*"Local Swedish woman found dead in the park after running with scissors"*
And they do say not to run with all those other tools... as well as sharp sticks.

Simone's preparing for the most extreme game of Rock, Paper, Scissors
Alex_id ooooooooh I’m in
@@simonegiertz Now I'm imagining a stadium full of people watching a Rock, Paper, Scissors match with these giant props. I think that's a sport I could really get behind!
Now I want to see the (similarly sized) rock...
paper, scissors and dwayne the rock johnson
@@CptWindwalker82 Big enough to throw and break to death these GIANT SCISSORS..
We're going to check back in like five years and her shop is going to look like it's straight out of the The Secret World of Arrietty or The Borrowers.
I honestly wouldn't be mad at that. I loved the Borrowers as a kid!!
Seeing a smol Simone run around with giant scissors made my entire year
She's not even small that's the hilarious part 😂
2:05: "Also I realise that I can't get into like, any cool clubs, but I can get free admission to some local science museums"
You have a plasma cutter now, you can get into anywhere you want!
Technically she still needs a 220V generator, fuel and a portable air compressor before she can get into anywhere she wants. Maybe she could do a project on the road and a sponsor will donate that stuff? Then nothing will stand in her way!!! (Insert evil laugh)
Some
@@jensimaster She could use an inverter on the Tesla though the 12V DC to DC convertor in the car would be a limiting factor probably could get 2 or 3KW out of it for a short time if everything else in the car was turned off.
There's also tapping into the HV DC directly from the battery and you have hundreds of KW to play with but that's really dangerous.
For me Museums > cool clubs

I think it's a scale issue. If you had giant paper it would cut just fine. However, giant rock would still prevail.
Like play actual paper, rock, scissors? The hardest part are the scissors.
Ryan Langan The word you’re looking for is Boulder
@@theXEN0KID No. There's nothing humorous about a boulder. Giant rock keeps the theme with giant scissors.
not really, scissors are usually a bit bent so the link point makes spring like forces, which makes more friction between blades.
Kris Avi Interesting. Thanks for sharing
I don't know If you tried this, but scissors don't have straight blades. The shears curve inward towards each other creating a pinch point that moves forward as you close them. This eliminates slop and negates the need to have perfectly matching edges. You can see it if you align the cut with a light source and close them slowly. So maybe curving the shears a bit inwards may help.
That was the first thing I thought of, 9 months too late. I just found this channel and think it's pretty cool.
6:20 there 'Mera Mig!' sounds like 'Mirame!' wich in spanish means 'Look at me!' at it's funny because it also makes sense in that context
Yeah, my first thought was "Look at me," and I didn't even realize I was using my Spanish brain.
Plot twist: It's just a tiny Simone
=:oD
soon: Simone starring in the upcoming "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids 3" in which she'll star as the mad scientist who once again shrank someone's kids ;)
It would be easier to just make big scissors than to shrink yourself down.
Gave you your 501st like
ENJOY my dear sir or madame
That would be too cute tbh
Rent them out to mayors that are also bodybuilders to open buildings and stuff.
Hey, I know one!
Great idea!
Kyiv got one!
Yes!
Good idea!
This is so great.
hi cody
When you approached the duck pond I was kinda expecting "now we're gonna try cutting some ducks"
Same. Was worried for the ducks.
You're allowed to run with swords because if you have a sword then often there is also someone else with a sword and the danger from your own is relatively low in the context.
I like to think that it’s not actually a fight but you’re actually running away from the other guy
That's actually an excellent point
Having wooden scissors cutting paper is like turning trees against themselves! Great work!
They're literally the most populated biomass on Earth, it'll be a civil war to the numbers no one had ever seen
Bobby Duke Arts does some cool stuff making wooden knives that can cut paper
@@thelastcube. Psssh fuck'em. What have trees ever done for us!?
