Adam welcomes James Hobson -- aka the @thehacksmith -- to the cave while he's in town for the Open Sauce convention, and to check out components of Hacksmith Industries' latest proto-lightsaber hilt! James walks Adam through the anatomy of the hilt that is designed to allow for a safe mix of propane and liquid oxygen to create a wieldable plasma beam. We can't wait to see the end result when they complete this project in the coming months!

    -"Why is Bogdan crying? Is he in pain from the car accident? Is it because his Tesla was destroyed?" -"No... He's crying because he didn't get to meet Adam Savage."
  • @DieselGateFox
    Born too early to live forever, born too late to afford a house, born just in time to see a damn near real lightsaber being produced
  • @jphanks
    All of this from someone what is Bogdan now, 23? Brilliant. James was SO nervous. You did brilliant, brother!
  • @khronokraze
    This is the perfect example of "Why build it?" "Because I (we) can." And, that's a good enough reason.
  • @Diago767
    My favorite thing about this video is the stunned expression on Adam's face about the clean room . shows he really understands how crazy that is 😆
  • @forgiven36511
    ... Hard to tell who was more exited here... Adam needs to visit Hacksmith. Seriously, he needs to be present for the first "lighting" of the saber.
  • @pyroslev
    Glad Bogdan is okay. I imagine Adam was absolutely excited to see this and will want to be amongst the first Makers to use this. (The lad deserves it)
  • @edwin1watkins
    14 minutes of James being completely star struck and it is fantastic, you can just see the joy and happiness in James face the entire time. getting to meet one of your hero's and they end up actually being as cool as you always hoped, that's one off the bucket list for sure, and yes I am more than a little jealous. anyways, one of the best and most heart warming videos I have seem in some time, cannot wait to see the lightsabre in action. no words for how cool this is.
  • @vhaelen326
    0:40 "so we actually spent the last year now we built a class 100 clean room at our facility to make our own liquid oxygen parts" i have no idea what he is talking about, but adamns reaction is ALL I NEEDED TO KNOW
  • @hellomark1
    "The Powerloader's got your name on it" PLEASE ADAM GO VISIT! This would be awesome to see!
  • @gamefreak3072
    "we wanted to build a real lighsaber, so we built a rocket engine you can hold in your hand"
  • @proudtexan8521
    0:44 Adam’s totally flabbergasted off the cuff reaction is beautiful… just the rarity of him genuinely getting totally blindsided and left speechless.
  • @bmadan123
    It is so wholesome to see two guys geeking out like this. Made my day!
  • @telly93
    Now adam needs to go to the Hacksmith studios and look at the cool things they have!
  • @AndrewJamesStep
    PLEASE GET ADAM TO HERC TO DRIVE THE POWERLOADER!! I can only imagine his giggling.
  • @obvious3154
    Glad to hear that Bogdan is ok. He has been awesome since he joined Hacksmith and has come a long way. Can't wait to see this in action!
  • @PierceArner
    I cannot even describe the way that the smile has completely lit up my face through this entire video. I hope that everything goes smoothly over the next few months!
