    I am always impressed with your ingenuity. I'm sitting here thinking "how the hell is he gonna turn a flat disc into a spider? You're truly an artist. Well done.

      I was expecting him to sink two half-spheres and weld them together. Would’ve avoided the math. :) It’s not something I have the skills to do, but it can be done.

    Thank you for knowing how to balance audio, and for actually doing so. So many "industrial" channels don't even out the audio and I end up giving up on watching the videos just so I don't go insane from having to constantly turn the volume up and down.

    Should've added a red thick line on its back to make it look like a giant Redback Spider. Great work man.

    I was very pleasantly surprised by what I though would be a boring video. Seeing you build an orb out of a rusty old drum lid was amazing, and then you hand-forged the solid metal legs! The unpainted version was a work of art. It was almost a shame to see you paint it. Thanks for sharing this.

  • @mirokokos3617

    Very well thought out & executed. Top marks. Had a grin on my face from start to finish. You also nearly gave me a heart attach at the start btw!!!!..lying in bed, earphones on, half asleep.....and you scream having found the big spider in the woods!!!...I nearly fell out of the bed such was the fright lol.... Wonderful editorial and content. Quite a talent both on front of & behind the camera. Good man. Well done.

    Awesome build aside, even just making the dish for dishing the sheet metal was a cool build in and of itself.
    Wish I could click the thumbs up more than once when there's more than one reason for liking a video!

    Damn you! I had to pause on the math page, then google spherical tiling of an icosahedron and learn. A 20 minute video became a 2 hour tour in 3D math. I love you.
    Now I need to learn a cool craft, create a youtube channel and get famous enough to get an invite to your forge. :D

    When once there was a spiderweb in our balcony, me and one of our sons threw in a dead bug into web. There was no spider to be seen, but it rushed from the corner faster than Usain Bolt to spit and web the bug! We both went WOW! Great ordeal, and just subbed btw. Hälsningar från Finnland.

    We have spiders like that in Western Australia. They have a red stripe, and the common name is *_Redback Spider._* When I was a kid, and outside toilets were a regular feature in the 1950's, we always had to check under the _dunny seat_ so we wouldn't die a horrible death . . .

      Don't you guys also have one that can bite through a toenail? I think it's called a mouse spider.

    • @BrassLock
      @BrassLock 6 років тому +8

      +@@blargkliggle1121: Although the three subspecies of mouse spiders are widely distributed across Australia, I haven't been much concerned about them because they are more _"popular"_ in Northern Territory and the Eastern States. Thus I couldn't answer your question, but a quick look at the Medical Journal of Australia reveals that of the 40 bites definitely diagnosed as from that type of spider up to about 2004, only one bite of a young child required anti-venom treatment, and observed for 4 hours to ensure recovery. None mentioned any case of traumatic (physical) injury such as you described. No nightmares necessary 😨 after all, the children can go to sleep (fairly) safely.