The civil tree war has been going for a while. I remember a table saw with a paper blade, used to cut wood, for example (look up "Can paper cut wood?" here on youtube)
zombie tree war
"nobody's saying don't run with knives"
clearly you've never been in scouts
Yeah, that was a common rule in my house. I guess my parents thought I was smart enough to be trusted with pointy objects but dumb enough to need to be told not to run with them
Yeah it’s like the first rule...
and always say thank you when you receive a sharp object from someone so they know you have a good hold on it... SO MANY RULZ, no matter we burned shit every chance we could in Scouts!
I have told so many of my scouts not to run with knives. Or axes. Or any sharp objects.
A few folks have mentioned the curvature of scissor blades, but also a large aspect of how they work is the left/right pressure of your fingers, which is why there are lefty and righty scissors, even though they basically look the same. The natural way your hand closes the grips is what pushes the blades together.
Maybe you can sell or donate these to a salon as a decoration!
This has the same energy as Jenna Marbles turning herself into a toothbrush.
I kind of want to see them work together
YES
@neaZy couldn't agree more
I WANT THEM TO COLLAB.
Jenna's "Too Much" Gene and Simone's "I just gotta" energy....
just *chef kiss*
Neko Tan no please, look at that Clueless Mug!
I don't know why, but the idea of putting a boxing glove on the tip of the hanging scissor for safety makes me laugh inside.
Hahahaha yes oh my glob most underrated comment ever
@@justinelilly4827 Whoa! I'd like to see that!
Never thought that I would see you here
Yeah, they're up against a wall, so the danger isn't immense, but if it was my shop, I'd find an amusing cover (and I think boxing gloves sound about right) so that stumbling around didn't lead to unintentional spearing...
I really appreciate
1. that you admit your failures/weaknesses.
2. your commitment to running with the scissors.
3. that the scissors are indestructible. They are zombie apocalypse-worthy!

I was waiting for a kill la kill comment
Yes.
I was waiting for a kill la kill reference
San Francisco: "Simone, we would like to give you a key to the city..."
Simone: "Hold my beer."
She should take these to grand openings and cut the ribbon with it is that a thing people still do
@@kuro13wolf That would be cool
Thats.... not how the meme works
As a dad, I approve of your scissors joke. It was shear brilliance. Truly, you have a sharp wit. I’m glad you decided not to cut that part out.
god, that was three in a row :(
Just like Simone with her scissors, you really ran with that
This comment was a cut above the rest.
sadlerbw9 just take my like and leave...
*slinks away to torment his kids with terrible puns*
simone beating up the handle and “making no progress” is literally teenage life
This is just the giant, very drawn out and maker’s version of “I need scissors to open the new scissors”
Omg that LITERALLY happened to me TODAY. I moved countries and didn't bring anything with me other than my clothes and toiletries. I rented a completely empty apartment (not even a fridge, nothing) and had to furnish it from scratch. Naturally, I bought a lot of things, like tools and kitchen utensils, that came in tightly sealed packages, so I also bought scissors. I had to ask my neighbor, whom I hadn't met yet, for her scissors in order to open my own scissors. The new scissors even had a "cut through here WITH SCISSORS to open" little icon on the package. Ridiculous! 🤦🏻♀️
Watching your tools slowly crawl towards the edge of your work bench during the time lapse gave me great anxiety
I'm pleased that the parts where they fell onto the floor was edited out.
Me too.
I feel like you missed an opportunity to place them in an elevator and calling it your scissor-lift.
This channel is a cut above the rest! You definitely have an edge over your competition. I hope all your videos are just as sharp. :P
runs over the ducks with giant scissors and yelled them:
"hi ducks"
with soft, pretty sound.
“he says he likes my scissors” aww you’re so cute❤️
I don't even have to watch it to know is going to be amazing
I bet he says that to all the folks with a monster pair of scissors in the park.
''Simone starts hammering'' ''Oh my god, my neighbours are gonna hate me'' (Me thinking: Didn't sound that bad) ''One split second later: *BAM BAM BAM BAM!''*
BAAAAAAAAAAAAM
I laughed at how even the small halfhearted blows were super loud...
