I love this and…..it so hilarious to see John sweating and nervous like a little school girl! Jocko is amazing human being and I’m glad you guys were able to pull this off!
I have to say... my favorite part was John being so completely tongue tied and nervous when he meets Jocko. My 11-year-old looked EXACTLY the same when he got to meet John Cena. Exactly the same look and almost exactly the same ability to speak and think. You have to laugh when you realize even the biggest guy has someone that can make them turn into a little boy. You just have to love when guys of any age meet their hero/idol/mentor - it's a truly honest moment. Great stuff... and a great project. Thanks for sharing.
In a word: GOOD. Awesome build! I love how Jocko responded to you... "Your books changed our lives"-- "YOU changed your lives". Humble to the core. And I thought I couldn't love your channel any more!
You've both got such personality in front of the camera. It's really cool to see you guys humble, stumble and fumble your words when you meet him. You can see the genuine appreciation. Cool project guys.
Argggh, as George Costanza would say, "My UA-cam worlds are colliding!" John looked about as nervous as a kid asking out his first date - lol. GREAT build guys, Jocko was genuinely impressed.
Coming from a veteran that loves his country and loves what you do for the veterans, thank you brother! You really make me realize that people have not forgotten about us! Jocko and Matt are great people and they deserve to be put at the forefront!
I love that although these guys have a tendency to arse something up in their projects, they always find some way to make it right, no matter how huge the mistake. Gotta praise that resiliency.
These guitars are coming out better and better. My recommendation for next on your list is Adam Savage. Maybe not a guitar, but hell, why not. A resin guitar filled with miniatures of films he’s worked on, or pieces of old “artifacts” from Mythbusters. He’s impacted so many people, myself included, with his films, his shows, and his UA-cam series. He’s the reason why I am not afraid to dive head first into any type of project in front of me. Keep up the great work!
I hope this doesn’t sound stupid, but you asked for ideas so here it goes. My best friend and I were in the Marines together, we deployed twice together. I got out a few years ago, but he became an Army officer. He recently was deployed to Afghanistan but had to come home early due to his mothers passing. I really want to do something nice for him. I was thinking about a coffee table shadow box. Wondering if you could do some plans with that Malecki flare we know and love.
Woouuw. See a big man babbling like a nervous wreck Show me as a german who don't know s... about Jocko, what kind of guy he is... Fun to watch and i really love to see John hug Jordan...
Little nervous there John? I'd be the same way it was actually really cool and felt very genuine seeing that interaction. Completely awesome y'all got this opportunity.
Exactly and all the pressure of having single piece of material to work on. How about a John Malecki tool bag collection with all your catchy tag lines and witty captions... hahahaha. Thank you
Dude, Jocko looks like he was practicing beating the crap out of you in his mind when you first met. Very intimidating man. This was one of my favorite videos.
Sam and John have loads of experience talking to the camera and to fans and teaching people how to do things in the maker world and John's probably had his fair share of fans coming up to him doing the "stuttery/scared/nerves/this is my all time idle" voice from when he played football, but it's so cool how they both go straight into that scared little fan mode that must be built into our DNA or something. The reason I think it was cool is that it shows that no matter who you are and what your life experience is, there is always this little person inside you that has a pin up poster of this awesome hero that they would do anything to meet. You guys rock!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I love all you guys and you always make me laugh out loud! I loved seeing the humanity John shows when talking to Jocko, I can relate to that nervous energy. you were great in that moment!!
You guys are awesome. Your willingness to try things that you have never done with irreplaceable materials for an idol, is beyond inspirational. You guys , definitely, “punched today in the face”. Well done, and thanks for the motivation!
The most likely reason for the one particular layer of resin not hardening is probably because it wasn't mixed or ratio'd properly. Also, when doing multiple layers like that, instead of waiting until the prior layer fully cures and then scuffing it, it's actually better/easier to pour the next layer when the prior layer is still tacky. Better adhesion between the layers and you won't end up with lines.
Epic. Jocko is everything you’ve said to many, great job passing it forward. The craftsmanship in this work is fantastic. The build, idea, workmanship and delivery are the bomb. Bravo Zulu.
Adam Savage has been the person I’ve looked up to sense I was a little kid he’s inspired me to be a maker and not be afraid to mess up because messing up is just learning.
Screwed up our epoxy pour?!?! GOOD, now we’re gonna get a chance to try again and be better😅 Awesome job guys! Enjoyed the video and build! Awesome to see a legendary build for a legendary man🇺🇸
When laminating epoxy, it's best to scuff the top of the layer that you are pouring onto. This gives the epoxy something to bond to and should help prevent delamination.
Absolutely legendary video guys. Super Pumped you got to meet him. Great work as usual. Side note, this UA-cam Channel is mostly responsible for my decreased productivity while working at home. Keep up the good work boys.
Hey John, 4x worlds strongest man Brian Shaw would be a great candidate to collaborate with. The guy is full of positivity and is making big things happen. I think that would be awesome to see you guys work together on something
That was awesome!!!! I’ve never heard of Jocko before but now I am going to check his stuff out!! This is so cool!!! Above and beyond as always guys!!! Big inspiration!!
