00:00:13.820 --> 00:00:15.650
I'm Jimmy DiResta, and I'm a maker.

00:00:15.740 --> 00:00:18.450
That's a hip way of saying
I make things… like this.

00:00:18.530 --> 00:00:19.660
Pretty cool, right?

00:00:20.370 --> 00:00:21.200
Walk with me.

00:00:21.700 --> 00:00:24.540
For years, I made my name
as a toy designer in New York City.

00:00:24.620 --> 00:00:28.540
Then I realized I don't like the city,
I don't like designing toys,

00:00:28.620 --> 00:00:31.290
and to be honest with you,
I don't really like kids.

00:00:31.380 --> 00:00:32.920
It's not like I hate them or anything.

00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:35.630
It's just it's,
"Check out my little Timmy."

00:00:35.710 --> 00:00:36.550
I don't care.

00:00:37.090 --> 00:00:38.090
Look at my birds.

00:00:39.930 --> 00:00:41.850
So anyway, I quit my job,

00:00:41.930 --> 00:00:45.270
I left the city,
and I moved upstate to here, my farm.

00:00:45.350 --> 00:00:47.850
I got land, I got animals,

00:00:48.440 --> 00:00:50.480
and best of all I have this.

00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:53.070
The ultimate maker workshop!

00:00:53.570 --> 00:00:57.990
Inside, I have every kind of tool
and machine imaginable to make things.

00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:00.950
Pretty impressive stuff, huh?

00:01:01.950 --> 00:01:05.330
Really? You're labeling the table
like that's some sort of impress--

00:01:05.410 --> 00:01:06.910
"Bag"? We can just--

00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:09.370
Okay. Graphics guy trying to be funny.

00:01:09.460 --> 00:01:11.880
Can we please get on with it? Anyway…

00:01:11.960 --> 00:01:14.960
So I got a call to be on a TV show
'cause I'm a maker celebrity or whatever.

00:01:15.050 --> 00:01:17.260
I said, "Sure. Cool." Why not, right?

00:01:17.340 --> 00:01:18.300
So I agreed.

00:01:19.050 --> 00:01:21.050
Then I found out who I'd be working for.

00:01:21.140 --> 00:01:22.050
Jimmy!

00:01:22.140 --> 00:01:23.470
-Hi.
-Hi!

00:01:23.550 --> 00:01:24.470
Jimmy!

00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:25.390
Hey, Jimmy.

00:01:25.470 --> 00:01:26.600
What do you want?

00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:28.480
Okay, Mr. Grouch.

00:01:29.690 --> 00:01:34.150
Thirty years of expert build experience,
and I'm taking orders from half-pints.

00:01:34.230 --> 00:01:37.650
Because misery loves company,
I brought my buddies in on it with me.

00:01:37.740 --> 00:01:38.570
Say hi, guys.

00:01:38.650 --> 00:01:39.490
-Howdy!
-Hello!

00:01:39.570 --> 00:01:42.570
That's Jackman.
He's an engineer, and he plans everything.

00:01:42.660 --> 00:01:44.780
It's really annoying, but he's good at it.

00:01:44.870 --> 00:01:46.330
That's Derek, my best friend.

00:01:46.410 --> 00:01:49.540
Big guy and even bigger softie.

00:01:50.330 --> 00:01:51.500
This is Graz.

00:01:51.580 --> 00:01:53.080
Good maker, bad jokes.

00:01:53.580 --> 00:01:54.880
And Canadian Pat.

00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:58.460
Well, your guess is as good as mine.

00:01:58.550 --> 00:01:59.550
Let's have some fun.

00:02:03.720 --> 00:02:05.600
Together, we'll take pitches on this.

00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:08.270
Listen to whatever
their dumb little brains can come up with.

00:02:08.350 --> 00:02:10.520
The Pig Tripper. It trips the pig.

00:02:10.600 --> 00:02:13.270
-Wow.
-So a catapult that throws cat poop?

00:02:13.350 --> 00:02:15.150
-Yes.

00:02:15.230 --> 00:02:18.320
If it's interesting or doable,
I'll build it. If not--

00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:19.360
Next!

00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:20.610
-Next!
-No way.

00:02:20.690 --> 00:02:22.070
-Next!
-Shut up!

00:02:22.150 --> 00:02:24.030
-Some builds will be good.

00:02:24.110 --> 00:02:25.950
Dino Taco Toilet.

00:02:26.030 --> 00:02:27.530
Are you not entertained?

00:02:27.620 --> 00:02:29.200
Some builds will be bad.

00:02:29.290 --> 00:02:31.540
Graz, I told you
the scissors were gonna be too heavy!

00:02:31.620 --> 00:02:32.670
Make a bigger handle!

00:02:32.750 --> 00:02:34.790
But all of them
will be absolutely pointless.

00:02:34.880 --> 00:02:37.000
-Yeah!
-That is disgusting.

00:02:38.250 --> 00:02:39.920
Whoa!

00:02:40.510 --> 00:02:43.720
-I want the unicorn to fart!
-I can't believe I'm doing this.

00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:45.890
-Go, Graz!

00:02:45.970 --> 00:02:48.970
Why are we doing this?
Because we make things. That's what we do.

00:02:49.060 --> 00:02:52.020
-Thought we weren't supposed to have fun.
-I'm not having fun!

00:02:52.810 --> 00:02:54.810
We're gonna show these kids,
if they can dream it up…

00:02:54.900 --> 00:02:57.900
I want it to be a guitar boat that floats.

00:02:57.980 --> 00:02:59.110
You're onto something there.

00:02:59.190 --> 00:03:00.780
…it can be built.

00:03:01.780 --> 00:03:03.110
Oh!

00:03:03.200 --> 00:03:04.780
That is so cool!

00:03:04.860 --> 00:03:06.780
Hey, it might even
inspire them to build

00:03:06.870 --> 00:03:08.990
outside their little Minecraft -y world,
or whatever.

00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:10.910
-Do I wanna do it?

00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:12.500
Dumbest thing we've ever made.

00:03:12.580 --> 00:03:15.670
Not really.
But this isn't about me, is it?

00:03:15.750 --> 00:03:17.880
-So here we are.
-You better get to work!

00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:19.960
Funny how their dreams are my nightmare.

00:03:21.260 --> 00:03:23.260
Come on, Jimmy. Have some fun.

00:03:23.340 --> 00:03:24.170
Whatever.

00:03:38.426 --> 00:03:39.761
You wanna give it a crack?

00:03:39.844 --> 00:03:41.346
I don't know what the word is.

00:03:41.429 --> 00:03:43.598
There's a couple of good clues in there.

00:03:45.225 --> 00:03:46.184
Yeah, but I don't know--

00:03:46.267 --> 00:03:48.603
Let's try again. What's it say, Derek?

00:03:48.686 --> 00:03:51.898
"Derek can't… Derek can't read"?

00:03:54.484 --> 00:03:56.402
All right.
We have a few pitches, gentlemen.

00:03:56.486 --> 00:03:58.363
Let's get ready
and listen to some pitches.

00:03:59.072 --> 00:04:02.367
And our first contestant,
come on down. Oh!

00:04:02.450 --> 00:04:03.326
-Hi.
-Hi.

00:04:03.409 --> 00:04:04.994
And what are your names?

00:04:05.078 --> 00:04:06.955
Hudson. Henry.

00:04:07.038 --> 00:04:08.373
Hudson and Henry.

00:04:08.456 --> 00:04:10.833
-I loved you in Stranger Things.

00:04:11.876 --> 00:04:13.211
What's your name, buddy?

00:04:13.294 --> 00:04:14.504
Daniel.

00:04:14.587 --> 00:04:17.840
Daniel, are you on a pixel cam?
How's 1980 doing?

00:04:17.924 --> 00:04:19.676
Be nice. Oh my God.

00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:20.927
What's your names, guys?

00:04:21.010 --> 00:04:23.221
-My name is Kylie.
-My name is Courtney.

00:04:23.304 --> 00:04:24.847
What do you guys do for a living?