Ya neeg to aneil i think thats how ya spell it but ya throw a flame on it and put a layer of soot on the metal and it does science-ee sruff and softens the metal. I know a little late and i just know cause i saw jesse james do it. But your scissors are AWESOME

Simone: "I feel like I'm making zero progress"
Simone: * makes visible progress *

Then you can make a gigant paper, then make gigant origami, The posibilities are infinite!
Giant origami would be awesome!
*_Will the fantastic thing about origami is not using any scissors 🤦♂️_*
and a giant rock
I thought you were gonna say giant paper and then a giant rock for the ultimate rock paper scissors!
You don't cut the paper to make origami. "Origami" ("折り紙") means "folded paper" in Japanese. No cuts, no buts, no coconuts!
This video is some of TH-cam’s most cutting edge content.
: )
Slater not really... boredom hit me like a.... rock
Thats one sharp comment.... :)
Your comment made me wanna wrap u in paper, vio vjosa
Get out
Make me :P
Omfg, I love that you empathize with the plight of scissors to the point of taking them for a run!
Also, cold working steel is no joke, nice job -- and great final product
Did your impact driver fall?!?! The suspense is killing me 5:29
Right after it disappears off the edge of the table, you can see it on the right side, so I'm assuming she caught it before it fell and moved it? But then again, maybe she just picked it up post-fall...
With a pair of scissors -- real scissors -- the two blades are actually slightly curved toward each other. This ensures that the two shearing edges actually make contact with each other down the full length of the cut. If your two shearing edges are separated by a hair's breadth, that will probably be enough to prevent a shear. Even if your two shearing edges have contact initially, but lose that contact later during the shear, then the complete shear down the full length of the paper will fail. That's why the two blades are bent slightly toward each other: it guarantees blade-against-blade contact down the full length of the shear.
It also keeps the cutting faces grinding on each other, hence the self-sharpening nature of scissors.
Was going to say this but you saved the trouble!
yeah simone should have talked to a scissors engineer before making this!!
She tried her best on this and i dont think it really matters that much, it was probably just for laughs and giggles, dont be too hard on her.
@@misterhughdjass7880 Don't think he was criticizing her in any way, he was just pointing something out and it's educational for all of us.
Mom: "what'd you do for Easter?"
Me: "oh watched a grown women make a giant pair of scissors...and yes I enjoyed it."
woman*
@@jddanlog1565 she's actually three (1/3 third size) women in a trench coat, wearing ordinary clothes.
guy in the bike path: "NiCe ScISsOrs"
Scissors have a slight curve built into the blades so that when they are being closed there is is side force applied to keep the blades in close contact with each other.
*sees the thumbnail* "simone… why"
*watches the video* " because.... ummm.."
"oh yeah, duh"
I don't care why, just bring it on :D
Because reasons
Scissors aren’t flat. They have curved faces so there is always tension and they always make contact with each blade at a point that moves down the blade as you cut. So if you can put a small curve on each blade it will work, but not so much that you can’t overcome the bend when you close them. And since they are 1/2 in thick steel, the problem is that you won’t be strong enough to open or close them maybe. Unless you build a hydraulic piston hand, which you should do.
Or just have a wave spring washer at the center, so the deflection is not in the blade but in the joint
I was thinking the same thing and as a blacksmith of course I want fire fire fire so heat the inside of each blade with big OxyPropane rosebud (maybe just a couple hundred degrees, and then hit it with a hose and it'll warp into a nice curve. Or hydraulic press, cuz we all know life is better with hydraulics,,, but then again fire FIRE FIRE!!
Wow this is cool!
You should start a circumcision company for giants
R/cursedcomments
Why not for non-giants as well. Ha ha
Roses are red
Violets are violet
Some people should
For gods sake stay quiet
LMAO I was disappointed not ONE of Simone's fans have made a lesbian joke yet (scissoring), but this was better. xD
lmao bc she's in SF I thought you meant the Giants baseball team for like half a second....
Now you gotta slowly chase orphans around a clock tower dressed as Angus Young.
Remember that time Mythbusters folded in half like 12+ times a big damn sheet of paper?
Yeah you should cut that
I was thinking just that!!
