If nobody buys Xyla Phoney you need to have her do all your outros from now on. Alternatively I might swoop in and outbid whoever is about to win the auction, then I can give her back to you so she can do more outros. It's a win win imo

[@rdpeake]

more reasons for xyla to have fun being her self is a win win for everyone!

[@sir_vix]

I think we all know that Xyla Phoney should be a rocket.

[@slysparkane808]

You should Launch and Land Xyla Phoney.. that would be epic!!

What a disgraceful thing to say to good young lady. Get over yourself and find a new place to vent your childish anger. I say this with love and respect.

I hope that everything sells for top dollar so that you can have the funds to make your future projects a reality. It is so frustrating to know how to do something technical and cool, have just about everything planned out, but not have the funding to do it. I've been there all too often. Rooting for you Xyla!

[@finnaginfrost6297]

Xyla! I totally trust that you have the channel's and audience's best interests at heart, even if getting to those interests is awkward. Looking forward to the project!

[@SamBrownBaudot]

You sound like you feel really uncomfortable about this, but this seems like the most natural thing in the world. And the folks who like collecting stuff get to have a piece of the history. Hope you come around to being proud of getting your stuff out to people who'll treasure it.

[@xylafoxlin]

I just don’t want to sound like I’m begging for more than all of y’all have already given me 😅

[@quixototalis]

@@xylafoxlin The more things you sell us, the more cool videos you make. It is win-win. EDIT: Oh and we get cool stuff. win-win-win

[@kerryholgado]

Xyla, you seem like a really likeable person, the more and more I watch your videos and get to know you. Like, anyone that doesn't like you are just haters. Rock on Xyla, keep on keepin' on!...🤙🏼

[@janis8726]

I think LTT did it best in youtube, just incorporate your e-store as sponsor in videos :)

[@Sam_on_YouTube]

@@janis8726 They also just go totally shameless with it, turning it into a joke. That works well.

[@Arikayx13]

I follow so many different creators that make some amazing stuff that’s kinda one-off or ‘I made this! and now it goes into a storage unit somewhere’ and I’ve had the idea for awhile of some sort of exploratorium like space that adopts these projects to allow people to see and/or play with them first hand.

[@revimfadli4666]

Yea MakerTuber Museum sounds like a great idea, especially to foster interest in STEM

[@firstname405]

@@revimfadli4666 MakerTube Museum sounds fantastic!

[@1969ashley1969]

Hi Xyla, please don't appologise for being yourself, this video made me smile. Keep up the great work on your videos. Thank you.

[@theonlyanatoly7518]

Putting yourself out there on a channel is hard just as is, but trying to openly sell your projects must be beyond nerve-wracking. There seems to always be someone out there looking for an excuse to bring someone else down. Kudos for being honest about how hard the job is and how uncomfortable you feel about doing this. As a fan, I'm very excited to see what you have planned for us next!

[@veeppl]

No need to worry this much, we're here for you no matter what!

[@johnnylingo4686]

Never be afraid of charging for your work. You put the time and effort into these projects you have the right to charge for these excellent items.

[@morrielewin1554]

Love seeing an unpolished Xyla; just as real as the polished Xyla! Good luck on the merch and eBay fronts and looking forward to the unveiling of the secret project. Stay real!

[@TheShonz]

Honestly being as candid and transparent about your needs is fantastic and endearing. You are a strong and dedicated individual that obviously takes pride in offering educational material, never feel weird about following your dreams and promoting your wholesome content. Great job all around and be extremely proud you are great!

[@1akmason]

I love the coffee cup “sawdust and glitter i’m buying one, I’m an engineer I worked in the steel industry maintenance for quite a few years until my health and eyesight failed, every factory I’ve worked in it wasn’t easy at first being a woman I had to work twice as hard as the guys did forbany kind of respect. I love what you’re doing and hope the best for you in everything you do.

[@richardreynolds1826]

You have nothing to worry about. You are a very smart and pretty and you are a joy to watch grow. I will support when I can.

[@thalstantrailwalker2393]

Xyla, you are an amazing educator, but no matter what, we can't always keep everything we want. Letting them go to people who would appreciate them is a great way to fund your next project. I look forward to your next video and ultimately, the big project you just teased. I can't wait to see it as I know that whatever it is, success or failure, you will give a great video on it. Keep on plugging, you're doing great!

[@Mengmoshu]

This is the much better option compared to trashing the stuff or a yard sale. You put the work in, and I like the idea of getting one last bit of tangible reward from it on top of direct channel revenue (which I know is often smaller than the audience thinks).

[@andreimordovskoi9192]

When I was watching Derek's video and it came to the part where you were showing off the final model I remember thinking that if you were to ever sell your scientific artwork I'd definitely like to be there for that auction. Put in a bid on the downwind faster than the wind vehicle. We shall see, there's probably going to be a war over it now that this video is getting traffic. Either way - great work.

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

There was a war over whether or not the thing could function. It'll be interesting to see the war over owning it.

