Two weeks ago,
MrBeast DM'd me on Twitter.
He needed a Lightsaber for an upcoming video.
No problem.
I thought as I reached for our Protosaber, by the way, I need two lightsabers.
Two lightsabers in two weeks?
This took us years to research and develop and six months to build.
And now we need a second one.
I hope this works out.
Oh, that sound scared me.
Do it again.
You did not tell me there's sound effects back there.
I'm terrified.
And what he doesn't know is how close we were to ruining his video.
And you won't know until he watches this video for the first time, just
Waalike you guys are watching it right now.
Wait, what?
Waaa? Alright
The original Protosaber was freaking awesome.
It looked like a lightsaber.
It could cut stuff like a lightsaber and it even sounded like a lightsaber.
We're actually auctioning it off next month, but more on that later.
But for MrBeasts,
these new lightsabers need to be way simpler, reliable, and
last longer.
I'm going to get bogged on revising the ignition method.
Ben's going to find a new way to the lightsaber sound effects and I'm going
to start working on the backpack.
So it's less suspicious looking.
So I don't get detained at the border trying to bring a lightsaber into the USA.
I actually just got detained in customs.
We hustled for the next two weeks, straight working late nights,
weekends and drinking many a bubble tea, but it was looking great.
Fancy new handle design, all handmade on our lathe.
A cool looking backpack, built in speakers and it worked, super great.
It's hot.
He's going to love this.
Now we just had to get them down to North Carolina
in time for MrBeast's shoot.
All right so fun fact.
Did you know, the TSA actually allows lightsabers in your carry
on luggage? Says right here.
Now, obviously that's more for Disney lightsabers and whatnot.
Um, so technically I could probably argue my lightsaber, but
I don't think it's going to fly.
And it's a good thing
I didn't, because I actually just got detained in customs,
but it was pretty funny.
They took me into the holding room and apparently they looked me up
and they found my Wikipedia page.
So when they asked what I was doing, I said, I was going down to meet MrBeast
to be in a video and use our lightsaber.
He's like, yeah, I know you made a lightsaber.
And then he asked if I was bringing it with me.
I'm like, no, no, no, we shipped that down there.
But, uh, yeah.
Hopefully now I can get on the flight.
Darryl got us detained at the border and now James is also detained at the border.
Going well. Yeah going well.
Well, we arrived safely at the hotel, assembled the lightsabers
and made sure we were good to go.
And now we're here.
All right, check it out.
We've got the two lightsabers for your video.
I'm really excited to show you these things.
They are freaking awesome.
You want to try it out?
I mean, obviously I want to try out, has anyone ever said no to using a lightsaber?

Oh it's pretty heavy.
Oh snap.
Okay.
Could this tank on my back just literally exploded.
Yeah. It's, it's impossible for it to explode.
I never know anything they're saying, but okay.
You're going to click it all the way down.
Don't do it yet.
I was about to do it.
Again.
Oh, that sound scared me.
You did not tell me there was sound effects back there.
I'm terrified.
Bruh, I got a jump scare for that sound effect.
Oh my God.
Move it around a bit, it will make sound effects.
I'm processing how dangerous this is and just weighing the risk
of every movement.
It's way hotter than you would think.
Are we going to have a lightsaber duel?
Yeah, we're going to have a lightsaber fight.
Ah, that feels dangerous.
Does anyone else be like a real lightsaber duel is like really dangerous?
A bad idea?
Can we literally just touch tips.
Yeah.
Ahhhhhh hah haaa.
Ah, that's hot.
I don't even know how to process this.
And then do it again.
Let's go.
I figured it out.
Okay.
Oh my gosh, bro.
This thing goes quick.
I call dibs
on burning Chris because I know him the best and I know he won't get mad.
All right, I'm going for Chandler.
Sorry, Karl.
Hey Chandler!
Oh God. You're a mad man.
I love it.
You're next.
How much do I have to pay for one of these lightsabers?
Can I buy one?
$69,420
That's just what the bid starts, right?
That's true.
But we can't actually like.
Can I buy one?
Well, how much should I have to pay you to make me one of these glorious machines?
Ian?
This is cool.
Why don't I have one of these in my house?
Why don't you have one of these?
Well, you can, if you just bid on the thing, linked below.
No seriously.
We're actually giving up our Protosaber the World's First Retractable Proto-Lightsaber.
This is not a joke we've spent years and hundreds of thousands of
dollars developing lightsaber tech.
And now is your chance to own a piece of engineering history along
with it is our very first Hacksmith NFT drop, bidding starts on May 4th.