My brother has a legit scar where he almost stabbed his eye by running with scissors.... Well actually he didn't just run with them he tripped with them. So run with scissors, just don't trip with scissors while they are pointed at your eye.
5:28 watching the drill gradually slide towards the edge of the table:
*anxiety increases*
Simone,
Sharpening scissors is a next level skill that even most knife makers do not have. The two inside surfaces must be super flat and in direct contact with each other. This is just as important as the edge of each blade being sharp itself.
Simone: In this horror movie, we might be the monster
Simone: Hi ducks!
Me: Oh god.
I loved the disparate vibes of those comments too, just so completely juxtaposed. 😂
imagine if it would have been swans
@@midnightmushrooms1141 Yeah then the ducks would have been cut up about not being in the video.
Ha you are back. And more beautiful, strong and, goofy as ever. We love you Simone.
8:07 Coolest welding helmet ever!
Simone just wants to become a Borrower at this point
I'm honestly stunned Simone hasn't entered the Kinetic Sculpture Grand Championship up in NorCal (Humboldt County), her and her team would destroy the competition.
Based on the level of functionality of many of Simone's previous robots, I suspect "destroy the competition" might be a bit too literally close to the truth... LOL
@@nairbvel Ah, but "destroying the competition" and "winning" aren't mutually exclusive! Simone's out here playing a different game where destruction is the only goal
Her work is a cut above the rest.
ive noticed that the blades on my good scissors arent flat, but curved
so as they cut, they are pressing into each other like 2 springs
Bingo - everyone thinks they understand how scissors work but that's the real secret.
Yup, I had a pair of scissors I had to fix after I bent the blades straight by accident.
Putting a bend into the thick steel used in these Giant Scissors would be quite a challenge with the shop tools she has.
@@station240 no it would be quite easy.. Oxy torch and heating on the right spots
There’s one more secret to how scissors work that has to do with right or left handedness. Simone’s giant scissors are lefties😀
When you cut with a pair of scissors the natural motion of your thumb moves down and towards the center of your body which in turn levers the lower blade up and away from the center of your body.
dragging those things around, she looks like an anime protagonist that starts the series with zero ability but gets given the most OP weapon that they dont know how to controll yet, and by the end they kill a god and/or demon king
So I am an elementary art teacher and am going to try to make a version of these to demo scissor expectations to my 1st graders! Plus… they will look so cool hanging in my classroom!! Mine will have to weigh MUCH less of course just so I can use them in the demo without being crushed by them. Too traumatic for littles I thing! LOL! Thanks so much for a great entertaining video.
"But nobody's saying 'Don't run with knives.'"
Because you run faster with a knife.
Everybody runs faster with a knife. *scoffs*
Nothin like the rush of huntin people down and KILLIN EM!
Rush b?
This isn't the killing house anymore. This is real life.
Ohhhhh... And scissors are two knives stuck together, which means you'll run twice as faster.
classic fps_doug!
you should collab with jenna’s rachet salon.
Yaassssss
YES
Oh HELL YEAH!!
DerpyPigeon
Hell yeaahhh
omg i would LIVE
She's so adorable and awesome. Keep kicking ass, Simone!
“The reasons are thin for this one y’all” 😂😂
Doesn’t matter now it’s on the wall, but you can improve the cut by making the blades curve slightly concave towards each other, with the idea of always having one point in contact.
they do already?
Yep
Watching everything slowly move closer to the edge as you hit the metal was hilarious
I was waiting anxiously for the drill to fall from the table 😱
but then it didn't :(
"I realise I can't get into any cool clubs" -- you can if you have the tools and equipment to go through the walls :)
Talk about cutting-edge technology :D
I'll show myself out now
Me: Oh cool Simone is making giant scissors
Simone : *proceeds to run around in a park with a deadly weapon*
Simone pls make a safety cover for those scissors before somebody gets impaled
Thanks,
A v v concerned friend
Yeah I'm literally envisioning someone stumbling on the first step going up the stairs. Stay safe?
At least the points are facing *down* the stairs?
