My dad just bought one of your chairs. They seem very well built and the adjustability in almost every bracket is awesome for each person. The fact that you don’t sell them as medical devices for the insurance money is so freaking cool and benefits the customer so much. This video is awesome to see, and how much passion you have in a “insurance pays for everything so it doesn’t matter how much we charge” industry and reverse that to benefit the customer in every way is simply incredible.
@ the out of pocket price for my dad was less than half of what his medical deductible was for a new chair (not the powered wheelchair, just the rolling chair). Yes they are still expensive, but they are a fraction of what most people’s deductibles for medical devices are. So it’s a win for everyone. The point of my comment is Jerry could charge 10x what he currently does and still sell a bunch of chairs because the insurance company pays the bill. But instead he gives people an opportunity to buy a new chair for cheaper than going through insurance (and much higher quality).
Jerry to me is like a big boss but with super calm personality who I can always go to say “mate I may have messed up” and he goes “alright, take it easy, tell me whats happened and we’ll go from there”
Among a lot of iPhone 16 stuff recently...this video comes out as a truly Authentic and interesting one... (Always wanted a tour of Jerry's amazing factory...and u did it as a surprise) Beyond Amazing ✨
Man this was amazing! Awesome video and awesome factory! So good to see someone honestly doing something that helps people! You and Zach are both so amazing!
The questions she was asking were exactly what any layman will ask, these were just out of curiosity questions, which i loved , not something scripted fancy ones.
Mad respect to Jerry and his team, bro is building something that actually matters. Companies like these makes money, meaningful products and overall economic contribution to the country.
I love when someone who knows nothing about manufacturing, not saying that in an offensive way, sees how things are mad, Seeing how amazed by the things I've been doing for most of my life really took me back to the first time I walked into that world. I think a lot of people should be able to see the "behind the scenes" of this world.
@@travisa4908 🥹🙏🏻 so happy this video made u feel that way! So much admiration for the industry and the people in it! Thank you so much for watching !!
I recently started watching this channel, and I'm really liking the content being churned out. I love watching people have a great conversation, it makes me feel good inside. Keep up the content.
So awesome to finally look behind the curtain! I saw so many of Jerry's videos presenting and talking about the wheelchairs they make and to finally see this is really fascinating. Thank you both!
Always great to see what they're up to at Not A Wheelchair. Love the part in the video where the young lady, holding the clip on microphone, asks (after the laser is clearly done) if she still needs to wear the welding glasses. Great stuff.
JerryRigEverything is one of the coolest people on the planet. I love everything about this. Thanks for giving us a tour around his factory! Its nice to see where all of the funds he raises for the company are being put to use!
Let’s goo Factory tour! Also as impressive as the factory is now, it still has a lot of growth potential, and after the initial issues of manufacturing have been solved, this factory is going to churn out wheelchair after wheelchair! I would love to see you revisit the factory probably after a year, and take a tour on the new changes! I will be waiting to watch it! 🔥🔥
Bringing down cost is key to business success. This is what makes China so successful. Good to see there are people also going down same path in America. Not everything needs to sell at premium. It will reduce number of buyers if the price is too high. Their strategy of bringing everything possible in-house is the right way to go. I wish them more success although I know they won't need it cause the company will definitely become profitable in a short time.
Generally speaking, i think this is how lot of companies start, with a genuinely good founder who's trying to do good and benefit society and the world, but after his company expands and long after he passes away, some guys in fancy suits step in to monopolies and corrupt everything, from the core foundation of the company and its goal, to the lazy mass production and lack of passion, and the only thing that remains is the slogun and the image of the founder just to appeal to people and give them the illusion that they care and are just as passionate.
Many times. Unless the founder set up rules in the company’s structure to prevent it. Many times companies like that get bought during hard times, and closed with the assets going to a company that can be controlled the way they want
Didn't spend much time at the tube bender, but out of everything in this video that is the hardest job to master. Ran one for a couple years. Also don't forget the $30k in OSHA required fencing around the machine!
05:15 What he talks about is a thermite reaction. Cutting steel will produce iron oxide and if it is hot enough the aluminium will reduce the iron oxide into pure iron and produce like 2500 degrees Celsius (4500 F).
