Giant Robot Project : Part 21 (New Life)

[VibeRadiant]

You need your own reality show.

[aneelmattu]

Are you kidding me? You just built a road all by yourself!

[ParkerShippey]

#3:00 he is totally pulling a luke skywalker in empire strikes back!

[mruglyhands]

What about that other big giant workshop you were building out of trees?

[hristijank2]

holy crap dude ur a one man megabuilder, u made a path for the truck, made workskop, did i miss anything? oh the robot is in progress

[Feloix]

Jaimie, you are a Freaking god!

[tronulu]

is it legal to build shit like that in the forest? please reply.

[Digitalman271]

@tronulu Dude!!! Of course its legal!! There's no reason it wouldn't. There's no one to stop you either. Of course, if your on private property then it is illegal. Cause then it's like building your stuff on someone elses lawn.

[voidler]

dude how much speed were you on when you did all this hahaha

[Himi92]

HOLY SHIT

[utubeworms]

Holy crap dude, are you building your own road?

[utubeworms]

What's the deal with the chain link bracelets?

[Kaivalaginiviti]

@utubeworms Obviously to help build arm strength whilst getting on with every day activity :)

[SibSpi]

It's obviously too late now, but using some of the rocks as the floor of what seems to have been a parking lot of some sort might've been a good idea :P Otherwise to hold back the embankment in terms of rain etc, though using logs for that could work just as well.

[dudeglove]

Dude you're a fucking beast at this.

[NGC773]

Do you own that forest?

[magnusTheDead]

Holy shit, this is the greatest one so far. You, sir, are the best kind of crazy.

[tarzie84]

this guy is totally planning on building a robot army and to rule the world

[vovawasabi]

interesting drawing in the background where all the pieces are

[ejayking]

@vovawasabi haha I just noticed that aswell

[Madmonkeythegreat]

lol nice road making

[stan7040]

and you gilmourist? what are you doing now? eating chips on your sofa or safe humanity of poverty ? lol this man make what he want to do, personly i follow every parts of his project and that's greatful, and who can say that in a nearly future, robots can help people in terrible situation as moving foods in poor coutries!!!???

[Gilmourist]

all this for robots? dude wtf!! you should find a better purpose with all your energy. If I had your energy Id have solved world hunger. robots are just junk dude, no offense though because you are cool. but please !!

[UberMetallMaschine]

everyone would like to think they COULD solve world hunger, IF they had the energy, but you know? they cant

[Husvagn89]

your work is awesome and an inspiration, makes we want to build something :P, and may I ask, why do you have chains around your wrists? :S

[Doclockword]

Workin out his shoulders duuhhhhh lol

JK

[AtomicBleach]

Haha nice painting or drawing or whatever in the end of the video from 8:27-8:55. I'm guessing that is ur creation?... Hehe I can't believe I was the first to point that out... ur awesome!!! Rawr

[roguewarrior12]

you are crazy..... yet awsome

[Joelbitar07]

Greetings from Sweden!

you are a huge inspiration to me! And I realised I really have to start documenting my own crazy projects too, mainly for personal/nostalgic reasons. Basically Ive come to realize that once youre done with a project most of the fun dissapears quick and you mothball it to start on something new.

With videos you can revisit the good moments :)

Once again. thanks for beeing a source of inspiration!

[DIego12Moctezuma]

3:43 dude thats fu...g funny "i dont have 5 guys, it didnt come with 4 other guys" instructions hahaha

[Daffe]

Meh i wanna see the tree house:S are u abdoning it?

[F0gstridEr]

F""""ing hell.. you are like RAMBO!! :)

building your own road... hahhahah Bulldozer respect from /FogstridEr

[AurumOnline]

I AM A HUMAN BULLDOZER! BEELOORGGHH!!

Dude, I've been watching your updates for ages, I love what you're doing.

I may be in the UK, But the ways things are going, I'll be happy to donate sometime :)

[steampoweredlife]

new idol. :D

and that roof looks AMAZING!! is that your workshop insulation?

[JMEMantzel]

Thanks! Err... what roof? Crap, do I need to watch this video again? :-P MY workshop insulation is all the styrofoam boxes. :-)

[sp4zzpp2]

who's forest is that?

[JMEMantzel]

Its my forest, silly. Wait... which forest? My forest, or some other forest?

[conrad2468]

I see junk....u see POTENTIAL!

[JMEMantzel]

mmm... potential.....  YUCK, wasted potential!

[barthawkins]

I guess this all the stuff you can do when don't watch TV!

[JMEMantzel]

ha ha, exactly!

[suupertramp]

where do you get all your stuff from?

[JMEMantzel]

Well... i just came back from the junk yard. ...and got a bit of aluminium stuff.

