Reddit discussion thread up now. Go and make suggestions!
Added 2017-11-11 16:00:19 +0000 UTCSo I've posted the reddit discussion thread now and as my patrons you get first dibs as to what to post. I'll post the youtube video asking for ideas in a few hours. So by all means spam what ideas you want to see.
If you don't have a reddit account that's fine too. Post your ideas here and i'll take them into consideration.

Finally worked my way through all the comments to date. There are some interesting ideas here; sadly some horrible ideas. I'm very torn in multiple directions. I love chemistry (I love science). I really enjoy watching the things I will probably never do and I get very excited about the things I can do and want to try. Big projects vs. small projects. Yes, big multi-step, complex, difficult things are sexy, interesting, educational, and really exciting to see the final success. While I may never make pyrimethamine, I have learned so much along the way. I wouldn't want to give up those learning experiences. Having said that, please, please don't stop doing small simple things between steps. I can and will (and already do) make my own reagents. I will synthesize and purify mineral acids. I will make my own metal salts. I will recover and recycle my chemistry when ever I can, but I have a lot to learn. Things I'd still like to see. We talked about concentrating H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) on Patreon. I need that. I need concentrated ammonia. I need safe ways to make, concentrate, and purify, other basic things. Sure, there are plenty of videos out there on some of these, but that doesn't mean they are good. I'd love to know how to separate metals better (like ferric chloride that has been used to etch unknown things like copper, silver, stainless steel, brass, german silver, etc. as one example). These things may not be sexy, but I can use them today, and there's an almost endless list of small videos there.

2017-11-14 04:16:49 +0000 UTCMy timing sucks. After reading all the comments and voting on many of them, I spent thirty minutes writing a comment on Redit and apparently hit post right after you locked the comments. Maybe the universe is trying to tell me something. Haha. So here it is:
