I cried when he died... Felt like I lost a friend. Watched both of your videos for years. It reminded me to appreciate people while they're here.

Great that you are still around, I was wondering what happened as you haven't uploaded video's for a long time. It was a real shock to hear that Ed passed away. Initially I couldn't believe it. Very sad news to hear that an awesome guy / great engineer / tinkerer is not with us anymore. Your orange cat looks very good, they are great for quality control. Nice 1 banger diesel engine. Look forward to more vids.

RIP Ed. He was one of the first people i subscribed to and if it was no for him i would no have found so many other You tubers like you.

As glad as I am to see a new upload from you, I only wish it were under far happier circumstances. I'm very sorry to hear of Ed's passing. It is a big loss, and truly came as a shock. That's really all I've got.

It's been a few weeks since his passing. I'm still not able to process it. I never met him in person, but I feel like I have. I feel like I've lost a close friend.

Still can't believe his gone... Been an inspiration to me when I grew up. Rip Ed 😢

Very sad......... :( R.I.P. Aussie50 Looking forward for new videos of you,V8Jagnut...

Thanks so much Brad! So good to hear from you! Thinking of you and Ed’s family and friends.Take care and look forward to seeing more from you....👍🇦🇺

RIP Ed, I was wondering where he got to, followed Ed on his adventures for years, he was a great inspiration and good laugh and entertainment. He was unique and will be dearly missed, genuinely shed a tear for you and his family, I wouldnt have begun half my projects if Ed's videos weren't there to motivate me or teach me new things, I started watching him when I was 16, am now 22, and even know I never new him on a personal level I can personally thank him for his input and and all the laughs he gave us. Spoke to him quite a few times over youtube was always informative and willing to help/answer any questions I had, I hope he passed painfully, and now can live forever in our memories, thank you for sharing this I really do appreciate it, was wondering where my favorite youtuber went, suppose I'll now go re-watch some videos in his honour.

Jagnut, My name is Scott. I sent Ed his HYAGOIN Arizona plate that he has in his shed. I will miss him much, Look forward to some new videos from you . Hope to see the plate again, I have its twin in my garage here.

I'm at a loss for words. I really enjoyed watching his videos. His channel was how I found your videos as well. I can't believe he's gone :-( RIP mate.

Wow Ed was such a brilliant guy, cant believe he is gone. He will be dearly missed by many

My severely belated condolences. I loved watching his videos and subscribed to him years ago. It was only today (Jan. 28, 2020) that in an unrelated search that I read in Rinoa's video title the bad news, then I watched Big Clive's brief memorial video discussing the news. Again, great times, and sad, sad news, posted by a fan in the sister commonwealth nation of Canada.

Condolences V8jagnut. Yourself and Ed taught me more about pushrod engines than anyone on the planet. Safe travels on the onward journey ed. RIP

Brad, you and Ed gave me and so many others a lot of inspiration and you both have shared so much of your knowledge. That kind of thing is hard to measure and put a value on. He will be sorely missed....RIP Ed / Aussie50 I hope that you are well, and will continue to share your projects and ideas with us.

Thank you, Brad for your words. I'd also like to thank you for your videos and your appearances in Ed's - whenever you two were in a video together I knew something or another would get LOUD. ;-) Sorry for the loss of your friend and an excellent youtuber. Cheers

Gosh its good to hear your voice again.

Aussie50 being the first youtube channel I subbed to, and an inspiration for me to create my channel and choose the career I chose, this is very tough news to hear, and I know for countless others as well. RIP Ed, you will be missed.

That little diesel is one of my favorite engines. Hope to see you more you, I miss your videos. I miss and love ed very much.

Such sad news. I hope heaven has a scrap yard and a milling machine... something for Ed to doo RIP buddy

Ive stayed quiet about ed passing, I really didnt have words. I finally can say, I miss him, I cherish your heart. I still get choked up. He was an inspiration in my teens as are you. It was the coolest when we chatted over KZfaq about something. Thankyou for keeping his memory living with the machines he had revived. If I ever get the chance I'll come by and we can have a pint in honor of.

Thank you for this video. I'll link his mercedes videos on the ML70 facebook page, they have so much valuable information for the ML270 community. Gonna miss his casual style, we all are.

You and Ed were my first two KZfaq subscriptions. I am super happy to see you upload again. I thought you might have given it up. I still don't know what to make of Ed's death. But he was a great inspiration and I hope his videos go on to inspire more in the future.

am sure Ed's family will appreciate the help you giving to them.

Cheers mate. Condolences also. Ed was a good lad, and, very sorry to hear of his passing. Gone but will never be forgotten.

Thanks for doing this mate!

I miss Ed’s videos, always looked forward to them when I seen them came out, great guy and awesome teacher, he will be missed, and good to see you again v8 jagnut! Look forward to the new and old videos

Condolences to Ed's family and friends.. This channel and Ed's were some of the first channels I ever watched.. After 10 years of viewing, his passion, knowledge, and humor will be missed greatly..

