Colin Furze's job is, being Colin Furze. You're fantastically overqualified for it, if I'm honest. Applications for the roll, should it become vacant go to, PO Box, Pfffft
I've been watching his videos for at least ten years. He is more entertaining than about anyone else on the planet. By now, I've seen him succeed at building so many weird projects that I don't get as concerned as I used to. I would yell at my computer, "That piece of steel isn't big enough to take that load, Colin! You're going to hurt yourself." I'm no more of an engineer than Colin is, so I have no right to think I'm smarter than he is. But guys often think they are smarter than they are. At this point in time, he certainly has far more experience making things, especially strange things, than I have, or ever will have. He is a treasure, and I really hope that he maintains his safety record and never gets hurt.
Another 1980 child. Building huts and blowing things up in gravel pits was basically par for the coarse and at 44 digging a tunnel to a bunker is secretly what we all want to do. Love Colins attitude of just trying out stuff, that's what makes his channel so engaging, all feels genuine.
(He was born in 1979, like me, so I feel like me & Colin are kindred spirits. I'm also an engineer working mostly with metal, but not for fun but commercially.)
If it wasn’t for Colin we wouldn’t have a skatepark in Stamford. I remember the competition we did with Disney XD years back to raise funds. He’s the proper Stamford Cowboy
Colin is from the era where building, making and bodging weird and wonderful shit that went Zoom, thwap or boom was a part of childhood and I love that his work is captured for todays young adults to marvel at and be inspired because a mind is a terrible thing to waste :-)
As someone who does an awful lot of CNC work, having a CNC in a basement sounds like a massive pain in the arse 😂 not just the machine but getting sheets of ply down there!
@@kraftypk7283 lol trust me, I wish I had a better place for it right now. Someday I’ll find a new home for it though. I plan on building a workshop and move all my tools there. I’m documenting the build on my TH-cam channel. It’s been a massive learning experience so far.
Don't make any sense to do a contest between flatland and dirt/street (I'm not sure which one Matt did) I did flatland myself and possible won't be able to do a simple drop in a halfpipe or just a simple grind on a handrail 🤣
Can we all take a moment to appreciate Ben who brings us these interviews that we are dying to watch, thank you Ben for hosting these and to Colin who is an amazing lad! Great to hear this interview.
It's been an honor watch Colin invent stuff and do daring experiments. He is to England, what Hacksmith is to Ontario. I think Colin would make a great Quartermaster in 007 movies. So I'd make his title as a youtuber, The Qsmith!
Came across Colin’s channel accidentally yesterday and absolutely captivated by the garage build and here I am watching this finding out more crazy stuff about the bloke. What a character!!😂 Good work Ben, yet another brilliant guest in the van 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
i love the fact colin invents things to solve problems no one has !!!! there is i fine line between genius and insanity and its nice to see that colin is at home on both sides of it , thats what makes his content so interesting
Colin is a total inspiration on all fronts. Getting cool stuff done on a FUN and practical basis. It doesn't stop being entertaining and even educational!
Loved this interview, who does not love Colin! With his personality he would be a sucess at absolutely any chosen career. So glad we get to enjoy him on TH-cam.
When I hear Colin talk about which years things happened, it scares me that I’ve “known” him longer than many of my friends! 😁 Keep up the good work, you go where the rest of us fear to tread.
Only a few TH-camrs I follow faithfully. Collin Furze, and the King of Random are my most favorite as Collin seems so genuine and in touch with his inner child curiosity. He does what others say can't be done. Love ya Collin keep the fun coming.
Met Colin a couple of time (signed a book and also gave him a VCR for the DeLorean) and this is a really interesting and frank interview, great watching and learning more :-) Thanks
@@colinfurze Tell me please, do you fundamentally not want to wear protective equipment (at least a helmet and glasses) or are you risking it for the sake of filming?
