The 14 hour tour paid off in spades! I couldn't believe we wrapped at 2am 😂 You've got the record of longest tour, but I think there was still more I could have shown you! Thanks for sharing everything we do with the world!
I would totally be the highest rank of member if I could afford it... I'm glad that this video helps shed some light on the costs of production, which I think a lot of viewers take for granted. Thank you Jon for posting and I hope this video gets both this channel and hacksmith's channel a lot more members.
I wasn't expecting the incredible transparency with all the business metrics and numbers. A lot of creators shy away from it, but it's super interesting to peak behind the curtain!
One thing I've learned from years of watching Hacksmith videos, is that they are always open to talk about anything. For example on the most recent video they did, James was replying to people on a comment saying that the videos were underperforming this year, and they had to let a few people go due to this. There were also people bouncing ideas off of him to see if they could think of anything that would help the channel, and he took time to address each of the ideas and say why they wouldn't be possible. In my opinion, that's becoming a rarer site on UA-cam for channels of their size, so it's always refreshing to see that open line of communication they have. :)
@@Deja117 Yes! hes replied to comments and liked mine many times. he engages in such a friendly and open way that feels like youre talking to a friend not a big youtuber. honestly shows what a great guy he is
Right.. nothing says down to earth ASF like a 5.000.000 USD workshop and running your business as the edge of bankruptcy. I am sure he has everything over the top cause he is down to earth ASF ;)
Because he doesn't have any money. Didn't you hear him? They run a deficit a lot of the time, and only sometimes make money. If it wasn't for the lightsaber torch they would probably be out of business. (How he got this past Disney without being sued is a HUGE question) As it is, clearly, success is killing them slowly. Spending $300k a month and no guaranteed product is extremely risky. The fact they are running on mostly selling merch now shows their business model is less than sound in the long run.
JON! This is an incredible video, and it's so awesome to honestly be introduced to James thru this content!! It makes me much more excited to watch a creator after you get to learn so much about them!!!!!! DO MOAAAAR OF THESE!!!!!
I am an Electrical Engineer who quit medical school to become an engineer after watching the Hacksmith and TKOR. So watching him go from a literall backyard with Ian behinf the camera for the exoskeleton to a full on Facility is the greatest inspiration to me.
You can see the emotion in James’ eyes sometimes like he lost something by archiving all this. Remarkable man and also a little bit sad to see. Full respect for him!
I'm surprised he was so transparent with everything. It's like he's been waiting to get it all off his chest, to let the world know everything that goes into to what he does. you could tell he's finally been wanting everybody to know this is not easy. It's not cheap. A lot of hard work goes into it. I respect that. 💯💯💯 ✌🏾
This is the first time I have heard of the Hacksmith channel. Have I been under a rock this whole time? Hell, this is the first time I've come across a video from Jon Youshaei.
The first time i saw one of james's videos was when i was 9, and it was the Captain america Shield video. And ever since then, i watched almost every video. English isn't my native language, but even though i didn't understand half of what he said when i was younger. James is the reason that i want to start an engineering degree next year.
I’ve been a fan of James since his exoskeleton project and I even got to talk to him for a while at opensauce and he gave me a 3d printer. Seeing his success has been extremely inspiring for me but I also get a melancholy feeling whenever he talks about his business. I sincerely hope he gets to do his own projects for fun, rather than only for views. He’s an incredibly nice guy and the conversations I had with him meant a lot
Whats cool is he made real adamantium bones like wolverine using this electro-plating nano metal and he also showcasing a real-life super soldier syrum? Idk because he hasn't dropped a video on It yet but he did mentioned it and showed a clip of him being injected and it supposedly fixed his back. Idk what that is actually going to be.
I loved watching the hacksmith during covid, but stopped for whatever reason. I recently saw him talk about the channel in a comment on LTT and was super impressed with the honesty. I hope it gets back to the good ol days! :) Keep it up!
This was a great video, I've been watching James and the growing team for years and it's a travesty that they still struggle, James is a massive inspiration and deserves allot more. The power loader is by far my favourite build and they did it serious justice.
Another fascinating video. Always amazed at how far these u tubers can go these days or how much money they are willing to spend to bring their ideas to life. U definitely make them feel very comfortable and ask all the right questions. Seeing all the things behind the scene must have been very cool . Love your laughs. Look forward to your interview with him 👏👏👏❤️very proud of u
This video made me fall in love with james all over again as a fan. I teared up when he talked about getting back to his roots. He was my childhood. I saw him build ironman suits and that blew my mind. The segment about Grant brought back memories. I was his subscriber and i used to watch all of his videos and somewhere i lost access to that account and somehow completely forgot abt TKOR too. When they showed the clips my mind just went crazy realising how I've forgotten everything that made my childhood awesome. But i did not know until this video abt his passing...RIP grant...thank you so much for all the videos. Thank you jon that was a fucking rollercoaster of a video.
im 55 been through some stuff in my tenure, to hear the young man say hes encouraged younger people to go to school and learn something and to go off and have a nice life was the best part of the video. great video by the way one of the best iv seen,great job guys.
I appreciate Jon’s candor and just how genuine he is. I hope he continues to find success and keep that spark that made him passionate about what he does.
This is severely depressing. I watched the Hacksmith channel since the beginning and knowing how hard it was, how less fun it is, and how it became a chore instead of a dream, I gave up on following that dream. I saw someone else reach that goal, saw how it isn't even worth all the effort, so I gave up. I don't even work in engineering anymore, even though I spent 6+ years of my life full-time studying it. At least I got the skills for my own needs. All I would really need was just a shop/shed full of tools, just like the first garage they had. When I heard that James had to get help (IIRC therapy), it really hit me hard. It sucks to see how the old rule is still correct, that you can lose joy in any hobby if it becomes your work. Thanks for the interview and thanks James for being honest with us.
