet head on over to his channel and do so he's a great guy and his channel produces some awesome content let's give him over ten million subscribers and if you guys want to see some more behind-the-scenes content check out our vlog channel we have another video right here featuring both grant Thompson and Evan frickin kale and yes we might do a collab someday