Jeff NME I thought that 😂 if they were facing the other way and some one fell down the stairs! 🙈
Pls
this is the comment i was looking for
"I cant find the scissors again" "They aren't in the drawer" "Where did they go?"
The running-with-scissors outdoor scenes at the park reminded me of the classic "Benny Hill Show". His British show had a lot of scenes with people running, filmed with a sped up camera. There wasn't any dialog but a fast paced theme melody played throughout.
Scissors have a slight inward curve to them
So that they focus the interface to a single point as the blades cross. Scissors cut because of this curve more than the sharpness of the blades. Take a close look at scissors and how they work and you will see what i am talking about
Indeed. Is this not common knowledge?
L Etten I don’t know if it is or not, but I did not see her accounting for this in the build, and I think it may be why they are not cutting as well as expected
Please add - Do not run with a Plasma Cutter.
You need a license to run with those in public.
Simone: Why don’t they tell you not to run with knives?
Also Simone, two seconds earlier: Scissors are the first tool you get to use as a child.
SIMONE YOU ANSWERED YOUR OWN QUESTION
I discovered your channel for the first time yesterday and I'm obsessed! My family and I are binge-watching your vids!!! Thank you for being so unique and creative and setting yourself apart from the rest of the typical YT community. Your work and passion are extraordinary!
I LOVE your happy grin after you cut paper with the wood prototype and hold them up in triumph. :D
You should've bought a giant Rock and a huge sheet of paper to play Rock Paper Scissors: Giant Edition
I love your videos so much! Your videos have inspired me to keep going down the welding career path. I was thinking of not going down the welding path because I was scared of not finding a job because the men were better at welding. But seeing you welding gives me true hope that I can do this and I really thank you!
my favorite part of watching simone struggle to carry things is that there's a cameraperson who could very clearly help, but instead is just filming her struggle
nobody:

@@gavart4509 make a big one
So this video is about Simone building a giant pair of scissors in order to run and go on a date with it
Seems legit
Nothing to see here.. do you have a warrant??
Thanks Simone, I have enjoyed discovering your videos and the simple simplicity in creation of things! Some of which are not so simple nor easy! Yet I still have joy watching your videos! Lovely Scissors ✂️ Have a lovely day!
I’m in the “they don’t make welding equipment in my size” club 👌🏻
I think Simone wanted to live in her doll house as a child.
Oh, giant office supplies.
"Excuse me, could you pass me the giant staple? I'm out."
That was so dope, I was so rooting for you! So glad it cut at the end!!! You put so much work into it! Congratulations!
The “takeing a break from me getting hammered” innuendo made this video worth watching!!!
That polka-dot welding mask is amazing!
Store openings will never be the same!
This is great! I love outrageously impractical versions of every day things. Keep up the awesome work, Simone!
"Let's take a break from me getting hammered" 😏
I guess you could say she likes scissoring..

I would pay $175 for a Giertz limited edition style.
“Let’s, uh, cut back to scissors!” I thought this was really funny 😂
Simone has brains, is funny, and is beautiful. Such awesomeness
Great project! Standard-size scissors have a slight curvature in the blades to force the cutting edges together. Yours might cut better if you replicated that feature. The video was fun to watch - is this the director's cut?
Soooo basically keep making giant scissors?
Also sissors are right or left handed if you use wrong hand they won't cut very well
I guess the thought of hammering the massive blades into the right shape made her abandon the idea immediately
@@Doping1234 A bit of heat applied to one side will cause it to curl.
@@Doping1234 The blades were solid, only the handles were hammered over the wooden bucks.
Oh lord. CUT. it. out. . . Get it? . . Sorry. I’ll remove myself now.

Hi from Australia Simone.
I am a sheetmetal worker and just wanted to suggest you get a TIG welder for welding lighter gauge metal. Once you get proficient with it, the results are astounding.
I really enjoy your videos.This video is very charming and I love your sense of humor. The video is high quality, well edited, and shows that a lot of production went into its making. Your scissors may not cut paper very well but I bet that can cut fingers super well.