the hacksmith have have been a mentor for me an sparked my passion to make animatronics. right now i am working on a grave crawler for halloween. first vid i loved it keep it up.
I remember watching his little videos about being in engineering school and if you could boil pasta at room temperature. then his Elysium exoskeleton kinda blew up. Amazed he's kept it up for so long
I have a fun story too, when they showed that the parkour tutorial was their first video I recalled seeing it ages before but I had no idea it would become such a huge channel lol
WOW, what an actually literally amazing video. Absolutely fascinating on multiple levels, I'm really looking forward to the next video with the interview. I have so much more respect for him and what he's done after seeing this, truly open and heartfelt responses. So rare in the shiny world of social media to see someone being transparent and even vulnerable and self effacing .
19:13 I love how even after spending 5+ years on that build he still gets a slight smirk when destroying that car. I can only dream of creating something that magnificent that I can come back to showcase and still entertain myself
"reducing the friction to making" is so awesome to me, i have adhd and i feel like i have a bit of ocd, but really sometimes its just good to be organized
this is way better than the other video i watched from another channel i forgot because i've not subscribed to that channel. basically that guy also went to youtubers studio but his tour is so focused on camera and stuff that's used to shoot videos rather than the details or specialty of the studios he's visiting. there's one video where he goes to woodworking studio and there's so much interesting tools and whatnot there but all he asked is just what camera what lighting what camera setup stuff like that. i imagine if he goes to hacksmith studio, we won't get to see much of the interesting stuff that's shown here. i get it that the guy's channel is a camera gear channel or gadget channel but he left out so much interesting stuff.
I remember watching James' videos before the whole thing blew up and thinking 'hmm, I wonder where this goes'. Insane to see it go from a shack to a campus.
I started building things because I got inspired by watching the hacksmith's videos way back in 2016 when I was in junior high school. I found it so cool to actually replicate some of the cool tech we see in movies and video games in real life. Am a grown up now and I still watch the hacksmith's videos. I even started my UA-cam channel to document some of my personal build projects because of the hacksmith.
I like seeing this real side of The Hacksmith And I can't really understand, but I can feel the some, a very little part, of the struggle in his voice I hope to be like him. Maybe better. That's ambitious though
I'm glad James gets to have this outlet to express his grievances to a degree (I'm sure the upcoming video will have more of this too). I know that the business for the past several years has not been kind to him and I know that he expressed his disappointment several times through the replies he gives in the comment section, but having him lay out the specifics gives us plenty of perspective.
This man inspired me to pursue a career and mechatronics also taking some classes in IT I might touch in cybersecurity but I think we're megatronics I like working with my hands
Thank you for this video. I just got released from my job a week ago and I’ve been slowwwwwly growing my channel. I’ve been working on my own magic and giving back, so thank you
Man, so much goes on at HERC. I just wish the internet didn't do it's thing and forget about everything in a matter of hours and move on to the next best thing.
If my life were a bit different today I would come to work for free, just to learn and be part of something amazing like this.. I wish you continued success.
All fabulous. The moment that got me was the secret passage hidden in the secret room leading to the secret mezzanine... omg, its all just fun but, its fun loaded on fun.
17:04 That's SOOOOO sweet! You can tell he's annoyed at how little people value the engineering inside and then immediately offers it to him to hold, as soon as he shows any interest at all... 😀 When in reality, there are COUNTLESS people that would love and value the work that went into this, just not the average/median TikTok/YT audience!
The grant Thompson room melts my heart I’m an og to the king of random channel. Heart broken to grants tragic accident, so much respect to hacksmith naming his meeting room after him 🖤
Great video. I watched his channel Alot, but UA-cam removed most of the channels I subscribed to and I'm starting to find them again, an thanks to you I found his channel a second time. Thank you little brother for this video.
I live in Paris, Europe, come from Poland. Studied physics and imformatics. It's my dream to build similar Hacksmith in here from 0 ,D Thanks for the Video. So cool stuff! ,D
Reminds me on what my teacher said to the class the first time in the workshop. Every tool on the workshop is safe, the only dangerous thing in here is you.
I believe the saying is "polish a turd" not "shine a shit" 😂 love the channel! Your living my dream! I think you guys could do some amazing collaborations with grind hard plumbing on larger projects like the mech suit stuff and make some really amazing projects and i think the individual strengths of each channel would really compliment each other!
I love driving past your new shop! WAY nicer then the old one! in fact im pretty sure i seen you filming this exact video lol. it would be so cool to walk through that building after having watched all your videos knowing the cool shit i would see!
Thanks to guys like James, Mark Rober who promote intelligence and knowledge. Many young guys have decided to become engineers after watching their videos)
The 14 hour tour paid off in spades! I couldn't believe we wrapped at 2am 😂
You've got the record of longest tour, but I think there was still more I could have shown you! Thanks for sharing everything we do with the world!
Thanks again James!! I was seriously blown away man 🤯
I would totally be the highest rank of member if I could afford it...
I'm glad that this video helps shed some light on the costs of production, which I think a lot of viewers take for granted. Thank you Jon for posting and I hope this video gets both this channel and hacksmith's channel a lot more members.
James you do no work at all. You just appear at the end of videos for clout. cringe.
This video brought me back to your Channel James, and I don't know why I even stopped watching!
Finding under replied comments from hacksmith is a hidden joy of a modern world.
I wasn't expecting the incredible transparency with all the business metrics and numbers. A lot of creators shy away from it, but it's super interesting to peak behind the curtain!

