Hello, welcome to
Field Day channel. Now then, this is the Colin Furze
behind the scenes video and they've sent some questions
me to ask so, suppose I better ask them really.
Or answer them as I will do. Describe your channel!
Now the Colin Furze channel is a mixture of creation
madness and
awesomeness. I guess I've basically
make some of the weirdest stuff you'll see on the Internet. A lot of people I speak to
have normally seen something I've made but have never heard of me. Which is a great thing
cause it means the work I'm doing is more interesting than me.
World records, fastest mobility scooter, fastest pram,
I've made a wall of death, one of those things you ride a bike around on the inside.
got wolverine claws, I've got magnetic shoes for walking on the ceiling.
If you can think of anything old and strange, then I may have thought of it,
and made it. And also if you have thought of anything old and strange and I haven't made it,
maybe you should tell me. And onto the other question. First breakout video.
I would say it was the wall of death. Now this is why back in 2006, back then like
the top
YouTuber in the UK had about 30,000 subscribers. YouTube they put it on the
front page it got like 100,000 views or something in a week, which back then
probably classed as a viral video
and all with my 200 subscribers to like three thousand
subscribers. So that was like wow. It wasn't until the world's fastest mobility scooter when
I took it out in the snow,
off it went, there is so, I mean I had to just turn my phone off, cause it was just like, Beep, Beep.
And then again we have the x-men stuff and things went even bigger!
And that was like million views in a day, and for the first 3 days it was like
bang a million
bang another million. That was long answer wasn't it?
Well, this is a strange one, sometimes the idea can come
from the object and sometimes it's just something that I cook
cook up in my head. and then I go off and try and make it. The magnetic shoes that was to try and be
magneto, so I was like,
what can I do. Hmmm.
I went to buy something completely different, not a plastic horse,
so the plastic horse in the corner of I was like,
"Hello, what you doing with that?" So I bought it. So with the past horse immediately going, what am I going to
do with this plastic horse?
Obviously stick an engine in it! It''s been a tricky one really, because when you're
trying to fit something in something else
it's immediately quite difficult. So I got the bike to
roughly the same size as the horse.
Was this a match made in heaven or what?
So I had to chop it in half, and then you kind of just start
welding stuff together, and if it's not wrong, you chop off shorten or lengthen
them.
it's not particularly nice to ride because the
the bike has been made to fit in the horse, not be a nice bike.
But it's a motorhorse, it's just so the people look at and go that's hilarious. but some
people look at it and not
what a waste of time! But there were. That's the Colin Furze Channel, that's what it's all about.
Love it or hate it, why, why's he done that? who knows?
The one thing that people do tend to get shocked at when they come in the shed
is it's not actually that big. Most people when walking in they go, oh
I thought it was bigger. No it's not very big, it's about 6 meters by about
three and a half meters. Which is big for a shed. That may be something you don't
know
This shed is not that big. Not the most interesting of facts I'll be honest but
your know,
I'm 35, going on 36. Most people think I'm younger.
Uh, what else, what else can we think of?
Don't know why I'm looking at the ceiling, what possible inspiration can I get from the ceiling of things you
might not know?
There we are. In the meantime I'm gonna sit on this lovely seventies back seat I found in a skip.
Quite nice isn't it?
