Building the Toy You Wish You Had When You Were a Kid

Not sure if KZbin needs any more "makers," but now it has another one!
This is my first attempt at being a "creator" of "content". Whether or not people like it, I'll be happy knowing that I gave it a try and I won't have any regrets later wondering if I could have made something great. Enjoy!

Wife of the creator here: I can attest that he both spent way too much time on this and that the kids love it! So overall a win?

Not sure how I got suggested this video, but glad to get in on the ground floor. Excellent box you have created.

[@CasadeLindquist]

Thanks!

This is really cool! Id never think of such a whimsical design.

[@CasadeLindquist]

There were definitely some days where I wished it was a little less whimsical and a lot less work, haha. Thanks for being my first commenter! If I keep making videos and this channel actually goes somewhere I'll be sure to send you a free T-shirt in 5 years. 🙂

Pure chance this ended up in my recommended, but i'm glad it did. It's a super cool design and looks like your kids loved it. You should definitely keep creating content because you nailed it, I wasn't sure you were going to be a serious content creator until I saw those 'motion graphics' but hot damn that's some quality CGI. If you keep posting things, I'll keep watching it so keep up the good work.

[@CasadeLindquist]

The motion graphics are what separate the men from the boys. 🤣 I really appreciate the feedback, thanks!
