[@josephmolion4345]

Damn. When the Terminators really do rise up, I know exactly who I'm blaming. This is absolutely gorgeous work man!

[@matthewsalyersjr4965]

This is completely unbelievable!!! You know most of the stuff probably movie props was all done by CNC or hell maybe even plastic but every single part of this is built by hand you deserve some serious mad props You definitely got some seriously mad respect from me.!! And it looks like a lot more other people!!

[@rctruxbashing7420]

As a metal fabricator I’ve got to hand it to you, this is incredible. Your attention to detail is astounding, you should be really proud of this.

[@jeremiahbullfrog1844]

even just as a welder over here, VERY MUCH AGREE.

[@BroughtToYouByDDean]

As a fellow machinist and fabricator, let me just tip my hat to you good sir. This is absolutely top notch work and im surprised it took me this long to discover your channel. Better late than never I suppose. I can't wait to see this all come together. Truly incredible work man. Kudos to you

[@lukearts2954]

how does this not have more likes and views??? KZbin is holding back a true craftsman and artist! Great work. Thanks for sharing this!

[@m0rvidusm0rvidus18]

Doesn't have a skank or involve makeup. If he made a makeup video with the skull and included a skank it would take off.

[@yoashuain1]

Indeed!

[@Fergo101]

This is a video series that will keep getting views. It will hit 1m

[@michaelraagas6003]

I was just looking for an idea for a cast vinyl build. Never thought that this is an actual metal build. Hands down to this build!!!!!

[@thestingray1983]

that working jaw knocked me off the chair!! and working eyes with focus function, attention to detail is sick! I love it!

[@darrelljacobjr2120]

Variable aperture, not focus. And I think the aperture leaves need to overlap a bit more, to not be as jagged on the inside circumference. First time i've seen someone injection-mold parts at home though.

[@AndysMachines]

Yes, I wasn't completely happy with the iris mechanism, or some other parts of the eye. That's why I built a 2nd version, there's a video on that too.

[@alfredleung3738]

Absolutely and truly amazing! The moment I saw you fabricating the incisors of the T800...I said to myself what the????!!! such detail, you even managed to articulate the upper and lower dentition! You are a MASTER CRAFTSMAN.

[@tobieone4918]

Only one word to say….WOW! Bravo 👏🏼 great job.

[@t.s.9656]

I know less than nothing about metal fabricating, but even I can tell that this is extraordinary work. Bravo!!!

[@russianbarbarian3185]

Dude, this is truly a titanic job. Well done, good luck with your project.

[@richardbuchli4071]

Damn! After a serious motorcycle wreck almost 8 yrs. ago my company brought me back and put me in the machine shop because they thought it would be better on me from the injuries I had. I learned a pretty good bit from guys that I think are excellent machinist, but watching this, I realize I don't know s**t!😁 I did actually learn a few tips on setups I can use from watching this. Excellent video. Welder, fabricator, machinist, man you are true MASTER!👍

[@cvbabc]

AMAZING!!! It's like you snuck into the Skynet Terminator factory and secretly recorded the process! I can't imagine how many hours you put into that. And it's functional too! I would have settled for just a replica with light up eyes. LOL.

[@GlenB2013]

[@ValeriaSantos-ce3eb]

Believe me. I know these tools and machines. I worked in an injection molding plant. Congratulations on the excellent work, very well detailed. Amazing!

[@AJPflooringuk]

Where would you even learn this ?I grew up watching this film over and over again and at 41 years old still do.The T800 was an ever haunting killing machine during my childhood and seeing this masterpiece just hit home again .what an outstanding skill and talented man and the painstaking amount of hours making this is mind blowing.Much respect from the uk.

[@leoadhiwibowo8426]

This is really awesome, I am really excited with the tiniest detail you made for the eyeball parts

[@allanrichards6448]

Out of this world, a remarkable build I was just fascinated all through. How someone could not like this is beyond me.

Incredible piece of art. You showed during the build the eyes and jaw moving around, I think it would have been cool to show the articulating eyes and jaw in the final show.

[@mackie32x48]

AHHHH I cant get my Dremel to spin properly without landing one of those wafer discs in my eye..... You are the MASTER!!!!!