RIP ED. thanks for the video update I was wondering what was going to happen to all of ED's stuff. Wasn't the house Ed's dads house ? is there an obituary somewhere where we can leave messages ?

This is one video I didn't want to see on here. When I saw the news he had passed I thought of you. He will be sorely missed, maybe not by old washing machines, but by his family, friends, and youtubers all over the world.

I hope you're doing ok, V8. Gosh it's only been 2 years. Never met Ed but he brightened so many of our lives.

I’m sorry to hear this. I always loved watching his videos. May he Rest In Peace.

I found Ed via the washing machine destructions but he's posted so much genuinely interesting and knowledgeable stuff as well. Had I not delved into his channel years ago, I probably wouldn't have been into tinkering nearly as much as I am today. I'm just deeply shocked by the news, and wish you and his family the best going forward. RIP Ed. Thanks for everything.

It’s nice to hear from you Brad. Shame it couldn’t have been on a nicer subject... poor Ed. Such a shame and very sad indeed. I started watching videos from yourself and Ed when I was 7 years old. I learnt some very valuable things from his and your content that will stick with me forever. Hope you’re doing as well as you can at this time.

RIP ED it was a shock to here this. good to see you again

I sadly found out Ed had passed by BigClivedotCom's video. I did notice that he hadn't uploaded in quite awhile, i used to love hanging out in his live streams of setting things alight or doing something destructive with a microwave, he'll be missed thats for sure.

I must admit, after the initial shock of Edd's passing, my second thought was that it won't be fun clearing out all his gear that he'd amassed over the years. I'm still shocked tbh, of course life outside of what we saw on youtube is a hell of a lot different but he always seemed happy on camera.

Aussie 50 and V8 Jagnut made some great videos together. You guys made for some entertaining videos. Will miss Ed's videos although he had not posted very much over the last year. RIP ED

Condolences to all, may he rest in peace. I truly enjoyed his content, all the tinkering and whatnot.

You, Ed, and Rodalco were among the first three KZfaqrs I ever subscribed to. I lament that I'd stopped watching youall's videos in recent past. I'm going to have to binge all of his vids now...

So glad to see you are back! Been missing the vids!! It sucks so bad about Ed he will be missed badly

RIP Ed. May He Rest in Peace. May God rest his soul and watch us above in Heaven! ^-^

Brad, years back probably around 2007 I started watching your videos daily, and thats where I got introduced to Ed's channel. Both of your channels were amazing and the first of their type, you both have so much knowledge and the want to teach everyone is a quality that is hard to find these days. Ed will be missed for sure. Sorry for the loss of your friend.

Congrats on the new place. It looks like your doing well for yourself. Thanks for the video update even though it is a sad time for us all... Best of luck as you work thru this difficult time.

So tragic, RIP Aussie50 😞

I am so sorry to hear that Aussie50/Ed passed away! I have really missed hearing from you and how you are doing! Will enjoy seeing more videos from you, my friend! Great to see your cat again!

R.I.P Aussie 50. One of the best youtubers of all time. It's hard to believe that a man with so many interests in life could go this way. My condolences to all. When you watch a bloke tinkering away in his garage for so long it's almost as though you know them personally. I would've loved to hang out with him and V8 Jagnut another legend.

It's good to see you again Brad. So sad to hear about Ed's passing though. It was definitely a shock to hear the news the other day. Looking forward to seeing you more often here on KZfaq again.

R.I.P Aussie 50. I was truly shocked when I found out he had passed away,much respect to both you guys.I used to watch all the videos you and Ed uploaded over the years and learnt a lot from the both of you with the mechanical and hvac stuff back in the day you guys would share on youtube which inspired me to upload some of my own stuff for a while.Good to see another video from you sorry it's not under better circumstances though,also my condolences to his family,yourself and other friends/fellow youtubers that knew Ed personally I would have really liked to have met Ed.

Wow, I'm shocked and sad. I discoverd Aussie50/Ed through V8Jagnut a couple of years ago and enjoyed watching his videos, such a clever guy. RIP and condolances to his family and friends. :-(

I remember his first vid, all the years back, just so so sad apologies for your loss bud RIP

As you say, sad times 😭 Ed will be sorely missed - he always seemed upbeat, even when things weren't going smoothly. Good to hear from you - looking foward to more vids.

RIP Ed , but good to see you, very sad news

I've watched Ed's content since, well, the days of that ratty old camera. Never saw this coming. So sad. Of course, I don't pretend to know Ed, but perhaps he was lonely? Folks, if you are depressed, or are even remotely thinking of taking your life, you NEED TO REACH OUT to someone, anyone! Family, friends, suicide prevention hotlines. To paraphrase Kurzgesagt's Loneliness video: "[Reaching out] is NOT a sign of weakness, but of COURAGE." Ed, you made a positive impact on more people than you know. RIP mate. P.S. Jillian got the DOOM ATM, right?