00:04:24.931 --> 00:04:26.766
I'm homeschooled,

00:04:26.849 --> 00:04:29.769
and I like playing dress-up.

00:04:29.852 --> 00:04:31.312
So does Graz!

00:04:35.191 --> 00:04:37.568
All right. You got me here.
What is your pitch?

00:04:37.652 --> 00:04:42.657
Our invention is a pair of skis
that are controlled by gloves.

00:04:42.740 --> 00:04:47.287
And the gloves control
backflips, frontflips, 360s--

00:04:47.370 --> 00:04:49.289
So remote control skis?

00:04:49.372 --> 00:04:51.499
-Yeah.
-What is propelling them?

00:04:51.582 --> 00:04:52.959
Um, like, engines.

00:04:53.584 --> 00:04:55.044
That go…

00:04:55.545 --> 00:04:57.588
Give… Give me something good.

00:04:59.465 --> 00:05:01.259
-This Butterfly Invention.
-Yes.

00:05:01.342 --> 00:05:03.761
It'll be a plain-looking box
with two passwords.

00:05:03.845 --> 00:05:04.679
Okay.

00:05:04.762 --> 00:05:07.640
Courtney's butterfly,
it makes popsicles inside of it.

00:05:07.724 --> 00:05:09.642
It makes popsicles inside of it?

00:05:09.726 --> 00:05:12.270
-Yes!
-Yes! Like this!

00:05:12.937 --> 00:05:15.732
-Jeez! They already invented it.
-All right. Well…

00:05:15.815 --> 00:05:17.275
All right, whoa, I have to stop you.

00:05:17.358 --> 00:05:21.404
I have no idea
what the hell any of this means.

00:05:22.405 --> 00:05:25.033
After Courtney puts her password,
she pushes a button--

00:05:25.116 --> 00:05:26.117
This is my nightmare.

00:05:27.118 --> 00:05:30.413
It is a life-sized board game
the size of my bedroom.

00:05:30.997 --> 00:05:32.874
-Whoa, humongous.
-Oh.

00:05:32.957 --> 00:05:37.086
And when you roll the dice,
then you have to go to the closest star,

00:05:37.170 --> 00:05:42.008
and then there will be your grandma there
trying to help you get through the maze.

00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:45.511
-Could be nice. They're just kids.

00:05:45.595 --> 00:05:46.679
Interesting.

00:05:46.763 --> 00:05:48.931
Didn't expect that.

00:05:49.015 --> 00:05:51.392
Do you realize
you just invented a death trap?

00:05:51.476 --> 00:05:52.810
Rocket-propelled skis?

00:05:52.894 --> 00:05:56.356
If you don't like it,
then why don't you make a comfort toy?

00:05:57.648 --> 00:05:59.359
-I'm with these guys.
-Yeah.

00:06:00.151 --> 00:06:02.403
This… This is an insurance nightmare.

00:06:02.487 --> 00:06:03.946
Kind of!

00:06:05.073 --> 00:06:06.032
Next!

00:06:06.115 --> 00:06:08.034
-No!

00:06:08.117 --> 00:06:09.535
If you land on a halo…

00:06:09.619 --> 00:06:10.828
So, what do you guys think?

00:06:10.912 --> 00:06:13.164
-You wanna do a life-sized board game?
-No.

00:06:13.247 --> 00:06:14.248
Doesn't sound exciting.

00:06:14.332 --> 00:06:17.001
-Tough for travel.
-I'm gonna give you a gentle next.

00:06:17.085 --> 00:06:17.919
Okay.

00:06:18.002 --> 00:06:19.337
Aw!

00:06:19.420 --> 00:06:22.173
Then, after you put the password in…

00:06:22.256 --> 00:06:23.216
Oh my God.

00:06:23.758 --> 00:06:25.134
Then crank it.

00:06:25.218 --> 00:06:27.637
-Crank it like this?
-Yeah. Like this.

00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:28.763
All together!

00:06:28.846 --> 00:06:31.391
One, two, three, point!

00:06:31.474 --> 00:06:33.768
-What?

00:06:35.561 --> 00:06:36.854
That never gets old.

00:06:36.938 --> 00:06:39.273
They're getting worse.
Maybe we'll get a good one now.

00:06:39.774 --> 00:06:40.775
Hi!

00:06:40.858 --> 00:06:43.027
Hello, young lady.
What is your name?

00:06:43.111 --> 00:06:44.487
-Brooklyn.
-Brooklyn?

00:06:44.570 --> 00:06:46.572
-Where are you?
-At Ohio.

00:06:46.656 --> 00:06:49.575
You're in Ohio.
Nice to meet you. How old are you?

00:06:50.743 --> 00:06:52.286
-Six.
-Six?

00:06:52.370 --> 00:06:53.996
Did she just give me the finger?

00:06:54.080 --> 00:06:56.290
She said seven
and then she brought it back to six.

00:06:57.291 --> 00:06:58.960
Would you like to tell us
what your idea is?

00:06:59.043 --> 00:07:00.920
-Yeah.
-What is it?

00:07:01.003 --> 00:07:02.547
A nutcracker.

00:07:02.630 --> 00:07:04.507
A nutcracker? Interesting.

00:07:04.590 --> 00:07:07.468
What type of nuts are we cracking?
Are we cracking walnuts, coconuts?

00:07:07.552 --> 00:07:10.471
It's gonna crack anything.

00:07:10.555 --> 00:07:12.765
-Anything?
-Okay. Now you got us.

00:07:12.849 --> 00:07:15.184
-Can it crack a watermelon?
-Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

00:07:15.268 --> 00:07:16.561
How big are we talking?

00:07:16.644 --> 00:07:18.479
Humongous!

00:07:19.605 --> 00:07:22.400
Tell me more about this nutcracker.
What else can he do?

00:07:22.483 --> 00:07:25.445
It has slicing knife arms.

00:07:25.528 --> 00:07:27.321
-Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:07:27.905 --> 00:07:30.283
-That took a left turn fast.
-It's gonna be like…

00:07:31.826 --> 00:07:32.910
It's like a Slap Chop.

00:07:32.994 --> 00:07:36.205
Why knife slicing?
You wanna be able to cook food--

00:07:36.289 --> 00:07:38.875
So it can destroy anything.

00:07:38.958 --> 00:07:41.169
-Can destroy anything?

00:07:41.252 --> 00:07:44.297
-What evidence are you hiding, kid?
-What is his face gonna look like?

00:07:44.380 --> 00:07:47.592
It's going to be fire eyes
instead of regular eyes.

00:07:47.675 --> 00:07:49.051
-Hey!
-Fire eyes?

00:07:49.135 --> 00:07:51.053
It'll be like…

00:07:53.890 --> 00:07:55.308
Where is this coming from?

00:07:55.391 --> 00:07:57.810
My brain.

00:07:57.894 --> 00:07:59.770
This is why I never go to Ohio.

00:07:59.854 --> 00:08:03.065
-Children of the Corn.
-This could be the best nutcracker ever!

00:08:04.442 --> 00:08:07.153
-Honestly, I think it's fun.
-Fire is always fun.

00:08:07.236 --> 00:08:09.655
Fire, breaking,
melting, chopping, slicing.

00:08:09.739 --> 00:08:10.781
Do it.

00:08:10.865 --> 00:08:13.201
-Graz, what do you think?
-Two thumbs-up on destruction.

00:08:13.284 --> 00:08:15.661
-Seems like a fun build to me.
-Love the fire.

00:08:15.745 --> 00:08:17.246
It's dangerous. I like it.

00:08:17.330 --> 00:08:20.249
It's the ultimate weapon of destruction
but holiday-themed.

00:08:20.333 --> 00:08:22.502
I want you to make my nutcracker.

00:08:22.585 --> 00:08:23.961
-I like it.
Love it.

00:08:24.045 --> 00:08:27.381
Brooklyn, we're gonna build
your crazy psychotic idea. Okay?

00:08:27.465 --> 00:08:29.133
Yay!