John that was a killer guitar. My own personal hero is Alex O'Loughlin from the show Hawaii Five 0. He's an Australian actor who played Steve McGarrett on the show. He is an absolutely beautiful human being who has done loads of charity work for the American Donors, Blood drive, ALS to name but a few. He has started a diving company with some Navy SEALs that he actually trained with every year for this role. He always has time for his fans as he has stated on many occasions "without them I wouldn't have a paycheck!" He also has raised so much money for the local hospital on Oahu by holding Womens self defense classes with his BJJ trainer Egan. It would be fantastic if you were able to do a guitar for him as he's a guitarist as well. Maybe using police badges in the epoxy or anything else that comes to mind. His wife is Malia Jones the surfer!
Nothing to do with off-gassing, resin will set underwater if mixed in the correct ratios. The problem is you did not mix all of the separate layers to the same ratios and would not have used enough hardener and it will take quite a bit of heat to force it to cure, you could put it in an oven at 60°c for a few hours and it may force a full cure. Also if you allow the resin to get too cold during the cure it can stall and never go beyond the rubbery phase.
I didn't feel that Jocko was very impressed. They went out of their way to build this guitar for him and the man barely cracks a smile. I don't care if you're a badass. You don't have to be a badass all the time. There's always somebody better than you. John and Sam were the better people here. My opinion, we all have one.
Absolutely badass gents!!! Next you guys should make a military retirement gift for a random service member!!! Too many guys get "just ok gifts" for their retirement. I've made a bunch of custom gifts for guys. It always great seeing a service member light up to something hand made just for them!!! If you guys need idea's let me know??? Im a former Green Beret and my goal is to become a full time maker. I love your content!!!
Jocko is a legend. What a great person to do something for. This man has just about gave it all for his country and us! For all u youngsters out there that look up to all these movie stars and politicians……. (Lol) as role models, well kiddos this is one you should look up to. Great work guys. Love this channel!
Awesome build guys. it’s cool to see all my favorite content creators coming together, I know rogan mentioned putting snoops roaches in resin and jocko was just on his podcast, that would be great.
Congratulations boys on this project. Awesome video. Really love how it turns out. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Keep making. Stay squirrely. God bless.
Love your videos guys! Everyone is hilarious! I would write a whole paragraph about my sister but I’ll just say she’s amazing and deserves something special!
Dude - such a cool idea! Jocko is one of the all time greats, 100%. If you guys know Jocko, I'd like to think you know Jordan B. Peterson as well (if you don't, look him up - same kind of life-changing content, incredible). JBP did a lecture where he discusses the idea that everything you do, from the small things to the big things has a larger impact than you expect. And thats because "you're a node, in a network". He says "You know a thousand people...That means that you're one person away from a million people and two persons away from a billion people. And you're the center of that network." My idea for the last 6 months or so is the make picture frame, using the lichtenberg wood burning technique, filled with epoxy to represent his idea. Then print off a copy of his '12 Rules for Life' and send it to him in the frame. As a representation of the massive impact he has on my own life as well as the millions of others by being a node in his network...My only hang has been that the Lichtenberg technique is crazy intimidating, and I haven't been able to pull the trigger on it yet.
Outstanding job on the guitar guys. John i was going to say if you send me the Weaver stuff I would gladly do any and all your leather needs. However you did an amazing job with the case. Again out standing work boys.
Totally dope project guys. My only recommendation might be to get back to doing the projects for local Veterans. Can't wait to see the next one boys. Let's Go!
I love this and…..it so hilarious to see John sweating and nervous like a little school girl! Jocko is amazing human being and I’m glad you guys were able to pull this off!
Right! He’s so nervous lol
He legit got nervous when Jocko said, "what are you doing talking to my daughter". Can't say I blame him haha. Great pieces, great video.
how awesome is that, when Jocko said, "you changed your lives" when John talked about the books changing their lives. epic
Love the little shivers in Johns voice talking to Jocko. Beautiful build guys!
I have to say... my favorite part was John being so completely tongue tied and nervous when he meets Jocko. My 11-year-old looked EXACTLY the same when he got to meet John Cena. Exactly the same look and almost exactly the same ability to speak and think. You have to laugh when you realize even the biggest guy has someone that can make them turn into a little boy. You just have to love when guys of any age meet their hero/idol/mentor - it's a truly honest moment.
Great stuff... and a great project. Thanks for sharing.
The fact that Jocko is looking up to talk to John is wild… guys a monster
In a word: GOOD.
Awesome build! I love how Jocko responded to you... "Your books changed our lives"-- "YOU changed your lives". Humble to the core.
And I thought I couldn't love your channel any more!
You've both got such personality in front of the camera. It's really cool to see you guys humble, stumble and fumble your words when you meet him. You can see the genuine appreciation. Cool project guys.
6:50 "Jordan did a great job", nice! That should be the next shirt design.
I like it
Argggh, as George Costanza would say, "My UA-cam worlds are colliding!" John looked about as nervous as a kid asking out his first date - lol. GREAT build guys, Jocko was genuinely impressed.
Coming from a veteran that loves his country and loves what you do for the veterans, thank you brother! You really make me realize that people have not forgotten about us! Jocko and Matt are great people and they deserve to be put at the forefront!
Everyone gonna get caught up in the reveal and miss Jordan getting complimented at 6:50. Good work Jordan!
But also, super fun to see John fangirling.
I believe it was Opposite Day that day in the shop. But thank you! I was very nervous
I’ve never heard John display so much respect in my life. 😂😂😂
I love that although these guys have a tendency to arse something up in their projects, they always find some way to make it right, no matter how huge the mistake. Gotta praise that resiliency.

