[@theHacksmith]

What project would you like to see finished?

[@loganiosmithanio5373]

Winter soldier arm would be super badass, especially in real life

[@nomythstudios]

​@@loganiosmithanio5373 yes

[@nomythstudios]

Winter soldier arm or the jet engine umbrella

[@ModernDayKnight03]

I honestly think a revisit of the Doc Oc arms would be cool, especially if they end up like a second set of arms (general grievous was my favorite star wars character for a while) Even an arm that just holds something for you would be super useful. It would fix those times when you wanted to get all the groceries in one trip, needed to hold the flashlight, a screwdriver, and a wrench, at the same time, and so much more! Noticed your future plans included improving human abilities, and that's one step that seems close enough to reach.

[@LegendaryKillStreak]

Probably the sequel to the winter soldier arm, the venom suit (maybe as a co-op with NileRed) or the black widow electric charged punch

[@codybaldwin1604]

Man is looking good! Hope his mental health is going great, keep up the good work!

[@MMKnight_1]

Yeah. Looking very different.

[@lulzu8727]

hes looking like the giga chad meme

[@jeramieshoe837]

Not a fan of the hair dye at all.

[@kanavkant7383]

What happened 😮, someone please tell 👀

[@KebabsRock1997]

AI filter

[@oo44wo93]

NileRed made some ferrofluid that didn't stick to glass few years ago. And his video on process is decently detailed, so it should be possible to recreate it.

[@flameritsu7631]

Would love to see a collab between the 2 of them for the venom project

[@alwaysmiling1]

That would be awesome

[@abcdefgee]

Slight correction: it still sticks to glass, it just didn't stick to glass in those clipsbecause it was in water.

[@Steaphan9]

@@abcdefgee Would coating the glass with a hydrophobic coat prevent sticking?

[@abcdefgee]

@@Steaphan9 probably not, because the Ferro fluid is kerosene based, not water. Hydrophobic prevents water sticking, not oils.

[@PMQGaming]

The Arc reactor always fascinated me. Imagine if it could not only "keep you phone charged", but also power your entire being and everything around you.

[@RocketmanTT-fj3mq]

I'll have to agree on that and it will be interesting to see

[@snjert8406]

Yeah that does sound nice, but it would also be really radioactive hahaha

[@ChipsDaCat]

@@snjert8406 Unless you use a non radioactive fuel

[@snjert8406]

@@ChipsDaCat which fuel would you use that's this energy dense? I think only radioactive elements would work for that, sadly

[@SimonBauer7]

yes but an actual fusion reactor (which is what tonys arc reactor is) isnt all that radioactive.​@@snjert8406

[@JimmyJayJunior]

One of the best channels on YT. Keep teaching people how fun engineering is. The world needs more people like you guys

[@BasedCurly]

Ever since I was a child I wanted to be an inventor. Growing up I didn't have any inventor to look up to in terms of like having their own brand or company and doing whatever they like and make whatever gadget they want to. You were the one that gave me hope that it is possible. Thanks man. My CE degree is much more enjoyable knowing that I can use it to make cool stuff like you guys.

[@Guardian-of-Light137]

Just be careful doing it. Even hacksmith admits what they do is dangerous. Don't risk your life over your work. Enjoy it sure, just be careful.

[@pilchervlogs7592]

I remember watching the flying like Iron man series when I was younger and was honestly heartbroken when I found out it had been canceled, the hacksmith brought so many of my childhood fantasies to life, even though the gravity jet suit already exists, I think it would be really cool to see the flying like iron man project finished!

[@snjert8406]

This video was really cool to see. Learning from failed projects is always a really great way (if not the best) to improve and sharing that is even better. Loved this, thanks!!

[@Cheesycook]

You guys don't need to successfully finish a project for it to be educational and entertaining. The journey, not necessarily the destination. Keep up the good work.

[@overthegardenwall7143]

like the walker hexapod mech.

[@pyrarius1598]

Though I would like to get pelted by supersonic dodgeballs lol

[@paulkanja]

True. I swear Hacksmiths is Mythbusters but they have to make it work. They just need a guy with the surname Savage and boom

[@hazeltree7738]

@@paulkanja I wouldn't be surprised if they've worked with Adam Savage in the past, he seems pretty chill about working with youtubers

[@handlemonium]

Exactly. Stuff Made Here made the super consistent ball-throwing robot arm you guys were after. 😁

[@victorc4_1234]

Just wanted you to know Ben that you’re one of the main reasons I bought a lathe and now I love doing all types of woodworking and am building up the courage (and money) to start doing resin crafts too

[@mixren2837]

DUDE!! I remember back when you guys were making the Iron man suit in that garage area in Canada I think. To think it's been at least since 2017!! Y'all have come so far I'm happy for you guys! You guys always inspire me to be more creative and do projects like y'all ( on a smaller scale lol )

[@RRILLE79]

So impressed to see the evolution, since the start of "flying like Ironman" you have really made alot of cool projects. You guys rock.