00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:36.474
This is the best idea I've ever had.

00:08:36.557 --> 00:08:39.101
-All right. We'll see you in a couple.
-Bye.

00:08:39.602 --> 00:08:42.271
I did not see that coming
from a cute kid with a unicorn horn.

00:08:42.355 --> 00:08:43.856
-Yeah.

00:08:43.940 --> 00:08:46.776
Come over to my chalkboard,
let me show you how to make it.

00:08:50.947 --> 00:08:52.782
I have a couple of initial ideas.

00:08:52.865 --> 00:08:55.910
Now, a traditional-looking…

00:08:58.246 --> 00:09:01.582
nutcracker has sort of
the marching band outfit on.

00:09:03.251 --> 00:09:05.836
-He's got a great physique.

00:09:05.920 --> 00:09:08.923
She wants the mouth
to crush all kinds of things.

00:09:09.006 --> 00:09:10.758
So we can make it so it'll crush anything.

00:09:10.841 --> 00:09:13.344
It'll crush plastic. It'll bend steel.

00:09:13.427 --> 00:09:15.263
-Bend steel?
-Yeah. Why not?

00:09:15.346 --> 00:09:17.557
Robotic arms that are gonna be like…

00:09:20.810 --> 00:09:23.646
-What if sparks fly out of it like this?

00:09:23.729 --> 00:09:25.398
-That's a good idea.
-That's pretty cool.

00:09:25.481 --> 00:09:28.943
All right. So the mouth will be here.
But since it's gonna be so big,

00:09:29.026 --> 00:09:30.945
and we want it
to crack all kinds of things,

00:09:31.028 --> 00:09:33.948
maybe we use like a hydraulic press
or like a log splitter.

00:09:34.991 --> 00:09:36.826
-Ah.

00:09:36.909 --> 00:09:39.328
We're looking at
maybe eight or nine feet tall,

00:09:39.412 --> 00:09:42.665
mostly made out of steel structure,
but with some elements of wood.

00:09:42.748 --> 00:09:43.958
She's gonna really like that.

00:09:44.041 --> 00:09:45.042
Who wants to do what here?

00:09:45.126 --> 00:09:47.128
-You guys wanna take the woodwork on?
-Yeah.

00:09:47.211 --> 00:09:50.006
I think segmented turning
the head, the hat, maybe the legs.

00:09:50.089 --> 00:09:53.009
Yeah. Derek, you and I will work
on the mechanics and the steel.

00:09:53.092 --> 00:09:56.178
-Of course.
-We need knives for the under the arms.

00:09:56.262 --> 00:09:57.513
-Graz, you take that?
-Yeah.

00:09:57.597 --> 00:10:02.560
I'll forge Freddy Krueger claws on one
and then a stabby or slashy on the other?

00:10:02.643 --> 00:10:03.561
That'll be fun.

00:10:03.644 --> 00:10:07.106
Maybe when we reveal this to the girl,
we can get her a therapist too.

00:10:12.361 --> 00:10:14.822
-Let's go get parts.
-Let's do it.

00:10:15.323 --> 00:10:16.282
To the part shed.

00:10:17.366 --> 00:10:18.326
Let's do it.

00:10:19.285 --> 00:10:22.079
Let's go. This way.
Come on back! Easy! Easy!

00:10:24.040 --> 00:10:25.416
Grab a handful of stuff.

00:10:27.376 --> 00:10:28.252
Let's go.

00:10:28.336 --> 00:10:32.256
What you see is an electric wood splitter.
This is gonna go up inside the head.

00:10:32.340 --> 00:10:34.383
-Let's go!
-Grab a handful of stuff.

00:10:34.467 --> 00:10:37.678
-Oh, baby!
-Come on back. Easy! Let's go!

00:10:39.013 --> 00:10:41.682
-Is that rebar?
-It'll be good. It'll be good.

00:10:41.766 --> 00:10:43.017
All right?

00:10:43.100 --> 00:10:45.311
He's got a good DeNiro.
You see his DeNiro?

00:10:45.394 --> 00:10:47.647
-He's good!
-Wow.

00:10:47.730 --> 00:10:48.773
How you doing?

00:10:49.899 --> 00:10:51.651
Turn my head the other way?

00:10:51.734 --> 00:10:54.487
-Go… Go work in the blacksmith shop.
-All right.

00:10:56.447 --> 00:10:57.907
Derek, let's get to it.

00:11:01.577 --> 00:11:02.703
First things first,

00:11:02.787 --> 00:11:06.832
we're gonna turn this log splitter
into the jaws of a nutcracker.

00:11:06.916 --> 00:11:08.959
In order to stand
this log splitter upright,

00:11:09.043 --> 00:11:11.754
we need to create a metal base
to keep it stable.

00:11:12.922 --> 00:11:15.883
We'll start by welding these bars
directly onto it.

00:11:17.093 --> 00:11:19.929
And to convert it
from a splitter to a crusher,

00:11:20.012 --> 00:11:23.349
we're gonna attach these metal plates
to complete the top and bottom jaw.

00:11:23.432 --> 00:11:26.936
Hopefully, they're strong enough
to withstand the seven tons of force

00:11:27.019 --> 00:11:30.731
this thing puts out, which is why
it can crush things like this.

00:11:33.150 --> 00:11:34.193
Whoo!

00:11:34.276 --> 00:11:35.569
It will crush.

00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:38.739
This thing sure can crush!

00:11:38.823 --> 00:11:40.199
Get it?

00:11:47.456 --> 00:11:49.083
-Yeah!
-Oh yeah!

00:11:49.166 --> 00:11:50.209
Oh!

00:11:50.292 --> 00:11:52.503
-It's hot as hell.
-That one went in my face.

00:11:53.003 --> 00:11:54.922
-Oh, it's smoking!
-Not bad.

00:11:56.382 --> 00:11:58.175
I think it will crush.

00:12:01.804 --> 00:12:04.724
Man, what a twisted little girl.
I like her.

00:12:05.599 --> 00:12:08.060
I'm thinking maybe two weapons,

00:12:08.144 --> 00:12:10.229
a smashy and a slashy.

00:12:10.896 --> 00:12:13.607
For the slashy, I'm thinking
three blades out of a hand

00:12:13.691 --> 00:12:15.234
that will be able to chop anything.

00:12:15.317 --> 00:12:18.237
And for the smashy, I'm thinking

00:12:18.821 --> 00:12:20.698
zombie-death-bat.

00:12:22.867 --> 00:12:24.660
I have some rebar around here.

00:12:24.744 --> 00:12:28.038
If I cut it in a bunch of little sections
and sharpen it,

00:12:28.122 --> 00:12:30.416
those would be like some
pretty gnarly-looking nails

00:12:30.499 --> 00:12:33.127
that I could probably weld
like a million on this.

00:12:33.210 --> 00:12:36.338
What six-year-old
doesn't love a zombie-death-bat?

00:12:38.340 --> 00:12:41.260
-Now it's time to cut some rebar.

00:12:42.887 --> 00:12:45.389
I'll cut this iron rebar
into 3-inch pieces

00:12:45.473 --> 00:12:47.224
by using an industrial band saw.

00:12:47.308 --> 00:12:48.684
Great for cutting hard metals

00:12:48.768 --> 00:12:51.479
and for cutting off fingers
if you're not careful.

00:12:52.521 --> 00:12:55.107
Rebar is reinforced steel
that's generally used

00:12:55.191 --> 00:12:57.318
for holding up concrete walls and bridges,

00:12:57.401 --> 00:12:59.570
and it's just about as dense as Derek is.

00:13:00.404 --> 00:13:03.240
Here's the thing,
just three feet of half-inch rebar

00:13:03.324 --> 00:13:04.992
can weigh up to two pounds.

00:13:05.534 --> 00:13:10.706
All right. Now that the rebar is cut,
let's make zombie spiky, sharp things.

00:13:11.832 --> 00:13:14.460
It's gonna be sweet.
We're gonna have a lot of sparks.

