 Ladies and gentlemen, oh wow, I'm rolling backwards, that's okay. We are here at the one and only Hacksmith Industries, makers of the mini scale cyber truck and many other crazy freaking things and this studio tour is gonna be something you are not going to believe. We are here upgrading their servers and quite frankly, I felt low tech walking around inside here. This video is brought to you guys by Smart Deploy. Smart Deploy makes it easy to handle daily IT tasks like Windows imaging, patching, updating apps and migrating user data. You can do it over your existing network or the cloud without even leaving your desk. You can get your exclusive free offer at smartdeploy.com slash Linus. So far their tech infrastructure is actually not bad. Alex here has equipped their editing stations with 6-core processors, GTX 1080 or better graphics cards. What they don't have is a high speed NAS. We were here hooking them up with this 45 drive Stornado which has a whopping 20 plus terabytes of solid state 10 gigabit per second storage and we've got some other treats in store for them. Right now, server room, looking a little sad. The work server is a thread ripper equipped rendering server that also access their main video editing NAS right now with a single 2 terabyte NVMe drive in it. That's why we're replacing it. And then they've got the dungeon. That's what they call their equivalent of the vault which is just full of hard drives for them to archive old projects. So we've brought them another 70 terabytes of storage to upgrade this puppy. What's great about Unraid is that you can just pop in more drives and boom you've got more capacity. So we're throwing some Iron Wolfs in there from Seagate which are NAS optimized drives. And of course you can find out more about those at the link in the video description. And here he is, the one and only James Hobson sucking up so hard right now. I'm already here. I'm already hooking you guys up. So this is your office. You know what? I like it. I like it. You got the silver play button. You got the gold play button. You got the other more different silver play button. This is absolutely incredible. Nobody ever wrote about me in the paper. Is that in like Russian or something? The Cybertruck font apparently. That's a nice rig. So not your typical gaming rig. But I'm surprised you guys even brought me out here because this is pretty well configured. So James here, aka the Hacksmith, is the kind of person who can actually utilize a Quadro graphics card to the fullest extent. So why don't you give the brief 20 second version of what your channel is all about for my viewers. We like to use engineering as a way to inspire kids and adults into engineering and STEM fields. And the way we do that with our maintenance series called Make It Real, where we take fictional ideas from comics, movies, and video games, and we try and make real working prototypes. So what we found is a lot of stuff you see in the movies is possible. It's just not commercially viable. And luckily we found this kind of cool niche on YouTube where we can justify spending tens of thousands of dollars building a half scale Cybertruck. I want to show you the best part of my office. Sure. You want to just... David and I seem to have switched places. Hey, see you David. I've got to say your IT infrastructure is sort of reminiscent of your projects. It's like good stuff like this 10 gigabit Asus Switch with a random heat sink glued to the top of it. I feel like you're my soulmate. Wow, this is great. You almost look cool in that one. I know, right? This is my favorite though. Don't I look like a Gimli? But in a good way. As much as I can respect socks and sandals look, if you're walking outside of any of these yellow lines, you need safety shoes. So we just so happen to have Loner green toe caps. I bet they're really comfortable sandals too. I'm well ventilated right now, sir. May I ask what the purpose of a loaded mousetrap on a coffee table would be? Like, why is that there? I guess is it just like to weed out the stupids? Pretty much. Does it reverse? Where's the backup camera? I got this. No, no, it's fine. It's fine. I got this. How fast does it go? Where's the door lock? It's even got a folding tailgate. So just fold that, open this up, open that up. Struggle a little bit to get this really heavy piece out. Oh, wow. Okay, so then if I've got my little ATV. Oh my God, you have an ATV. I'm surprised this isn't souped