9:18 that is actually thematically appropriate for a Sokka themed episode. He often is seen getting wet or having something mildly annoying happen to him.
the bad throwing can be forgive since Sokka spent his whole life training to become a warrior for the water tribe and naturally would have been really good with the boomerang
"I can't throw it at peoples heads, and Nate won't let me throw it at his." Proof that Tyranth knows that Nate is not entirely a peoples. My guess is 1/64th Elf (Drow... probably).
I think nate is more Orc, or half orc, Elves even Drow hit ranged targets Nate barely hits them, and orcs stereotypically are not very great at accuracy.
@@VK-sz4it I disagree with your reasoning. It is very possible for there to exist good looking orcs and half orcs. It's also possible for there to exist very disturbing looking Elves and half elves. Basing a real person comparison to a fantasy race off looks then skills is not a great way to go about it. Going skills then looks is better because of the how fantasy wise skills are always rather stable over the fantasy races, while looks can vary wildly.
Ever since I was a kid I wanted Sokka’s boomerang (always had a thing for axes, I’ve got like 7). You made it look easy to make, so I’m gonna make one for sure
Dude, respect on the "Shogun Warriors" comic, not many people know of it! I collected the whole original run, had to rebuild it all over again a few years ago.
@marcogenovesi8570 Considering that most things in Australia literally just want you dead AND have the means to do it......I don't think a little piece of steel scares them. Probably some Freudian Causality type thing.
My first time seeing Screen Tested. I’m amazed you got everything in to a 15 minute video. I guess I’m used to Shad rambling on another 45 minutes for the same amount of information.
Yes new video!!! Ive been binge watching everything you had made since Ive learned about your channels. You rock!! ❤ And btw, great video! Your skills never stops to surprise me, be it combat skills or engineering ones. Good job! I only wish you posted more often. Tyranth teaaaaaaam!!!!! 🦖
Super fun episode, and under a timer no less. Great job! You never cease to amaze with how much fun you have while testing the boundaries of physics and fiction turned reality. I was worried about the ice chopper to the feet test, especially the added difficulty of balancing on ice boots, but you still prevailed. Maybe it shouldn’t have been but that particular test was the one I was most skeptical about going in.
It looks like you made a somewhat left handed boomerang based on the way it flies For reference: Right handed boomerangs have a clockwise bevel. Holding it straight out with the flat side on your palm, the arm you aren't holding will be sanded on the top edge, while the arm in your hand will be sanded on the bottom edge, where your fingers wrap around Left handed boomerangs have a counterclockwise bevel, so when held in the left hand, the sanded side of the far arm faces up and the sanded side of the arm in your hand faces out/forward When holding a left handed boomerang as if its a right handed boomerang, the sanded edge of the arm you hold will be facing you and the edge of the far arm will be facing down In your case, the far arm's edge is facing up, but the near arm's edge is facing you instead of out/forward, making it a mix of both. Perhaps that's how ambidextrous boomerangs are made? I'm unsure, I only know the difference between right and left because I used to want to make and sell boomerangs when I was younger. Growing up with "Ty the Tasmanian Tiger" made me love boomerangs more than any other thrown object as a kid
A couple of years ago I too made an aluminum Sokkas boomerang for my niece who wanted to be Sokka for Halloween. I found a 1/4 inch aluminum plate at the scrapyard and I gave it a false edge. We never tried to throw it of fully sharpen it though. I initially tried to forge one from steel but then found out how hard it is to get that sharp right-angle bend into an old leaf spring. Gonna try again with an old circular saw blade and just cut it out.
Plz plz plz revisit this and do more tests and maybe do a steel one when u have more time. I know u had no time but I would love a more in depth video on the boomerang. Not many people talk about it at all.
You and the operator really should wear helmets with safety glasses when doing dangerous stuff like that. The boots part and cutting towards yourself were really risky. Your hands, feet and skull were under constant danger during this whole thing.
Would be interesting to do some parametric testing when not on such a time crunch... steel vs. aluminium, various aerofoil shapes vs. flat sides, even different proportions and differential thicknesses for the small and large sides.
I just noticed that can of Imulsion, and it made me think "I would love to see a review of RAAM's blade from Gears of War." That thing is scary looking, but I don't know how practical it would be.
Hey I love the work you do on your videos , I would just like to put a request and or suggestion in , I would love to see you test squalls gunblade from final fantasy vIII, I understand you might not have access to guns but if you weld a blade to a modified metal airsoft revolver to test out its practicality, you might have to change the grip and maybe a few other adjustments to make it work properly, but I would love to see how you not only make it, but your opinions on actually testing it out , and I think it would make for a good challenge and an interesting video
If you want a boomerang to return to you it should be built with aerofoil sections, like the little bumps and carvings on it's side. And most boomerangs are either left or right handed to have better aerodynamics. When you throw it don't give the throw too much power from arm but give it a lot of power from the wrist. Also throwing it on a 45° angle helps. If there is wind adjust accordingly. There are great channels on youtube that teach how to throw a boomerang and get it to return to you.
Massive respect that you take the time and dedication to do that! Super cool, definitely a great idol for people who want to make weapons! Way to go man💪🏼
The secret to a returning boomerang is the way you throw it, you have to throw it upright in an about 45° angle that goes at least for the 3 pronged version of it and I can assume that this is also the case for a two pronged one
Sokka is also a child so it makes sense that he would be able to use it as a grappling hook when it wouldn't be able to hold the full weight of an adult
Nice work. Mind you in the show it never seems to do much damage as a thrown weapon (no kills or anything). But more as a distraction. That could be though as it was a kids show.
Tyranth, have you ever watched "Last of the Mohicans"? If not, there's a weapon in there very similar to the boomerang you're using called a gunstock warclub. In one particular scene, it's used as a throwing weapon.
after seeing this, i'm curious about the legend of Zelda boomerang, as a tested subject. it's just as big and it's made out of wood, also it's a great chance to show off wood working skills.
im a little late to the video and i said the same thing on the shadiversity video but the way you are throwing the boomerang (horizontal) wont make it come back to you, to get a boomerang to come back you need to throw it nearly vertical.
I still would love to see you guys test out the practicality of the armor and duel plasma gauntlet blades of the character Fulgore from the 1994 arcade fighting game: Killer Instinct An additional thing that I think even Shad would love as an idea for a future video, is to see what Fulgore’s helmet could look like as a real medieval knight’s helmet. Any thoughts on that idea Tyrinth?
Did you do angles on all appropriate edges? At one time I owned 5 Boomerangs that I bought in Freemantle. I never had problems getting them to return and the harder they were thrown the sooner they started turning.

