[@StudsonStudio]

This is my favorite bot of all your builds. Very helpful friend for you, but probably a devastating final boss on the junk planet.

[@BillMakingStuff]

Well now that you mention it... I have a helping hands bot now... so you can go back home. Thanks. Bye.

[@StudsonStudio]

@@BillMakingStuff You've got it all mixed up. The bot replaces you and passes the glasses of warm milk down to me under the desk.

[@BillMakingStuff]

@@StudsonStudio ha!

[@JCPRuckus]

I am so uncomfortable with the amount of insight we all now have into you two's relationship... Lol

[@TheCrafsMan]

Uncle Bill, your work is on a whole different level. Texture, color choice and (the best part) the incorporation of cheap items one may never consider for such a project. From one Star Trek fan to another, I hope you never get burnt out doing this, because I am eating it up. And I know I'm not the only one.

[@BillMakingStuff]

Thanks alot mate! From you that is the highest praise I can get on the yoootoobs.

Crafsman, whatchoo doin? You sound like my brand new friend Bill, right here. That comment don’t sound like you at all, but seein’s how you introduced me to Bill, it must be you are tryin’ to sound posh, like him. You be you Crafsman. Don’t forget to wear your ducksmask. We loves ya’ll, and keep on….. ….. ….. Steady ctraftin’ 💕

[@Orynae]

"I'm gonna be honest, just before I shot this I sat on it" Yes this is why this channel is so relatable XD

This is a comment to show engagement, in the absence of anything witty or meaningful to contribute

[@BillMakingStuff]

[@DungeonMasterpiece]

That montage of the robot holding stuff took you at least 30 minutes to shoot for .05 sec of footage. And it was worth it. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@BillMakingStuff]

Why do I do it to myself?

[@DungeonMasterpiece]

@@BillMakingStuff because you are a passionate madman who can't be stopped.

[@chriswolfe403]

the Star Wars Borg can fight Crafsman's little teddy bears from Star Trek

[@BillMakingStuff]

They're fucked

[@dermmerd2644]

I like Star Wars' Borg too. My favorite Jedi Borg is Gandalf.

[@randomcactus5615]

That is a very athletically pleasing robot you made there

[@BillMakingStuff]

I know... hard to say

[@serpentartist1348]

The sound effects on these videos are so perfect, they really make it

[@ScatteredTerrain]

I greatly enjoy the irony that the most useful part of the robot was always getting in the way! Another marvelous episode!

[@BillMakingStuff]

Thank you!

[@paulaneary7877]

Like it? NO. I LOVE IT! One of my personal favorites of yours.

[@SnoddiesHobbies]

Bill, I was going to make a comment about how we all need a little help from our friends; but when we don't have friends we have to make friends. Some of us take that statement more literally than others. Anyhow, KZbin comments can be a little passive-aggressive sometimes and I wouldn't want to contribute to that. :) In all seriousness your videos always bring a smile to my face and brighten my day. Please keep up the good work and I love the idea of building a little hobby helper.

[@BillMakingStuff]

Thank you mate, glad you like it

[@serenasunset6243]

I love your build but I think the biggest thing I watch for is your editing. It gives me early Nickelodeon mixed with pee-wee’s playhouse. It makes me so happy watching through your videos and getting the same feeling they gave me. Thank you!

[@Brummschuh]

With this build particularly I absolutely love how deranged it looks pre-priming. The white and blue and pink, the rhinestones and the green wire really speak to me.

[@mongoose2080]

Future episode idea: just Bill telling us about an amazing build he didn't film.

[@BillMakingStuff]

I would.

[@RM-vw3ov]

Your music is a delight Bill. Full of quirky foley work and pithy rhythms that somehow blend together seamlessly and melodiously! Nice handsy robot!

[@BillMakingStuff]

well thanks!

[@trikepilot101]

Good fun to be had here. Algorythm engagement achieved.

[@BillMakingStuff]

ALGORITHM BEEP BEEP

[@madonnadove]

I love it! Watching you is like a day with grandmother in the 70’s. Back then we used pill bottles, TV guides, medicine cups, beads, paper clips and cigarette packages. We made a lot with very little and it was always fun!

[@BillMakingStuff]

Never been told a day with me is like a day with their grandmother....

[@madonnadove]

@@BillMakingStuff LOL LOL 😂 and yet, it’s true! She could always make something fun, out of seemingly nothing.

[@werebear76]

Nice to see you get a sponsor. You deserve it for all you awsome unique builds. They just keep getting better and better.

[@BillMakingStuff]

Thanks!

[@garybuettner7920]

That priming moment… like magic. Ta-da!

[@richardayre5823]

Extra like for the number of Dad comments - fun build, enjoyed a lot

[@BillMakingStuff]

Thanks dad

[@tamsynmcnally8280]

Wow this build is super cute

[@BillMakingStuff]

Thanks

[@sonoftarg3793]

I like the spinning bot shot at the beginning, it gets me a bit dizzy, but it's fun, especially when played in double playback speed.

[@BillMakingStuff]

You better not be watching this in double playback...

[@tc9694]

Cannot stress enough how much I love that intro music

[@LoLCalmSnow]

That green backglow looked fantastic

[@ThePilgrums]

I like the Borg in Star Wars but the Daleks from Flash Gordon are cooler

[@carrie4910]

Great episode Bill! I loved it! That foam texturing trick 😍 If it wasn’t so late and I wasn’t already curled up in bed I’d be in my craft room trying ALL the textures 😂 But….it’s cold….and you know…comfy….BUT tomorrow the foam is gonna get it!

[@BillMakingStuff]

Glad you liked it

[@nixyndixy9431]

don't forget Bill's smooth voice Can't begin to remember the amount of times I fell asleep listening to him narrate these

[@FrankAUnger-bz8fo]

You can just pop the arms out of there sockets. And pop them back later. But this information is worth as much as sand in a desert now when it's done. Great work!

[@twitchyeyess]

I loved the catchy one-liner at the beginning! Really made my day!

[@ConjuredCraft]

Time to build useful things for my shop!

[@BillMakingStuff]

Go for it!

[@cherrygoblin6697]

I love this! I really like how the light glows through all the wires around the eye too

[@BillMakingStuff]

Glad you noticed

[@cordak_Blaster]

actually my favorite of your creations

[@KnarbMakes]

I think you can pop out any of the connections on the arms if they keep getting in the way. I realize I'm posting this halfway through the video and you likely are finished the build already, but just in case you have any time travel tech, maybe that will help. Cool!

[@BillMakingStuff]

Yeah time doesn't work like that...

[@oldschoolfrp2326]

Give that man a hand for a job well done. Love the glowing eyes

[@BillMakingStuff]

Thanks 👍

[@iamgrays]

I like it! A big robot with annoying arms to hold smaller robots during assembly. Genius.

[@BillMakingStuff]

Exactly

[@ThedGrill]

I woke up yesterday night 3am and couldnt sleep. And KZbin decided to show me your channel. I am now in love with a new methode of upcycling. This is the best channel I could have found at 3am.

"ROBOT ANUS" - sounds like a sequel to 'The Greasy Strangler'.

[@MechanicalFiend]

Functional projects are always my favorite, so this was super cool to see! Some of those new techniques this time around were awesome, might have to try the foam texturing in the future, seems like it could be really versatile. Hope we'll see this guy holding things in some future videos!

[@BillMakingStuff]

Thank you. Yeah was thinking of including him in future vids ... but that would require another camera angle.

[@pizzalord3n]

Yay another episode!

[@amidark6518]

Amazing work!

[@BillMakingStuff]

Glad you think so!

[@kelfae]

What I DID stick in those tiny little pots are cut pallions of solder in different grades. Super useful! But then I'm a silversmith, and need twenty different kinds of everything. :D

[@BillMakingStuff]

You can't eat Pallions I assume...

[@kelfae]

@@BillMakingStuff indeed. Well you could try, but it would make even less of a meal than three peas. Or a bean.

[@Zaqinabox]

The arms are made of a similar stuff to doll boning. I'm sure you could make a tool to seperate them.

[@ScientificallyStupid]

Kinda wonder how other crafting tools/ devices could be incorporated into the BMS Robot Crafting line...glue gun cannon? Not sure really. Great video though!

[@BillMakingStuff]

its pretty hard because tools are usually well built.

[@muttrogers6586]

YEEESSSS! No maker space is complete without a personified tool! Fantastic work, Bill!

[@looselycollected7505]

Ok, I suppose I need to build something like this now. The helping hands part is something I could always use and the idea that it's sort of a robot/critter/buddy sitting on my workbench just joyfully waiting to help out makes it even better.