I buy what I can't find. Mostly from surplus places, or wholesalers

[squirrelbong]

any new updates? I'm starting to have withdrawls... :(

[JMEMantzel]

heh heh.  number 22 is done. ...and uploaded. withdrawal aleviated.

[LaddieGalicia]

hope it goes well

[pwner34]

some people i know would call you a nut but shoot your a person who's absolutely awesome and fuck i hope the robot thing goes well and you take over America it need some new politicians XD

[Airclot]

"More giant robots"?

I for one welcome our Jaimie robot overlords.

[JMEMantzel]

umm.... I don't want to overlord anyone. :-P  That would be boring being responsible for so many people.

[bluemist649]

dude ur my hero

[JMEMantzel]

aw shucks. thanks. :-)

[JoeBot1234567890]

you likemy uncle but cooler

[jickers2]

wow your so cool...you seem like my uncle and look like him

[JMEMantzel]

he must be a crazy uncle. ha ha

[WTFMAKINGANACCOUNT]

Hey, are there any other youtube bloggers that are anything like Jaime? I'm thirst for updates, and they're just not coming. I'd love to have another to watch at the same time. Anyone?

[dirtTdude]

if you enjoyed JMEs Alaska log cabin videos you might like my videos, although I'm no where near as cool.. well, maybe close.

[JMEMantzel]

err... sorry man. Its not like I'm getting paid to do this. :-P Oh wait. I am... like a dollar a day! ha ha. ok ok, more updates coming. I'm taking the summer off from other peoples crap. (jobs)

[JoeBot1234567890]

can you make a video about your dome house? plase!

[JMEMantzel]

I made a bunch already. Look through my videos

[timmyd24601]

I have honestly just watched ALL of your videos non stop! I got recommended to them by a friend on facebook, and I haven't stopped watching them. You are truly an inspiration, I feel the need to go live in the middle of the woods and build my own stuff... thank you for convincing me that the entire world is not falling apart, there will be a little corner in Vermont (and maybe soon in Michigan) that is not going to fall apart... Thank you.

[JMEMantzel]

sweet!!! Let me know how it goes in Michigan. :-) Orrr..... just buy my place in Vermont so I can buy an island in the ocean. heh heh.

[MAXMEAFR]

when is the next vid cumin out???

[JMEMantzel]

uhh..... as soon as I make it. :-P I'm workin hard here.... on no budget. Well.... as little budget.

anyway... its my birthday on Sunday, so... I'm distracted.... and uhh.... my dog ate it. NO no, wait, I accidentally threw it in the garbage. No no, my MOM accidentally threw it in the garbage. Ya ya.... thats it.

[dirtTdude]

the banana building is awesome, almost victory donut time... the kind with chocolate on it.

[JMEMantzel]

mmmm.... chocolate....

[edjorg]

I guess it's time for me to dismantle the bum house so you can have more robot room. Besides, my porch is full of tiplapia boxes that need a new home.

[JMEMantzel]

heh heh. Ya, they're ontop of your bum house now too!

[saltwaterwop]

Thanks for the update video J...

It made my day a bit better.

How are you planning on using the fish boxes to insulate the flat walls ? Cutting them up and using the top/bottom/side pieces separately ? Or will leaving them stacked up somehow create insulation?

Do you have any pets up there with you? (dog/cat/fish/)

[JMEMantzel]

I'm planning to use the styroboxes just like bricks. ....basically. Lining the walls and roof.

I have no pets that I am responsible for. There are a few animals that hang out with me, though. Froggerford McToad, a bunch of chipmunks, the occassional moose stops by for a while... stuff like that.

[daddybear1965]

hey bud! its jeff! my goodness! you've got another building up.. now you need to build another wood stove to put in there to heat up the building to melt all that ice.. here in IL where i am, we've had hardly any snow! heheheee.. talk soon bud!

Jeff

[JMEMantzel]

Yep... i want to build a big woodstove for the banana building.

[dirtTdude]

yeah,  that's a large area to heat think big.

[JMEMantzel]

I'm thinking super insulation!

[Dazzacopley]

that should work and also i wish i could even know what to do to make a robot how did you start

[JMEMantzel]

I started reeeaaal small. I just started building things. ....and kept learning from what I was doing. If I can up to something I didn't know how to do, I'd try to figure it out.

For this particular robot, I made 4 small models before I got things worked out enough to build a big one.

[LocustsOfSteel]

Dude, you need to build some makeshift shelving and/or cabinetry in the workshop.

Building a giant robot out of hundreds of loose parts that are randomly rolling about the floor is just not going to work.

I know, i know, your probably getting impatient with that project, but in comparison to building a workshop its nothing.

[JMEMantzel]

I'll get chelves in there eventually. I have plans for lots of them. ...lining all the walls.

In the meantime I'll be happy for the ground to finish thawing so there isn't a constant supply of mud creating water oozing out!

