I made the worlds most dangerous pool stick 

RIP Grant imahara

I've lived in worse attics.

4:14 with any youtuber I'd be like "yeah, he just put on underwear and blurred it for comedic effect" but with IDAT specifically I wholeheartedly believe that he would record a segment completely naked for a video. No matter how utterly insane he sounds, I just never get the impression that he's faking anything

You should add a ludicrously thick insulation layer + sound-dampening foam to your garage and test how loud a noise you can make inside without your hypothetical wife noticing while she lounges by the pool listening to bossa nova.

The fact this man isn't evicted again is astonishing

"Hey, did you bring a pool stick?" "What caliber?"

When you’re about to make the greatest joke for *friend group 3* but you remember that you’re in *friend group 1:* 8:53

I love how half the premisses of the engineers of youtube for making highly dangerous sport equipment is "so i suck at this sport so i made a literal gun to perform a once safe activity". Amazing vid :)

IDAT is single-handedly gonna make blanks illegal in Australia

It’s impressive how quickly you’re able to turn normal objects into what might be a felony

"Polycarbonate has many more layers" is an amazing dad joke, what the fuck

Someone needs to make a battle royale where the weapons are just all of the dangerous stuff he makes.

I'm pretty sure that the Australian government is monitoring this dude every time he upload a sketchy video

Make the world's most powerful toaster. Who needs guns when you can eject a flamin' hot piece of toast at someone.

Rip grant, he was a blessing on this world and didn’t deserve to have to go too soon. Such a brilliant mind was stripped from us that day. I hope wherever you are you’re happy grant.

This is what happens when you combine a rock climber and a backyard engineer. Pure RU-vid gold.

RIP Grant Imahara - an amazing man and an amazing creator

I sincerely love that the only reason blank rounds are safe is because they aren’t firing a projectile, and then idat calls them safe and puts a projectile in front of them

When Alex says "a ridicoulus speed at 6:46", it took a single frame for the piston to extend! That's pretty fast!

I also cried whenever I found out about Grant May he rest in peace he's one of the few people to shape mines in such a beautiful way with science.

I like how he avoids every single real safety procedures but ALWAYS remembers ear protection.

I've said it once and I'll say it again; We are getting closer and closer to this man making a gun.

never knew that grant had died.feel so sad . may he rest in peace. he will always be with our heart.

this dude just doesnt give any fucks to the point he did the opposite of a disclosure telling kids to play with blanks, and I fuckin love it

The fact that the police show up to your house for an air powered tampon launcher, but literal gun sounds coming from your garage is totally fine. Love that.

I love how he just casually shows up once a few months, with the most absurd, unholy contraption but we aren't even surprised because it makes sense.

Congratulations, you have invented a gadget the penguin would use against Batman. Lord help us all.

bare feet, Im never getting over that ,BARE FEET IN A METAL WORKSHOP

The fact that he still has the machete fan on his ceiling is hilarious and scary at the same time

The Grant Imahara bit was heartbreaking, but that failed high-five at 14:37 was soul crushing

14:30 Imagine using that exploding poolstick at somebody elses table. That thing is scary AF

The funniest part about this is that the mechanism makes it illegal in pool. You cant hit the cue ball twice in a row. Since this has to tap the ball, then fire to hit it again, it makes every single shot a foul. That being said, it COULD potentially technically be legal if it had a different trigger mechanism built in. (Also, real talk... rest in peace Grant. You are dearly missed 🖤)

im always impressed at your ability to keep all of your fingers intact in the most precarious of situations

as a kid under 8 years old, i can confirm playing with little blank caps is very safe and fun

I loved the "can you tell me what it is so i can avoid doing it?" 😂😂😂😂😂

That being said I found this channel a few weeks back and it instantly became one of my favorite channels! Keep em coming bro!

What a mad lad, he used the lathe to fix the same lathe while the lathe was still broken.

For real RIP Grant Imahara. His passing didn’t get as much publicity as it should have. Dude was a brilliant man.

You’d never win a pool game with that but you’d never loose either

this was brilliant! as a machinist, watching you do it barefoot was at first terrifying, but then strangely soothing.

It’s scary that he is actually good at making this stuff now but still has zero safety protocol

I'm always so surprised at how buff he is like idk why I always imagine him as a malnourished caveman

For anyone who’s curious, the intro music is called Dance of the Knights

The lack of safety with how dangerous his ideas are is both shocking and extremely entertaining

I remember watching an interview where Adam Savage was so shocked when they realized that material they used for protective screens was not actually bullet prove, when they were basically doing ballistic and explosive tests behind that shit

6:01 the only ad/sponsorship I flipping love

Not gonna lie, that grief for Grant was so well acted you could believe it was real

Your dedication to violating every OSHA regulation ever made is admirable

remember what limits this man is not his imagination ... it's aussie law

I just discovered this guy a couple days ago. Comedic genius

18:25 bro has some strong balls for putting that camera there

It's incredible how this guy sometimes makes things just milimetes away from being classified as a fully functional firearm and just casually uploads it to youtube for the whole world to see. Love him.