00:13:17.004 --> 00:13:18.756
To hone the rebar into sharp spikes,

00:13:18.839 --> 00:13:21.884
I'm using a belt sander
with a 120 grit count.

00:13:22.551 --> 00:13:25.513
Grit refers to how jagged
the sandpaper is.

00:13:25.596 --> 00:13:29.391
A lower grit count has coarser abrasive
that scrapes off the material quickly.

00:13:29.475 --> 00:13:32.603
Oh, look at that. 1 down, 900 to go.

00:13:32.686 --> 00:13:34.355
I'm using a very high grit count,

00:13:34.438 --> 00:13:38.108
which has a finer abrasive
that leaves a much smoother finish.

00:13:38.192 --> 00:13:39.819
That's kinda how I see myself.

00:13:39.902 --> 00:13:43.489
Gritty on the outside,
but smooth as silk on the inside.

00:13:48.786 --> 00:13:51.288
Okay. So this our model here,

00:13:51.372 --> 00:13:54.834
and in CAD what I'm doing,
all these lines are the horizontal lines.

00:13:54.917 --> 00:13:56.210
Those are gonna be all the rings.

00:13:56.293 --> 00:13:59.547
So each one of these
is 1 and 7/16 of an inch.

00:13:59.630 --> 00:14:00.464
Okay.

00:14:01.048 --> 00:14:04.176
Pat and I
are in charge of the legs and the head,

00:14:04.260 --> 00:14:06.178
which we're making out of segmented wood.

00:14:06.262 --> 00:14:08.430
You know what's fun for TV? Math.

00:14:09.974 --> 00:14:12.643
We're making
the nutcracker ten feet tall.

00:14:12.726 --> 00:14:14.895
We're just getting ready
to do the math now.

00:14:15.563 --> 00:14:16.856
I'm not even joking.

00:14:17.356 --> 00:14:21.443
So I'm using a program called CAD,
short for Computer Aided Design,

00:14:21.527 --> 00:14:24.780
to help me figure out
the precise amount of segments we'll need.

00:14:24.864 --> 00:14:25.865
Four,

00:14:27.241 --> 00:14:29.660
three, seven, five.

00:14:30.244 --> 00:14:31.537
Numbers, numbers.

00:14:32.121 --> 00:14:35.499
We'll be creating a bunch of wooden rings
that we can stack on each other

00:14:35.583 --> 00:14:37.960
to form the crude shape of each section.

00:14:41.589 --> 00:14:45.301
So we'll start by ripping this
inch-and-a-half butcher block into strips.

00:14:45.384 --> 00:14:49.138
That just means cutting the wood
lengthwise, parallel to the grain.

00:14:50.222 --> 00:14:52.641
After a lot of ripping,
we get a whole stack,

00:14:52.725 --> 00:14:54.476
which is great for two things.

00:14:57.730 --> 00:15:00.190
And, you know, doing our job, I guess.

00:15:01.984 --> 00:15:05.362
I'll be cutting each of these sticks
at a 15-degree angle,

00:15:06.238 --> 00:15:08.532
so when Pat combines them together,
he makes rings.

00:15:11.535 --> 00:15:14.288
So all in all,
we're looking at about 85 rings

00:15:14.371 --> 00:15:16.498
with over 1,000 individual segments.

00:15:16.999 --> 00:15:20.085
You might wanna check in with us later,
we're gonna be here a while.

00:15:24.965 --> 00:15:28.594
What we're gonna do
is cut the shoulder parts out of steel

00:15:28.677 --> 00:15:30.679
using this plasma-cutter table.

00:15:30.763 --> 00:15:34.266
In this computer, you can program
the shape of anything you want to cut,

00:15:34.350 --> 00:15:37.895
and then the plasma
gets to 45,000 degrees.

00:15:37.978 --> 00:15:40.397
So that melts the metal,
then we're dragging it

00:15:40.481 --> 00:15:42.983
in the direction we want,
it creates a cut.

00:15:43.067 --> 00:15:46.111
-So don't touch.
-Don't touch. Don't look at the light.

00:15:46.195 --> 00:15:48.656
I just hope
I don't get attracted to the light.

00:15:48.739 --> 00:15:50.574
Like you want to touch it.

00:15:50.658 --> 00:15:52.660
I have a stick.
So if you go near it, I'll hit you.

00:15:52.743 --> 00:15:54.870
-Okay.
-Here we go. Watch your eyes.

00:15:56.497 --> 00:15:59.750
To give you an idea
of how hot 45,000 degrees is,

00:15:59.833 --> 00:16:04.797
that's more than four and a half times
the temperature of the surface of the Sun.

00:16:04.880 --> 00:16:07.883
How do they know how hot the Sun is?
Nobody's even been there.

00:16:10.719 --> 00:16:12.346
The benefit of having so much heat

00:16:12.429 --> 00:16:15.557
is that you can easily cut through metals
up to one inch thick.

00:16:16.058 --> 00:16:18.310
Here, we're using
3/8-of-an-inch-thick steel

00:16:18.394 --> 00:16:21.605
so that the arms will be light enough
to be able to move freely

00:16:21.689 --> 00:16:24.984
but also strong enough to hold
the weight of the weaponized hands.

00:16:27.444 --> 00:16:28.946
That's unbelievable.

00:16:29.029 --> 00:16:30.823
The artist formerly known as…

00:16:30.906 --> 00:16:32.574
Oh, I get you.

00:16:42.292 --> 00:16:44.044
Oh, hi, neighbor. I didn't see you there.

00:16:44.128 --> 00:16:46.588
-Hi!
-Right now, it's time for welding.

00:16:46.672 --> 00:16:48.048
Yay!

00:16:48.132 --> 00:16:49.049
Remember, kids.

00:16:49.133 --> 00:16:53.887
The wonderful world of welding
consists of attaching two metals together.

00:16:53.971 --> 00:16:56.015
-And how do we do that?
-How?

00:16:56.098 --> 00:16:58.058
By high temperature arcing

00:16:58.726 --> 00:17:00.853
with this welding MIG torch.

00:17:00.936 --> 00:17:02.438
Ooh!

00:17:02.521 --> 00:17:05.441
So this is using
really high-temperature wire

00:17:05.524 --> 00:17:08.485
to act as glue
to attach the two metals together.

00:17:09.069 --> 00:17:11.822
So come along with me and take a journey.

00:17:11.905 --> 00:17:13.407
-So come along… Oh!

00:17:13.490 --> 00:17:17.369
So come along with me
as we make a zombie-death-bat.

00:17:17.453 --> 00:17:19.663
Can you say "zombie-death-bat"?

00:17:19.747 --> 00:17:22.249
Zombie-death-bat!

00:17:22.332 --> 00:17:24.209
I knew that you could.

00:17:24.293 --> 00:17:25.961
-Now, let's go.

00:17:34.094 --> 00:17:36.513
Metal inert gas welding,
or MIG welding,

00:17:36.597 --> 00:17:38.766
involves heating up wire so hot

00:17:38.849 --> 00:17:42.311
that it liquefies and drips
onto the area that you're fusing together.

00:17:43.103 --> 00:17:44.438
Ow, ow, ow, ow!

00:17:44.521 --> 00:17:45.355
Perfect.

00:17:46.482 --> 00:17:48.692
I'm gonna attach
the lower half of the bicep

00:17:48.776 --> 00:17:51.195
and then cut plates
that are gonna carry the springs.

00:17:51.278 --> 00:17:52.112
Okay.

00:17:56.200 --> 00:17:59.495
If we're gonna show
that this nutcracker means business,

00:17:59.578 --> 00:18:02.581
we need to build biceps
that could rotate on the shoulders.

00:18:03.999 --> 00:18:07.377
We're incorporating these rusty springs
between the metal plates,

00:18:07.461 --> 00:18:09.296
to add bouncing action to the arms.

00:18:11.924 --> 00:18:13.884
You know why
you decided to do this project?

00:18:13.967 --> 00:18:14.802
Why?

00:18:14.885 --> 00:18:17.304
You look at that girl,
and you know what you see?

