The M&T IS SOLVED! (but we still need Frank) S8E20 

Do you think we should receive a full refund?

It's funny how one of the things that makes my week a good week is knowing a man named Jason halfway around the world figured out a really big problem and I'm just happy for him.

It was good to see Jason smile. Feels like we haven’t seen him smile in awhile.

The montage was simply glorious.

As a software developer i can tell you the feeling of finding a bug after that amount of time is awesome

Oh hot damn that montage was absolute perfection. *chefs kiss*

Wow, throwing in the Batman Forever Bane scene, nice.

1:10-2:57 was one of the coolest things ive seen in a while. As someone whose day job is building/fixing things it kinda feels like that sometimes.

I think that you should not only receive a full refund for the M&T, but you should go after them for reimbursement on the wood pieces that the machine didn't properly cut.

I actually really love the tracker tile with 3 different types of metal dials in it at the same time- I think the visual difference would make it super fast + intuitive to differentiate hp/spells/etc in game. Any chance that's going to be an option?

when frank finds out how many unlicensed clips you montaged you're gonna need a frank for your frank.

I love the sci-fi building/hacking montage

I appreciate how thorough you guys have been in ensuring that everything is as good as possible instead of sending out shitty tables. I'm patient, and look forward to playing on my table when it's ready. You guys rock!

MAJOR Congratulations to Jason!!!

Hell yeah you should get a full refund. The man hours alone it took to figure out what's up. That company straight screwed you. Go get that refund ya'll. If anyone can get for you it's Frank.

The added Stark Forging/Sci-Fi stuff was great! My vote is for the Damascus on the Tracker Tiles.

I wanna see what Frank has to say about the M&T nonsense

QotD: FRANKly, WW deserves much more than a 100% refund. How much material was lost in the process? How much labor was spent across this duration with a faulty machine? How much profit was potentially lost from not putting out merchandise? How many tables were not shipped due to material that didn't pass QC? WW lost much more than the value of the M&T machine.

That montage just kept going. It was beautiful.

The cinematic parallels montage was simultaneously HILARIOUS and impressive. Quality wyrmlyfe content (and what a relief that the test to found answers!!)

That intro was everything.

Jason's face at the beginning of the episode and his face at the end of the episode. That's what success looks like.

Spectacular editing on this one!

The whole M&T Business has made me have so much respect for Jason. He is not only running a really fast growing company that has production issues, but also spearheads the solving those issues completely hands on

Having dropped almost 5 grand into just this kickstarter, I am so happy to hear about your guys wins. Also, that montage of the testing was an ode to all crafting on film. I may have been laughing my ass off, but damn was it beautiful.

ayyyyy. M&T do be improving and we love the happy Doug and Jason

If I was going to order a tracker tile, I think the Damascus to me looks the best for color wise and readability.

Aww this montage is so sick! *shows Amazon rocket* well that turned to shit real quick. If the machine is running at 33% you deserve a 67% discount.

The building montage was gold, I might have to buy some of your wooden thingies just off of the entertainment I get from the videos.

So happy to see the team feeling positive and moving forward. Was really feeling big empathy for Jason, Doug, and the team these past few weeks. I can’t imagine how frustrating and demoralizing the past couple months have been for them. To see them press forward and find solutions is a major inspiration. Kudos to you all, and I’m so incredibly stoked to get my table in the coming months-especially knowing all the hard work that’s gone into making it. Y’all should feel mega proud of yourselves.

• Damn that montage looks like it's straight out of a documentary. Great job! The mood lighting, the pacing, the music... the parody (LOL). 😂😂😂 Awesome work guys! • Get a full refund or have them fix it and then get some compensation. I mean the time, trouble, energy, wasted resources it has caused you guys is just like... nope. Yeah, they need to take SOME form of substantial responsibility for not keeping their end of the bargain. Cast Legal Intervention and summon Frank. • That tracker dial is so sexy. Inked letters would be nice, yes.

Your openness about the issues you are facing is amazing. So glad to see a happy Jason. Also that montage at the beginning was fantastic.

