The wildest thing about being a subscriber for so long is seeing the family all grown up through the years. Edit: That outro was equal parts hilarious and the stuff of nightmares.
Yeh, I started watching whilst he was still in Ireland. And I keep watching for his inventiveness and creativity. In this episode, he discovered his camera's secret Halloween/They Live filter mode, and made an affordable VR headset. And I still love that brass wire trick. Also wondering how much fun you could have by sticking a GoPro on top of the box, facing forward, backwards, or sideways.
It's wild. I remember when friends at work got pregnant and here it is two seconds later and their kids are walking and talking. Time goes so fast when you're not looking.
It’s nice to know that all the money he makes goes to his family because it sure as hell doesn’t go to his tools lol. Love your stuff man, wish I was half as talented and creative as you!
@@Dragonrider616 i know you weren't saying it to me, but I want to thank you for being kind and positive. While I personally love some playful toxicity, the internet needs more folks like you, being supportive.
I think he says Nova's name at the beginning and end of every sentence to keep her focused. "Nova, I need you to lift a rock, Nova! NOVA, NOT THERE, NOVA! NOVA... NOVA!" She is becoming an amazing Warrior!
Whenever Nova shows up in a video I have to go back and watch that Famine Day sketch from a couple years ago. It's one of my favorite short videos on all of YT 😁
I think we need more Nova she compliments your videos hilariously! No doubt about where she gets her sense of humour, I can only imagine what an evening around your dinner table must be like 😄
The one I kept felling for is : Former friend : Hey have you seen the new goblin anime? Me : Oh? There's a new goblin anime? Nice what's the title? Former Friend Who Is Worse Than Horus : Goblin deez nuts!
So I bought a 5in grinder for myself to cut out a bracket I wanted to make for a scooter headlight. As soon as it kicked on it made me appreciate the level of finesse this man has with all the heavy machines he uses and how creative he is with his problem solving.
I guess my instructor succeeded back in the day, because watching that combination of gloves and a drillpress immediately made me recall half the shop safety lessons in a flash.
Had to comment, I showed my uncle your videos, he's an old, retired welder/plater. He has mad respect for your skills, admiring your welder handling and also learned something new, as in the vinegar-makes-rust/resin-go-away thing 😁
Gotta say, as much as I love these videos, watching them when I have an infected eye that causes me intense pain with sudden changes in light and with all that welding.. may not have been the best idea.... but that's on me....You keep on making the awesome.
omg... when I saw the trailer hitch ball being hammered into the hot metal.... I almost died laughing. I love your creative approach to problem solving.... Heh heh heh!!! I'm okay now. I'm gonna press play on the rest of the video....
I've been watching your Video's since first seeing the Giant Swords programs you made for Discovery. Your video's are excellent, the way you explain what and why you're doing binds everything together, and the length of time they last is perfect. I find It so frustrating trying to watch some TH-cam content because the video run time is so short, I just get into it and I have to wait a day for the next 12 minute episode. Bleeeurgh, it's a pain in the ass. I don't even bother watch stuff that is less than 20 minutes now, except for music video's. So, basically keep up the awesome work, you make some of the very best content on TH-cam.
I absolutely love watching Mike go through the process of making these swords. I often wonder if there is an easier way of going about the making process or does Mike just like doing it the hard way? Haha, thank you for the content Sir.
I think he's more just set in his ways. Dude has got to have the money to buy a lathe but why when he can do it his way or have someone else use their lathe.
The entire point of these videos is he make big crazy sword by just grinding/welding. A proper metal fabrication setup like CNC lathe/plasma cutter/mill would make these things 10x easier. I think there are some stuff he’d have to change though like not using hard-oxide steel since idk how CNC machines would work on that but not an expert in this area so maybe that wouldn’t be an issue…
Michael starts loosing his sanity with that camera and you can tell it around 58:33 After that is the true descent into madness with that box 💀💀💀 "oh boy"