1 of the best blokes on the Internet by far. Been watching Colin for years and years now I'd love to sit down and have a pint or 2 with Colin and guy martin. What a great way to spend a day that would be!
The mining company shirts propelled the project into Disney level. When the entertainment is so top shelf that a theme can form around it.....That is something special for the fans.
What an awesome interview / chat, Colin is such an interesting and extremley clever guy, I have loved watching this. Colin Furze ought to stand for prime minister ! His attitude is just brilliant.
Loved watching this - I’ve followed Colin from the beginning. Seeing the media landscape grow and allow people like this to do stuff like this is brilliant. Great chat 👏👏
The energy and enthusiasm of this guy needs to be bottled and given to our future generations. The guy is such an inspiration to invent, build and have fun.
I remember all of the early days of YT and hearing all this I realise how long this is all gone and I feel old LOL YT is alomst 20 years online now CRAZY!
41:02 This sounds a lot like what happened when MasterMilo (Colin knows the channel) started a second channel. The second channel now gets much more views and attracts more sponsors and collabs and has in fact become the main channel, where as the actual main channel has become the season review channel like Colin calls it.
lovely chat with Colin, seems like such a genuine bloke, been following him for years and is one of the few compulsive viewing channels that i check out. aaaah CKY that brings back memories... Colin was talking about Dirty Sanchez. crazy time for reality TV lol. Colins dad sounds a lot like my own, we should have had a lot in common in theory, but just never quite got along, he passed away last year and it was always an odd relationship. now that hes gone I've found so many things that we really should have bonded over but never did because he didnt want to share things, a shame, but thats how it is.
Great interview with Colin, some burning questions answered, such as does he live in the house. I think the bit that was nailed on the head was Colins explination of TV shows hiring people because of what they are/do and then trying to fit them to their TV mold. Reminds me of Waynes World when they moved them from basement show to TV studio but its why TH-cam works and TV does not for the same format.
Colin is literally one of the last 90's kids that would mess about and experiement with stuff! it was fun, no intetnet, no mobiles with cameras. Better times.
Great interview, actually really awesome to hear the man and his challenges, you know, you don't really get to see that, but it's nice you know? And Colin, sir, don't worry man, I watch your secondary AND your main channel equally alike.
What a great interview! I'm watching this at 5am and I get a question in my head and straight away that question is answered. Ben, thank you for not interrupting Colin as many others would have, much appreciated. Colin your dad would be very proud of you. 💗 I've always enjoyed Colin's personality and enthusiasm for tinkering and building. And I think he inspired me to dig up my garden and fix the sewer pipe. Quite a daunting task as I had put it off for probably 10 years. (I have a career in the filming business and wish I had filmed my project.) Colin is right, digging up the first spade full of dirt crosses the comfort zone. But I found out that if I take my time and do each stage to the best of my ability, I get there in the end. Eventually I have the satisfaction of getting my downstairs toilet to work 100% again. Ben, you earned a subscription and I'm off to check out your other videos.
well done gents. I really enjoyed the whole discussion. it reminded me of when I was a kid, building all kinds of crazy stuff. I grew up on a farm. I found an old block building in the woods once that had mostly fallen down. I decided to build a forge; so I stacked the concrete blocks up in a mass with a fire box section; put down a piece of metal roofing for the heat are on top with a ring of blocks holding it down. I filled the top cavity on top of this metal sheet with rocks. I tried to use it; it failed miserably 😀 it was a wonder I didn't burn down the woods.
some of the inventions you've made whether they're useful or not those videos have been part of my childhood Not only is Colin Furze a very, very smart man, but also also my favorite TH-camr I love watching the cool things he makes
Enjoyed Colin's creations from the beginning. Back in the early days whenever a new video appeared on his channel You knew it would be a few minutes of creativity and great fun. People like Colin are what made TH-cam so good.
