2020 has been a crazy year for everyone.
I mean just look at my hair and beard.
It's been rough for everyone, but we managed to keep making
content which we hope helped you guys through some of those rough patches.
It was a big year for the channel, with over 50 videos, cracking over 10 million subscribers.
We finally moved out of my garage into this huge facility.
We built some incredible things, received a world record and today
we're excited to announce the launch of our online shop at hacksmith.store.
Check it out after watching our 2020 rewind compilation! Enjoy!
Alright enough talking about it.
Let's show you the new shop!
They will be painting the ceilings and the walls...
white.
Ladies and gentlemen I'm happy to announce we've broken ground on what will become
the world's first real life Stark Industries.
And just like Edith you can actually talk to Alexa.
Alexa initiate drone strike.
Do you feel kind of like Tony Stark bringing this
never before really seen technology to investors and being like check this out?
You love batman. Let's make some batarangs.
Three, two, one, go!
How did you hit that?
It is a rocket powered titanium batarang.
Go break more stuff!
We're making the rocket bat from Fallout!
We're doing an awesome collaboration with some of the other great maker channels on Youtube.
One for Colin Furze, one for Kids Event Stuff,
one for Look Mum No Computer and of course one for Stephanie Explains All.
It's a good thing we moved into this new facility because I don't think we would
have actually been able to build the power loader in that garage.
How hard would it be to build a half-scale version of the Cybertruck?
This is fine, This is fine.
It was at this moment that he knew, he f*#$@! up.
Why did we do that?
Alright it works.
This thing drifts like nothing!
We did that by making it half the height, half the width, and half the length of a standard F-150.
All while having greater capabilities and functionality than a full-size truck.
Three, two, one, go!
That's a win! That's a win!
Yeah look at this half-scale Cybertruck for the win!
We've had a ton of fun building this half
scale Cybertruck. There's still so much more that we could upgrade.
Bogdan's finished installing the laser into our Cybertruck
officially bringing into the 21st century.
It's by far one of our most favorite projects and one of the ones we're
most proud of and we couldn't have done it without the entire team
and several volunteers who came out and helped us during the build.
Big thank you to you guys for helping with this project we
probably couldn't have done it without you/
Alright let's start loading her up.
Yeah look at that strength!
Alright so we've got all the pieces we need to start the server rebuild. Shall we get started?
Absolutely!
That's just our IT guy.
As you know we're trying to make this place a little more Stark Industries.
So we've actually gone ahead and gotten all the pieces together to make a really fancy door for
the server room complete with a built-in touch screen to make sure everything's up and running.
Please tell me it's going to have voice recognition.
It is.
Please tell me it'll have facial recognition.
It might.
So in this video I'm going to show you guys how you can recharge
your one wheel at an EV charge station.
I think it's working! Charging!
It is now official Canada has its first confirmed case of the new strain of coronavirus.
The world is a little weird right now with all the lockdowns and this big pandemic going on.
Bogdan and I chose to self-isolate here together in the shop so we can keep making projects,
to make videos, for you guys to watch, while you stay at home.
This wouldn't be a Hacksmith test video if we didn't test our project to the absolute limit.
We've got a scrap car here and I'm gonna give it a sunroof.
I'm victorious!
It's time to make a new set of Wolverine claws
but this time we're going old school and making bone claws!
Me and Bogdan are going to have a one-day build-off to
motorize these drift trikes and then have a race.
In this episode Make It Real we're building Predators heat vision and
shoulder mounted laser cannon.
Ian?
Josh?
Where is everybody?
What the?
Five men.
One night.
One Predator.
Who will survive?
Luckily Charles is back for another engineering co-op term
so I've tasked him with building me a prototype Crysis exoskeleton arm.
I'm sure you're wondering, can it run Crysis?
No, no of course it can't run Crysis it's just a blank circuit board.
I'm worthy!
In the original test I used cinder blocks that weighed
approximately 171.5 pounds or about 77 kilograms.
Let's prove it once and for all and use real Olympic weights.
Like nothing at all!
We decided to build the Civil Warrior shield a Captain America shield.
Complete with an arc reactor built right into the center.
We need to do an amazing test.
So we've set up this awesome obstacle course
for me to run through and really put the shield through its paces.
Shield!
Hey Charles got a minute?
We gotta get you started on your next big project.
Basically I'm looking to have something that can help you know raise the spirits around the shop.
I've been watching a lot Bob Ross and Pulp Fiction lately so try and work that in.
To meet James impossible demands I'm to be making Screaming Gun from Borderlands 2.
This thing looks awesome.
James is going to be stoked.
Hack Elite.
This is the Hack Screaming Gun.
The most verbally abusive blaster from Hack.