I watched this channel, this man and his whole family grow up with time. I've been a sub since he had just a few thousand subscribers and watched almost every video. There's something magical about this channel!
When he started trying to repair electronics I almost couldn't breathe from laughter. I knew exactly how it would end. Everything in the video would be wrong, it would get smashed or set on fire somehow, and he would use tools that were thirty times too big to try to undo whatever he did. I was not disappointed. I expected him to hopelessly destroy it and have to buy a new camera, though.
Nova grew up fast. I remember when you had the show big giant swords on TV. Glad to see you haven't aged a day. Keep rockin on my guy, love your content.
I have a vision of Nova in many years, making giant swords, still using Mike's old rusty workshop, keeping everything together through spit, grit, and elbow grease, telling her own child to "Ligma balls" while Mike watches and stares approvingly from the sidelines
The camera repair (and subsequent test) section of the video is hilarious. I'm guessing the sword is also going to be amazing (as they always are) - looking forward to the next instalment.
Mike, I am a professional electronics bearded repair person, you did a really good job! That stuff isn't for amateurs. Really, you can be super proud :)
Man. I was right there with you when you were all excited about fixing the camera screen..... I love moments of victory after not knowing what I'm doing.... Lol
I'm equal parts frustrated and loving the fact Mike doesn't get a lathe. I don't know if some of the charm would be lost if Mike had access to a wider range of tools but seeing him make that handle section, my eye was twitching. Great stuff.
The one off jigs and clamps and used only to make one part is half the show , a lot would be lost I think without that , seeing him figure out how to make parts is my favorite
I followed your work from the beginning. And I love the fact u still go the extra mile on every part of the build and still with the same passion and drive as when I watched your first videos...keep it up. regards D
I never thought I'd live to see the day of live-action Minecraft, but here I am crossing it off the bucket list. Cheers for the laughs and have a champion day.
Mate, love your vegao's, also your comment about your work shop. I would give my left one for a work shop half as good and such an understanding and loving family. Love the way you solve problems and get the job done. Keep it up. Thanks
After my comment, continuing watching i got the funny feeling at a friend of mine...more live life than live of a life. Keep goofing around, its what makes a life a life
Yay I've got 3 hrs of binge worthy TH-cam because who needs notifications from the channel you're subscribed to 🤣 this is literally the only channel I rang the bell on
That is crazy about the Babesiosis. We live on MV over by Morning Glory Farms and my father got Babesiosis just a month ago. Sorry to hear about that, he said the night sweats were insane
Hey Mike, when you were trying to find the center line of that octagon bar, just connect the corners by drawing a line and you'll see dead centre of the bar
Your giggles and laughs is further solidifying the nickname I give you in conversation: Mad Mike or Crazy Mike, but that was just because you made giant swords... but now that list of reasons is getting longer
For cutting straight lines of equal depth with the grinder, mount the grinder to a flat sheet of plywood with the blade protruding through a slot you've cut. Shim the grinder to get the appropriate depth of cut. Attach a fence. Think table saw.
Here is yon link to the playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLRhlHNMR_oGeqCCjtTwbkCEd71HDhs_oU.html
So how much taller than you is Nova now?
You're truly a Jack of all trades but master of none lol
might be time to build a cage to go around the camera, that clips into the standard mount on the bottom?
That calm line of "hard to tell with it being on fire, but it looks like it's better" is just peak michaelcthulhu.
If it wasn't so many words it'd be a perfect kinda line for a t-shirt haha
@@SmoothBaracuda still is. That could fit on a t shirt if you design it right
Edit: he says this at 12:30 if anybody wanted a time stamp.
For the box at the end he could make a pyramid head case for it (I still like the idea of googly eyes better though)
The wildest thing about being a subscriber for so long is seeing the family all grown up through the years.
Edit: That outro was equal parts hilarious and the stuff of nightmares.
Nova is so tall! but I don't think we've seen his Son in a really long time. and Michael doesn't even age.