Rest in peace Grant Imahara, you were such an amazing person and genuinely improved the world in your lifetime❤

I just love how you're doing all this next to your bikes.

I'm so sorry you had to go through that

It’s really nice to see a so many fellow myth buster fans here. Grant was such a great guy. Rip.

"Im gonna use this poly carbonate to protect myself when the blank goes off" *proceeds to put head above poly carbonate when blank goes off*

Im glad your here so i can still witness this sort of stuff without doing it myself

So I just found this and this guy is now one of my favorites. if Stuff Made Here didn't do any of his complex engineering and calculations you would get this guy.

9:34 RIP Grant Imahara. You truly were one of the best parts of MythBusters. You will be missed.

We went from "I accidentally gave Alexa a concussion, so he had to back out of chessboxing" to "I want to fire a billiard ball at Alexa's head like something out of Tom&Jerry"

This channel is so unique and original. Love it

You guys are so f’ng lucky that you didn’t obliterate your DSLR with one of those cannon ball pool balls

You broke your laythe, so you used your laythe, to fix your laythe. Stuff's got the same energy as "I got a flat tyre, so I drove home to fix it"

now make the worlds strongest poo stick

My guy is designed an assisted ball breaking device, has an entire pool table, but lost his stick with bridge head to avoid missing. love it.

Brain Aneurism is an incredibly difficult way to lose a loved one... difficult to explain, difficult to rationalize... my thoughts and prayers go out to the Imahara family and all those who were impacted by the loss of that man. He will not be forgotten

Learning of Grant's death was a huge blow to me when it happened. I really grew up with the Mythbusters, and Grant and Adam were two of my biggest role models as a teenager interested in STEM. 2020 truly was the darkest year, for a lot of reasons. Rest in Peace, Grant. You did so much good with the time you had.

His calm voice and the serene background music combined with the sheer neglect of personal safety creates a harmony of madness i've rarely seen before :D

11:39 that terrifying moment after something breaks or goes wrong where you freeze and do a quick mental inventory trying to figure out if you still have all your parts and aren't leaking any of that red fluid... Always scary, even when you're expecting something might go wrong, and especially when you're not

I appreciate your tribute to the fellow Grant, RIP.

This guy is just an 8 years old child who can use real tools to make his ideas.

This man nearly puts himself on a liveleak copy multiple times, I respect it

2:41 Ive used one of em before and i always mess up! Thanks for showing me this and I'll always do this now

Man that sucker can leave an Impression!!!! Totally +1 and Thank you for your creativity.

I love this channel because it’s like all the other science channels, but without the science and the same amount of danger

RIP Grant Imahara, pretty sure he's smiling down with his battlebots watching you create madstuff. Pretty sure him and mythbusters were a huge influence to todays creators.

That pool stick falling out of the ceiling after Alex left the room had excellent comedic timing

High confidence to be testing that right next to the nice bikes and those power tools. Haha

He just needs to recruit some likeminded aussies and he'll have a full-blown army

This man turned pool in to America’s favorite leisure activity

When the guy's high five got ignored a tear fell down my cheek. Heartbreaking.

I genuinely don’t want anything bad to happen to him but I feel like it’s only a matter of time before a piece of metal randomly ricochets off something and catches him in the face or chest. Or gets his shirt or apron caught in that lathe! Be careful man. 😮You are an international treasure.

You really outdid your thing this time. One of the best builds comedy wise

I see you have mastered this old Tony's lathe style

Most somber moment in IDAT is when he made a little shrine for Grant Imahara

i love how this man just breaks time continuity for humor

I love how you set up all these protective barriers, and then you do it barefoot

the thing i love the most about these videos are the fourth wall breaks, like alex just casually pulling out the final result, the thumbnail while he's only a few hours into making the thing

It's very refreshing to see a youtube video that doesn't tell me what not to do at home but instead inspires young people to experiment with explosives ;)

Pro tips to eliminate chatter. Reduce your material stickout, give your tool a shallower entry angle, use your tail stock, purchase a steady rest if you don’t already have one, use cutting oil, reduce your feed rate, increase your cutting speed.

The fact that he isn’t already under investigation for manufacturing of dangerous/ explosive weapons is a miracle by itself

As a mechanical engineering student I must say your machining methods make me want to grab an inserted endmill while the mill is on

bro is the only person in the planet to still hit a cue ball and make it land in a pocket without hitting anything after modifying the stick with blank rounds

“If there are any kids under 8 you should definitely be playing with these “ 😂

There are many channels on YT that make me appreciate the talent and hard work that goes into realizing projects like this but this channel is the only one that can make videos that are both absurdist in nature and cohesive all at the same time. So props to that! This channel is a gem and I’m so glad I found it.

Never did I realize that Australians were as dangerously creative as Floridians. Edit: Thanks for all the likes, I also thank you for teaching me a little more about the world. :)

The I said "oh my god" part cracked me tf up

The "polycarbonate is like monogomycarbonate, but with more layers" joke had me laughing for a solid five minutes.

Jokes aside, that Grant Imahara altar really made me sad. He was my favorite Mythbuster and such an amazing person! Rest in Power Grant.
