Bringing Fiction to Life: The Hacksmith's Amazing Gadgets'

James Hobson (aka: The Hacksmith) and his team have been blowing the internet's mind with their incredible creations for the past 8 years. From the electro magnetic Captain America shield to his latest working plasma lightsaber, the Hacksmith has created some of the coolest things out there. We had the honour of visiting James (pre-Covid) and getting to know him and his talented team at Hacksmith Industries. Enjoy our new series! More regular episodes coming up soon as well!

Hope you guys like the new series! Big shout out to James and the whole Hacksmith Industries team for having us. Check out his channel for more awesome builds. @thehacksmith (He updates much more often than I do!) But we have more videos coming soon! Coolest Thing I've Ever Made episodes coming up!

[@austinsomeone]

Perfect people to choose for a "coolest thing profile"! Who's next?

[@CoolestThing]

We have a couple that we filmed, different from James. He will be hard to top. Hoping to get Colin Furze next year (when we can travel again)!

Pretty cool that you got to go see the hacksmith!

[@CoolestThing]

So awesome! Impossible to do one "Coolest Thing" on him, so we chose a profile instead. More regular eps coming soon! Cheers- Guy

[@Liquidcadmus]

this channel is so cool, showcasing the creativity of all these people for everyone to appreciate.

Thank you! More good stuff coming out soon! Cheers- Guy

He "had" good hair. Now he has crazy hair.

[@ennovanbaars330]

please i've been searching for it for years now

[@tomasotreasaigh111]

Recently some Commercial Pilots have reported seeing what looks like a flying humanoid at unheard of heights and speeds... we may have found our culprit, eh?

[@CoolestThing]

Very likely! :)

Background music is also the opening for tango tek

[@nerd_world8919]

Ehh not a big fan of choosing pre-existing youtubers with tons of subs. I enjoyed the smaller and more obscure people

[@AG-Creations]

You are my super hero, dude!

[@themowermaniac7612]

I've been waiting for a upload lol

[@CoolestThing]

More coming soon! It's been tough getting to the channel for the last while, but we're back! More coming soon! Like next 2 weeks.

[@LuisMendoza-pp9qi]

The Hacksmith care more about likes and followers than about making, they call their work space their "set" instead of workshop, great makers like Adam Savage don't even care about view count

[@nazeermohammed7838]

Finally hack smith haircut

[@seangauthier8144]

You could do Richard Browning and gravity industry's next.

[@dr.a431]

Dang this guy should make a youtube channel

[@zach0000]

He already have one

Lol, if only :)

3:59 I was gonna make a joke about diversity but then I remembered they’re engineers

Most of us came from hacksmith’s story

[@CoolestThing]

Thank you! Loved filming with James! Hacksmith fans are awesome!

[@musicvibezz8036]

Awesome 😃🙂 My dream job 🧐

[@CoolestThing]

Ours too!

[@ennovanbaars330]

hello @coolest thing what music do you use in your intro for the backyard rollercoaster video? (and almost all of the other coolest thing videos) please help!

[@CoolestThing]

We license from music banks called "Audio Network" and "Epedemic". Intro for Coolest Thing is Audio Network song called "Moan Moan Moan"

[@Dra69420]

I think that he will brake into the next dimension

[@jasonl3445]

I love it!

[@CoolestThing]

Thanks Jason!

Yep. That’s what I was thinking. Was strange to hear Tango tek’s intro song somewhere else

Cool, now know the story of the hacksmith lmao.

You are insane

[@CoolestThing]

Lol, he's pretty chill, but yes his inventions are insane indeed!

[@JustWOWTrickshots88]

:D

The saddest thing here is that more people know about the hacksmith than this channel...... So they don't really need to be told about him?? That just me? 😂

The coolest thing he made was hacksmith industries. Basically his company.

@@CoolestThing didn't Mark Rober go for the title of "best uncle"

[@CoolestThing]

@@akabami2161 lol! Yes, it would be close. Although I’d say if he let his nephew use the lightsaber, then Hacksmith wins.

What about the real light saber

[@Sleeping_Doggo]

this was filmed way before that you can tell by the length of james his hair