"That's not a very good place for the rock Nova."
"That's the point!"
That’s slightly better Nova, but still not good
I found it so comical watching a father say ligma balls to a kid lol.
To his own child, no less. XD
Tame by Irish standards
@@howizee The Irish have standards?
Wow, Nova is growing up so fast!
And she has her father's twisted sense of humor.
It's wild. I remember when friends at work got pregnant and here it is two seconds later and their kids are walking and talking. Time goes so fast when you're not looking.

How do you know you're not talented? Give it a try, you may surprise yourself.
Sometimes tools last a lifetime, no need to replace for something shiny
@@Hotmaildotcomz these tools already had their lifetimes, many years ago. Hence the term frankengrinder. Among other ones
Or.. you know, drugs..

"This may end in disaster...that's why we're filming it!"
Never change, Mike
I think he says Nova's name at the beginning and end of every sentence to keep her focused.
"Nova, I need you to lift a rock, Nova! NOVA, NOT THERE, NOVA! NOVA... NOVA!"
She is becoming an amazing Warrior!
"it's slightly too hot to touch..." *touch touch touch touch touch touch*
Never change, Mike
Literally every episode 🤣
My printmaking professor talking about the hot plate and the acid baths in our studio. “Don’t do this” as he places his hand on/in them.

The most scary thing I have ever seen Mike doing: he was trying to fix camera himself.
Nature facts with Michael- "Look at that lad! He's huge!" Love it.
"Big man finds huge lad in forest"
44:30 "I don't know how much of this drilling to include, it's kinda boring." Top tier dad-jokery, there.
"it'll look like a thing that some idiot filed out"

Real shit

I love that you called it “4 inches in freedom units”
Always hype when Nova shows up in Michael's videos, and yeah they're a perfect comic pair with their jokes, haha.
I feel like I could watch a whole episode of just random antics with you and Nova
Had to comment, I showed my uncle your videos, he's an old, retired welder/plater. He has mad respect for your skills, admiring your welder handling and also learned something new, as in the vinegar-makes-rust/resin-go-away thing 😁

I was laughing so damn hard at the box section. The fact that you immediately thought of that as something you had to do is just fantastic.
Loved this video. The tablet helm was hilarious
I applaud your efforts to repair a broken camera instead of throwing it out. Bravo!
Faaaaaq you can't get enough of this channel, awesome metal fabrication, electronics repair and aminal loving all in one video XD
omg... when I saw the trailer hitch ball being hammered into the hot metal.... I almost died laughing. I love your creative approach to problem solving.... Heh heh heh!!!
I'm okay now. I'm gonna press play on the rest of the video....
Anyone else notice the writing on the door? "Please keep door closed, chickens poop in workshop" 😂
I love how Nova just kicks it over at the end and looks at you "that's slightly better"

Real life 2nd person view extremely rare to find anything that isn't either 1st or 3rd person view but you managed to do it.
Every time I watch these, I can only imagine the levels of patience you have to achieve these sorts of stunning work

I have a vision of Nova in many years, making giant swords, still using Mike's old rusty workshop, keeping everything together through spit, grit, and elbow grease, telling her own child to "Ligma balls" while Mike watches and stares approvingly from the sidelines
Sipping on an obscenely large coffee cup
Every time he breaks out the jury-rigged wooden mallet I can't help but chuckle a bit
“There is ants in the box!” 😂
The clothing slowly vanishing at the end makes me laugh every time!
The camera repair (and subsequent test) section of the video is hilarious. I'm guessing the sword is also going to be amazing (as they always are) - looking forward to the next instalment.
Mike, I am a professional electronics bearded repair person, you did a really good job! That stuff isn't for amateurs.
Really, you can be super proud :)
Box head made my day. Please more of that.
Imagine having Mike as your dad, I'd be like "yup, I have the coolest dad ever"
I love it when you include your random animal encounter, and that you take care of every animal, I'm a huge animal lover myself
38:11 what a beautiful moth ☺️
Man. I was right there with you when you were all excited about fixing the camera screen..... I love moments of victory after not knowing what I'm doing.... Lol