That is awesome Zack! You are a very giving person! Too cool. Maybe one day there will be one that could be small enough to go on an airplane? Way cool!
I have been working in industry for long time and these prices are pumped out by double, even tripple compared to prices in EU. But on other hand, great job, respect!
I am so impressed with your factory as well as your personality and ambition to complete this project. Now don't get a big head over that! I'm in a wheelchair and I like to invent and build things too. I created a "Hauler" by name, that is a platform with a railing and big fat small tires. I started with a wheelchair prototype and broke it down into parts, which I used with a new frame that my father built out of square metal tubing. I used an electronic controller that was designed and used for battlebots! I had to wait for several years for that component to be invented. I'm still working on this device and trying to complete it. It works and runs well but not to the finished state I would like. I wish the best for your company.
He might want to invest in a few Metal X portable extinguishers just in case he does have a metal fire. It is what fire engines carry as a last resort for aluminum engine block fires and other metal fires. Water can cause bigger problems and regular ABC powder isn't generally effective.
This comment made me tear up this is so wholesome and kind 🥹🙏🏻 thank you so much for feeling this way!!!!! So cute u noticed that moment!! Was honored to be there!
Great guy and am amazing project. Hope someday he will expand internationally and build many fabs in different countries. I hate that most manufacturers get rich off the back of people with disabilities.
5:28 I think it would have been great if you showed the machine and how it performs the job while Zack was explaining about the same. It would have been more interesting that way ig.
Very impressive, and love the passion project drive. A question I wonder about, what did they learn from Tesla's factory setup and tooling. I cant help to think...where is the mega press? ;)
I really liked this! You asked good questions and made nice remarks! I don't get why you had to have the mic in the hand when it worked fine on Zack? But nevertheless, great video!
@@danielclausmeyer thank you so much!!! I’m so grateful you liked it!!:)) the mics were picking up a lot of the background noise so we thought that we should try to minimize it with mine (with Zack’s we couldn’t since he needed his hands to show things ☺️)
powdered steel and aluminium is thermite. a explosive mixture used for cutting and welding steel. one of the worst industrial explosions in America was at a plant that made sintered castings and forgings from powdered aluminium. from a lack of cleaning maintnance the dust built up in the roof structure and on the ducting and a small explosion disturbed it and it went boom again. and killed or seriously injured several people any fine dust can explode.
I work at an actual light fab/sheet metal shop. Shop checks out, it's a legit operation. The next step would be auto-feeders and inline process machines, which are monster operation like what they use to build normal wheelchairs I can't wait to see where this is in a few years once they hit their stride, I know a few people who could use something like this even though they don't need a normal wheelchair. Going around a park or state fairground with a cane is a lot of work Also, cutting a ton of aluminum and some steel on a laser is a great way to make thermite in a filter. You have to keep a Class D extinguisher handy, and they are not cheap, LMAO. We have one by our bandsaw and by our graining machine. the aluminum burns hot enough to strip the oxygen off iron oxide, which kicks the fire up hot enough to flow the liquid steel.
I went to trade school for welding and sheet metal work. Rule #1 was "never look directly at the weld without eye protection" and rule #2 was "never weld for extended periods in a t-shirt." Burning a hole in your cornea from looking into a weld isn't fun. It feels as if you poured sand or crushed glass into your eye. Your eyes constantly water, you're in constant pain, you can't sleep because of it, and it stays like that for 2-3 days. I also know people who welded for hours wearing a t-shirt and their arms looked like they'd been at the beach for half a day.
very interesting video, i wonder if they work with actual potential users of these products, it's unusual to see someone creating a business about a need they don't have themselves, also the faster vehicles seem like they need seat belts. Also makes me curious how they intend to be cheaper than the competition having their own factory with such expensive equipment (i'm no expert, just very curious)
Yes! Thanks for stopping by! Come back any time!
Hi
🙏🏻☺️
@JerryRigEverything
you're a star
Thanks for supporting this young lady
Technology!! 🤩
Zach is a good example of humanity personified. Keep up the good work, man.
Thanks, Jacklyn, for covering and supporting by sharing this.
Thank you so much and agreed he’s so great!!:)
I would vote for Zach as president
@@quintonostler4154 too busy doin REAL shit to be president

