Engineers are drawn to complexity like moths to light, usually with the same results (quote, but forgot who said it)
I like how this is basically a 30 minute commercial for a product none of us could ever possibly own.

The concept of "it works, but it's not complicated enough" is what makes this channel great
I do enjoy this brand of engineering. Make things complicated till they just barely work.

“I was sharpening my pencil, officer.”

He gets a huge and impressive waterjet, and the first video he uses it for, he uses it to sharpen a pencil. What a legend.
He's gotta make sure he can write it off on his taxes. The year is almost over. No hate to stuffmadehere just giving explaination.
@@mrboss605He can write it off if he makes a video or not he bought it for his business.
Yep
🤭🤭 That's what my Dad did with his first water jet that was available in the upper Midwest back on the day. He was in his forties, excited like a kid on Xmas morning!
Thinking the same but at least hes not wasting material learning how to use it.
The spinny razor one not cutting the graphite is actually really cool because you'll waste less pencil for each pencil
that's 65% more pencil per pencil
I don't even know this guy, but his wife seems like such a perfect match for him. She's so supportive of all of his crazy ideas. No matter what he comes up with, she's like "I love it" 😂
Seriously they're so unbelievably sweet as a couple.
Normally, she's more sarcastically non-supportive. I think she just had a soft spot for pencil sharpeners.
I just stumbled across this channel. They are adorable.

The Water Jet Pencil Sharpener is such an egregious over use of precision instruments to perform a mundane task you've got to love it!
The spinning xacto not cutting the graphite is a really neat demonstration of the differing hardness between the wood and graphite. Low key my favorite part of the video.
Like also could be useful for certain purposes artistically just maybe not writing
@@allana6643 yeah, for sure. thicker graphite means less breakage. i really wish they did a writing test. the chainsaw-sharpened pencil looks like it was uneven and would break in two seconds...
It would be super interesting to go through different lead grades to find the one first one it can cut through.
@@Ahdok12 things:
1. thats a realy good idea
2. he could've just used a tungsten carbide blade lmao
The wood grain also tends to hold the blade inward whereas it bounces off the graphite.

With the explosive pencil sharpener instead of moving the pencil with the explosive force you could move a steel, cone shaped, wedge that carves the tip. Then you could have a shoulder that limits how far the cone goes on the pencil. Really great video like all of them. Thank you so much for what you do
I have an amazing idea for a pencil sharpener, A razor blade that stays stationary in a solid mount with a hole in it. As you spin the pencil around the razor shaves wood off the pencil slowly and soon you have a perfect tip.
Wow how did you come up with that?? Its impressive!! It might just be the best instrument ever invented!!
Guess what- they're making pencils thinner lately to save material & they don't fit in the sharpener correctly & keep breaking the point off.
@@NovaTheScreechingDragon Yep, never been invented before, this is the most original idea ever! I was inspired after i saw a guy using this weird, vintage thing, stuffing his pencil into it just to sharpen it, so after that, I got to work, hundreds of seco- days doing google searches to find something to st- invent untill finally, I reached a conclusion, I called it, the ULTRASHARP PRO.
@@peterbaruxis2511 wait really? companies usually make special sharpeners for their different sized pencils, not sure if the same has been done with those. I haven't seen these thinner pencils anywhere I've been but who knows.
I really think so, I can't find any old pencils laying around to compare but it seems like they're just slightly thinner and I always have a problem sharpening them. I don't think it's easy to tell the difference between just two pencils because it just a little bit but if I had ten old and ten new ones I think I'd be able to tell.@@bloxreaction2688

