On this episode make it real we're trying something different, we're making the Blitz shield from Rainbow six
Do you guys remember Riley he started volunteering here about a year ago
when he graduated high school this spring we actually hired him on
full-time for the summer to help out around the shop before he heads to
Conestoga College to follow in our footsteps in becoming an engineer
Riley here just graduated from high school and as per tradition he's burning
some of his old notes and starting a full-time job at Hacksmith industries
anyway employees here at Hacksmith industries get to work on their own
projects occasionally - so without further ado here's Riley's Blitz Shield build
Big thank you to Wix for sponsoring this video but more on that later
Hey guys welcome back to another episode of Riley makes it real this
Woah Woah Woah this might be your project but this is my wall okay
Okay so the reason I really wanted to try this project was because I play a lot of Rainbow six siege and I
wanted to see if it was possible to make a similarly bulletproof shield that is
also usable and I guess we're gonna find out if it's really as easy to flip it
sideways and fire on the enemies as as the game makes it look
so let's check out the design
so judging by the CAD model right now it's probably not going to be wieldly because
it's supposed to be about a hundred and ten pounds but let's make it anyways
I'm going to be using the new maverick CNC plasma table to cut this out which makes
my job super easy the machine was provided by elite metal tools which is
like the Amazon of industrial machinery with tons of products and free shipping
Thor: Without my hammer I can't
Another!
That's heavy!
If you're not worthy you shouldn't be using the hammer
Thor's hammer is so useful
James: What did you do? Riley: I'm an idiot gotta bend this quarter inch steel around this.
Good luck with that
So we're gonna be measuring the peak brightness of the blitz shield LED
assembly using this light meter here and I've got it set to record the maximum
that it gets to and see how bright this is compared to some other things welding,
the Sun outside, and you know maybe some other stuff too
as you can see we got to 1635 so now we're outside it's about 10 degrees out
which is a pretty warm for Canada in the spring and it's about 4 p.m. and we're
gonna see how bright it is from the Sun
Ohhh it's gettin hot!
- flicker it on again yeah that's all of them
Like, much hotter than the others
it's like an IMAX
how hot are those? hundred and thirty Celsius what we need proper cooling
Oh yeah it's getting dimmer one what's wrong yes it was getting it just
that one well yeah you know it hit 134 celsius so six quality control control this video

website online we're currently working on revamping our website and we chose
Wix to do it right once we're done we'll have full project pages with more
information about each project so you learn even more about how we make our
projects so if you guys want to make an awesome website to click on my link in
the description below and go to Wix calm to get started today
Yeah, we'll have to take it to the gun range and unload some 9mm's on it
Make it look war-torn
Twist your arm backwards this is definitely not comfortable oh
yeah by the way I forgot to mention I literally just welded that. Now charge!
I'm sharing to instagram!
So you guys can see projects before the videos come out isn't that great
Now for an extra special technique both like and paint same time
So it's gonna be the first functional test of the shield fully assembled and
hopefully it's going to work right now I'm using a sketchy relay set up because
Bogdan is gonna wire up a really cool switch next week
Now there are two ways this can go it's either gonna make a really big spark or
it's gonna work and I don't know which one's gonna happen
Evan, you really might want to close your eyes for this one!

If you guys enjoy our projects and want to help support the channel and consider
following us on social media like Twitter Instagram and Facebook plus you
get to see sneak peeks of projects on before the videos even come out and
you can even give us feedback and suggestions for those projects as we're building
them like this one! so what Naomi was talking about was an LCD light valve and
it's basically this little LCD panel that when you apply a voltage to it
darkens now these are most commonly used in welding helmets to protect your eyes
from welding flashes what we're going to do is make an array of these on the
bulletproof glass of the Blitz shield so you don't blind yourself while you're
strobing your enemies
show everything its what the fans want Bogdan
So a really cool feature we've got is this the auto dimming LCD panel which
works in the exact opposite of the light
For more information on how electronics works please check out our circuit
diagram at maker.io there are links in the description below
All right I hope you guys enjoyed the build video it was a riot to create
Riley you know our policy on puns yeah.... So anyways I hope you guys enjoyed that
project let us know what you thought about it in the comments below but make
sure you're subscribed notifications turned on because we are going to take
this to an airsoft game to see if it's actually functional and we're also going
to take it to a gun range and shoot it so make sure your subscribe thanks for watching
Flawless!