Does anyone else really miss gadget geeks - i cant find some of the episodes anymore and i think they were deleted. It was so iconic with the combo of colin and tom! (Gotta love charles too)
We all have Colin Furzes in our lives as we grow up. You know that one wild kid who would take any dare like jumping off the cliff with a home made parachute. Since I'm really old and grew up in the 60's and 70's, we had far too many of them dying from drug abuse because they were never too scared to try anything! Shame how many of them would be Colin Furze contemporaries nowadays !
I remember the first time I ever seen Colin and it wasn't TH-cam. It was the smoking gun. It showed him making his famous jet propulsion bicycle. It was astonishing and beyond anything I've ever seen someone do. The next invention of his was his magnet boots which was hysterical but still wow to me. After seeing him for the third time I bunkered down and searched for him by his first video and a year after he started his tunnel I subscribed to him and I don't regret watching his creativity.
I've been watching Colin for about 6 years,I have shown my kids who love the cool stuff he does,watch everything he does,just a great bloke who does cool stuff,keep it up Colin will always watch your video's and thank you for all the cool stuff
Very good interview. It's always nice to hear the back-story of a creator that you're fond of, especially if they come across as decent a person as Colin did.
i had the pleasure of talking to this fella on the phone about a particular project. He is such a legend and so down to earth. He ended up not needing my help which was totally fine but gosh i wish i could have met him lol.
I thought the fisherman vs. car video was your best one yet, it was brilliant. Just cause it didn't click this time don't give up on the wild ideas as one might suddenly take
Colin is basically what is wish i had become 🤣 as a kid i built two story dens, go carts out of wood and pram wheels, i made a zip line using tow rope a bread crate and wheel barrow wheel, i made a rollercoaster using my sets of dads ladders and a go kart seat screwed to a road sign barrier. Later in life i got into electronics and made circuits to clap lights on and off and a laser beam that triggered a buzzer to let me know someone came into my room….and as my channel shows started converting vans into campers then after everyone telling me i “need a proper job” i went to university and became a social worker for vulnerable adults and burnt myself out. In my case ADHD maybe but either way. Colin you followed what you enjoy and i applaud you with envy 😎🤣
Great interview, it was fun to listen to. I've been watching Colin since the early days of TH-cam, one of the wall of death videos was the first one I saw.
Love listening to the history of how this all came about. I love creating and making stuff. Colin is a massive inspiration to me. Thanks for the video!
Just had a flash back about something I forgot I'd seen. Colin Furze being Russell Howard's mystery guest! Going to watch rest of video first but... Next rabbit hole is going to be a mystery guest montage. You have a natural way Ben of making people comfortable. Not quite Parkey, yes I'm of that generation but master of your craft you are for this current youtube generation. 👏👏👏 And to butter your ego just a little bit more, I will be subscribing. Love a bit of Furze
The Ferris wheel sticks out as a favorite. I would have the chickens scared out of me to try and go round on that. tHanks for all the great videos! Great job on the interview, tHanks
Biggest influence on me, I saw what he built from his shed and it genuinely inspired me. I kinda framed my own shed to his and in honestly he brought back my inner child and changed my life and brought back my imagination. I hope he doesn't stray too far away from the projects he did in his shed.
My dad was from South Cheam. I’m 60 now and it was born and raised in New York live with my parents pretty normal middle-class life. But as an Englishman to me in my teen years and older, I had exactly the same kind of parallel life to my dad. We were two different people and he didn’t 100% understand who I was, because he was righteously and productively focused on his own pursuits. And that way, he was a great example for me as an adult.
I love what you guys are doing here. I have a note about the sound. It sounds very compressed and unnatural. You may want to back off the active noise canceling and / or compression on the recording side and focus on fixing noise in post-production. We can't hear you breathing in between phrases, and it's just missing something. Again! Amazing content, keep it up.
At long last we have the best interview of Colin that I have found extremely entertaining. Well done Ben and Colin. ye should do something crazy together. You connect. Reply
Thanks for doing this interview/podcast with Colin! I'm a big fan of his and it was great to hear him talking about how he got to where he is now. I started following him during lockdown, and he's been great entertainment ever since! I shall be looking out for more videos from you Ben, great channel mate. I shall go hit them Like and Subscribe buttons.

