38 months pog, how are you going i'm still in lockdown and i'm bored really bored so bored i've been get it? Yes, it's a microwave. You know when the lights are up. At the end, all the light turns on right when your meal is ready, guys guys microwave 46 months pogo like okay ways to make mundane activities more. This is the last episode that i explained a joke last time or the challenge indeed i'll.

Never do it again, but so far haven't found anything exciting enough, but then i saw the experts mexicans so today i'm going to make my version of their hammer what the and, even though i'm thoroughly sick of you guys. Now i want to google you guys what is a mexican hammer, what i can't watch this yeah this guy - this is god btos, because they put like, like gun powder guys. Luckily, today's sponsor nordvpn allows me to travel the world wherever i want here are some photos of me on my recent trip to paris and here's me in new york. Key i've been a nord customer for years and love the fact that it's easy to use with a single click allowing me to access over 5200 servers in 60 countries.

That gives me the fastest speed of any vpn out there. It also protects all my internet. That's behind that! That's a hassan! I did probably already know, i'm not the first to copy the mexicans with explosive hammers and an australian company. Ramsett beat me to it.

Making this, which is used to drive nails through brick and metal - and i could just buy one of these, but look at that price - a thousand dollars - i'm definitely better off making my own. So the first thing i did was buy a 2 000 lathe okay. So this is my plan. I've collected all the scrap metal in my house, which i reckon i can combine to make this just a block of metal in two pieces with a swivel point here, then you put the nail inside with a charge behind it and when i hit the nail here It moves back and hopefully sets off the charge, firing the nail out the end, while some of you might recognize some similarities between this and stuff made his baseball bat.

But look if he's allowed to copy my steel toad croc video and make it much better. Then i'm allowed to copy his video. It won't make it much worse and that's my idea, but i don't actually think i have the skills to make this, since this is my first time using a lathe and so far i've only made this that's pretty much. My whole brand making the hammer is similar and unlike this, which is made from round bar and fits in the three jaw chuck, i'm using square bar for the hammer which doesn't fit so either.

I add another jaw on the side or use this for jaw chuck, and this sounds like an easy solution. But when you put material in a four jaw chuck like this, it needs to be centered using one of these and i hate being precise. I always avoid it, but now, thanks to this tool, i have the ability to tell how unprecise i am accurate to 100th of a millimeter. This is dumb, i feel like nothing.

I do makes any sense. I hit this side and now this side has moved in and then i turn this thing and now the whole thing's the wrong way. But after mucking around with it for ages, i seem to have gotten the piece roughly in the middle, so i brought in the tool to do a cut across the face. Oh wow and lathing is a lot of fun and really makes you feel like a man with a big manly tool, mainly because it allows me to finally grow facial hair and that facing cut feels pretty smooth.

And after comparing it to my face. It's much more flat. Okay, now i'm going to drill a hole in the center of the block, and this is the scary part as if it's not centered, all the machinists watching will make fun of me know what this is like: how to basics yeah, but you guys kind of know What he's doing, though, and this sucks, if i can't get the drill bit out, i'm gon na - have to start all over. I tried yanking it out by turning the lathe on, while holding the other part still and even tried, putting it in the freezer with diced mangoes, which always helps me relax and shrink in size.

Oh, i like that nothing worked, but then i had a genius idea. I grinded some flats on the side of the drill bit and use this wrench to attempt to turn it out what guys yeah sometimes go outside and have some fun and you come back and then you're hot. But yes, you don't have ac. So you put your head in the freezer which worked, but i still need to make the hole a little larger and i've decided from now on.

I should definitely use a safer approach and use a domi and some lubricant and i'm pretty sure the lathe isn't meant to be making this noise. So i just put on some ear protection to fix the noise, and that looks pretty good and the blank also fits it's pretty perfect. Okay, the hole is done and seems to be in the center, so i just cut the tip off using the world's most unpleasant tool and then decided. I had had enough of staring at these blanks and wanted to see what actually happens if i just hit one with a hammer, three two one and now without ear protection.

For some reason - and i i don't know why i did that my ears are literally still ringing while recording this, but i still decided. I want to see what happens if i hit it again, but this time with a nail on top. So i put the nail in then place the blank underneath and it's very important. I do this in that order, so i don't accidentally set off the blank and die.