Good thing we have the younger version of uncle Iroh testing those stuff
9:18 that is actually thematically appropriate for a Sokka themed episode. He often is seen getting wet or having something mildly annoying happen to him.
Mildly annoying is kind of an understatement
And let us not forget Sokka's propensity for doing something stupid that actually works.
@charlesesseltine7054 That boy is a genius. The mechanist said so.

Can't believe you actually did the ice shoes 😂
How could I not haha
That intro was fire, and the whole video had so much humor and entertainment value.
My Cabbages....
at $5 a cabbage I get it now haha
I’m surprised at how far I had to scroll in the comments to see this. I was about to add it myself.
Ahahahah
@@ScreenTested make Sokkas Metor Sword
there's no cabbages left in ba-sing-se
Getting a boomerang to return, even one that's made to do that, does take a unique set of skills
Lol I love the lick of the glove to check the wind XD
"Against my better nature, I'm gonna do something stupid" .... _against_ _your_ _better_ _nature_ , riiiiiiight. 😂
"My boomerang wont come back.. your boomerang wont come back... my boomerang wont come back..."
Australian historical cultural song.
he is just throwing it wrong for it to come back, not sure it would though but yer throwing it wrong for a return.
Dude! You actually made Sokka's weapon Cooler than it is in the cartoon!
I love that you started with a cabbage! MY CABBAGES!!!
love the editing to include the fact that it was Nate who broke it
"It's Boomin' Time"
This needs to need to be a meme.
Ever since I was a kid I wanted Sokka’s boomerang (always had a thing for axes, I’ve got like 7). You made it look easy to make, so I’m gonna make one for sure
Throw and release at 45° angle helps boomerangs return
Only ones specifically designed to return. A simple airfoil is not designed to return.
Giving me thought of Mad Max the little wild kid and his boomerang and that guy getting his fingers cut off.
That intro😂. It’s totally because you lost in that episode jk. It’s a redemption arc.
Netflix should use your intro as the show's intro.
I’ve never been on this channel but I am so thankful I found it through an an avatar video!
Dude, respect on the "Shogun Warriors" comic, not many people know of it! I collected the whole original run, had to rebuild it all over again a few years ago.
Great work! Even on a time limit the quality was still there. Keep it up!
I can't believe the amount of times you almost killed yourself in this vid, and once almost the camera person! 🤣
When he hung from the rope I was thinking "dude needs a helmet and safety glasses!" and then it missed his head by inches.

Squish squash, sling that slang. I'm always right back actha, like my....
BOOMERANG!
Super fun episode, and under a timer no less. Great job!