1up the vote for Adam Savage, he loves creator to creator gifts and I think that would be an awesome collaboration.
hell yea

I have never heard of Joko, but it was fun watching John be so nervous talking to him! lol
Woouuw. See a big man babbling like a nervous wreck Show me as a german who don't know s... about Jocko, what kind of guy he is...
Fun to watch and i really love to see John hug Jordan...
Proud father son moment
Little nervous there John? I'd be the same way it was actually really cool and felt very genuine seeing that interaction. Completely awesome y'all got this opportunity.
Completely awesome to do something like that for an American hero.... I like the respect you all paid him, and how humble he is...
Shout out to the Stout Squad: Warren, Logan, Mike and everyone else! Love them all!
Great project.
Im sooo impressed that john managed to sew a nice leather case and it looks so well made
Its an 8ft leather bag.... haha
Exactly and all the pressure of having single piece of material to work on. How about a John Malecki tool bag collection with all your catchy tag lines and witty captions... hahahaha. Thank you
Dude, Jocko looks like he was practicing beating the crap out of you in his mind when you first met. Very intimidating man. This was one of my favorite videos.
Huge Jocko and John Malecki and Co. fan here. Thanks for your work too John, Sam, and Jordan
Sam and John have loads of experience talking to the camera and to fans and teaching people how to do things in the maker world and John's probably had his fair share of fans coming up to him doing the "stuttery/scared/nerves/this is my all time idle" voice from when he played football, but it's so cool how they both go straight into that scared little fan mode that must be built into our DNA or something.

I love all you guys and you always make me laugh out loud! I loved seeing the humanity John shows when talking to Jocko, I can relate to that nervous energy. you were great in that moment!!
John Malecki getting nervous around Jocko Willick, and he's like taller than Willick. Genuine appreciation and respect.
Let’s goooo!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
its heartwarming to see a giant so flustered.
It's so wholesome how star struck John gets around people
You guys were like little kids talking to your hero and I know that feeling all too well!
You guys are awesome. Your willingness to try things that you have never done with irreplaceable materials for an idol, is beyond inspirational. You guys , definitely, “punched today in the face”. Well done, and thanks for the motivation!
Seeing you nervous shows how much you respect and admire Jacko. That was cool.
there is one good thing about the material, you can see where you are drilling and you can see straight away whether it is going to be good or bad 😉

