This is a tour of the Kyowa Co. Ltd. rubber band factory, detailing how the snappy bands are made step by step. Kyowa has been making rubber bands since 1923 (happy 100 year anniversary!), so clearly they know what they’re doing. Me? I never have the slightest clue what I’m

17 months of design and experimentation in the making, this is a video of Youtuber Think Flight setting the world record for largest rubber band powered airplane, with a 16-foot wingspan flying machine. That’s cool, all my rubber band airplanes always ended up on the roof and me crying about

Inspired by Drogon from Game Of Thrones, this is a video of artist Kevin Stone discussing the 15,000 pound “life size” steel dragon statue he’s welding together. It also breathes fire, because what’s the point if it doesn’t? And while it might not be full grown Drogon size, he was

This is a satisfying video of a man constructing a perfect cube out of sticks of staples. That’s fun. So, if you’re wondering why I just raided the office supply closet, it wasn’t just to grab enough toilet paper to TP somebody’s house tonight, but my neighbors have had it

This is a video documenting Youtuber Jake Carlini’s quest to build a pair of roller blades using two kid’s bikes. He starts with the version seen above, which proves impractical and basically immobile, even after lowering the bindings and adding training wheels. He then builds a pair with each skate