[@andreimordovskoi9192]

[@UpLateGeek]

Dude, signed stuff is worth more, so you should've signed the kayak, but behind the top opening part (whatever it's called) so it's like a tramp stamp!

[@DrewNorthup]

In her defense, the only good way to "sign" a boat is too heat stamp it…which can't really be done once the fiberglass has set. Permanent markers really aren't that permanent on the outside of fiberglass either. (And before you say it, technically the "inside"of the cockpit is "outside" of the fiberglass.)

[@UpLateGeek]

@@DrewNorthup Fair point, it probably would take a bit of work to make it permanent, so not really worthwhile.

[@xxxdiresaintxxx]

Good luck on the auction! I really hope everything goes to plan.

[@Turnkey_BM]

In another time that gown would be mine. I really hope you raise the money you need. Looking forward to what's coming up next!

[@outsidestuff5283]

Really wish I lived in the US so I could buy the party kayak! The amount of shenanigans I could get up to in that boat 😅

I hope you do well with your sales. I look forward to your next project. 🤗

[@MrWillo58]

How could anybody hate you? You're funny, smart, cute and well spoken!

[@andy-in-indy]

The video is awkward because you think you have to ask people to buy the things. Instead, think of your video as just a way to tell people what is out there to buy. It is not on you to make us buy something! It is up to you to make interesting things in interesting ways. That part is done, and you have shared the story. Relax, you have already got this!

[@CrudeButEfficient]

It might be a little weird, but it's definitely the best way to sell your body! 😁 16 oz is the correct size for hot beverages, well done! And that scoop is obviously for bulk confectionery!

[@DrewMarold]

My professional motto has long been "I don't let not knowing what I'm doing get in the way of getting the job done.", so don't worry about it if you're unsure. Just run with what you know & you'll figure out the rest along the way. I can't wait to see what you come up with next.

[@MarcoBrieden]

Hey Xyla! Don't hesitate to put out more videos, no matter what the subject is. If you're exited about it we'd love to see a video about it!

[@alixvolte]

This video was really funny ^^ Looking forward to the upcoming project! Wishing you good luck

[@davidkisel9870]

Never be concerned about selling your stuff. I’m a mechanical and software engineer. I really enjoyed your veritasium video when wheel feel off on the treadmill; that’s prototyping for you. You never give up thats most important. Case Western Reserve is a great school. I’ve worked with another Case Western Grad and he answered a question I asked without hesitation with a bachelor degree that no one else could answer. Keep up the good work!

[@mennoduk]

I'm soo excited for the new project! And I be hope the price will go up a lot on these itemes.

[@ToppyTree]

Good luck with your big project 🙂

[@TheChemicalOli]

Hi Xyla, I really enjoy your videos. And btw since I am a homebrewer, too, I can tell you, ur "spoon" is perfect for malt,

[@timtimtimmay4654]

You should make kits for the downwind faster than the wind vehicle. It could be a decent recurring merch that would be affordable to the most people interested in the project.

[@TheChronicExplorer]

So cool! Im obsessed with the kayak! Now I have to go back and watch the video about you making it!

[@VGInterviews]

"I don't know how to handle myself if I'm not making" I identify hard with this sentiment

[@shawncarlile2610]

Hi Xyla, love your videos. I totally understand feeling awkward trying to sell stuff you made by hand. You did great regardless, and you look super cute when you get flustered. 😉

[@wngimageanddesign9546]

LOL! We tune in 'cause we simply love ya the way you are.

[@panoev8641]

That was amazing 😂. At least , you are honest when you talk about the purpose of these things.

[@vlogginggamingandcoding]

Of course you should tell people that you have your projects for sale. Gets you a better return for all that effort. I'd recommend making a sales pitch at the end of the video for every completed project. It's also totally ok to be as awkward as you need to be :-)

[@leeds299]

[@sebastianjost]

She is. They're all auctions. And it already looks like she will get quite a bit of funding for her future projects.

[@edvonrattlehead2135]

A follow up to the ball gown would be cool, if you come up with a layering and padding pattern that can stop small calliber handguns then you could start a line of bullet proof clothes.

I'd love to rock your merch! If I might offer some feedback though, I was a salty mechanic in the Navy and before turning to the dark side (engineering student). Sawdust sparkles just doesn't do it for me lol. I mean this with mountains of respect of course. The first merch I see that fits my style, I'm buying twice! Keep it up girl.

The faster than the wind car episode by Derek is how I found your channel. I assume it was also how a lot of others did too.

You were clearly out of your comfort zone with this video, but you saw its importance and did it nevertheless, and I think that deserves utmost respect. And that Botal Toat tote had me literally laughing out loud :D

I clicked through to see how much the faster than the wind vehicle was going for and OhMyGawd it's already over a thousand US! Ouch. I guess Xyla's not going to have any trouble funding her new project. But here's an idea... What if you were to start manufacturing them? Shrink the design, put it on kickstarter and I expect hundreds, maybe thousands of people would fund it, assuming of course, you can get the cost down far enough.
