makers welcome to assembly required i'm richard karn me tim allen richard shoulder to cry
reuben get a smaller table your head looks like the size of a dime that is the largest table
i've ever seen i'm overcompensating my name is ruben kubero i currently live here in virginia
what are some of my favorite builds without a doubt that's my thor hammer for sure and also
my power hammer nice i'm the guy that people come to when they can't figure things out
we're gonna be making shark teeth it consists of everything from making an electric guitar to
making a ice cream cart i'm looking forward to seeing what you guys are going to throw at us
my name is austin peter and i'm from marietta georgia some of my favorite builds aren't
necessarily the most complicated builds i've worked on my favorite build is our chicken coop
there was no blueprint for it there's a whole wall with a window that we have a pulley system that
lets out the chickens i really want to represent millennials out there that that have absorbed
knowledge and want to show their work ethic us young guys got what it takes all right all right
but he was representing the younger people he wants to see how much plus i love georgia i got
family in georgia and i like georgia so that's kind of cool well it's always on your mind
wow you never tried stand-up did you
what we need from you guys today is a barbecue that can really move inside your crates are
materials needed to build a barbecue on the go having used these materials will test both your
ingenuity and your ability but that's not all tim hit him with it i threw in two fully functional
bicycles tear them apart do whatever you can to make them work for your barbecue on the go
two wheels three wheels four wheels your call show us something new and exciting a signature
design that says flat out i am the best maker and you got five days to do this okay okay gentlemen
your crates have arrived i'm counting it down now three two one run with it i'm running i'm running
all right i want the neck on both bikes and i want this part of the rear end on one bike
i use the beading method i am very seriously thinking about cutting this thing right in half i
don't want to tell people how to do it it doesn't hurt to make a drawing of where you're going
yeah some people like to methodically think out i am truly a more like jump in type of guy
i push the button first and see what happens
all right i'm in the process of mocking this up you know this is my general shape and just going
to tweak it and get to where i need to be wish me luck i would have used one of my motorcycling
day one i i gotta think through things and what i know is that i need a frame for the engine to
bolt to for the rear axle to attach to and then i can work towards the things that i maybe hadn't
planned fully so now it's just working out the nuances that i uh run into you know tim it's funny
these two builders could not be more different i mean you've got austin there who is methodical and
slowly thinks everything through and then you got the daredevil reuben who jumps right in i tell you
it's gonna be interesting to see who comes out on top i came into this competition wanting to
do something different and i definitely did that it's my signature it's got all the things that i
wanted i think it's a winning item and the reason why it's unique i don't know what ruben built
but i think my chances of winning are awesome it's got function form it just overall looks bad
man i'm looking forward to seeing this close up wow
i asked them to build the ultimate barbecue bike and man am i impressed reuben has created a badass
tricycle modeled after an american hot rod with a grill that looks like a v8 motor i mean look at
these welds he has incorporated his brazing torch and designed a chain driven steering mechanism
with a cool side saddle bag that holds a mini cake this creation can be typed out muscle
however look at this austin's gone full commando with his blacked out
military theme mobile barbecue and even incorporated his brazing torch to eat the grill
nice touch it's got an army ammunition box to hold all the grilling tools you could possibly need as
well as an old-fashioned ooga horn to annoy your neighbors and know it's dinner time top it off
powered by a 212 cc motor i don't know with this creation austin definitely has added more power
wow we are judging these builds on design ingenuity and functionality only one maker can
take a criteria what do you like about rubens the design is cool it's cool this is more utilitarian
so right off the bat i got to go design here with reuben okay i'm going with design with you on this
all right good next ingenuity look at that it articulates out so that you can bring it all
the way there rubens has diffused out a little bit he's got a much wider range of flame going on here
austin this is all in one place ah gosh darn it
hey i love the ingenuity going on here because he's got the engine happening he's got he's got
a really cool horn yeah i'm going ingenuity we're going here with austin x function this is a better
grill that has a better grill got better storage but you don't want to take too sharp return
and austin added a functioning motor he did he put a motor on it but this guy built a grill
that looks like a motor uh just can't decide which one of these is cooler i do know that i'm hungry
oh what lost it you dropped it yeah the hamburger it fell through
april come on over and join us hey reuben and austin welcome how's it going guys we just rode
both of your barbecues and they are amazing you did a great job so austin your theme was military
do you think that was the most original idea you should go with
i think it developed into that you know i needed something to latch that grill
down and i'm looking around the shop and i found that army box and i just went off with that well
i have to be honest dear austin when it comes to ingenuity you scored the most points with that
motor if i saw that at home depot i would buy it and reuben a man after my own heart a small
block engine designed for a barbecue that was a stroke of genius i'll tell you now just curious
do you ever take any sharp turns in your device yeah yeah you kind of got to lean
into your turns a little bit when you do make them you might want to mention that
when you send it out when you got a vehicle that's got cycles two canisters of explosive gas
in all seriousness reuben a chain driven steering mechanism and amazing design
craftsmanship on the forks and the welds a thing of beauty very original bill reuben one of a
kind all right do you guys want to know who won this yes the maker with the winning barbecue is
reuben what congratulations your build was a masterpiece it was original
unlike anything we've ever seen i mean the design of the steering mechanism was beyond impressive
and the craftsmanship you displayed putting it all together blew us away great job and you also won
five thousand dollars courtesy of ifixit they're also going to be sending you this ultimate toolkit
oh thank you ruben how do you feel about this i feel great i got to tell you something is the
most stress i ever felt in my entire life i mean it was bad but i got to throw this out austin
came down to these little tiny details it was neck and neck but you made a beautiful barbecue on the
go i really enjoyed my time on assembly required you know i love a challenge and no one likes
losing but i'm happy for reuben can't wait to see what he built it was really awesome hearing uh
tim and richard say my name at the end i truly did not expect it it is stressful it's not a joke
it is real once that clock starts ticking it's game on thank you guys it was an amazing build
it was a lot of fun i've got to go to the ems right now because i think i burned my hand
but that's my problem not yours congratulations both of you but especially reuben thanks for
being part of this guys i really appreciate it thanks austin thanks reuben you guys take care
you
