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

IDAT is single-handedly gonna make blanks illegal in Australia

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 :)

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 🖤)

Your dedication to violating every OSHA regulation ever made is admirable

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

Jokes aside, Grant was a genuine loss to maker communities across the planet. Kinda odd you can actually miss people you never knew just for what they gave to communities you're a part of.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Imagine playing pool with this guy and he whips out a stick loaded with a 50cal, take a shot and then ejects the shell like a god damn sniper rifle

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

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

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

Grant died from a brain aneurysm

THIS IS JUST A GUN, THAT SHELL EJECTING AT THE BEGINNING IS JUST A NORMAL SHELL EJECTION SYSTEM

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

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"

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

Honestly I dont blame you for making a memorial for Grant... Rest in peace.

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. :)

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

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.

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

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.

"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*

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 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"

We need to pit this cue against StuffMadeHere’s computerized pool cue and prove that precision really does count more than power.

My math is even worse, after my calculations, the billiard was traveling at -5,7 seconds per hour

now make the worlds strongest poo stick

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.

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.

I'm so sorry you had to go through that

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

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

So a ball only last two thrust from the pool stick,terrifying,might as well have this guy work for the military.

6:01 the only ad/sponsorship I flipping love

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.

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

8:20 Totally normal Aussie attic filled with coincidentally corpse-like items and a head-sized plastic bag, wow. That's a bargain

Miss Grant and Mythbusters. One of greatest educational shows ever.

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

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

i love how this man just breaks time continuity for humor

50 cal pool stick is the most Texas thing I have ever heard from somewhere other than Texas

the first shot of this video... so real man

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

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

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

As a competitive pool player, the concept is interesting but the process broke my heart 😭 the treatment of that cue made me cringe. Along with the fact that you called it a "stick" ugh 😂

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

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

This channel is so unique and original. Love it

the pool stick looks like some hitman 46 weapon

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

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