Mini Zack at the bending machine 😮 Austin Power vibes
It's Mini Me! 🤣
I was thinking the same! Same shirt, same haircut.. or lack thereof. hahaha
Yeah baby 😅
at first I thought you meant the bending machine is a mini Zack 😅 pretty sure he could bend those pipes as well 👌
I thought the same. Even the clothes are nearly even 🤣
Such good work guys, both of you! Great interview / tour (as always!), and so good to see UA-cams money going into a great cause / business.
You’re the best thank you so much for being here and checking this out 🙏🏻

7:42 so now he's cloning himself ?? 😂😂
8:00, when she asks whether this is a new machine too after he turns away from them. 😂😂
Mini Me 😂
I laughed so hard when mini Zach walked on I felt bad and had to check the comments.
The questions she was asking were exactly what any layman will ask, these were just out of curiosity questions, which i loved , not something scripted fancy ones.

0:11 For a moment I thought there was more than one Zach on screen
😂
😂
This is so cool! 🔥🔥🔥
Bro invested millions and want to help the one who needed without taking any profit from it. What A LEGEND.

can't tell if this is a sweet comment or if ur being sarcastic hah - either way thanks for being here!

When Men build stuffs particularly good stuffs it gives me great joy. Kudos to Jerry and his team.
Those track wheelchairs are popular for paintball events, they’ll typical allow the person to act as a tank and have special rules for that
I love the fact that such a wholesome project is being shared to world through you at least.
🥹🙏🏻 thank you so much for being here and watching this!!
Cool video Zack and I am a durability engineer so very interested to learn about your approach to ensure your products are strong enough and durable!
very cool, love manufacturing, especially cool to see something so personal and also being in the US
Me too and agreed:)
Great interview and informative. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much 🥹🙏🏻

For the manufacturing equipment or the wheelchairs and components?

Zach went from going to OshCut to play with laser to buy his own laser machine. Fun to see him succeed.
powdered steel and aluminium is thermite. a explosive mixture used for cutting and welding steel.
one of the worst industrial explosions in America was at a plant that made sintered castings and forgings from powdered aluminium. from a lack of cleaning maintnance the dust built up in the roof structure and on the ducting and a small explosion disturbed it and it went boom again. and killed or seriously injured several people
any fine dust can explode.
I work at an actual light fab/sheet metal shop. Shop checks out, it's a legit operation. The next step would be auto-feeders and inline process machines, which are monster operation like what they use to build normal wheelchairs
I can't wait to see where this is in a few years once they hit their stride, I know a few people who could use something like this even though they don't need a normal wheelchair. Going around a park or state fairground with a cane is a lot of work
Also, cutting a ton of aluminum and some steel on a laser is a great way to make thermite in a filter. You have to keep a Class D extinguisher handy, and they are not cheap, LMAO. We have one by our bandsaw and by our graining machine. the aluminum burns hot enough to strip the oxygen off iron oxide, which kicks the fire up hot enough to flow the liquid steel.
I went to trade school for welding and sheet metal work. Rule #1 was "never look directly at the weld without eye protection" and rule #2 was "never weld for extended periods in a t-shirt."
Burning a hole in your cornea from looking into a weld isn't fun. It feels as if you poured sand or crushed glass into your eye. Your eyes constantly water, you're in constant pain, you can't sleep because of it, and it stays like that for 2-3 days. I also know people who welded for hours wearing a t-shirt and their arms looked like they'd been at the beach for half a day.
The Hank Green JerryRigEverything crossover we never knew we needed is intentionally combusting some of that aluminum dust.
Great tour an interview. Thanks for sharing with us. A tip we don't need the random 'ok', 'yep' , 'uhhuh', during the interview.
This is great feedback thank you so much
Damn I was excited for this vid
Thank you so much 🙏🏻
