    This just popped up on my YT subscription feed...

    It's a behind the scenes look into the Stewart Haas NASCAR shop... tons of high-tech machining and fabrication stuff.

    I found it incredibly interesting.

    Long video, but pretty interesting. No country gets their shit together quite like the Japanese.

    Found this guy's channel about a week ago and fell down the rabbit hole.

    He makes home made pulse jets. Like, really, really good ones.

    This latest was "making the Dragon, just had to take it out for a run... it'll only be a short one, because, well, I haven't installed the brakes yet... or the seatbelts."

    My kind of attitude... proper Safety Third.

    You have to think that this guy is either single, his wife has no idea this channel exists, or she's lived with his shit long enough she doesn't care any more. lol

    Given that he doesn’t even wear a helmet, I’m guessing she’s either completely resigned to his insanity or doesn’t care. I’m jealous of this guy, though. Looks like an absolute blast.

    I know, right?

    I expect the conversation to go something like this, at 7am on a Saturday morning.

    He gets up, all excited, trailer pre-loaded the night before...

    "Hey honey, I'm going to do a test run of my new semi-controlled explosion thing that I call The Dragon! I could die doing this, so figured I'd go without any safety equipment, or anyone to help in case shit goes sideways!"

    "OK, honey... be home by 5, it's pork chop night."

    The “beast” kart video is wild. A giant grin on his face while the pipes behind him are quickly turning bright red.

    I expect him to turn around and have his beard catch on fire.

    Part of me is sure that has happened in the past, and that's how he knows how long to keep it.

    Dude is living his best life.

    I especially love the look on his face where he's not quite sure if he'll blow up this time, and then realizes shit's working as he hoped, and he lives to see another day.

    This is an incredibly cool video. As a stumbling shop slob, I am blown away by the almost medical conditions his shop is in, never mind the insane precision tools.

    It's a hell of a marketing video.

    Been watching this fellow for a little while recently, and I've been loving it. One of the few channels that I will generally set it to play at 1.25x and watch the whole thing.

    Smarter Every Day's most recent video is about tool and die manufacturing, and they go over a few things like progressive stamping.

    It was pretty damn interesting.