00:18:17.971 --> 00:18:19.264
Yourself.

00:18:20.224 --> 00:18:23.644
-I got to bring it up with my therapist.
-I bet you were a destructive kid.

00:18:23.727 --> 00:18:24.561
I still am.

00:18:24.645 --> 00:18:27.523
You must have some story
where you did something stupid.

00:18:27.606 --> 00:18:31.151
Then when I was 14,
I swallowed a nail. A full nail.

00:18:31.235 --> 00:18:32.361
-On a bet?
-No.

00:18:32.444 --> 00:18:37.199
I had it in my mouth like a toothpick,
and I tripped, and it went…

00:18:38.325 --> 00:18:41.870
The doctor said if it doesn't make its way
through my digestive system in four days,

00:18:41.954 --> 00:18:44.164
they were going to go in and operate.

00:18:44.248 --> 00:18:46.583
Wow. Tell us about how it got out.

00:18:47.084 --> 00:18:49.461
Nature ran its course.
It came out the right way.

00:18:51.421 --> 00:18:52.297
I pooped out.

00:18:52.798 --> 00:18:54.883
Poop. Poop. Poop. Poop. Poop. Pooped out.

00:18:58.971 --> 00:19:01.390
Oh yeah. Getting there!

00:19:06.895 --> 00:19:08.105
Oh God, it's heavy.

00:19:14.111 --> 00:19:15.821
Every part of this is sharp!

00:19:15.904 --> 00:19:17.614
-Hey, Graz.
-Yo.

00:19:17.698 --> 00:19:21.160
-So what is that?
-I call her my zombie-death-bat.

00:19:21.243 --> 00:19:23.662
Zombie-death-bat!

00:19:23.745 --> 00:19:26.748
Didn't Brooklyn ask
for a knife or a sword or something?

00:19:26.832 --> 00:19:29.459
Yeah. But I kind of
took the baton and went running.

00:19:29.543 --> 00:19:30.419
-Cool.
-Yeah.

00:19:30.502 --> 00:19:33.088
-How heavy is it? Awesome.
-It's very heavy.

00:19:33.172 --> 00:19:37.050
Yeah. So you wanna test this
out at the ballpark or what?

00:19:37.134 --> 00:19:38.343
I thought you'd never ask.

00:19:40.387 --> 00:19:43.473
Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to Sunday night at the park.

00:19:43.557 --> 00:19:44.558
Let's go.

00:19:44.641 --> 00:19:49.271
And on the mound for the Lettuce Hurlers
is two-time Cy Young winner Paul Jackman.

00:19:49.354 --> 00:19:51.857
Watch out for this guy,
this should be interesting.

00:19:52.441 --> 00:19:55.569
And stepping in to the batter's box
for the Zombie Slayers

00:19:55.652 --> 00:19:57.154
and making his big-league debut,

00:19:57.237 --> 00:20:01.200
the man who goes by only one name. Graz!

00:20:17.257 --> 00:20:19.343
Now we got the biceps in place.

00:20:19.927 --> 00:20:21.929
Next I think we need to do the forearms.

00:20:22.012 --> 00:20:24.348
Hold on, here's the Magic Finger.

00:20:26.308 --> 00:20:27.142
There.

00:20:28.518 --> 00:20:29.478
Nice.

00:20:29.561 --> 00:20:32.481
We should weld up a big triangle
and weld the triangle right to this.

00:20:32.564 --> 00:20:33.482
Mm-hmm.

00:20:36.068 --> 00:20:39.613
To make the forearms, we'll use
one inch by one inch hollow steel tubing

00:20:39.696 --> 00:20:42.157
that we'll weld together into triangles.

00:20:42.241 --> 00:20:44.743
Triangles are often used
in bridges and housing structures

00:20:44.826 --> 00:20:47.746
because of how naturally strong
they are at absorbing force.

00:20:52.167 --> 00:20:55.754
We're gonna need that kinda stability
to support the weaponized hands.

00:20:57.923 --> 00:21:00.175
Now we got the rings all done
and sanded down,

00:21:00.259 --> 00:21:02.094
so all these are gonna get glued
into a sandwich

00:21:02.177 --> 00:21:04.096
that's gonna be one of the legs
of the nutcracker,

00:21:04.179 --> 00:21:06.765
which Pat is gonna mount on the lathe
and turn. Excited about that?

00:21:06.848 --> 00:21:09.685
Ooh, I'm excited!

00:21:10.769 --> 00:21:12.312
-All right, so now we--
-Shh.

00:21:16.650 --> 00:21:21.196
Okay. So apparently Pat
would like to do this build in ASMR,

00:21:21.280 --> 00:21:23.740
where you hear
all the natural sounds of the build

00:21:23.824 --> 00:21:24.866
but amplified.

00:21:24.950 --> 00:21:26.159
Let's give it a whirl.

00:21:29.037 --> 00:21:30.706
Listen to those ridges.

00:21:32.291 --> 00:21:33.542
Oh yeah. That's nice.

00:21:33.625 --> 00:21:36.920
Next, we need to stack
all those rings in order.

00:21:37.838 --> 00:21:40.173
Let's give that stacking a good listen.

00:21:44.094 --> 00:21:46.430
Of course,
we can't forget that glue.

00:21:48.432 --> 00:21:49.641
Listen to that glue.

00:21:50.892 --> 00:21:52.311
It's gluerific. Isn't it?

00:21:54.271 --> 00:21:56.857
Sounds kind of gross, actually.

00:21:57.399 --> 00:21:59.067
Time to stack again.

00:21:59.151 --> 00:22:02.112
-Sounds like stacking to me.

00:22:02.195 --> 00:22:04.531
Finally, prepared for the lathe,

00:22:04.614 --> 00:22:07.826
but not before
we get in a game of Watch That Washer.

00:22:07.909 --> 00:22:09.536
Let's give that washer a listen.

00:22:16.460 --> 00:22:19.421
Can you hear the sound
of that sweet, sweet washer

00:22:19.504 --> 00:22:21.548
just being all washy?

00:22:22.632 --> 00:22:23.467
And then…

00:22:26.428 --> 00:22:30.057
Finally, we put the washer
on the bolt and then we're done.

00:22:34.019 --> 00:22:35.937
Oh yeah. That's good stuff.

00:22:39.316 --> 00:22:41.526
And then we're done.

00:22:44.196 --> 00:22:47.199
Look! It's Santa Graz!

00:22:47.991 --> 00:22:50.410
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!

00:22:50.494 --> 00:22:53.413
All right. Nutcracker from hell!

00:22:54.122 --> 00:22:58.293
So each arm's gonna be doing this,
one smashy, one slashy.

00:22:58.377 --> 00:23:01.380
So right now,
I'm gonna concentrate on the slashy part.

00:23:01.463 --> 00:23:04.674
And for that, I'm thinking
kind of a Freddy Krueger angle,

00:23:04.758 --> 00:23:06.093
like blades for hands.

00:23:06.176 --> 00:23:09.096
I'm gonna blacksmith
four super-sharp blades

00:23:09.179 --> 00:23:13.100
and then weld them to a bar
and then that thing will cut anything.

00:23:13.975 --> 00:23:15.394
So let's get lit.

00:23:18.063 --> 00:23:23.068
I'm using a double propane forge
that can get up to 2,400 degrees,

00:23:23.151 --> 00:23:25.570
or as I like to say, "ouchie-hot."

00:23:25.654 --> 00:23:28.573
Well, I… I don't really say that,
but you know what I mean.

00:23:28.657 --> 00:23:29.908
Oh, it's getting there!

00:23:30.450 --> 00:23:33.495
Back in high school,
my nickname used to be "Hot Steel."

00:23:34.579 --> 00:23:35.622
No, it wasn't.

00:23:35.705 --> 00:23:39.084
The forge turns
the thin strip of metal red-hot,

00:23:39.167 --> 00:23:41.294
making it malleable so I can shape it.

00:23:41.878 --> 00:23:43.296
Let's move some metal.

