[@eternalv0id_]

loving that TKOR is going back to its roots

[@oscartv286]

Finally

[@jacobwhittington2462]

Agreed

[@anthonyraye5831]

Me too!!

[@Andrew-ih2gz]

Now we need them to collaborate with Jorge Sprave. He knows his stuff about slingshots.

[@danielturchan4092]

I was about to say the same thing 👍

[@lodgamers837]

This is the kind of content I missed from TKOR

[@fastfolky]

Exactly!

[@Coles_creations]

So fair

[@theofficialdgl]

This channel went from “let’s talk about clouds and our feelings” to “let’s build weapons for children” and I’m here for it.

[@WebCamNinja96]

We are so back.

[@TheKingofRandom]

“Won’t somebody think of the children?!” Jarom raises hand…

[@deedman5905]

I can finially resubscribe. TKOR hasn't been the same since Grant pass. He was my hero. He wasn't afraid to get dirty nor was he afraid to go to the absolut limit for science. He had my repect and admiration for years and i enjoyed each and every one of his videos he posted. Long live THE KING OF RANDOM!! And to the New era as well. I Believe this young man will continue Grants legacy doing what he loved not only as his friend, but has a fellow pionner.

[@TheKingofRandom]

I freaking love you! Thank you! -Jarom

[@WolfsHaven]

I love our new host. You could tell Nate and Cali tried to honor how Grant did his show, I liked them, but it just wasnt the same. Grace wasn't bad but took the show in a direction that felt nothing like what Grant had done. With Jarom the show feels a lot more like what Grant did and it's awesome again. Thank you.

[@TheKingofRandom]

You might be my new favorite person! -Jarom

[@EdwinSarkissian]

First order of business… let’s make weapons. Nailed it 😊

[@TheKingofRandom]

I’ve got my priorities! -Jarom

[@WeiChei]

Jarom is doing an amazing job! Keep it up Jarom!

[@TheKingofRandom]

I’ve got your back!! -Jarom

[@CrazyGamerDude17]

This is what I came to TKOR for in my childhood, thank you for bringing this channel back to it's scientific and creative start, this is bringing back it's humble, yet great beginnings

[@TheKingofRandom]

Welcome back!

[@Anton_X69]

Dangerous, Stupid, Fire, This is what this channel is about LOVE IT!!

[@user-jt8de1kp3y]

This video made me go through years of memories with TKOR. I went back and looked up videos from 4-5 plus years ago. Cried. Laughed. And remembered. I'll see you in the great beyond my mentor.

[@fatveganliberator]

So, I watched the video and I had an idea of how to make the video feel a little more polished. The way to do this is when you're doing the distance tests, and even the power tests would be to show a shot or two over the shoulder, showing the cause and effect of the ammo. By doing this you help make the launcher feel like it has way more of an effect on the world. I'm all for still using the close ups as well, I'd just like to feel the impact a little more. All the best for the future and I hope this helps and or inspires you when you're doing other projects 🙂

[@TheKingofRandom]

Solid advice. Thank you!

[@Lukeorice]

Going back to the roots. I’m loving the new host, seems to be capturing everything that grant did when he hosted the channel!!

[@TheKingofRandom]

I love to hear this! -Jarom

[@tyreseanthony866]

I always come back to check this channel out because it's my childhood. I thought I'd come back to mourn it's downfall again but I'm so happy that videos like this are out again!

[@JoeA1974]

*THIS IS THE STUFF THAT MADE TKOR FAMOUS* Yeah, I haven't even watched the video yet but I'm already excited to and will probably view it a few times. 👍 Thanks 😊 TKOR

[@youngcuzzoproductions]

potato cannon would be a cool continuation to this, maybe trying different fuels and projectiles?

[@di_spencer7372]

I like

[@TheKingofRandom]

It’s already on the list! -Jarom

[@Thunderbolt2396]

Man this put a smile on my face. Love to see that this channel is going back to where it shined. Keep it up!

[@TheKingofRandom]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@WREKLOC]

I hadnt enjoyed a video from TKOR in a looong time. Thank you

[@TheKingofRandom]

More to come! Thank you for believing in us again

[@davidhealdjr.513]

Thanks you for reviving this great channel.