Transparency, all I need to know is what it costs for the lightsaber and where the nearest bank is!
Sometimes youtubers cant be so transparent because of NDA contracts. Its always a breath of fresh air when they get to be so open
Yes it's like only fans to. No one shares numbers. Like no one really cares. It's interesting yes, but most will forget the next day
@@Deja117 Yes! hes replied to comments and liked mine many times. he engages in such a friendly and open way that feels like youre talking to a friend not a big youtuber. honestly shows what a great guy he is
The best thing about him, he is down to earth asf
He didn't let money to take over being humble.
Mad respect.
Right.. nothing says down to earth ASF like a 5.000.000 USD workshop and running your business as the edge of bankruptcy. I am sure he has everything over the top cause he is down to earth ASF ;)
@@OohzyJohnDowhe’s in Canada. That’s 5 million Canadian.
@@OohzyJohnDow running on thin margins isn't "near bankruptcy", most tech startups for example run for years _at a loss_ before becoming profitable
Because he doesn't have any money.
Didn't you hear him?
They run a deficit a lot of the time, and only sometimes make money.
If it wasn't for the lightsaber torch they would probably be out of business. (How he got this past Disney without being sued is a HUGE question)

Whoa, didn't expect to see Peter Hollens here! Hi!
Imagine my surprise to see the same name that lives on my soundtrack here.
I have been a fan of the hack-smith since I was in middle school back in 2013, it’s been amazing to see them grow to what they have become today.
same i was just done with highschool back then and it was always a nice break from all that time spent playing cod in college lol
James talking about the Schwartz is such a quick witted perfect timing joke 😂
hahah i nearly lost it

@@ErickKamau-r2rI notice you didn't say his statement was false tho

You can see the emotion in James’ eyes sometimes like he lost something by archiving all this. Remarkable man and also a little bit sad to see. Full respect for him!
Yeah he burnt up a few times

This is the first time I have heard of the Hacksmith channel. Have I been under a rock this whole time? Hell, this is the first time I've come across a video from Jon Youshaei.
Check out Alex Lab he's the real Ironman of UA-cam. Hacksmith is the hacksmith of youtube.
@@chrishayes5755 this is true.
Same here😂
yeah, alex makes iron man stuff , hacksmith makes other stuff@@chrishayes5755

Dude dropping and showing yt numbers like he don't care, lots of creators are like super mysterious about that lmao
UA-camrs aren't mysterious about it they're just tight arsed I prefer if people was more like this
Well back in the day, youtube didn't allow to talk about how much you earned from them. Don't know when that changed.
The first time i saw one of james's videos was when i was 9, and it was the Captain america Shield video. And ever since then, i watched almost every video.