He was one of the first people I subscribed to almost 10 years ago. I really hate that I am just now finding this out. His videos taught me so much and opened me to learning how to work on and fix things myself. He opened me up to the world of youtubers like yourself that tinkers, fixes, and just teaches how things work. It's just incredibly sad that we've lost someone like him. I miss seeing you and Ed doing videos regularly and teaching us things while also just having fun and being destructive. I looked forward to both of your videos after work every week. I know life gets in the way and youtube being relatively dumb towards "smaller" content creators which disincentives frequent uploads, but people like you share knowledge and teach which is really what youtube was all about. I'm really going to miss hearing hearing his intro with every new video.

Holy shit, I'm in tears I watched him ever since 2010. He was such a great man and he will definetly be missed because I loved how he played with aircons and blew shit up. What happened to his dog.

Good to see a new upload. Sorry to hear the news.

Good to see you & Jack back. The bad news about Ed was a shocker.

Keep doin what your doin. I talked to ed on his last upload. Idk what to say. Very hard. Would like to Get to know you. Big void in my life now. Looking forward to vids from you. Starting the diesel lifted my sole 😊

Ive missed seeing your videos, good to see the cat is still with you. Ed will be missed, but remembered.

I’m glad his stuff is going to someone he knew; someone who’ll appreciate it and take care of it. That’s one good thing about all this.

Nice to here you back on here very sad to hear about eds gone I did love his videos killing stuff ect God bless him

good to see you post another video brad its been a long time. i was wondering how you are doing.

Good on ya, love a good bit of space out in the country

So sad i miss ed so much. I live is the us and have learned so much for him. Can't stop crying. U better but up some content. U are know his replac ment. Rip ed

I made a video about ED as well and I miss him I loved his videos

Very sad about the passing of Ed. You seem to be doing well!

if you go back to eds could you make one more video of his shop its such a legendary spot im sure some peopel would like to see it one last time eds videos have got me trough some pretty dark times i know exactly the engineers/tinkerer low points that big Clive talked about in his video

I'm still shocked by ed death, it still make me feel like shit. Both his videos and yours helped me pass though some of the toughest times of my life. BTW you looked like you've moved to my neck of the woods, if you want to catch up sometime for a drink or a chat let me know.

Just now learnt of Ed’s passing. I’m shocked, and a bit sick to my stomach. I was so used to him not posting a lot for a while but when I saw he hadn’t posted in many many months I can right over here. Saw the title of this video and figured damn, aussie50 channel must have been nuked for some reason. But this is worse then I could have ever imagined. Ed seemed so damn young too and looked just fine. I never Ed personally and he never know I existed beyond a subscriber count but like many I feel like I just lost a friend, a mentor, comedic relief, and mechanical genius. As passionate as Ed was about what he did I can only hope to find 10% of that joy in what I do. He was an incredible guy. Deeply saddened by his passing..

Shocked to hear Ed passed away. Unexpected. Just wondering why he died. Thanks for the update.

Gread to see ya back!! Still cant believe hes gone,

Cool that you made a video too bad it wasn't under better circumstances, is this the same Cat from before??

That was such a shock .. If I'd had known that he has these thoughts .. I would have made sure I could make him contact one of these helplines or go into get counselling .. but who ever knows? really? Such a waste. RIP man

It shocked me when i caught wind and i was in disbelief but it gets more and more real everyday. I am going to miss the brilliant mind. I had watched both him and you probably upwards of 6-8 years or more.

R.I.P Aussie 50. One of the greatest KZfaqrs of All Time.

i miss him but i met his chanel in 2020 but in 2022 i found out about it

Be well.

welcome back

Rip To Ed Sorry To Hear About Whats Happend He One Of The Pepole I subscribed Two When I First Made My Channel Back In 2011 He Will be Missed Was a Very Cleaver Person And Funny At The Same Time

quality control cat knows...

R.I.P

Gonna be a mission to get that big german genset out of there .. as it needs a cartrailler at least .. would kill your normal size aussie trailer lol

Rip Aussie 50

Do more videos please!!!

Dammit. He was one of the first youtube video i ever seen. When he obliterated that hot point washer. Absolute tragity him takeing his own life:- ( he seemed like such a bright and resourceful person i thought he would have thought it through a little better. Im so sorry.

R.I.P. Aussie50

so was there ever an answer to why he did it?

are you still doing videos buddy

V8jagnut sorry for the loss of aussie50

Such a shame, depression is a bad bastard of a thing

How old is he?

This sucks, sure will miss him.

I've asked a few questions - was Ed being bullied at work - was he sacked or something - I know he found it hard to work for people - someone commented that the plastic extortion mob really treated him unfairly - is any of this right or was it the final stages of depression that got him - I'm still in relative shock .

When did Ed pass away ?

This is the kinda video Ed would've made. Sad but here's how to fix it and here's the plans.

I hate to hear that

I mean why??

How come he killed himself?????

HOW DID HE DEE?!?!?!?!?!?