[@SaturnOfficialClub]

Just bring back the “so here’s the basic idea” sketch

[@brycehampton7649]

Could you use alcohol to make like a pistol because I seen videos how to use it, like muskets back in 1700s or 1300s and one of the youtubes the super dads on KZbin make some, could it do the same?

[@YodaIamnot1981]

This is what I missed from TKOR! More of this content and more! And may Grant’s memory continue to live on in great projects like this!

[@thebutterfluffman6855]

Okay, I'm listening

[@gaelonhays1712]

Right?

[@user-yi1mn2xl8f]

i love how you r like grant

[@jayluck8047]

I’d love to know the fps of that thing. Also, I’m positive you could come up with a more stable round of ammo. Great vid though. Looking back, I realize I had all the fixings to make one of these in my dad’s garage when I was a kid. Pity that I was more into books.

[@urownpersonalgod]

Yessssss! Good content again!!!! Definitely missed it!! Thank you!! I feel grant's spirit in this video and im SOOO happy for it!!! Keep it up!

[@robertmata1997]

I know these videos lately have been flooded with “finally this feels like TKOR” but it’s so TRUE, these videos feel like the grant videos I watched as a kid😢 ugh the nostalgia the new direction TKOR is giving me is so great

[@TheKingofRandom]

You’re flooding my heart with all the feels!! -Jarom

[@Atigeve]

I miss Grant and he is who brought me to TKOR, I love Nate and Cali too they kept that feeling in the show, Grace was bubbly and happy and went a dif direction but still was good, now we are back to the TKOR I loved. Good Job.

[@akareggaming8437]

love that tkor is making lethal weapons again

[@wyattknouse5745]

I can resubscribe again, legit my first video I watched was Grant building that pvc blowgun 😅 I’m glad to see you man, and can’t wait to see where you will go with this channel

[@asiandrag0n]

Could you guys also try and do more sciencey projects as well that grant used to do? Also glad that TKOR is going back to do things that grant did. Ever since grant passed, I've remained subbed but never watched cause the content wasn't the same anymore. This is the first TKOR vid since he passed that I willingly watched. Hope you guys do more diy science projects like he did.

[@user-bv1ul6lz9f]

This is amazing, very well put together and very easy to follow.

[@justinmorgan5073]

So glad TKOR is getting back to its roots!

[@lukefrahn8538]

JAROM - please dress up as Heath Ledger's JOKER next halloween and do some sort of Batman project

[@TheKingofRandom]

😂😂😂 ok, that’s a reasonable suggestion… -Jarom

[@lukefrahn8538]

​@@TheKingofRandomjust that you bear a close resemblance and if you tie it to an awesome project the video would probably go viral. best of luck

[@corrpendragon]

This is epic! ❤

[@Instabwillity]

I haven't been happy when I saw a TKOR upload in a long time. You've made my day, thank you.

[@Upscidown]

This felt more like going back to it's roots. Love it, reminds me of the peg guns we made as kids.

[@ZeL-iq5sf]

TKOR is coming back!!!

[@presack]

Yes!! We are so excited to see this kind of content.

[@Ocramman86]

Grant would be proud to have this content on his channel!

[@realudaysharma]

Jarom, you are the best! Time to resubscribe❤

[@dracow35]

This is something Grant would've made. Yet you are taking it in your own spin and it's amazing!

[@ProthPhenom]

Finally feels like TKOR again!

[@nivlheim09c97]

I'm kinda getting hooked into woodworking recently with lots of pallets around in my house. And I'm planning to make benches since Lenten season is near and there will be visitors. But KZbin recommended me again back to this channel. Okay ... better make some toys for my nephew ... or for me.

[@RandomBrother3]

Awesome job! Bringin it back!!!

[@gregslaughter9662]

This feels like Grant's videos I used to watch in high school. Contrary to popular opinion, I liked Grace's energy and I hope she's doing well now. Glad you guys didn't give up and took feedback from fans

[@allansolano5587]

Finally the real justice this channel needed

[@jyl11002]

And with that, a return to form!! I love these projects, dangerous enough that I probably won't try it, but easy enough that I could if I wanted to

[@DS-li7go]

EXCELLENT! Now I just need a list of materials in the video description. This is a hit on my end guys.

