friend eric chang um with whom uh we are tested here produce our oculus series eric is an old
friend since long before he was at oculus before that he was a dji and before that he was at lytro
uh and we have been geeking out together since low those long days ago and eric just called
me up and said hey i've got a thing for you i'd like to drop it off and i think you should set
up a camera when you open it because it's going to blow your mind and i thought hell
spells margaret that sounds like a good deal to me so what i have here is a priority mail package
uh from a friend of eric's and this is for me to open so i'm about to do that
i'm very excited i i really i've rarely gotten a gift where someone says i think you should set
up a camera to witness yourself seeing this ah there we go adam these gifts are from my
good friend thomas o'brien he's an amazing 3d printing wizard in metalsmith based in utah
they gently and respectfully request that i film an unboxing and a reaction
thank you eric and thank you thomas o'brien
it is heavy whatever this is there is a weight to it that's significant that's just the
box
it feels like once i get through the tissue paper there's still another
layer to unwrap and so there is
okay missed the garbage can like always wait a minute this isn't best car is it oh
oh holy [ __ ] balls it is some absolutely holy cow
stunning oh my gosh oh um these these these are are cast clearly
uh they are cast it's really hard to communicate to you just how heavy they are and he's really
gone and cast them like ingots they've got a draft angle here so instead of being perfectly square
like uh we just did a one-day build where i i uh uh weathered some best car aluminum cnc'd best car
this is cast and it feels frankly like it's cast in something heavier than steel these feel heavier
than steel should feel at this size wow oh man it is so pretty hold on i'm gonna get some close-ups
oh wow this is so pretty look at this
it's got a real topography to it right so it's not just a flat surface it's got a real
yeah and then here's the draft angle i was talking about see that it comes in a little like that and
little like that that's exactly how ingots are cast you frequently see that draft angle on
things and i mean it's to be honest the coolest part about these is it's actually a little hard
to pick them up yeah the coolest thing about these is that they're heavy enough is there tungsten in
here is there lead in the middle what did you do you mad man um the the coolest part about
them is that they're actually a little heavy to pick up and that feels kind of like an authentic
experiential thing that they should be hard to pick up because it's best car listen to that yeah
