This should be a monthly “series” on the channel. I dig this
Shit man. I live this.
Agreed!
Agree 🤙🏽
Concur
I think as long he can put hacks in workplace why not or just small projects he’s needs to do or want to.
I'd watch hours of this. This is pure Van being Van and I love it.
+
I LOVE IT TOO!!!
We've all heard the expression "cut through the noise". There is a lot of "noise" out there on the internet, not to mention over-produced content with horrible music and a noisy annoying host.
Van brings us back to the early days of RUclips where is what simple and even soothing to watch. Thanks Van for being one in a million!
I’ve watched all of Van’s video from the first day he posted. This particular episode is in my TOP 5 Van’s RUclips Videos. Pure genius.
It’s difficult to choose a top-5 Van Neistat video, they are all equally edited and storyboarded, I’d watch them all again
I have to agree. Top 5.
Yes yes yes. This is what I want. I mean don’t get me wrong I love the more “podcasty” episodes or sneak peaks into your day to day, but I think you nailed an effective formula in your first ever episode and this is a return to it. (1) problem. (2) design and build solution (3) reveal and explain solution. It’s so satisfying. Keep it up!!!

The clip that stood out to me was the coffin you made for your son. That's the most heartfelt and special gift any four-year old could ever ask for! He will never forget it.
"Does this count as therapy or procrastination?" My answer, based on personal similar experiences, is "Both!"
Great work capturing and communicating this, Van!
I'm always amazed by how engaging videos without dialogue are--this one especially so.
Van, if you enjoy doing this the most. Consider make more this kind of video. We like them very much.
As a professional handyman / tinkerer, I have to give props to that sping/bearing combo on the door closer. Nice work.
That was pretty clever.
The best part of this is that some of the only words spoken are "close the door". Nice tip of the hat to the thing that keeps most of us old scrapers working - fatherhood. Cheers Van. Die trying amigo. 🍻
watching tis is theraputic procrastination... the best kind of procrastination. and for me this whole channel is the best kind of therapy...
I really like that door spring return with bearing. You always have such creative solutions.
I had my first flying lesson to start process to get a pilot license last week. Definitely wore my Spirited Man hat but didn’t seem right to wear my Spirited Man “Die Trying” shirt. 😀
Wow dude, this video came out of nowhere for me. I don’t know who you are at the time of writing this, but you’d better be damn sure I’m gonna dig as deep as possible until I’m certain I know everything I can about you, until I’m satisfied or too tired to continue, and resign myself to the sad truth that the expertise, craftsmanship, and sheer genius that has produced this level of content is something that only comes from a lifetime of experience, and is something I’ll never be able to replicate.
I’m only 1:30 in and you’ve probably sent me into a yearlong bout of depression. THAT’S how good this first 90 seconds is, and I thank you for your efforts, from the bottom of my shallow heart. ❤
As a shop/studio maintenance nerd I have to say that I enjoyed this video!
I have a spirited man brother his name is Benny and he taught me how to use tools. Looking at your videos has unlocked so many memories. He is like a dad to me. He taught me how to ride a bike with no training wheels.
It's like watching a magician, to me anyway. I'm amazed by Van's talent of seeing a need, visualizing a solution, then fabricating it from common parts. He makes it look so easy. I have close to zero talent with practical stuff like this. I can make a hash out of screwing a lid back on a jar. Which adds to the mesmerizing quality of watching Van at work. Just pure magic.
So innovative, I appreciate these non-narrated videos just as much as the ones that are narrated.
still trying to figure out why X wants a casket for his birthday, but huzzah!
To bury his enemies
Van Neistat is a genius. I don't know why and I'm not sure what that even means. I just know. When you see his filmmaking, you know he's achieving the artist's expression Tolstoy talks about. And then, after watching the video, you are different, you feel changed.
That was wild, the emotion I felt when you showed the box I had a feeling it was a casket before you showed it was one. Well done. As always well done.
Watching you mod, make, and fix things is my favorite thing about your Channel. Great vid
I call these kinds of activities “fauxductivity”. You are getting things done, but the effort rarely moves the ball forward
Between Van, Casey, and my skoolie mechanic, I am more and more adventurous in my repair and renovation projects. THANK YOU!!!
These videos really are something else Van. Thank you for sharing.
Leave it to Van to bless your day with an upload
Nice set of projects. I too suffer from burnout and there are a thousand projects to do where I live. Who cares about procrastanation? This is therapy.
Best video you’ve made yet. I was transfixed. Not only are the things you create incredible, the angles with which you capture yourself creating them are flawless and non intrusive. Incredible.
I want a one-hour long edition, so I can meditate 24/7 to find my inner zen :)
Would never get tired of watching videos like this
The speak’n’spell spell got the waterworks going up here… I found it quite therapeutic, while I procrastinate. Thank you :)
Please more of these types of videos.
Watching Van dig a grave for 4 year old bday present is not something I would have expected.....but at the same time it makes complete sense.
Please continue to document your various projects. I love to see the completely unique approaches you have to solving everyday (and not-so-everyday) problems. You have a beautiful mind.
Im an Industrial Designer and like all Industrial Designers I wish what my field has move attention (even thought we all deal with good and bad design every day ) it feels me with such joy to see you talk about Deter Rams and Braun.
I know how much effort each of those sub-1-second cuts took. Bravo.
That magnet mount swivel is pretty slick!
This video makes me feel pure joy.
ahhh i love this, no talking, no explanations...the videos to the explaining....i was like hmm why is he putting a bearing in a spring and then it was revealed that it was to shut the door and the "close the door" made more sense!
why spirited man loves Braun so much?