[@TheKingofRandom]

Rebuilding all of that! Thank you for believing in us again.

[@rodgeers7347]

This was a fun one. I haven't seen this channel in a while. Good to see it still holding up well

[@michaelsaine]

and tkor is rising again.

[@TheKingofRandom]

Absolutely!

[@yugalkhanal6967]

i love it, finally respecting Grant's legacy

[@SoulshadeVr101]

nice return to form

[@MaxStax1]

Finally, some content i want to watch again on TKOR!

[@TheKingofRandom]

❤

[@elanti-furrodelrancho3499]

FINALLY, THIS IS WHAT TKOR WAS ALL ABOUT!

[@bearfireforge]

So happy to see you doing all this fun stuff and you seem very happy. I got my first forge from you back in the day, appreciate all you do. Keep being awesome my friend!

[@TheKingofRandom]

You’ll love what’s coming next! -Jarom

[@ItzWaterWheelz]

This seems cool yet oddly dangerous-

[@eljaibas16]

That's why we decided to subscribe to TKOR back then

[@greenepea11704]

That was awesome, Jarom!! You're a natural!! ✌️

[@TheKingofRandom]

Thanks so much!!

[@fredrikbergkvist9123]

At last! Some real king of of random content ❤

[@lunabelletheinsane]

I am so happy to resubscribe to this channel again!! I missed it. Nate (and Callie) tried so hard to keep Grant's legacy alive, but when the manager guys were just looking to make money - they ruined Grant's original vision, which is why Callie and Nate left and the channel just died over time. No shade to Grace, but she was hired in at a very different time for the channel so I don't blame her at all. Jarom - I am looking forward to more videos from you Keep up the AMAZING work you're doing.

[@gracefultim]

[@randomscene3219]

this is the content we expect.

[@boomfiziks]

This is great, but do you have a suggestion of hot to make a highly consistent and accurate projectile launcher? I teach physics and I’ve made various rubber band, compressed air (and vacuum), and explosive (like hairspray and alcohol) projectile launchers. The issue is none of them have consistent launching speeds and also be safe for students to handle safely. I’m not looking for anything too powerful…something that can be used within a classroom.

[@TheKingofRandom]

Have you seen Grant’s laser sighted blowgun? I’m thinking of making a larger version of that using compressed air… -Jarom

[@HumbleCowboy92]

Incredible video! Reminds of the good ol’ days of this channel

[@TheKingofRandom]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Keep up the great work

Love how you used a premier branded drill bit for the holes 😂😂😂

You can pay for the good tools now, or later, after the cheap ones break. And good tools make me happy! -Jarom

[@gaelonhays1712]

I don't even need to watch the video. "Crossbow-slingshot" earned a like immediately. But I'm still gonna watch the video, because, well: *crossbow-slingshot.* Edit: It did not disappoint. Jarom, your videos remind me of Grant's, and they make me want to make cool, possibly dangerous things just as much. Further edit: Have you considered collabing with Smarter Every Day? That could make a neat couple of videos if you find the right project.

[@HarrisonMartinson]

I love the new direction. My advice is to be more clear because I got confused multiple times in this video. For example, you said "We got our box built to contain our glass". The glass had not been introduced at this point, so I had no idea what that meant until a minute later when I found out the targets were going to be glassware. It may seem obvious, but to the masses it might not be. One great way to improve communication and especially viewer retention is to break up the video by showing what you're going to do next. For example, you might start indoors with the glassware and crossbow on display while you explain what you're going to do and what you hope to see. It doesn't seem like much, but the promise of payoff is crucial to maintain viewer engagement during the less exciting sections. I believe youtube allows you to check where retention drops off. This should be a great help to figure out retention problems.

[@chrissybies4055]

I have a question could you can you test the Stanley against two other against two other similar cups for temperature durability and whatever else you can think because the video that I found wasn't affair example

[@GamingAmbienceLive]

keep at it it might be a while before the channel resurrects, but this is the only right direction

[@noferblatz]

Ah, more Grant-like content!

[@Out-to-Pastor]

Would using flat bands change the power?

Can you guys pls send behind the scenes of the "Modifying a Stomp Rocket to Launch a QUARTER MILE!" Video??? It’s my favorite one