00:23:46.466 --> 00:23:47.300
Get down.

00:23:47.384 --> 00:23:50.345
Let's move some metal.
Metal. Metal. Metal.

00:23:52.264 --> 00:23:54.766
Making knives. Making knives.

00:23:54.850 --> 00:23:57.310
Let's move some metal.
Metal. Metal. Metal.

00:23:59.604 --> 00:24:02.941
Making knives.
Making knives. Making knives.

00:24:03.024 --> 00:24:04.401
Making knives.

00:24:04.484 --> 00:24:06.903
Move some metal.
Metal. Metal. Metal.

00:24:07.529 --> 00:24:10.532
Now we have a cut blade.
Next up is quenching.

00:24:10.615 --> 00:24:13.994
To harden the blade, I have to reheat it
and then cool it down quickly.

00:24:14.077 --> 00:24:17.622
So I'll dip it in motor oil,
which cools the metal slower than water,

00:24:17.706 --> 00:24:19.958
preventing cracks and soft spots.

00:24:20.041 --> 00:24:21.001
Sweet.

00:24:22.002 --> 00:24:25.297
It's everyone's favorite part.
The sharpy-stabby part.

00:24:32.971 --> 00:24:35.891
It's time to weld the blades to the rod.

00:24:39.603 --> 00:24:41.563
Let's move some metal. Metal. Metal.

00:24:41.646 --> 00:24:42.564
Karate chop!

00:24:46.818 --> 00:24:47.819
That should work.

00:24:51.239 --> 00:24:54.493
Now we have a bunch
of segmented rings glued together.

00:24:55.076 --> 00:24:56.912
And this, my friend, is gonna be

00:24:58.413 --> 00:24:59.831
a nutcracker leg.

00:25:00.749 --> 00:25:02.250
This is my favorite part.

00:25:03.043 --> 00:25:04.377
Let's turn this.

00:25:05.337 --> 00:25:09.925
Turning this many segments
into one leg is, um, exciting.

00:25:11.009 --> 00:25:13.470
It is like an orchestra.

00:25:13.553 --> 00:25:17.015
Many, many pieces coming together
to play one song.

00:25:19.017 --> 00:25:23.396
I am the conductor of this lathe,
and this gouge is my baton.

00:25:23.897 --> 00:25:28.235
All I have to do now
is make it my masterpiece.

00:25:41.915 --> 00:25:44.626
Voila! A beautiful nutcracker leg.

00:25:48.672 --> 00:25:50.006
Knock, knock!

00:25:50.090 --> 00:25:52.676
-Whoa!
-Weapons are done.

00:25:53.176 --> 00:25:55.136
It only took you 18 days.

00:25:55.804 --> 00:25:57.430
Smashy and slashy.

00:25:57.514 --> 00:25:59.599
Let me see this thing.
This thing looks heavy.

00:25:59.683 --> 00:26:01.851
Whoa! That's gonna go on there like that.

00:26:01.935 --> 00:26:03.144
It's got weight to it.

00:26:06.940 --> 00:26:07.899
Oh, a bugle!

00:26:08.733 --> 00:26:09.985
So this is one leg.

00:26:10.068 --> 00:26:11.611
It's got really fat ankles.

00:26:11.695 --> 00:26:13.196
All right. This thing is kinda heavy,

00:26:13.280 --> 00:26:16.283
so I'm gonna have to figure out
how this mechanism's gonna hold this.

00:26:16.366 --> 00:26:18.076
-It's very heavy.
-It's very heavy.

00:26:18.159 --> 00:26:20.996
Especially once it's out further
and further from the shoulder pivot.

00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:22.455
-Yeah.
-Both legs done, Pat?

00:26:22.539 --> 00:26:23.373
-Yeah.
-The head?

00:26:23.456 --> 00:26:25.959
-Didn't turn it yet.
-Want me to help you with that?

00:26:26.042 --> 00:26:28.295
-Yeah. Please.
-Okay. Turn it together?

00:26:28.795 --> 00:26:32.382
-Oh, that's a plan.
-I hear you guys really turn heads.

00:26:33.675 --> 00:26:36.177
You know, I wasn't always like this.

00:26:36.261 --> 00:26:40.223
A constant need for approval,
using puns as a social crutch,

00:26:40.724 --> 00:26:44.936
it's kind of pathetic, I know.
But to understand how I got here--

00:26:45.020 --> 00:26:46.187
Come on!

00:26:46.896 --> 00:26:47.897
Get back to work.

00:26:59.909 --> 00:27:02.537
Attention, Jimmy.
Children calling.

00:27:03.038 --> 00:27:06.249
Attention, Jimmy.
Time to talk to the kids again.

00:27:06.875 --> 00:27:08.918
Brooklyn!
What have you been doing?

00:27:09.002 --> 00:27:10.920
Just living my best life.

00:27:12.964 --> 00:27:15.550
This is the part where you interrupt us
from finishing our work.

00:27:15.634 --> 00:27:16.635
I got it.

00:27:16.718 --> 00:27:19.971
I'm just here to check on my nutcracker.

00:27:20.055 --> 00:27:21.848
-How's it doing?

00:27:21.931 --> 00:27:23.141
We're working on it.

00:27:23.224 --> 00:27:27.771
So do it have knife arms?

00:27:27.854 --> 00:27:28.938
It does.

00:27:29.731 --> 00:27:32.192
Graz is working
on the smashy parts for the hands.

00:27:32.275 --> 00:27:34.527
Is it gigantic?

00:27:34.611 --> 00:27:37.906
Do you see that?
That's the head and the hat alone.

00:27:39.991 --> 00:27:40.825
Good.

00:27:40.909 --> 00:27:43.161
All right, let's get to it.
What are you here for?

00:27:44.079 --> 00:27:46.414
He has to make a smoothie.

00:27:46.498 --> 00:27:48.291
What? More?

00:27:49.167 --> 00:27:51.586
But wait, there's more!

00:27:52.170 --> 00:27:54.756
A smoothie coming out of a nutcracker?

00:27:55.423 --> 00:28:00.220
A vanilla smoothie with gummy worms,
chocolate, and marshmallows.

00:28:00.804 --> 00:28:01.846
Ugh.

00:28:01.930 --> 00:28:02.931
Yeah.

00:28:03.014 --> 00:28:05.558
You know how they say
there's no bad ideas?

00:28:05.642 --> 00:28:06.810
Yeah.

00:28:06.893 --> 00:28:08.269
They were wrong.

00:28:09.562 --> 00:28:11.648
I know what you need.
You want it to make a smoothie.

00:28:11.731 --> 00:28:13.983
We'll figure out where we could
put a smoothie maker on it.

00:28:14.067 --> 00:28:15.068
Fair enough?

00:28:15.735 --> 00:28:16.903
Yeah!

00:28:16.986 --> 00:28:19.656
-All right?
-Peace out! Ta-ta!

00:28:19.739 --> 00:28:20.949
Thanks, Brooklyn.

00:28:21.449 --> 00:28:23.993
Where do we put a smoothie in this thing?

00:28:24.077 --> 00:28:26.162
We gotta somehow hack a device

00:28:26.246 --> 00:28:29.666
that's gonna be able
to make a smoothie then dispense it.

00:28:29.749 --> 00:28:31.084
Where? What part of the--

00:28:31.167 --> 00:28:33.002
-Top of the head.
-This is three feet.

00:28:33.086 --> 00:28:35.672
You have about a foot
at the top of the hat to play with.

00:28:36.297 --> 00:28:38.174
It has to come out of the nose.

00:28:38.258 --> 00:28:39.175
Brilliant.

00:28:39.259 --> 00:28:42.137
-Ready? Let's continue on with our tasks.

00:28:42.220 --> 00:28:43.722
I forget what I was doing.

00:28:58.153 --> 00:29:01.114
Welcome to Blenderville. Population, us.

00:29:01.197 --> 00:29:02.323
We got a blender blade here.

00:29:02.407 --> 00:29:04.451
Thinking of attaching this
to one of these containers?