@@dankwarmouse6248I- yes. There is no better name. You forced me to make a comment just so you understood how good this was. A+
Honestly the rotating exacto would be good since it can be hard to physically sharpen a pencil’s wood _exclusively_
I was blessed with a great memory and a strong natural ability to mimic/replicate things that I see which made it fairly easy to do well in school, but I sorely lack much in the way of creativity. I don't have the head for engineering and it just makes my mind spin when I see folks who can visualize a creation and all of the little components. 8:16 is a perfect example. Every indention, spring, and fastener is there for a purpose, and his statement that he just "came up" with the design blows me away.
I like how the chainsaw sharpener was basically just a regular pencil sharpener but with a moving blade
An exposed moving blade
And a lot more dangerous
It’s the same but more dangerous. 10/10
There's plenty pencil sharpeners with moving blades as well, like the crank operated ones. Although they may be closer to the spinning beyblade design
I like how it was basically a chainsaw pocket knife.
Dude, your wife’s one-liners combined with her stoicism is absolutely comedic gold! 😂
I didn’t think she could smile!
I enjoy watching her more than actual creations
For the explosive idea, I would've sharpened the hole that forms the tip and used air pressure to launch it instead of blanks.
I was a fitter / welder for 18 years in really big special fabrication shops and i really appreciate nice equipment. When you showed your water jet cutting table I was so jealous and full of envy and yet I was really happy for you . Most people can only dream of owning things like that. I know it's a dream come true to have Equipment like that !😊 Have fun creating spectacular things with it .😊
The monthly payments on them are not a dream. Can confirm from personal experiance.
I usually think sharpening pencils with knives is an unnecessary way to accidentally cut yourself, now I marvel at how safe that method is.
Every carpenter I know including myself uses a knife to sharpen carpenters pencils! If you cut yourself doing that at work you’ll be a laughing stock 😂
Always cut away from yourself
If you accidentally cut yourself cutting a pencil you are doing something very wrong
If you are that afraid of using a knife, I think you really shouldn't, it is safer this way
I appreciate your joke and I am not going to brag about how I can sharpen a pencil with a knife because that would miss the point of your comment.
I love how your wife has such dry humor and gives you an idc face, yet we all know she truly does care. ❤

@@cammfrfr it wont cut me if i just move my hand really fast
That asphalt sharpener is ridiculous yet glorious.
@StuffMadeHere I have an idea for your .27 cal pencil sharpener. First you need to vent some of the gas off. Second don't try to force too blunt objects together and expect a sharpened result, in other words try you can't just compress the wood on the pencil. Try the sharp angle on the sharping end again but this time try to not only cut the wood instead of compress it, but also give the cut off bits somewhere to go. I wish i could leave a diagram in comments, but generally if i were to try to build this i would vent the gas off at the same place the cut off bits go. Hope you try this in the future, this video was very fun watch. Keep doing what you do!

I think you need to adapt your road pencil sharpener to fit a school bus and to hold multiple pencils. That way the children could put their pencils in the sharpener when they get on the bus. And they would all be sharp by the time they get to school.

My biggest takeaway from this video has nothing to do with sharpening pencils. I am just seeing one of the luckiest men I have ever observed.

Sure justifies the subscriber count.

use the explosives to spin the pencil. stick the pencil into a bolt and explosive fires to effectively tighten the bolt into a nut. at the tip of the pencil put just a regular old pencil sharpener. weld a plate to the outside of the bolt (one edge of the plain co-linear with the central axes of the bolt). explosive to push against the plate probably adjust diameter of the explosive to adjust the effect. also distance from the plate for further adjustment
that would be my my solution anyway
I made a similar thing to your trailer hitch pencil sharpener. I use this special tool called my hand and a belt sander.
As an engineer, I miss seeing the math's, design thoughts, validation, pre testing, etc
I hope you'll remember us nerds now that you've gotten huge!
EDIT: For all of you saying there isn't much technical work for some stuff.. I think you either haven't seen his previous works, way of approaching things and work flow. Even the simplest things he does has huge amount of technical thought behind them. I suspect maybe due to his background that likely may have required deep technical evaluations for every step of the way to making the printers he worked on.
maybe he'll start adding more of the technical commentary to the second channel again!
It's also insane what machinery he has to work with
As a toolmaker i dont miss any of them....just take some scrap bam bum bams magic ....finsihed tool...
yes have to agree, thats half the fun, seing what works and dont, and all that.
tbf I doubt there was as much of that for this project, since it's just pencil sharpeners and there's far less that can go wrong
This needs to be a yearly engineering challenge. With judges and all that.
That would be sooo sick
I could see it being a good challenge for engineering students. Not inherently that complex but as complex as they choose to make it. I still can’t believe the road one worked. My favorite unnecessary challenge has still gotta be the one to create the least convenient UI input methods. I think its just on reddit tho
Would also be a really cool thing to see added to high school curriculum like the egg drop.