It's Hack or Smithing.
I'm gonna build a jet canoe. you need two things.
A jet and a canoe.
I got both let's get started.
Now we know without a doubt what we're going to use for the powerloader.
We're going to use...Teds! Legs!
Wait?
Just kidding we actually decided on tank treads a long time ago.
I don't think these are the tracks we're looking for.
What a weird tank. Doesn't have treads.
That's perfect!
Hey guys I'm here at an undisclosed training test site with Jonathan
Tippett the co-founder and chief test pilot of the Prosthesis Racing Mech.
We have lift off!
Oh this isn't bad at all.
Alright I think I'm gonna walk this back to Ontario.
Maybe not.
Do you know someone who probably never gets heatstroke? Aquaman.
I tried commanding the seas...
but that didn't work.
I never could do a kickflip back in the day. I wonder if i can do one now?
Go skater James!
Now the fun part.
I need to figure out how to make this thing kickflip.
I've got it! Springs!
Hey Hacksmith! Do a kickflip!
What!?
My first kickflip at age 30.
We built the junk jet from Fallout, to launch anything you can fit down the barrel.
Alright it's done.
Yeah!
Let's get some more junk!
This so much fun.
On this episode of Make it Real we're
making Morningstars weapon for Marvel's Contest of Champions.
Let's get the whole team involved.
That took awhile.
The most dangerous test montages we've ever filmed here at Hacksmith Industries and
that is saying something if you're familiar with the channel.
Everyone wishes Iron Man was real
but for some reason no eccentric billionaires have stepped forwards.
I'm looking at you Elon.
Now I'm no billionaire, but I am eccentric!
So on this episode of Make it Real I'm going to be building Silver Surfers surfboard.
Thanks to today's technology we have way more power.
That means this motor is almost equivalent to this motorcycle.
That's crazy.
Adjust the power dial slightly.
There we go, just give it a bit longer and she's going to be glowing.
Holy crap!
So listen I know you guys are used to James introducing these videos but
we've got a bit of a problem.
James has gone mad with power.
Come on guys this is totally unsafe.
You're like a brother to me.
Kylo Ren has a badass lightsaber.
We've actually been developing our own Kylo Ren
lightsaber behind the scenes for well over the past year.
Don't burn your hand off? Who do I look like Anakin?
Another oh man I thought the heat off the old Protosabers was a lot but like.
Hello there!
We've just made the world's first retractable plasma based lightsaber!
How are we going to power this?
Is that not a lightsaber?
We did it!
The world's first retractable plasma based lightsaber.
We are through!
Quarter inch steel plate!
Let's see what we can do to a car!
Look at that perfect hole!
Yeah, the lightsaber did quite a bit of damage.
We got a safe, we're gonna break into it.
You can use anything you find in the shop.
It's the play button!
Youtube must have sent us a safe!
Wait there's no way Youtube sent us an entire safe.
It was me all along.
It's 3am so no one's here.
I'm in a borrowed truck and I've got a safe in the back.
Now I get to do something I've always wanted to do.
Welcome to the first episode of Cooking with the Hacksmith.
You're going to want to make sure you have a fresh diamond 10 million subscriber play button.
Finally a dash of lemon.
I think it's done!
That's good because I'm getting kind of tired of this cooking show.
Alright let's see what happens.
I'm gonna try heating the back so we can see if we get that diamond play button.
Oh my god!
I did not mean to do that.
For this Halloween I'm going to engulf my head in flames and become Ghost Rider.
We don't think the Hacksmith knows how to tie his own shoes,
so we set out to design a pair of self-lacing shoes from Back to the Future.
We've noticed that you don't know how to tie your own shoes.
They're self-lacing shoes!
Hacksmith Industries is proud to present the self-lacing shoes.
The plasma-based retractable lightsaber was a revolution but instead of pursuing that further
we decided to devote all of our time and resources to solving a problem most have tackled by age 5.
We made Dum-E the fire extinguishing robot from Iron Man.
Which means we're one step closer to becoming a stark indust-
In real life.
Hey!
This is the Imalent MS-18 the world's brightest flashlight that you can buy.
And this is our flashlight.
Turn the light on.
I can't see a thing.
Turn on the light?
One, two, three, four.
Whoa.
What do you think? High beams? High beams.
We're building a hoverboard from Back to the Future that actually hovers!
I had a dream years ago to build the world's first real powerloader for the movie Aliens.
There's nothing stopping us from building it.
Sounds like the 239 is perfect for our application.
Should be a winner.
What do you say? Let's pack it up. Let's get her going.
Well I hope you guys enjoyed our 2020 Rewind compilation.
We made a lot of projects.
Huge thank you to all our subscribers both old and new.