Watching from the US in the Midwest. Colin is without a doubt the most fun channel to watch on TH-cam.
It's been an honor watch Colin invent stuff and do daring experiments. He is to England, what Hacksmith is to Ontario. I think Colin would make a great Quartermaster in 007 movies. So I'd make his title as a youtuber, The Qsmith!

Dirty Sanchez was the welsh lads witch also ended up been the pain men on balls of steel
That was it, I could picture it but not the name.
Yea I remember em Pancho, Dainton, Pritchard and the cockney Dan I think he was called. Balls of steel was great as well
Dirty sanchez was horrific 😅
I'd completely forgotten about the Welsh _Jackass_ . Wasn't there a similar show with a bunch of Scottish lads too?
"There's only one way to find out Mark" 🤣
I had a quarry near me that I played in when I was a kid. It really is the best playground you could wish for.

Great interview. Colin is such a down to earth guy, that does the crazy stuff we all wish we could.
Colin really strikes me as just a(somewhat) normal bloke, would love to see some of his old BMX stuff
Love listening to the history of how this all came about. I love creating and making stuff. Colin is a massive inspiration to me. Thanks for the video!
Just had a flash back about something I forgot I'd seen. Colin Furze being Russell Howard's mystery guest! Going to watch rest of video first but... Next rabbit hole is going to be a mystery guest montage. You have a natural way Ben of making people comfortable. Not quite Parkey, yes I'm of that generation but master of your craft you are for this current youtube generation. 👏👏👏 And to butter your ego just a little bit more, I will be subscribing. Love a bit of Furze
Colin Furze has always been my favorite TH-camr. The way id describe him is the best guy to be around during an apocalypse 😂
The Ferris wheel sticks out as a favorite. I would have the chickens scared out of me to try and go round on that. tHanks for all the great videos!
Great job on the interview, tHanks
Biggest influence on me, I saw what he built from his shed and it genuinely inspired me. I kinda framed my own shed to his and in honestly he brought back my inner child and changed my life and brought back my imagination. I hope he doesn't stray too far away from the projects he did in his shed.
Colin demonstrates this wisdom so well. "Faster alone, further together"
My dad was from South Cheam. I’m 60 now and it was born and raised in New York live with my parents pretty normal middle-class life. But as an Englishman to me in my teen years and older, I had exactly the same kind of parallel life to my dad. We were two different people and he didn’t 100% understand who I was, because he was righteously and productively focused on his own pursuits. And that way, he was a great example for me as an adult.
Excellent first 40 second intro! Peaks interest without spoiling.
At this stage Colin could put out a video on crocheting drinks coasters and we would watch
I think he should try this for research purposes
My Alexa just replied "I'm not sure about that" to the flame thrower.
I love what you guys are doing here. I have a note about the sound. It sounds very compressed and unnatural. You may want to back off the active noise canceling and / or compression on the recording side and focus on fixing noise in post-production. We can't hear you breathing in between phrases, and it's just missing something.
Again! Amazing content, keep it up.
At long last we have the best interview of Colin that I have found extremely entertaining. Well done Ben and Colin. ye should do something crazy together. You connect.

Totally forgot about the CKY skateboard video(that evolved to Jackass), what a flashback!. Now I need to go watch it again. :)
Apart from the insight into Colin's life, what a fascinating walk thru the early days of TH-cam this is.
A true punk hero!!! The most authentic TH-camr ever!!! And a humble fun man.
Had to laugh when you described the Alexa flame thrower and my own Alexa answered 😂
Thanks for doing this interview/podcast with Colin! I'm a big fan of his and it was great to hear him talking about how he got to where he is now. I started following him during lockdown, and he's been great entertainment ever since!