[@docternoblex]

I just wanna say that James looks absolutely fantastic, it’s important to ones health to take care of yourself and focus on feeling good at this point in your life, especially when you’ve gone through all that you have making these fantastic memories, it’s thanks to him that I decided to pursue an interest in automotive design and repair and have almost finished restoration of my dream car, a 1977 Fiat 124 Spider, thank you James

[@raptonmk2987]

1:31 Im subscribers of both channels (and I also kept up with Jake's saga) so hearing you mention Jake made me happy

[@khaotica6203]

You guys got me into engineering. Currently a freshman in highschool, made it to states with my robotics team, and am taking a lot of classes revolving around engineering. You are all so inspiring. Thanks

[@ConnorTheDestroyer]

Good for you!

[@Roboseal2]

same here except im a sophomore.

[@Snaaky005]

Good to see James back! Super clean video! Very cool to see some projects I haven't seen before.

no, it's legitimately concerning.

[@kedo]

Love seeing these smaller or scrapped projects!! Please keep uploading these kinds of videos, a lot of us want to see the project work you guys are doing, even if it isn't an "EPIC UPDATE" every few months.

[@ConnorTheDestroyer]

I agree 👍🏽

[@stare4539]

yeah

[@raphaelokai5981]

Really proud to see you back. Stay strong and keep pushing.

Canada needs to provide you guys more grants, the innovative creativity you guys have shown throughout the years is outstanding!

[@kwmcgreal]

I am excited to see the Bionic Arm. Did the winder soldier It is great to see the projects that don't work out. This is just a fact when running a business like this so it is good to see your efforts!

[@JayEnfield]

Can confirm: The Thomas J Glover book basically contains every possible reference chart anyone could ever need. Have had mine for decades and adore the little guy. Admittedly it gets less use now that I have google in my pocket 24/7.

[@theHacksmith]

It's a fantastic resource. The internet is a fantastic resource too -- but sometimes finding reputable charts and information on google takes more time than flipping through a book of vetted information!

Glad to see your doing so much better James. I'm so happy to see more Hacksmith videos. Keep up the amazing content guys!

Thanks for this! I really have wondered numerous times just what happens to your scrapped projects, and what things you've attempted (but couldn't see through).

I remember seeing the Inspector Gadget Helicopter project in the background of a few videos, and I instantly new what it was. I was really looking forward to seeing it work so if you finish any of those projects, let it be that one! Thanks so much for the great video! 💜

Glad to see James. I hope he continues to get better. I would love to see the Winter Soldier project. It's the safest and James could benefit from the additional protection during testing of other projects.

[@CaseyGoff]

SO good to see you back, James. Thank you for making positive mental health a priority and helping to make it a norm. I can't wait to see what lies ahead.

[@Bledddy7]

Wow its been so long since I’ve watched u guys i love and loved your previous videos so cool!

[@iggysixx]

It's really interesting to see all the "failed" videos, I think. The mechanics / technical (or physical) limitations of why something can or cannot currently work is - (to me at least) - just as cool (if not better) than all the successful ones :) If anything, it makes me appreciate the successful projects even more. And it sets more realistic expectations for the rest of us (: (Even WD-40 was "Water Displacement: attempt #40") As an idea for content: I found the Power Loader process very interesting, because it went into more detail than usual which problems you ran into, and how you aimed to solve those. A tad less "hyper speed from start to finish", if you know what I mean. Also, James looked very sharp in those stills with the John Wick suit :)

[@jtru8077]

So excited to see what you guys make this year!

[@cardinalhamneggs5253]

Glad to see the channel is doing more videos. I hope James isn’t having too much trouble with his mental health. I’m also glad the Pocket Saber is coming back to the store!

[@LadiesBricks217]

So glad that James is back, I hope his health gets better. Also love that Tony Stark look!

[@abelhart5510]

I think it would be awsome to maybe collab with JLaser to improve on his Iron Man flight system since he already has a pretty good head start. I do remember seeing the thumbnail for the winter soldier arm and being super excited because I fully expected you guys to invent a pattern made of actual metal sheets that would cover your arm while allowing you to move your arm around fairly fluidly, but the result was just a reinforced sleeve. Could be cool to revisit that one.

[@GarrettHoward22]

All these projects were super cool, but I would love to see 10 and 11 finished

[@flibbet9410]

Definitely finish the venom project! I need that thing on my work desk!

[@iminumst7827]

An idea: revisit the umbrella idea, but instead of using jet engines, use a propeller. The goal of slowing and stabilizing descent is much more reasonable than achieving controllable flight like with the inspector gadget hat. Would also be cool if you could use some of the silent propeller blade designs as we see in some new drones.

[@24thehunt]

Love the channel! Would love to see further development on the ark reactor

Please finish the Inspector Gadget project! It would be so funny to see you fly like that! All of these sound really cool

[@SRFriso94]

Of all the ones you cancelled for effectively being too dangerous, the one that actually scares me the most is the arc reactor. Yes, the actual radioactivity might be minimal, but your intended use is to have it strapped to your person at all times, so the dose you get would still be pretty high. Reminded of The Thought Emporium and his videos on 'negative ion' products. The one I would really like to see finished is the Winter Soldier arm, that just looks awesome.