Jordan got a hug today!
Jordan cried that day too
David Goggins man, that dude changed my whole outlook on life.
Same here man. Can’t hurt ME!
I love how nervous John gets when he's talking to his idol🤣
Very cool project. It was cool seeing the genuine reaction to meeting someone you idolize.
This is incredible! I am a huge fan of yours, John, and a huge fan of Jocko too! This is a meeting of two worlds and I love it!
A great video, as always. Thank you John and the team!
Three of my favorite things: guitar, woodworking and Jocko. Fuck yes!
How cool is that. Jocko is awesome. Glad he liked the guitar. Extreme Ownership is a book every leader should read.
Jordan sure is moving on up .
Adam Savage has been the person I’ve looked up to sense I was a little kid he’s inspired me to be a maker and not be afraid to mess up because messing up is just learning.
Last build in the old shop. Good times. Nice work fellas.
Screwed up our epoxy pour?!?! GOOD, now we’re gonna get a chance to try again and be better😅 Awesome job guys! Enjoyed the video and build! Awesome to see a legendary build for a legendary man🇺🇸
When laminating epoxy, it's best to scuff the top of the layer that you are pouring onto. This gives the epoxy something to bond to and should help prevent delamination.
Thats what they did...
that was so awesome! Jocko is rad! John, Sam & Jordan yall are killin it. You inspire me to do more!!!! Maybe one day we can collab.
I’m free tomorrow
Absolutely legendary video guys. Super Pumped you got to meet him. Great work as usual. Side note, this UA-cam Channel is mostly responsible for my decreased productivity while working at home. Keep up the good work boys.
Hey John, 4x worlds strongest man Brian Shaw would be a great candidate to collaborate with. The guy is full of positivity and is making big things happen. I think that would be awesome to see you guys work together on something
One of your better projects guys! Aboslutely ♥️ it!
That was awesome!!!! I’ve never heard of Jocko before but now I am going to check his stuff out!! This is so cool!!! Above and beyond as always guys!!! Big inspiration!!
You guys should do one for Gary sinise. That guy has done a ton for us veterans.
"Jordan did a great job" - am I even watching John Malecki anymore?
Anyone else notice Johns voice got deeper when he met Jocko
This is amazing man
Do a bass guitar for Mark Hoppus of Blink 182. He just beat cancer and has changed some many lives with his music.
Legend has it Jocko wake's up the morning
John that was a killer guitar. My own personal hero is Alex O'Loughlin from the show Hawaii Five 0. He's an Australian actor who played Steve McGarrett on the show.

I love Jocko! Dude needs to run for president! Not kidding!!
Favorite video so far!! Keep it up guys!

You don't have to be a badass all the time. There's always somebody better than you. John and Sam were the better people here. My opinion, we all have one.
Brought a happy tear to my eye seeing this, hell yeah 👍
Absolutely badass gents!!! Next you guys should make a military retirement gift for a random service member!!! Too many guys get "just ok gifts" for their retirement.

Im a former Green Beret and my goal is to become a full time maker. I love your content!!!
Terrific build. I love the content and it’s awesome to see you guys put yourselves out there like that.
Love this build and idealize Jocko as well. Man y’all should make an epoxy wine glass with Jets gear for Gary Vee!
Very cool. Good job guys!
Couple days after Jocko was on Rogans show... perfect timing 🤟 love Jocko. Good job!
Jocko is a legend. What a great person to do something for. This man has just about gave it all for his country and us! For all u youngsters out there that look up to all these movie stars and politicians……. (Lol) as role models, well kiddos this is one you should look up to.
Great work guys. Love this channel!
Eddie would be proud!!! Well done guys!!!!
Heck Yea!
Awesome build guys. it’s cool to see all my favorite content creators coming together, I know rogan mentioned putting snoops roaches in resin and jocko was just on his podcast, that would be great.
You guys should do a nckon guitar for John dudley
Jocko is the man 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 great team up
Now this is a cool collab
This is amazing! Y'all killed it!
👏- Next celebrity project - custom hangboard for Alex Honnold 👍
Jocko for the win. the guitar turned out amazing guys! 👏
Congratulations boys on this project. Awesome video. Really love how it turns out. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Keep making. Stay squirrely. God bless.
Love your videos guys! Everyone is hilarious! I would write a whole paragraph about my sister but I’ll just say she’s amazing and deserves something special!
Awesome build. Love this channel. I learn tons from y'all.
Look at john fangirling how cute
Dude - such a cool idea! Jocko is one of the all time greats, 100%.

John + Jocko = Badassery 👌
I appreciate that you don’t call it a “bully guitar” or “black belt guitar” instead of an Epoxy _____ with ______ in it
It's cool that even you get nervous meeting one of your idols
Outstanding job on the guitar guys. John i was going to say if you send me the Weaver stuff I would gladly do any and all your leather needs. However you did an amazing job with the case. Again out standing work boys.
Cool looking. Would putting a sealed tube in the position of the wires needed work ?
Good idea
Glad to you're on the Carnivore Diet too John. I lost 50 lbs in 3 months and haven't felt better in my 53 years. Keep up the great work 👍
Do David Goggins and build him a BOAT.
WHO'S GOING TO CARRY THE BOATS!?!?!
Hi John, great video as always. Just a quick question, why did you use a wooden mold instead of silicone one (like the last guitar)?
Love this so much!
Good job!!
Do a Cajun Two Step Logo sign in epoxy for Stalecracker. Maybe backlight the epoxy. Lets get it dude!
How about casting the belts first and let cure. Then cast the backside and when aired out, lay in the belt casting and pour on the top casting.
FANTASTIC work, guys! It turned out amazing! 😃
Really well done!!!
Stay safe there with your families! 🖖😊
Totally dope project guys. My only recommendation might be to get back to doing the projects for local Veterans. Can't wait to see the next one boys. Let's Go!
Awesome where they put “GOOD” on the head.