[jimreaper]

Great to see you working on the Robot again (or about to) - but it's not as if you didn't have enough on your plate, what with building a road, clearing trees for the Banana building area, and the Banana building itself!!

[JMEMantzel]

Ya. ...the point of all that stuff is to make it easier to build things.  :-) ...like giant robots!

[JMEMantzel]

ohh.... I've been working on it. ...just no video worthy progress. :-P

[cartmill1]

I am in Construction Engineering here in Oregon and you should holler if you need any help (not like you need any). Jaimie I also think you need to brew some beer at the dome and sell it to fuel your projects. Call it the Giant Robot IPA?? Keep up the good work and continue living the DREAAAAM!!!

[JMEMantzel]

Thanks. I have eto say the dream is fun. ....lots of work, and really fun. :-)

I don't like beer, though. :-P

[breezebro]

I just noticed, did I hear you right? It's sounds like you said "I found "The Giant Sea Scrolls""? lo!

Way funny, but that would be the "DEAD Sea Scrolls"

Or you could use the "Giant Dead Sea Scroll Robot"

[JMEMantzel]

hey now. If I think I found the giant sea scrolls, I think I found the giant sea scrolls! I may be crazy but..... uhh... is that a banana? Mmmm, I like ice cream.

[madmodders]

I am still wondering if the banana building is anchored to the ground or not, and what would happen to it if the wind is too strong, and what if someone starts kicking at the (what seems like) loose cinder blocks...

[JMEMantzel]

not anchored. Its pretty heavy, though.

[futsalfred2]

i liked it better when you ad libbed

[RavenBoD]

Great to see you Jamius! :-)

[JMEMantzel]

Thanks. Great to see you too, RavenBoD. I have no idea who anyone is in here. :-P

[AMonteverdi]

yes this is something i ve been expecting yes !

[JMEMantzel]

excellent.

[Throckmorton0003]

Aye, I've been waiting to see what's going to happen to the tower also. To be honest though I'm pretty stoked to see any new videos. I've not been disappointed as of yet. Grats getting on the news, I was wondering how long that was going to take. Neat to see you sharing outside our realm :) Keep on keepin on brother.

[JMEMantzel]

I'll keep doin' my best.  ...until I drop dead. :-P

[kukelz]

cool, tnx for the update buddy :)

[JMEMantzel]

your... welcome.... huff.... puff....

[HDLCinCDragon]

Woot im in the flashback part of the video for a whole second! and im holding nuts! Glad to see things are coming along so well. I want to help with that floor since I helped a little bit with the ceiling heh it seems befitting that I do so :P Im telling you that icey ground would be no match for the pickaxe! Most of the dirt that needs relocation is in the back under the boxes. needs to be brought forward to level it all out heh. Maybe use the third floor and the spring dome as extra storage?

[JMEMantzel]

Ya, dude! Let me know when you wanna come up. You still have my number, right?

[jamesx6x]

Maybe you should write down stuff you need to remember about your projects on little sticky notes and put 'em on your fridge...

[HDLCinCDragon]

That would work if he had a fridge :P

[jamesx6x]

Hmm... I thought I saw one in his dome...

[JMEMantzel]

ha ha. ya.

[JMEMantzel]

fridge? I don't need no stinkin fridge.

[gordo4444]

Awesome! I can't wait!

[JMEMantzel]

ya.  me too. :-)

[Tukkapeikko]

Good! it is on! The giant robot!

[JMEMantzel]

It is indeed.

[togworth]

jamie rules end of ! i think i going to make u a theame tune jamieus

[JMEMantzel]

OH OH! If you do make a theme, put it on here. I wanna hear!

[Diphallia]

how did you get internet up there?

[JMEMantzel]

I take my laptop into town.

[blenderuser]

Weee, finally working on the GR again, but the home-dome and the spring-dome are some pretty cool projects too! And the lumber mill!.. and the tower... and...

[JMEMantzel]

thanks. Ya, I've been pretty eager to get back to the robot. Life is much easier with the other buildings taken care of a little.

[Asdayasman]

HOLY BALLS, A NEW GIANT ROBOT PROJ. VID! I LOVE YOU SO MUUUCH!

*Ahem*. >_>

I approve. Subtly.

[JMEMantzel]

ha ha. uhhh.... couldn't you be a pretty girl with nice boobies? Darn! They never say that to me.

[Asdayasman]

I could always stuff some socks up my shirt...

But nah, boobs ain't important, man. My last (haha, and first) gal was an absolute stunner. Not doing that again. Personality first. Body after.

Also, this is the internet. I'm pretty sure there are at least a few crazy chicks ready to do unholy things to you because of your vids. =P

[JMEMantzel]

what crazy chicks? ha ha. That would be funny to find out if there are any crazy potential stalkers out there I should know about. :-P

[Asdayasman]

Oh come on, you're on the internet. You know the rules of the internet, right? Rule 34 is the one I'm thinking of. "There is porn of it. No exceptions."