00:29:04.534 --> 00:29:08.037
-I am. So the first part is to cut a hole…
-Sure.

00:29:08.121 --> 00:29:09.748
…mount the blade in there.

00:29:09.831 --> 00:29:12.500
We have to figure out a way
to get the smoothie out.

00:29:12.584 --> 00:29:14.794
-Right. I like the big tube.
-Yeah.

00:29:14.878 --> 00:29:17.672
This would stick through the nose
almost all the way through it.

00:29:17.756 --> 00:29:20.175
Yeah. Then we seal everything
with some silicone

00:29:20.258 --> 00:29:22.010
and just plop it in the head and…

00:29:22.677 --> 00:29:23.678
Okay.

00:29:24.179 --> 00:29:26.181
Just above
the top of the log splitter,

00:29:26.264 --> 00:29:29.851
we'll add the blender base
and attach this large plastic jug

00:29:29.934 --> 00:29:31.686
that we'll have to cut in half.

00:29:31.770 --> 00:29:34.522
Then we'll run a plastic tube
from the bottom of the jug

00:29:34.606 --> 00:29:36.441
that will feed out of the nose.

00:29:37.734 --> 00:29:40.320
I made this chunk of wood here.
I figured that'll be the nose.

00:29:40.403 --> 00:29:41.404
Okay.

00:29:42.530 --> 00:29:44.365
Let me just… Model for me?

00:29:46.493 --> 00:29:48.411
All right, I think that'll be perfect.

00:29:55.293 --> 00:29:58.671
Now we need to put
the mechanics in place to power the arms.

00:29:58.755 --> 00:30:01.466
So what I need to do
is make a rest for this gear,

00:30:01.549 --> 00:30:05.220
and then I need to make a drive pin
that's gonna make this go like that.

00:30:05.303 --> 00:30:07.680
-Okay.
-Then we're gonna mount the motor here.

00:30:08.264 --> 00:30:11.768
The only way to see if this works,
is to weld it all up and give it a shot.

00:30:11.851 --> 00:30:13.144
All right. Let's do it.

00:30:17.774 --> 00:30:20.360
Derek and I
are constructing a two-pulley system

00:30:20.443 --> 00:30:23.822
powered by a 110-volt electric motor

00:30:23.905 --> 00:30:25.949
to move the nutcracker's giant arms.

00:30:27.116 --> 00:30:28.451
This is the link-belt.

00:30:28.535 --> 00:30:30.912
You could make them any length you want.

00:30:30.995 --> 00:30:31.830
Nice.

00:30:34.874 --> 00:30:36.209
Tack it in place and try it.

00:30:36.292 --> 00:30:38.962
And now we need
to attach Graz's zombie-death-bat

00:30:39.045 --> 00:30:41.339
and his knife-hand to the forearm.

00:30:43.383 --> 00:30:45.051
Let's give it a try. See what happens.

00:30:45.134 --> 00:30:46.177
-Ready?
-Go!

00:30:48.763 --> 00:30:50.265
-It works!
-Nice!

00:30:50.348 --> 00:30:51.474
It's chopping!

00:30:52.225 --> 00:30:55.061
Now that we have the nutcracker
smashing and slashing…

00:30:55.144 --> 00:30:56.604
-Hold on.
-Hold on, I got it.

00:30:56.688 --> 00:31:00.650
…it's time to add the head to get a sense
of what this thing's gonna look like.

00:31:00.733 --> 00:31:03.278
-Looks like a nutcracker.
-It looks unbelievable.

00:31:03.361 --> 00:31:05.071
All right. Let's bring this thing home.

00:31:05.154 --> 00:31:07.991
We have to install the blender
that's gonna make the smoothie.

00:31:08.074 --> 00:31:09.993
-Jackman, you're on the face details.
-Yes.

00:31:10.076 --> 00:31:11.452
Pat's on the boots.

00:31:11.536 --> 00:31:14.455
If this thing doesn't get done soon,
I'm gonna stick my head in its mouth.

00:31:14.539 --> 00:31:15.415
Promise?

00:31:16.791 --> 00:31:18.376
-Let's get going.
-Let's do it.

00:31:20.211 --> 00:31:26.092
It's the final push.

00:31:28.261 --> 00:31:29.679
Yeah. Go straight up, Jimmy.

00:31:29.762 --> 00:31:31.639
Good thing
there's nothing sharp on it.

00:31:31.723 --> 00:31:33.808
This nutcracker
weighs hundreds of pounds,

00:31:33.892 --> 00:31:36.144
so, in order to fit
the wooden legs to the frame,

00:31:36.227 --> 00:31:38.813
we'll need a forklift
to lift the torso up and off.

00:31:38.897 --> 00:31:40.106
Perfect!

00:31:40.189 --> 00:31:42.191
Of course,
every nut job needs a face.

00:31:43.484 --> 00:31:46.154
So from solid steel,
we'll forge a mustache.

00:31:46.237 --> 00:31:47.655
He wants to look evil.

00:31:47.739 --> 00:31:49.991
Jackman is using
the wood-burning tool

00:31:50.074 --> 00:31:51.868
to notch out the eyes and the eyebrows,

00:31:51.951 --> 00:31:55.496
and he's using a hole saw
to bore out the eye sockets.

00:31:57.206 --> 00:32:00.710
For the nutcracker's feet,
Pat is cutting up angled strips of wood

00:32:00.793 --> 00:32:04.422
that he'll glue together,
and that will lay over the metal frame.

00:32:04.505 --> 00:32:06.883
We'll cut this off here,
attach that into the base.

00:32:06.966 --> 00:32:08.760
-Yep.
-Then this will sit here.

00:32:09.510 --> 00:32:12.639
Jackman and Graz are working out
how this thing is gonna make a smoothie.

00:32:12.722 --> 00:32:13.765
That should work.

00:32:15.308 --> 00:32:16.225
Bam!

00:32:17.644 --> 00:32:18.770
Ooh, look at that!

00:32:18.853 --> 00:32:21.689
Of course, Brooklyn wanted fire
coming from the eyes.

00:32:21.773 --> 00:32:22.732
That's gonna look great.

00:32:22.815 --> 00:32:25.568
So we'll be using two propane burners
from the blacksmithing forge

00:32:25.652 --> 00:32:27.904
that will poke out of each eyehole.

00:32:27.987 --> 00:32:29.989
Looks good. Have them poke out more.

00:32:30.865 --> 00:32:33.993
-This is the nose here.
-Did you shape that nose after Graz?

00:32:34.827 --> 00:32:35.703
How'd you know?

00:32:37.038 --> 00:32:39.290
This is gonna be
one heck of a smashing…

00:32:39.374 --> 00:32:40.708
Slicing, crushing…

00:32:40.792 --> 00:32:42.585
-Burning…
-Juicing…

00:32:42.669 --> 00:32:43.962
Machine!

00:32:44.462 --> 00:32:47.048
-Look at those legs. Beautiful.

00:32:47.131 --> 00:32:49.217
It's done. I think
Brooklyn's gonna be happy with it.

00:32:49.300 --> 00:32:50.551
-Yeah.
-Yeah.

00:32:51.135 --> 00:32:54.514
-It looks like it's gonna come to life.
-It's kind of uncomfortable.

00:32:54.597 --> 00:32:55.765
Let's get out of here.

00:32:59.852 --> 00:33:01.521
Looks like
it's gonna come to life.

00:33:01.604 --> 00:33:02.855
It's kinda uncomfortable.

00:33:02.939 --> 00:33:05.358
-Come to life.
-She's gonna sic this on us.

00:33:07.944 --> 00:33:09.696
Guys, time to get Brooklyn up here

00:33:09.779 --> 00:33:13.241
to show her the deadliest nutcracker
this side of the Pentagon.

00:33:13.324 --> 00:33:14.325
Brooklyn.

00:33:14.409 --> 00:33:15.284
Okay.

00:33:16.452 --> 00:33:17.495
How are you?

00:33:17.578 --> 00:33:19.372
I am perfecto today.

