I was hoping to at least have it finished by today but even that slipped past me. I wish I had back that first week in Jan when I had the cold, spent a week moving really slow. I still have to attach the outer rings to the head, grind the stem on the head, weld two spikes to the center of the stem, and then weld that to the handle. And then put the...

Here's a short movie film my brother made. I wasn't sure what to do with it, it's not like anything else on my channel really.
New build video the end of the month!

Here's a video of me mixing up some soylent and talking about it. Because I have a cold it seemed a little too low energy for general consumption (consumption, and it's food related, get it? I'll see myself out), but you guys might get a kick out of it!

I took a road trip today!
So in one of my very first Q&A's I mentioned that I was not smart enough to make the mechanism of the gunblade, and that since the Gunblade doesn't actually fire, it seemed like a prohibitive amount of R&D to invest in something just to make it look cool.
Enter Andrew, a machinist gunsmith. He s...

I haven't been posting much lately, but I should be back on track from here to Christmas at least. I was originally going to give a detailed account of all the things that have slowed down production lately, and while I'm happy to go into details with anyone who is curious, that makes for a very dry post so instead have a video we did at the "2016 ...

Some messing from yesterday. The kids ran off with this head that I'd used in a previous video, it was AWOL for ages, found it in the leaves yesterday (hence the big slice that was already gone out of it.) Russ who makes the heads is going through a spot of bother at the moment, so if you know anyone who needs a monster head target for anything che...

On Friday I finished the latest sword, on Saturday I had a guy in a Cloud Strife outfit appear to smash up some stuff in costume. But since Sunday morning I've basically spent every waking hour editing the new build video. It's going to be an hour and a half long! Please find attached a video of one of the many things that happened in the bac...

The build video will be out this weekend. I'd like to blame this month's delay on the fact that my TIG welder broke, but in truth that only really cost me 2 days of wasted time, but there's more like 3-4 days left on the sword. I just can't seem to shake this 3-4 day offset I've had going on the last 3 months or so... in other news Happy Halloween!...

Sapientes Video. Might make it live this weekend, in the meantime you guys can enjoy. If you like spoopy stuff that is.

Amazingly, confusingly, frustratingly, one of the main things that held up the video yesterday was the list of you guys at the end! Patreon gives you the option to download the Patreon list as a CSV, but they change the format of the CSV EVERY SINGLE TIME. So I have to go through and find the row with the first names and concatenate that with the s...

This months thing is finished, any D&D peoples in the house? Anyone know Aegis Fang? The video will be up tomorrow, was supposed to be up tonight but my computer is being cranky. Also who sent me a copy of the Boondock Saints? I tried searching my mail for Boondock related keywords and couldn't find it. I think someone mentioned the film ...

You would not believe how many attempts it took to get this even. What's the expression, "never work with children they're animals", something like that.

Provided nothing crazy happens, it should be up on Sunday morning, but I can't stay awake any longer I need to go to bed (ETA 6 hours, will be called "Sapientes Build"). Also I have to do additional work on the sword (customer wants some initials engraved on it) so there will be a bonus video too if I get it done tomorrow.
Mike.

I'm editing the latest build video, come pester me with questions LIVE! (you need to be logged into youtube/ google or something).

First and foremost, thanks everyone for the positive feedback yesterday (earlier this morning? Time gets funny for me towards the end of each month). I want to clear up something that may have been confusing;
There WILL be a video this month, as you can see the sword is practically finished, it's just that instead of being out on Thursday l...

So as you know Patreon charges peoples cards on the 1st of every month, and I have this thing set up that I charge you guys per upload, so naturally I always try and get the video in before the 1st.
Well, it looks like I'm going to miss the 1st, there's at least another days work in this months sword, and then I'd have to edit it all togeth...

This was an unlisted video that accidentally got made public a year ago, hence all the comments, but I dunno, it's pretty funny, but doesn't really fit into the general flavor of the channel kinda thing.

Another close shave, but this time it wasn't my fault mostly! I couldn't order the steel until the 5th, and then it arrived a week and a half late, so like 50% of this video is just stuff from this week (I think, tell truth I'm kinda drunk on being tired, I'll figure it out later). Anyway here it is! Also sorry I haven't been answering emails, the ...

This is the finished version of the video you guys had a preview of, you will notice on the finished one the peg holding the belt on is different, and also it has a "test" at the end. Since the last two charity auctions were bought by "Patreons" (I can't get use to that word, I still just call you guys "Patrons" in my day to day speech) I thought I...

This will be this months microbuild/charity auction thing, I still have to film the "test", I was thinking a montage of people trying to pull my pants off, so until I successfully manage to film that here's a version of the video just for you guys!

So I was flossing a couple of weeks ago when a piece of one of my back teeth calved off. Turns out I need a root canal, a crown, the whole lot. Half thinking of posting a picture of it when it's done with a watermark that says "Dental work sponsored by Patreon!".

How do I spend my Friday night you might wonder? Editing it turns out. Here's a little side project I've been working on. Must sleep now. My bed gets me up in 5 hours.

I'll make this public on Tuesday, but in the meantime you guys can enjoy this ad free version. Also, the "how many chicks will the cat tolerate" experiment made it into the "payment info" video in the annotations/vid description.
