https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSdBWQaD-So

He's making a Bloodborne trick weapon from rusty old hand saws. He's honing the back edge of the saws because why not. He's drilling into sheet metal holding it with only his bare vises I mean hands I mean look at them hands Them silly old saw teeth couldn't chew through them hands any more than they could chew through a Russian T-34 battle tank, which probably is what he tore open to get that jacket of his. He's aware of proper terminology and uses it with precision. Hell folks I think we've found a hack master.

Dunno. Never had access to a TIG welder. HAVE had access to hot glue guns.

This guy is peak Lifehacking, in that he is both risking injury (not a glove or safety guard in sight, I'm assuming no eye protection either) and spending a lot of time making shittier versions of tools that are commonly available for not a lot of money.

He's not TIG welding, he's stick welding, and there's a lot more to it than there is to hot glue. What he has made here is a lovely tap holder, that won't be as easy to use or last as long as one that's available for under $20 at any hardware store. A chain wrench like better in every way than the one in the first video costs $21.29 at home depot, and isn't made with an old bicycle chain.

e: Also is he working in an actual cave?

The goggles, do nothing!

A cut-off wheel with no guard. A grinding wheel that hasn't been faced since the '60's, clearly has a spun bearing, and has no rest. Snot welds on rusty metal. Several hours of work. All for a chain wrench that isn't even good for what a chain wrench is used for. All of his examples could be done with Channellock or Vice-Grip.

Edit: Never mind, I just saw the zombie killer saw scissors. This guy is cool with me now. If it was for real, I'd be worried, but he's just messing around like I did when I was a kid on the farm welding up nonsense out of scrap. I never followed any safety protocols either.

Do healthcare professionals in Glorious Suomi really use life hack bullshit when practicing actual for-real medicine?




I only ask because here in Glorious Nippon the healthcare professionals prefer to use Chinese herbalism bullshit, but who knows? Maybe they could share secrets discovered by single mom teachers that the government doesn't want you to know.

If you want to see a "stocked as gently caress" home shop check out Edge Precision on youtube. His home shop, as in the shop at his home's garage, has a Haas TM-1 (toolroom mill) and a Haas TL-1 (toolroom lathe). Base price for the two is $55k
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3HcwWjWOGM

What he refers to as his "storage unit" is what most folks would consider a kitted out metalworking shop. Tig welding, belt sander, forge, power hammer, brazing, drill press, etc. Basically everything but a manual mill and lathe (which he sold, details in the vid below)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww-Z0xQQPv4

His "actual" shop has a Mazak Integrex E650H (jesus gently caress!), Mitsubishi M-H80E horizontal mill (Cat 50 taper, 40HP, 80 tools in the tool changer), one of the four Star STG 5-Axis toolgrinders ever made, Mitsubishi wire EDM, Zeiss Countura CMM

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwNP3EwzQFk
This shop tour shows some of his former garage machines.


So, your coolant is eating away your GoPro cases? Machine a new one!

That's part 2, the back, but it features some awesome 5-axis shots.

The cactus act as a sort of ballistic armor, absorbing the energy of the splintering metal from the Takata airbag before it hits your face.

Ammonia and bleach create chlorine gas because of chemistry reasons I forget, vinegar and bleach create chlorine gas because bleach and weak acids don't get along well. Or get along very well, depending on what your metric for success is.

e: Bleach and ammonia might create chloramine vapor, and it's been too long since I took chemistry to know the difference.

You can mix bleach with almost anything and it'll be toxic. Hell, some things you might want to clean with bleach will create toxic fumes. Also, bleach is pretty dangerous just by itself.
