T-Shirt Announcement

(this is a repeat of yesterdays announcement, as email notifications were not working)

Hope you all had a great New Years. I'm very excited to announce that I have teamed up with DFTBA to make some merch. The first bit of kit we are offering is this t-shirt. 

The t-shirt features the Real Engineering gear tooth logo and the blueprint grid. I really like it, hope you all do too. I will be wearing it at VidCon Europe this April, so if anyone of you are there be sure to come over and s...

The History of Iron and Steel

It's almost 8 pm and I am finally putting this aside. Exhausted emotionally and physically. Not how I planned on spending this day! Out for pints for Tom now. Hope ye like the video! Please let me know what ye think. 

Apologies to the 25+ peeps for not having your names at the end. I felt it was a bit intrusive with the theme of my ending message. Will refund this months payment if needed.

Happy Christmas and thank you for supporting this channel! 

Why Are I-Beams Shaped Like An I?

Hey Everyone!

Tried to incorporate some of the changes you suggested to the first draft. I was a bit pushed for time on this, so hope it turned out okay. Pressed publish during my pitch to the judges of that young entrepreneur competition. The gamble paid off well, judges were impressed with the live analytics! 

Why Are I Beams Shaped Like An I (draft)

Hello everyone!

Here is the early draft for the next video, which is quite short. I feel like I could go into more technical detail on the explaination and clarify some things, but trying to keep this one simple and short. I'm interested in your opinion.

Going to be releasing it at 2 pm GMT on the 8th, which is when I am pitching to the judges for the Irish Young Entrepreneur of the Year awards. Gonnan hit publish as I start my pitch and have my live analytics and the video playing in th...

New Video: Burj Khalifa - How To Build Higher

The latest video is finally ready! A bit delayed due to problems with my old microphone, just invested in a new one using your pledges, so hopefully it shows in the audio quality. 

I also paid a small donation to the producer of the music in this video. His music is really cool and he allows people to use it for free. If you like his music check him out.

Thanks for supporting me and this channel! 

Progress

Hey Guys,

Thanks once again for supporting this channel. I used your pledges to buy new glasses this month, which were desperately needed.  I didn't realize how much I was leaning forward to see the screen. My eyes and back thank you! 

Today I found this video, which I had completely forgot about. It was one of the first drafts of the plane windows video, which now has over 1 million views.  I'm just laughing at how bad it is. The music, the script, the pacing. Everything ...

You are helping Real Engineering grow!

As some of you may have seen on my snapchat, I have been playing around with this new software called Newton 2. It’s basically a physics engine for After Effects (my animation software). It's really awesome, I can create joints and assign all sorts of parameters to objects. It's going to open a lot of new possibilities for my videos.

 I needed it for my next video to simulate fuel sloshing around in a carburettor.  It's not cheap, it cost 250 dollars, which is exactly how...

Update

Hey everyone,

Just thought I would give you all a quick update. I'd also like to get your feedback on a topic close to my heart.

So the decision has been made. I am flying home to Ireland next Monday. It wasn't an easy decision, but it's something that needed to be done to grow this channel to it's full potential. I am currently packing and saying my goodbyes and spending as much time as possible with my girlfriend. I also have a friend's wedding this Friday in the rain forests o...