00:33:19.455 --> 00:33:22.125
Very good.
You ready to have your day get better?

00:33:22.208 --> 00:33:23.209
You bet I am.

00:33:23.292 --> 00:33:26.004
All right. You wanna see
this monstrosity you designed?

00:33:26.087 --> 00:33:29.716
-Yes.
-Ready to see this weapon of destruction?

00:33:29.799 --> 00:33:32.510
Show me this nutcracker, right now!

00:33:32.593 --> 00:33:34.512
You ready to see this nutcracker I-R-L?

00:33:34.595 --> 00:33:36.681
-Yes, I am!
-Hit it!

00:33:49.360 --> 00:33:50.820
Oh, yes!

00:33:51.446 --> 00:33:53.364
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

00:33:54.657 --> 00:33:55.616
Yeah!

00:33:56.743 --> 00:33:59.328
Oh my God!

00:34:02.081 --> 00:34:05.877
What you're looking at
is 10 giant feet of holiday hell.

00:34:06.753 --> 00:34:09.005
Look at the giant head
made out of segmented wood.

00:34:09.088 --> 00:34:12.258
This is glued together
from almost 1,000 pieces of wood.

00:34:12.341 --> 00:34:14.385
Oh my goodness!

00:34:14.469 --> 00:34:17.555
The mustache is made out
of solid steel.

00:34:18.806 --> 00:34:21.893
Underneath that mustache,
we have a recycled log splitter

00:34:21.976 --> 00:34:24.896
that's gonna crush
anything we put inside of it.

00:34:24.979 --> 00:34:28.608
On one arm are blacksmithed blades
that are very sharp.

00:34:28.691 --> 00:34:30.485
Slicing arms!

00:34:30.568 --> 00:34:32.945
A bat that's designed to kill a zombie!

00:34:33.529 --> 00:34:34.405
What?

00:34:34.489 --> 00:34:36.824
The eyes are made
out of two gas-forge burners.

00:34:36.908 --> 00:34:39.869
When we turn them on,
they're gonna blow flames out of the eyes.

00:34:41.204 --> 00:34:43.414
Brooklyn, guess where
the smoothie comes out of.

00:34:45.917 --> 00:34:46.751
The nose.

00:34:48.169 --> 00:34:51.005
I hope there's no boogers in my smoothie.

00:34:51.589 --> 00:34:52.882
What do you think?

00:34:52.965 --> 00:34:56.302
Doggy says it looks…

00:34:57.095 --> 00:34:58.346
terrifying!

00:34:59.055 --> 00:35:00.306
Good job, guys.

00:35:00.973 --> 00:35:02.809
I wanna see this thing in action!

00:35:02.892 --> 00:35:06.771
Brooklyn, we're gonna slice, smash,
crash, and set some things on fire.

00:35:06.854 --> 00:35:07.688
Are you ready?

00:35:07.772 --> 00:35:09.565
Of course I am!

00:35:09.649 --> 00:35:11.192
Guys, let's get ready.

00:35:19.534 --> 00:35:21.661
Brooklyn, welcome to your nightmare.

00:35:21.744 --> 00:35:23.246
Oh yeah!

00:35:23.329 --> 00:35:26.707
We're gonna start by crushing things
in the mouth. Are you ready?

00:35:26.791 --> 00:35:28.417
Yes!

00:35:28.501 --> 00:35:31.671
-Want a watermelon?
- Let's see it crush!

00:35:31.754 --> 00:35:33.422
-Here we go!

00:35:33.506 --> 00:35:36.551
-Say goodbye to that watermelon!
-Oh my gosh.

00:35:38.261 --> 00:35:40.012
That's disgusting.

00:35:40.096 --> 00:35:42.306
It looked like he was throwing up.

00:35:42.390 --> 00:35:44.267
Hey! Who bought the nutcracker?

00:35:44.350 --> 00:35:46.394
Wait. Does that count for cannibalism?

00:35:46.477 --> 00:35:48.062
Say goodbye, nutcracker!

00:35:49.605 --> 00:35:51.190
No! Don't do it!

00:35:51.274 --> 00:35:52.108
No!

00:35:52.859 --> 00:35:54.902
Brooklyn, you ready
for the smashing and the slashing?

00:35:54.986 --> 00:35:57.488
Oh my God. I'm ready for the hands.

00:35:57.572 --> 00:35:59.615
Let us smash stuff.

00:36:06.497 --> 00:36:07.665
Oh my God!

00:36:09.458 --> 00:36:10.293
Yeah.

00:36:10.376 --> 00:36:12.378
It's not… It's not great, Graz.

00:36:12.461 --> 00:36:14.088
-My God.
-You failed!

00:36:17.091 --> 00:36:20.428
Are we gonna do fire eyes now?

00:36:20.511 --> 00:36:21.470
The fire eyes?

00:36:21.554 --> 00:36:23.347
-Fire in the hole.
Ignition.

00:36:25.558 --> 00:36:28.144
- Oh my God!
-Whoa!

00:36:31.230 --> 00:36:33.441
Look at it go!

00:36:33.524 --> 00:36:34.692
It's on fire now.

00:36:35.484 --> 00:36:38.321
Can we just go on
with the smoothie?

00:36:38.404 --> 00:36:39.822
The smoothie of death.

00:36:39.906 --> 00:36:40.823
Death?

00:36:40.907 --> 00:36:42.909
A smoothie
is usually healthy, Jimmy.

00:36:42.992 --> 00:36:44.118
Are you ready?

00:36:44.202 --> 00:36:45.536
You bet I am.

00:36:45.620 --> 00:36:49.498
We got strawberries,
blueberries, gummy bears, milk.

00:36:49.582 --> 00:36:51.584
Let's make smoothies!

00:36:51.667 --> 00:36:52.543
Just send it.

00:36:53.252 --> 00:36:54.962
-It actually works.

00:36:57.548 --> 00:37:00.635
More gummy bears! More gummy bears!

00:37:01.510 --> 00:37:03.346
Oh! Oh yeah! Oh!

00:37:03.429 --> 00:37:05.598
-Yeah, smoothie!
-Oh yeah!

00:37:05.681 --> 00:37:07.975
-Oh boy.
-Who's gonna taste it?

00:37:08.059 --> 00:37:10.061
-Pat. Enjoy.
-Here we go.

00:37:12.438 --> 00:37:15.650
-That is gross.

00:37:15.733 --> 00:37:19.362
Okay. Are you ready
to see everything at once?

00:37:19.445 --> 00:37:20.738
Of course I am.

00:37:20.821 --> 00:37:22.240
Okay. Here we go.

00:37:22.323 --> 00:37:25.159
Fire eyes! Fire eyes! Fire eyes!

00:37:25.660 --> 00:37:26.994
Slicing arms!

00:37:27.078 --> 00:37:30.665
It doesn't work anymore!
The arms got fruit juice all over them!

00:37:30.748 --> 00:37:32.124
Hey. The fire works!

00:37:32.208 --> 00:37:33.668
Burn, baby. Burn!

00:37:36.629 --> 00:37:39.715
Is this the nutcracker of your dreams
or of your nightmares?

00:37:39.799 --> 00:37:40.967
You tell us.

00:37:41.050 --> 00:37:42.260
Dreams.

00:37:42.343 --> 00:37:44.470
Thank you very much.
That was really sweet.

00:37:44.553 --> 00:37:46.555
Best nutcracker ever!

00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:49.225
Brooklyn, if you're satisfied,
then we're satisfied.

00:37:49.308 --> 00:37:51.310
Yes. Thank you.

00:37:51.394 --> 00:37:55.189
-Did you enjoy yourself?
-Best day ever!

00:37:55.690 --> 00:37:57.441
-Now get out of here!

00:37:57.984 --> 00:38:00.361
-Guys, clean up. I gotta take a nap.
-All right.

00:38:00.444 --> 00:38:02.071
Looks like
you enjoyed the smoothie.

00:38:02.154 --> 00:38:03.322
The smoothie was good.