Then i hit it as hard as i could two one and nothing and again this time, a point behind the blank and still nothing. And then i tried placing the blank on flat, metal and also clamping the device, so it doesn't fall onto the ground and then point towards me three, two one. What if he's happening here come on? What have you been doing in this video? This is so dumb. Think it's going to blow up dude! Oh, that is terrifying.

That is terrifying! Ah, i cannot believe that these say they are weak. I am so glad i didn't buy the strong ones, let's check upstairs and see if that did any damage, no shots, and that works too well, which might be my fault, as i spent an hour like a sweatshop worker machining like a hundred nails down until i Had an airtight fit in the hole of the hammer, and i'm really starting to think i should make myself like a kevlar apron or something to protect my innards. If, for some reason, anyone watching has some kevlar, they don't want that they want to send me hit me up. Okay, moving on with the build i need to make headlines, so i decided to just use the store-bought hinge, which will attach to the bottom of some flat.

What's actual kevlar, though it's body armor right, it's bulletproof, it's not very bulletproof, but you know what it you know like this and now it's time for something else. I've never done which is use. This tap and die set to create threads in metal. But first i thought i better read the instructions very very carefully to make sure i don't die compose the material fiberglass, then once it was kind of together.

I realized a potential problem with my design, which was that the round could go guys uh. So i'm getting the bus told me that it was spider webs. When i was a kid i was like nah no shot, but then i was like yeah, but it probably is in my entire life. My talent thought that that blooper vest was spiderwebs, go off when i closed the hinge which it didn't so i set it off with a stick once again, three two one: oh my god, it's too powerful so went straight through guys.

What what if it tilts in front of him and just one tap, so i don't get it! You jump crack, look in there. Let's go check upstairs again what and that works great, but i still decided to swap the hinge out for a more beefy one, which i took from the door of this cabinet, and i, like this thing, it's like i'm, holding a badly rendered pistol. Oh locks that hold the pieces together and at first i was going to go with this kind of artistic wanky lock, but i don't actually think it would hold together. That's for a brother, so i went with this sturdier one then, once i tap and not dyed the rest of the holes, i've essentially got the finished thing, except it looks really ugly and after looking online at other kinds of hammers and other stuff, i found this By adam savage, which i'm gon na take slight inspiration from and after all that grinding, i was curious as to how much metal i had actually lost.

So i measured it and strangely i gained around a centimeter. Then i cleaned up the other pieces using my sick tech, deck skills from my childhood and so far this has actually been pretty easy. But now comes the hard bit where i grind in the more delicate details and risk stuffing up this whole piece which i'm terrified about so i rolled a die to see which piece would be sacrificed first now i'm going to try and create an angled section on The side - and i can do this in two different ways: the first by locking the grinding face at an angle, or i can do my favorite method, which is to lock myself at a 45 degree angle. So i'm consistent with my grind and after combining the two.

I created this so then i just did the same thing on the front to create these cute little triangles, which, despite my fears, actually so then i attempted the scariest part, which is a rounded groove cut into metal. Guys bless me and what's the stream f's, it's twitch guys and i'm at i'm at 260 drop frames today that started at the beginning of the stream, and we've got zero for the internet streaming for f6 twitch like to call fullers. So i tilted the belt at this sharp angle and started, and while doing this, i actually found the best angle for grinding was when i placed my head right here, which allowed me to see right along the face. Thank you man i like.

That means the metal dust gets a good view of my face as well, and after all this grinding, i was starting to create a bit of mess on the floor with all these iron filings. But luckily i had a mate who told me a tip which was to place a bucket of water directly underneath the grinder is actually great, as it keeps me nice and cool while doing this hot work. Okay, the fullers look pretty good, although it is starting to look more like the g word, which i'm too scared to say on youtube, and this definitely isn't a g. It's a hammer, not illegal, and it's just a homemade slightly a dodgy version of something i can buy from stores.

