“We’re not finishing the driveshaft today are we?” No. No, we are not.
-
This video is peak SFM. Title - Build a driveshaft. What's in the video - literally never actually building a driveshaft. That's why I fucking love this channel.
-
38 seconds: "some of you want to skip ... we don't do that here." You sir, are my hero. The engineering is fun. The dry sarcasm brings me back to every video!

Really nice looking shaft Matt.
-
I’m taking a shot of tequila everytime he says ‘driveshaft’…
-
"we don't do that here" most epic line ever.
-
I'm a DIYer, and most certainly far from being an engineer, but I absolutely love that even professionals still have the same though process. Design something overly complicated and then realize that simpler is better. rinse and repeat.
-
Matt: Some of you would be shocked how many things are engineered this way... Watching this channel has made me aware just how close we are to going full Madmax... and just how far a head of the curve you are.

14:03 I made a constant torque rotation device out of a coffee can bolted to the flange , string wound on the can and a calibrated weight on the string . The radius of the can and the weight define the torque it creates. The calibrated weight was a container of water. I adjusted the bearing preload until the constant torque rotation device could no longer unwind the string under gravity.

As a ME student, I love watching your design, fab, and test process. It makes me feel understood that others work in organized chaos.
-
I love when projects have subprojects inside of another project. One time I was welding a roll cage and my Mig welder broke down. After 4 hours I had the welder working, and then my house electrical didn’t like the welding. 3 weeks later I was able to finish welding that roll cage.

You have become my favorite YouTube channel. The fine mix between sarcasm and engineering is the perfect recipe for entertainment. Keep it up!
-
Entertainment and frustration... all in one neat package.
-
I've re-sealed crush sleeve style pinions multiple times and done all of the methods, easiest and most repeatable is to mark the nut and flange, but torquing in stages and feeling drag has worked just as well - did it entirely by feel once then checked with a torque gauge and it was within 1ft/lb. You'd be amazed at how accurate a well calibrated brain can be.
-
I love the extreme lack of enthusiasm with how far the project has gotten, good luck with this man, amazing work so far!
-
Guys, we're living the good old days right now. Any moment now Matt's gonna get the two billion subscribers he deserves and even though he's done an admirable job at containing his ego up till now, once the general public sees him like the genuine Rockstar he is, it's gonna be all lifestyle vlogs from there.
-
"Because we don't do that here..." Brilliant!
-
Worth noting: driveshaft failure due to vibration modes like you described is a very common reason msnufacturers put a top speed limiter on a car, so it's very worth considering exactly why that limit was put in place if you are inclined to remove it.
-
The manner by which you crushed the haters right out of the gate was akin to a hole shot. Your reaction time is stellar.