up. It is. Oh, it is. And the best part? It's gas. I have to confess, I don't understand the economics of this channel. I've been told that I'm allowed to throw a steel ball at the window and I cannot break it. As hard as you want. Oh, I missed the window. I'm taking a run at it. I want that extra seven kilometers an hour. Yes, I marked it. Linus, are you the strongest person in the whole world? According to my daughter, yes. She was helping my wife pick a password at some point and she goes, make it daddy is big. And I'm like. The power fist. Oh, okay, so I get to hit the side panel. That's what he did. Give it a nice whack. Okay. You're assuming I know how to swing a sledgehammer. This cost more than a base model. Real Cybertruck. All right, I do want to give it a little more. I think I dented it. I couldn't help noticing you guys have a ping pong table. Or should I say table tennis? Oh, let me guess. You have a non-bitch here paddle that is just your paddle. No, no, these are the good ones. Confession. I am not actually good at table tennis. Fortunately, neither is he. We both play like white people. This is called the super ride S 1000. What do I get if I ride it perfectly the first time? 100 bucks. You have to make it to the machine shop within the yellow lines. Within the yellow lines only. Yeah, probably. Okay. What kind of speed do you need to not fall over? About 35. All right. You make the turn. Oh, no. Come on. There it is. The path gets skinnier. Oh, God. No, it's fine. Oh, no. All right, let's do the rest of the tour on this thing. I have to know what this is. You're a big aliens fan? No. So aliens too. Yeah. Over 40 years ago. Oh, my God. The skid right here weighs like 2000 pounds already. Wow. What is it made of? This is something called the power loader. This is like a yellow walking forklift mech. So we're the first people to actually design and engineer the entire thing to actually work like it does in the movie. Wow. When it's done, the arms will be able to curl 5000 pounds each. Is that why this car is here? No. Because this is a pretty nice looking car to do that to. This is our James Bond spy car that we're working on. So it's got a flamethrower exhaust, oil slick dispenser, license plate changer. Is this street legal? I mean, the insurance company doesn't know about the mods. So yes. Yes. Yes. We're planning on putting two jet engines in the trunk. Got a taser door handle. OK, that sounds pretty nasty. It's about 20,000 volts. So the funny thing is we actually had a meet up and we had like 50 children show up. And then they started like seeing who could hold it the longest. Some kids held it for like 15 seconds. Just like, God, the entire time. Do it. 15 seconds the kids did. Ah, damn it. I'd say that's about horse fence. Now I'm going to touch it. No, I'm not. Is this challenge number two? OK, well, you left the tall one for me. That's not. Of course. OK, I got this. No problem. OK, so this has brakes. That's nice. Well, I have to wear these Hulk feet. That's stupid. Oh, God. Oh, God. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Got to keep pedaling though, right? Ah. What's in here? OK, turbine fuel with oil, five percent lighter fluid expanding foam sealant. Oh, that's a lot of sparklers. More fireworks. Hi. Oh, my God. It's arcing between 1650s. Why? Boom, boom. Hey, just actually sometimes it shocks you when you wear it. So I don't know if I actually want to do this. I want to do it. Hey, I touched the door handle. Don't be a bum. The sneaky thing is 1650s, right? Yeah. One of them is not. This one is a cardboard tube with a metal ball inside. Right. Homemade gravity switch. Yeah. Hi, I'm the human torch. Wait, wrong franchise. Why don't you tell me about this storage container you've got here? Yes, this is called the grindy box. Because you like. After hours. Yeah, yeah. What's that? This is the party zone. These are RGB, right? Oh, yeah. To try and keep the metal dust down from the rest of the facility. So you can close it off. And then this is after one day. Wow. That is something else. You won ping pong, but can you win shooting hoops? OK, 21. I won't make it that far to be perfectly honest with you. Oh, boy. Oh, Linus got game. Uh-oh. He plays basketball like a white guy, too. This is embarrassing. I have never sunk five baskets in a row in my life. My wife's going to watch this. She's going to be like. We'll see if I can do six. This is our giant steel table. So