So then i switched to this belt, which i found in the bin of a waxing salon and the tiny hairs stuck to this belt. Give the metal a really nice - i don't know why it actually all looks good except these little overhanging lips. So i gave it a labiaplasty now you're, probably wondering how i'm going to stick a handle on this thing, and so am i. I definitely should have planned how i was going to do that from the start, because now i'm just going to have to go with the easiest worst, which is most likely going to ruin all of this work and i'm going to attempt to weld a piece of Pipe here and then just shove, the handle in like this and after a quick test cutting another piece of pipe and welding that onto another piece of metal and then hitting that as hard as i can against an anvil.

I think it might hold. So i just got a piece real hot squished it in the vice and then closed my eyes and hoped for the best, and i really hope this doesn't stuff up. This has been my longest project so far and took me a crazy 13 minutes and 59 seconds to get here and i had to sit through a nord sponsor and two unskippable adds. So this better work and after filling the piece up with about an inch of lava, the weld actually looks alright and the piece hasn't deformed.

So then i cleaned off the black stuff until it was shiny again and then did some research trying to decide on the finish for this metal and what i do is stone, washing where you etch the metal in acid. Then people on the internet will get that metal and put it in a rock tumbler to get this nice looking surface which protects the metal from rust and looks rustic and i don't have a tumbler, so i figured out another easy way to make your own all. You do, is you get your metal put it in your pocket with some stones from the garden and then put it in the washing machine for about an hour which gives you this, and i decided i don't actually like this very much. So i'm sticking with the shiny finish, but i'm also going to copy what every that moves to australia does and cover pointless parts of it in gold.

In an attempt to make myself look more serious, then i grabbed some oil and rubbed it all over the wood before using some quick set epoxy and a bolt to lock the handle in place now the instructions of the epoxy, don't say you have to panic, but I find i get better results if i use the wrong size bolt quickly, which i then have to cut down and then burn myself on his nails. Are i'm trying before the epoxy sets ruining my whole project, meaning i'm not going to be able to upload a video in time and i'm going to become irrelevant and not be able to upload on youtube ever and it worked. Then i took it back to the beautiful hairy belt to smooth it out, and i do like these hairy belts a lot, but just like the thai place down the road, i find i get much better results when finishing by hand guys i forgot what the whole Contraption does oh yeah load the nail in open it up, put the blank down, hold it down and smack one last vice test, just to make sure it all still works nice. I don't know why.

I didn't place a piece of wood there or something let's go upstairs: what because no shots? Oh um, okay, and i'm very very happy with that. This thing is powerful and beautiful. Definitely the coolest thing i've ever made, but i just realized that the vice was definitely adding heaps of support on the side and on the bottom of the hammer. So before i swing it by hand, i decided to put it on this rig, which perfectly recreates how my arm works, no shots which didn't work and again then i figured out what was happening.

My hammer was working in the vise, but not for the reasons i intended. I thought the nail was moving back and pushing the blank setting it off, but that wasn't actually happening because i was scared and crouching down to make sure i didn't die. I was actually hitting the top of the hammer, not the nail, which meant i was squishing, these two pieces of metal together, setting off the blank, so i switched to a shorter nail so that the end of the hammer would actually hit the table. And yes, yes, whoa all right, let's hammer some stuff, everyone shouldn't be able to like uh uh.

This frypan smash through that easily that's a blanket, but it is pretty thin metal. So, let's move on to some thicker metal like this um, a barbecue plate which is a centimeter and a half, wait, that's a weak blank punched, a clean hole! You can see the punch marks for the way that it kind of in the metal back. That is insane and after that success i think i'm going to take it off the rig and have a go at hitting it myself and i'm honestly so surprised this thing hasn't blown apart yet and even my dodgy weld seems to somehow be holding up. So i stacked up some stuff in front of me and decided to hit um this book.

Oh, oh, my god, i'm terrified! It's a way to make three two one. Three two one that was actually fine to hold don't go all the way through the table went through the book through the table through this surfboard. I have here and is sticking out that is insane. I'm gon na stop playing with this thing.

Thank you. So much for watching, if you like that, please subscribe and check out some of my other stuff. What about now chad? He puts a a strong blank, a strong blank and a long ass like a blade or some bang. You know like, like an actual nail.

You know like a juicer this guy video though i enjoyed it. That's nice tonight give me.
