      find me a professional production crew of any kind, we remove grinder guards because they are dangerous. If you ever used them in enough situations you would understand.
      It’s also the type of thing that adds a false sense of security to mouth breathers that don’t know any better.
      Tools that can bite should look that way, no sense in playing pretend.
      It’s like the blade guards on a circurlar saw, the only thing it does is protect my saw blade if I drop my saw, other then that it adds more fine motor complications then needed when operating a saw.
      I think the only real piece of safety features I’ve seen come out that make any sense are the stop brakes inside the table saws, but again that saves your finger but wrecks your saw but I guess it’s worth the trade not to risk losing a hand or finger.

      Well that depends. No yes he has the ability to pretty much make anything. But he doesn't do a whole lot of hot metal forging; which would wind up being the only means of forging in the apocalypse as he probably wouldn't have access to all of the electric welders and plasma cutters that he's currently using. So to properly survive the apocalypse he would have to integrate his home to create its own energy so that he can use those electrical components period or he would have to learn hot metal forging by hammer and as well as other options for cutting metal. on top of that he would need to learn all of the other means of surviving like growing his own food, purifying water, hunting and trapping, etcetera, to become a completely off-grid Survivor. At this point I've seen that he is a great maker. But just being able to make things does not give you apocalypse survivability. He would be a valuable asset to have on your team no doubt. But could they survive on their own outside of that is questionable.

    That is some damn good parenting. I mean "father and daughter fire extinguishing" is a precious bonding activity.

    She said, "In the F*CK*NG WOODS?!" like that was INSANE, but said "murder" and "my arms feel like c4" earlier, and he just says "don't swear in the video".

    Everything about this is so beautiful. A father teaching his daughter his trade and she's genuinely interested and learning. The family interaction while they both enjoy such quality time. This is probably one of the greatest and most wholesome things on the internet.

    nova has peak gremlin energy at all times, and is undoubtedly the most dangerous thing michael has created.
    mostly because he's traing her to make the same dangerous things as him.

    Your daughter did a really goof job for a beginner. As a long time viewer seeing the channel evolve into passing on what yoy have lerned on rhe channel to your kids and getting them involved is really cool of you as a youtuber and parent.

    “Don’t die Nova” good fatherly advice. Welcome to adulthood Nova sacrificing and reward. My advice is “stop, drop, and roll” if the fire gets you clothes alight. Also keep your hair out of the whirly bits.

    "My arms feel like they're made of C4" definitely an original statement lol

      This was me as a kid. Always with the weird twists on figures of speach. It really made me want to either start a family or mentor someone.