just so if you need to do something on a table and you don't want to damage it. Yeah. Yeah, I have a table like that. It's your kitchen table. Oh, yeah. Got some stuff to put in the bendy matron. And the slicey matron. Slicing matron. Wow. Is that a water jet? Plasma cutter. Plasma cutter? What? Oh, hi. Cut through inch and a half steel plate. Not that we've ever tried that. Can you catch some sparks? Catch some sparks? Yeah. Sure. We need those for later. Am I being told? Why is it off-centered? Oh, so this is just ruined then. I guess so. That's freaking awesome. How do you guys make any money? I'm going to let you pick the next one. What are we doing? Rope Climb. Gym class. All over again. I'm wearing steel-toed things, and I'm pretty sure those are not. Well, I'm not going to use my feet, so. Really? Hold on. Hold on. David, you didn't get my flex. Three, two, one, start. That's very fast. Oh, wow. You want to come down all the way too. Well, whatever. I stopped it when you got to the top. You're under five seconds, though. Three, two, one, go. Oh, no. No, no. He's not going to make it. He's not going to make it. Three. Touch. All right. That was pretty good. 29.6. I was on a flight yesterday. I was doing curls on the flight. Okay. Let's play can Linus guess what everything is. So we've got our mill. No. We actually have one of these, but we've never used it. Really? Yeah, because the shop's not done yet. The thing I love about sandblasting is it just makes everything so nice and even. I mean, when you do it good, I didn't, but yeah, if you guys did it. I love your drill bits, by the way. Got giant compensatory drill bits. Those aren't even the big ones. Got giant overcompensatory drill bits. I am definitely getting some screw envy. So you guys grind and screw for days. Washer? Well, yeah, afterwards. Tormach CNC machine. Cool. So we've been working with Tormach for four years this summer. So they gave us this machine and then this is a CNC lathe. And we're in the process of getting a fourth axis 1100. So that means you could machine a ball if you wanted to. And an automatic tool changer. Was it intentional that you guys put your HQ right next to a hardware supply store? No, it was just convenient. Oh, okay. And the cool thing is, oh my God, that's actually the Rona. Like the inside. So yeah, to deter us from coming in, they put a stock wall there. I mean, was it a problem before they put the stock wall there? Not that I know of. What's your next challenge? You might say I'm throwing down the gauntlet. Swinging rings. What? That's just the same thing again, but horizontal. Well, this is no fun. I didn't even practice basketball. I still beat him. Crap. Do you need help? That's cheating. Yeah. Where'd the other ones go? Oh, they're gone. Ah, if he's winded, I'm clearly in trouble. There you go. It's just a fluid movement. Because you run and you lift. It's just a fluid movement, he says. Yeah. You use the momentum for your run. Okay. Basic physics. Ah! Yeah! Ah! Nice! Ah! I'm stuck. I don't need the steel toes in the lunchroom, do I? Nope. Even your lunchroom is probably dangerous. I see you have a ranch dressing problem. Holy s***. What the f***? So Facebook marketing got me and I was convinced to try some Revive Superfoods that's like a ready to go smoothie. And then they shipped me a second order and I realized it was a membership that I signed up for. So now we have two full month supplies of Revive Superfoods. This is making me a little uncomfortable. There are a lot of mannequins in this building. Like do you have a fetish? Well, you see, all you have to do is you go to the stores that close down. Those are firm. Literally every department store that's gone out of business, we've gone and bought mannequins from them. They make great test dummies. Yeah, and other things. Hey Linus, time for our crowning achievement as a business. Welcome to the Hacksmith gym. That's cheating. You have this to climb the rope with. Okay, but this is not our crowning achievement. Come behind the divider wall. Oh God, is this like a casting couch situation? Even better. Head this way. Oh! Um, okay. Is this like a jet massage thing? Wow, that is amazing. My ass feels glorious right now. Oh, oh too low. Oh. Uh, here's our treadmill that shocks you as you run. It shocks you as you run. Is that your design or is that by the fact? Ian skimped out and bought it for a hundred bucks off Kijiji. So it's just bad. Yeah. So, you know, we spend lots of money on projects. This is an excellent example. We spent about $30,000 into a project that we haven't even made a single video on. Wait, this is a propeller. Wait, that's the other half of a propeller. Did you grow up watching Inspector Gadget? Cause I did. Guess how much thrust it produces. 