The quality of the production is getting higher and higher. The intro was SICK! Good work guys! Probably the best series from my perspective - woodworking and heavy machines - the engineer in me is sooo happy :D

Bruh the Jason montage was some of the best content I've seen in any media ☠☠

I just gotta pause right here an comment on that intro. LOL... Bravo. Bravo.Now, on to the rest of the episode.

Just watching Jason happy in this video makes me happy. I can't imagine the stress he was under by spending, idon't know, 16 hours per day for a couple of weeks. I'm more of a Doug fan, but for the last couple of episodes I was much more interested in how Jason was doing.

So happy for you guys to see this back on the right track! Major props to Jason and his team! Getting Frank involved is the biggest factor when it comes to how much of a refund you should fight for. He's the one who will know what is deserved vs what can actually have a chance at being won in a lawsuit.

So I remember Jason talking about turning up the PSI on the clamps 4ish? episodes ago? Knowing what you now know have you tried lowering the clamp PSI below the factory setting?

Congrats on figuring out the issues! It was good to see everyone so relieved to figure it out. Also, loved the editing while Jason was running tests!

I love it when you film yourself entering the room. It just fully immerses me into the Wyrmwood experience. Haha

The fact that the manufacturer didn't have a tech down there with you for troubleshooting this speaks volumes. I used to work with an Industrials supplier and we did setup and consulting for a wide range of manufacturing industries. If a major tool like that was having an issue after install we would have had a tech there overnight, even if we lost money on the deal. When a company buys a major tool like that, the setup fee is usually part of the sell. There is also a downtime calculation for configuration and integration. However, when a brand new tool can't perform to the specs or parameters demanded by the client. You expect a call from Frank.

I loved the dramatic cut scenes with Jason. Too funny!

In the US, if you say you're product can do something and it can't, you best be ready for several lawsuits (there are ways around that for some things, but in this case pretty sure it's clear cut). There has been a substantial amount of lost productivity, product, and material (like the personal computer and metal used to repair the M&T parts) to just get the machine functional. Not working to 100% to spec, just FUNCTIONAL. In this case, I would say there's a good chance you could argue the M&T was sold under false pretenses. It was sold under the promise that it would 1) run to spec, 2) parallel process, 3) do both 1 and 2 at the same time with a variety of accessory bits. It did not run to spec, the software did not function, it _cannot_ parallel process to spec, and at no point did the manufacturer step in to help diagnose ANY of it, let alone offer repair it, or give compensation of any kind for the problem they caused by over promising what their product could do. So yeah, you DEFINITELY deserve a full refund, possibly more if you take in the damages it caused. Had you gone to a competitor it's likely this would not have happened because this is NOT normal business practice to the best of my understanding. Yes problems happen, especially after first install, BUT NORMALLY the selling company helps you fix that, NOT leaving you out to dry once they got the money.

This is one of my favorite episodes yet. That montage was FIRE. I'm so glad you sorted it oyt, because Jason looked like a broken man at the beginning of the episode.

What is the minimum clamping pressure required to repeatedly produce good parts? This may possibly be resolved by a couple regulators.

I appreciate all of the movie scenes you guys added. Very well made 😎

seeing Jason before this M&T machine compared to now at this meeting

Working in IT tech support for as long as I have, being an engineer, I KNOW the feeling Jason had when he was talking about the MnT issue discovery. Such a great feeling to finally track something like that doesn’t. Congrats, guys! Can’t wait to see my table when it comes in…glad I was in the May tier and all these changes are going to inherently be on my table.

Dude the intro again so awesome! Episode can't get better after this

BEST MONTAGE EVER ... Loved it

Best intro montage. Incredible.

When you’re pushing the envelope in manufacturing, these type of thing happen. Know from experience. Figuring them out is such a win it’s amazing.

Any video with Foo Fighters jams becomes automatically 117% more awesome. The taste of the music in these videos is just delicious.

If you're going to do inking on the tracker tile, offer it as an option. Some people might want them "naked", or want to use a different color than you offer. I could see myself inking the silver in red, or the bronze in purple (to match my favored dice sets).

Thank the blue sky! All hail Jason, Finder of the Problem!

Jason's just entire mood and expression after finding the problem, you could see the difference. Man looked like he was carrying the M&T on his back trying to fix it. So glad to see Jason figure it out, but it shouldn't have ever come to that for him

For the tracker tiles, you should send it with a little swatch of fabric for polishing to keep it always looking 👌

I’m genuinely happy for you guys. Good work Jason! 😄

And now a comment in the post credit scene. Man I wanna see a tumbled/brushed/sandblasted finish. But, especially against that dark wood, I just like the rustic aesthetic.

Yo I'm super happy for Jason figuring out this thicket, but I just wanna throw out there that the montage hyping up the fixing was awesome and deserves recognizing.

Whomever picks the end music...episode after episode, it's like you're peeking into my Spotify. A true hero!

Whoever cut this, deserves an award.

Someone needs to send Wyrmwood a keg of beer and a bunch of scale models of the M&T machine, so that the next Wyrmlife has a segment of them in Crazy Ed's back yard going full 'Office Space'. They deserve it, and so does that damn M&T machine!

Jason leveled up with his troubleshooting. Wisdom 20.

WOW! - such many cuts!

Best research montage ever!

Thank you for your effort Jason.

Best. Montage. EVER!

this was one of my favorite episodes in a long time

Ghost in the machine. Nice reference there.

just the editing alone.... well done

Full refund yes, especially if you ordered the M&T before 2020 and that's when they promised you could parallel process

Gotta love that montage! That was awesome.

The whole montage absolutely killed me. After all this I hope we get more smiling Jason again. I miss smiling Jason.

That tracker tile is great. Love the look of it.

Loved the intro! That was fantastic!!

Good work Jason and TEAM!

Franks ring tone should be that clip from jurassic Park

YAY! CONGRATS WYRMWOOD! I am so happy for you guys. This has been such a downer for so long. Glad the M&T machine is "working".

The bit at the start of the video was hilarious.

I like the silver and the 'damascus' a lot though 👀👀

I like the matte silver one with the rings in the middle

Jason can finally joke about things again! XD

I don’t think you can ask for a full refund unless you return the machine

Wow, Jason looks exhausted. Doug looks exhausted. Seriously guys I hope you can get over this hump.

That intro was 🔥🔥🔥

I'm so sorry this M&T has caused so many headaches, but it might be worth the fixing montage.

omg that montage!! That's just so awesome!

Gosh I feel sorry for Jason, he seems so down. It's okay Jason! You are loved!

@Jason way to go man, awesome job in finding the problem

That montage was INCREDIBLY edited. Masterful. I've seen worse out of Hollywood, consistently. Well fucking done, team!

Awesome montage!

Ooo Red Numbers on the gold would look great

This whole process is goddamn fascinating. Minus one point for no flux capacitor reference in the montage. ;-)

Were I the engineer tasked with solving it, I'd try two approaches. Surefire way would be to make separate floor-mounted arm structures to do the clamping, reuse existing cylinders, and possibly brace the tables/surfaces to minimize deflection. Otherwise, run table-mounted stabilizers/bridge on each side of the clamps to keep the deflection limited to one table section. Neither is elegant or adjustable, but both would allow parallel processing. That's definitely an engineering oversight to not factor in deflection on a beam that's taking a few hundred pounds of force on an 8-foot long beam. For a machine that's supposed to be accurate to ~5thou, it's not acceptable to ignore deflection. Definitely get Frank involved. 6mo late and a month of OT to fix it before being able to run parts is almost certainly a legal matter. From the perspective of an engineer that's done custom designs, on future machines, make sure late fees are in the contract, and that there's startup support that ends when the machine's making chips to spec instead of just making chips. Custom machine design is a different world than the rest of Wyrmwood's machines.

LOL Best cut always

Less than a month to go until we get our hands on the classic adventuring party sets! So excited!!

If the deflection is consistent can you compensate and only run when when all stations are full?

oh my actual god that intro was amazing

Damascus looked excellent on camera.