And he doesn't even shave...
He did mention in some previous video the Braun design team leader Dieter Rams, whose work in the 80s and 90s (not today‘s Braun products, those are just labelled) heavily influenced modern product design and e.g. Apple’s design language.
There is even a feature film about the persona called „Rams“ by Gary Hustwit, I can only recommend it!
One of my favorites right here man - pure gold
As a proud member of the pre-1000 patreons-club I wanna see more of this!!
Only at about 95% complete does the object become obvious, that’s the difference with a “Artist Handyman”. Loved it, thanks.
I love this style video. Could watch these all day. Thanks man keep up the good work.
I used to design and sell the 3M VHB tape ... it would vastly improve its performance if you either rollered it before removing the liner or at least ran the back of a knife over it with pressure .... loving these !!!
I love this video. Really switches up the pace. Super fresh.
I really didn't want this video to end
Van, this may not help alleviate your stress or burnout feelings, but I think I speak for many of your fans when I say that this is the type of content we love seeing from you. I love seeing your creativity and mechanical skills at work. Keep it up!
unlike elsa, your soldering job came out looking good!
Brilliant! Just love this.
I resonate with this completely!
I'm constantly fixing our building things like this to make life more efficient!
Love the style!
It inspires me to only try more of these kinds of projects....
This is my favorite type of van content
I like this format. Narrative format is awesome of course too. But this is nice to be peppered in.
Watching this is therapy for me.
i believe procrastination is therapeutic if we allow ourselves see it that way. the shots in this were incredible. your artistic voice was present even without any narration. great video, van.
I just finished a day of little projects - tiring but still charges my battery all the same...will sleep well and without guilt tonight my friend
I could watch endless videos of Van doing projects around the house.
You set the bar high on the Dadding, lovely to see 🌻
Love this - more project videos, please! Would love to see a long form restoration of something too 👀
How did the Neistat brothers all end up with the same craft-industrial aesthetic? Fascinating.
Research Tom Sachs.
This man is a genius !!!! He is such an inspiration !!!
Learnt a new word:
ma·ca·bre
disturbing and horrifying because of involvement with or depiction of death and injury.
"a macabre series of murders"
Less of a story line, but I looove it. Thanks van. I aspire to be like you.
This is *so* satisfying. One of your best.
You just might be one of the most talented people this planet has to offer. Simply perfect
The hounds lay beneath my feet tonight. They keep me to account. The plywood still haunts me, yet the howls of your poets touch, brings me back to this earth. These videos seem so real, more than any I’ve seen. I thank you for that.
Good one! So many tips in so little time.
I have the same problem, yours is just more therapeutic to watch! Mines just plain loud and disturbing to my surroundings and loved ones! 😁😂😂😥😊🙏
Not sure how I missed this one originally but it may be my favorite video on the internet
In this video I learned that the cap of a drafting pencil has a sharpener in it. Thanks, Van.
This is amazing. I am so glad i found this channel.
You as a "maker" is pure gold, and the videos would be less of a heavy lift for you (less burnout/more fun/ more time etc etc)....not an easy way out by any means, more so showing off what everyone really enjoys seeing and what you clearly enjoy doing.
Best of luck
It is cleansing to watch you create things
God. This silently work asmr content is the perfect fit for this channel. I'm so surprised and also happy that Van have found this niche/type. It will reach the non english speakers, and it's really satisfying to watch. Great combo for growth and maybe a little easier and more revitalizing for the slowly burning out content machine Van to create. Win-win👌🔥
WOW! That's one of the best. incredible
Does this count as therapy or procrastination? The same question I ask myself as I watch your videos. Love this episode!
So insane how thrilled I am to watch 6 minutes of you do what you love most
Very much therapy. It was relaxing to watch!
It counts as great RUclips content! It doesn't take hours of writing, which I'm sure is a great merit to your burnout. Impressive building skills, Van!
I could watch these all day! Thanks, Van! Hope you feel better.
That last shot when spirited man was digging.. 🙌🙌..
Great Video! This kind of contend is the reason why I am subscribed.
The spirited man in me looks forward to these videos.
Love the best spraypainted Braun logo
One of the best videos! Loved it
I think its a little bit of both, because our mind gets distracted if we dont imply the solution we imagined or calculated for our future self. its therapy because we dont make ourselves to do this stuff, it almost comes naturally eventhough its super difficult and we know how much work it requires..
LOL on that coffin at the end. I would have loved to seen how that went down on the day.
Totally productive therapy! I wish I had the skilled of Van Neistat.
Bone Reds, man that brought back some nostalgia seeing those.
The birthday present was so dope 😁
Panavision sticker on the GoPro! Classic
WHOA. I've used the exact looselead pencil for scetching purposes and I never knew it had a built in sharpener all this time. Thanks.
That was extremely soothing.
YES! Love this style and content.
Would love to see this as a regular feature.
👍 Therapy. Excellent for mental health.
I glued one of my sandals before watching this video.
Indeed therapy, I love coming up with little hacks to fix or improve things like this
Protip for hammering rawl plugs into drywall, put a screw in there just enough to bite and tap the screw, so you won't dent the drywall with the hammer. You won't damage the end of the screw and even if you do, you can always do the final fix with another.
I like you use of the skateboard bearings.
I would call this part of my daily work tasks, but I'm a problem solving maintenance worker at a retirement community.
I love watching you create.
Another Awesome video, please make more like this.