You'll just have to out bid MrBeast first.
I want one.
Checkout Hacksmith.store or watch the end of the video for more info.
Why don't you have one of these?
Well, you can, if you just bid, unless you're an idiot, you know
honestly, like I thought it would be way more gimmicky, but it like I've
turned it on and off like five times.
Like you can just keep doing it? It will work.
I just keep going.
Like it shouldn't work this well,
Take him out! Take him out!
I'm not going to die.
That's insane.
You guys are living crazy.
What are you making me do, bro?
He looks like he has an eye patch now.
Yes, no spoilers.
But these lightsabers will be used in an upcoming video to light a house on fire,
Full of children.
Watch to see it.
But wait!
I thought you said you almost ruined MrBeast's video?
Don't worry.
It's coming.
It's shoot day from MrBeast's video.
We're getting the lightsaber set up, last minute checks, and then it's out to the ice rink.
Why are we at an ice rink?
Well, MrBeast's video
is a classic amazing race style video, where two contestants
are in a race to win $100,000 cash.
They need to complete each stage via, closer and closer to that cash prize.
The next set of coordinates are inside this safe and the
contestants needs some way to open it.
Only they had some way that was... a lightsaber!
Why do you have this?
Does the government know?
Now like responsible young adults, we arrived early to make sure
everything was good to go.
When Jimmy showed up, everything looked great.
Lightsabers work perfectly.
So we had some time to kill.
Yo, I could stare at this for hours.
This is the best pair of glasses I've ever worn in my life.
You should buy it Hacksmith.store
To our health and lightsabers
This might be the first more ever cooked by lightsabers.
And like it got the job done.
Now, Ian and I have been friends since high school and a little competitive.
So we decided to have a little race to see who would slide further on the ice rink.
I had the genius idea to start on the red carpet to give us
some traction before our slide.
It took me a moment to realize what we had just done.
The production crew looked like they were going to murder us.
My heart sank.
We just ruined a MrBeast video.
We had just smashed weeks and weeks worth of work and potentially
ruined a hundred thousand dollar shoot.
You see the safes were laced with gallium to make it faster for
the lightsabers cut through them.
But the issue is when gallium gets cold, it's very brittle.
So when the safe fell, it literally shattered the door.
And MrBeast
was due to arrive in less than 30 minutes.
We leapt into Hacksmith style MacGyver action.
We collected all the shards of gallium, borrowed a bowl from the snack bar and
proceed to start melting it down.
Using our spare lightsaber.
I think we can fix this.
We set the door on smooth, concrete, and start pouring the
molten gallium back into the crack.
Dustin, one of MrBeasts
crew mentioned it took a few hours for the gallium to solidify
when they first made the safes.
We had minutes to get back out on the ice.
Luckily, the guy who brought the ice for the lightsabers had a genius idea.
Use the propane.
Propane tank upside down and it really cold when it comes up.
Yeah, that's true.
Really good idea.
Let's see if this works, we grabbed the cut off blow torch head, put it on
one of our spare propane cylinders and started pouring propane onto the gallium.
You see when gas expands, it drops in temperature significantly.
And besides making the air in the garage extremely flammable,
the gallium started solidifying.
Minutes later, it was solid.
We got the safe back on the ice with fresh paint and drew on the new cut here marks.
And it was like nothing had ever happened.
Just glad we fixed it.
Whattup boys! Yo! Hello!
A real working lightsaber
That they're going to have to use to cut these safes open
for their next coordinates.
Then who knows these coordinates could lead to the $100,000.
And when I say working, I literally mean it works. This is a real lightsaber.
Chris look what we have! Oh my god!
$100,000 is on the line boys.
All you have to do is click it twice and it will go up.
You're gonna want to go like this and follow the dotted line.
Oh gosh, he's going! He's going!
We have a real working lightsaber for you!
Oh my god that is so cool. Bro.
Yes! Now we're cooking! There you go!
What the frick just happened?
There's a $100,000 on the line. We don't have time for this activity.
Holy %$#^
That's a wrap.
We're done!
So we almost ruined MrBeasts video
Yeah, the, uh, the safe door fell, broke all the gallium.
Everyone freaked out.
There's talks about removing the scene altogether.
Like we got invited down here to do the lightsaber thing.
And then we almost like ruin literally our part of the lightsaber thing.
Jimmy would have killed us.
But we fixed it.
We fixed it.
Cause we're, we're Hacksmiths.
It's moments like these that keep you alive
or bring you closer to death.