Honestly didn’t know you had your own dedicated channel. Great intro. Subscribed. Good luck with the channel.
8:26
"My cabbages!"
:-p
Reminds me of that guy in one Mad Max movie who tried to catch a steel boomerang without a gauntlet and lost his fingers.
I’m so happy i found this channel somehow I hope it blows up! Much deserved
Watching you guys compete is always fun. It reminds me of wholesome brotherhood.
I am glad you are returning to this... tool? Weapon? Thing!
Ive really been enjoying these. And i gotta say the guy can put an edge on things for sure
Nice work on the video and boomerang, Tyranth!
Of course you can throw a boomerang, you're Australian after all.
dude why i find you channel until now, great video hahaha
Beautiful landscape to throw them in
You’re a lucky guy to have that👌🏼

Even if they thing could be refined to return on a miss, I wouldn't want to tray catching it.

Another very fun video to watch. Thanks Tyranth. Musical greetings from Belgium, Gunther (singer and lyrics writer of Gabriel Scar)
i never noticed Sokka used Boomerang as a grappling hook to get into the library, thats amazing
You really should have been wearing a full face helmet when you were testing it as a grappling hook, that thing came down at quite a speed.
This was crazy but amazing too. Thanks for all your hard work for us. Take Care and Stay Safe.
You and the operator really should wear helmets with safety glasses when doing dangerous stuff like that. The boots part and cutting towards yourself were really risky. Your hands, feet and skull were under constant danger during this whole thing.
I'm so glad you didn't die in the grappling hook section. Careful please Ty we'd like to see a lot more of you ❤️
funnyl and interesting video. Thank you Tyranth 👍🏻
Makes me think, Sokka's prowess with the boomerang might've been an indication of what his strengths as a person was and will be.
He triggered my anxiety when he stood on a wobbly block of wood on boots with ice while holding a sharp boomerang
"Water... Earth... Fire... Bootychatter."
Cool video. I’d drop the timer thing tho cuz it messes with the quality
Cool build/test/video. I like that you don't act like a know-it-all like you know who and your funnier and just as knowledgeable.
Would be interesting to do some parametric testing when not on such a time crunch... steel vs. aluminium, various aerofoil shapes vs. flat sides, even different proportions and differential thicknesses for the small and large sides.

the fact it's aluminum and did this well.. is awesome
What a beautiful garden! Great video! EDIT: I sense a "Digger Tyranth, Boomerang Expert" incoming.
Could ya'll set up a group of targets and do a volley just to see if someone can hit one, since aiming for one target would be tough
Kind of a "swiss army" weapon, you can get a lot of different uses out of it.
It really is

Sweet! Really liked it! 😁
I'd suggest making two out of steel, one with an edge and one without so you don't have to worry about returning flying edges
Returning is propably a technique and experience thing too. Ya as a spring or Shock steel it would be a beast.
Sokka is also a child so it makes sense that he would be able to use it as a grappling hook when it wouldn't be able to hold the full weight of an adult
Nice work. Mind you in the show it never seems to do much damage as a thrown weapon (no kills or anything). But more as a distraction. That could be though as it was a kids show.
"Today I'll be testing to see if a flying axe makes an effective weapon!" 😋
Love this ❤😂
Your boomerang would come back if you put aerodynamic curves of back of each leading edge that’s where you get the improved turning
Tyranth, have you ever watched "Last of the Mohicans"? If not, there's a weapon in there very similar to the boomerang you're using called a gunstock warclub. In one particular scene, it's used as a throwing weapon.

What about the inverted guard on deathstroke sword with that be a disadvantage or an advantage in a sword fight
That episode was fun lol

well done. you would have to be a monster of inhuman strength to make a steel boomerang fly / return ( even with perfect aerodynamics )
I still would love to see you guys test out the practicality of the armor and duel plasma gauntlet blades of the character Fulgore from the 1994 arcade fighting game: Killer Instinct
An additional thing that I think even Shad would love as an idea for a future video, is to see what Fulgore’s helmet could look like as a real medieval knight’s helmet.
Any thoughts on that idea Tyrinth?
Where did the timelimit come from? Or did I miss something in the video^^'
You didn't miss anything. My guess is, he was late to start for whatever reason while he wanted to keep up to a fixed schedule.
Did you do angles on all appropriate edges? At one time I owned 5 Boomerangs that I bought in Freemantle. I never had problems getting them to return and the harder they were thrown the sooner they started turning.
Nice as always 🙂
you should look up how to get a boomerang to comer back you don't throw it at a side ways angle. throw it straight up and down over your shoulder.
A good material to make something like that from would be titanium. It's kind of a happy medium between steel and aluminum.
Tyranth at the end risking life and (tree) limb for our enjoyment.
I would like to see Is tyrant learn how to throw a Boomerang and make it a functional.