280 kilograms of thrust. I could literally pick someone up with that much power. What is this? Why is this here? People like you, Linus. So that's our forklift door. It's also the door we use to lead out employees that we've terminated. Oh, I see. Here's the off-site backup NAS. So this is the fireproof waterproof NAS that we hook these guys up with so that they can do nightly backups in the event of a fire, which seems pretty likely around here. And then this is Alex's office. Yeah, this is the IT office. So he told me that he wired his system up with 10 gig. I asked him why he needs that. And he said, because I'm the IT guy. It's a nice thing to do. This is fun. Shout out to my peeps over at Unraid. They're using a single gaming rig to run two VR gaming setups using virtualization. What's in here? Wow. It just worked. Yeah, I knew you were coming. So this is basically like what I had when I was six, except you're a grown ass man. Are you pretending like you don't have a costume rack? And we have a Hacksmith merch store. Hey! I assumed you had a virtual prop store. Some of this, some of these. You want some of my merch too? Because I've got shirts. What am I missing? Oh, a hat. Here we go. I can take some of these too. I got some underwear. You guys will just put your name on anything. Oh yeah. Something to take home to the wife. That's a good picture of you. It is a pretty good picture. I assumed it was a plastic prop, but that's actually made of metal. Oh God. Oh, I hit a thing. So Captain America's shield can or cannot stop it? Cannot. That's a plastic shield. So I can lift the Thanos sword, but can I lift the electromagnetic Thor's hammer? Ah, ah, yes. Thanos sword and Thor's hammer. Oh God, I can barely lift it. Is that a rail gun paintball shooter? Yeah. But I'm assuming you shoot like steel balls with it. This goes on the bottom to make it a bit safer. Cause it's Bodie Mcgunn face. Guess who sponsored it? Uh. Linus, what is this? A boat. World warships. But wait, you guys have two gold play buttons. Yeah. So as it turns out, if you get one, you can order a second from the YouTube player academy award place. Oh, so these are just both gold play buttons for the same channel. Yeah. Because I also have multiple gold play buttons, but like I did it the real way. Yeah. You, yeah, you better work. And that was our final YouTuber challenge. I won. So hard feelings though. Like you said, you've only been doing this for, you know, half as long as I have. So there's no shame in coming second. This was so much fun. It was great to meet you. These guys have an amazing channel. Guys go check them out. It's the Hacksmith on YouTube. Thanks again so much for having us. It was really nice to meet you. And guys, this video is brought to you by, this plate is art. You stick up on your wall. We've got over 35,000 artists from 86 countries that have contributed over 800,000 unique designs. They plant a tree for every disc plate sold. They've already planted over 11 million trees. And of course, the best thing about this plate is the magnetic mounting system. That means you decrease the risk of damaging your walls. It makes it super easy to adjust them if someone bumps them and they're crooked. And you can switch between your displays as quickly as like five seconds, pretty much. They offer a 100 day return policy for a 100% refund. They've got matte and gloss finishes and sizes and frames for your every artwork desire. They've even got the LTT collection. Use code LTT to save 15% at the link below. Thanks again for watching guys. If you enjoyed this video, you might like our other studio tours, like the one we did with MKBHD or iJustine. We're going to have those ones linked down below. That is a lot of cinder blocks. Is that just so you can like destroy them? Oh my God. There's like four more pallets back there. Linus, over here. That's not Ronas. So the previous company that was here is something called Light Built Concrete and they manufactured these. And they literally disappeared one night. If they are worth what they were originally worth when they sold them, that's half a million dollars worth of concrete.