Who else but a crazy stalker would do that? Go find'em. :D

[JMEMantzel]

hmmm.... crazies. They can be interesting.

[Asdayasman]

They're the best!

If you have any spare, send them my way. ^_-

[JMEMantzel]

ohh... I know lots of crazies.... but not too many anyone would be interested in being around. :-P

[robotwo]

YEEEEEEEEEES~~!

FINALLY! >8D

Clearly a good idea to have more giant robots. And I guess we're all psyched about this moment :)

[JMEMantzel]

Ya, me too. of course now I want to build one 4 times the size. ....but must finish this one first.

[tycoonassassin]

Whos the first person to find the hill on google maps satilite view..

can it be done?

[blinkys]

I thought about that a day ago. But it seems that the area that JME is living in is too blurry in google earth.

[togworth]

what are the co-ordinates to find the dome on google earth?

[joshandkendra]

I looked it up awhile back, it's not too far from the mailing address on his website. There's some kind of shadow, i think, over the dome area so it's hard to tell if the imagery is even new enough to show his buildings.

You can see the underpass that he uses and the reservoir that he passes on the way up to his place. But everything else is shadow and blurry. 43.817127,-72.530429

[JMEMantzel]

Ya, I noticed that too. Its all a big messy blob of forest.

[borriszan]

YYYyeeeeyYYY Giant Robot!!!!! Bout time :D

really want to see it finished Mr Jamie (as i'm sure you do too!) hell if i wasn't in Ireland ide pop over and help :)

[JMEMantzel]

Ya. I need to seriously remove all distractions in life.

[DudeParallel]

Sweet!

Just out of interest, what are you going to use this robot for?

Just for fun, or built as a tool?

Could probably add some big choppers on them to cut trees down.

Then another arm to push the tree down... or push those who dare to get in the way of the robot overlord!

[JMEMantzel]

Its for fun, and possibly as a tool. This one is very experimental. I'll probably have to work out some bugs. ....and build another one super strong to use as a bulldozer and stuff. :-)

[buerm009]

Yes! Another robot video!

[JMEMantzel]

yep.... man, I still have a lot of work to do on it.

[paperjack93]

I thought you were nude while digging and the text saying "a little miracle" appeared hahahaha

[JMEMantzel]

hey now!  If I was nude, you'd know it! ha ha.

[Asdayasman]

Showoff.  =P

[JMEMantzel]

ha ha.  what did I do now? :-P

[Asdayasman]

-.-

Nevermind, you silly foof.

[JMEMantzel]

I'm a silly foof! Saweeet!

[chasenbb]

where the heck do you get all your energy?? nice to see the giant robot project up and running!

[JMEMantzel]

maple syrup. ...and anger. ...which I convert into determination.

[McClover]

You just like showing off your big biceps!!

Glad the robots coming back ^_^

[JMEMantzel]

Yep, thats me. mister vanity. :-P

ha ha

I figure I'm showing off whatever I have... since I'm video documentarying myself.

[hobbexp]

its always fun and interesting to look at your video, thanks :0)

[JMEMantzel]

sweet. I'm glad you like 'em.

[hutchings000]

I feel so inspired by you... wow!!!

I just wanna build things now and dig roads and put giant robots together!!!

[JMEMantzel]

You should do it, then. :-D

[MyHairyChin]

i bet them fish boxes have a fishy smell to them lolol

[JMEMantzel]

nope. not really. they rinse them out with sanitizer. The few that don't get washed out that well lose their smell pretty quick.

[canucks16]

it'd be cool if you drew a map of your mountain/property and put it up on your site or something so we could better understand where the different buildings and projects are in relation to each other!

[JMEMantzel]

Hmm.... okee dokee. I'll get on that. I can't promise it'll be right away. I have a lot of stuff to do! oh, I know... I need a helper. ....like on "tool time". heh heh

[abzde]

"I don't have 5 guys... it didn't come with 4 other guys!" I was smiling through that entire montage, but that part really made me laugh. Love your youtube blog, and I can't wait to see the giant robot in action.

[JMEMantzel]

thanks! :-)

[DeoMachina]

GIT OUTTA HERE INSTRUCTIONS GRAAGH

[JMEMantzel]

Ya, I'm not a fan of instructions. They always promise so much, and deliver so little.

[ShawnCFarm]

I wish I could find a banana building like that for free. I'd be all over it like a chicken on a junebug. LOL. I'd love to put something like that up here, but the building permits would cost way to much for me right now. Hmmm I think I'll just build it in the woods, put a set of wheels on it and brag it into place already finished.

[JMEMantzel]

heh heh.  nice. Put an ad in craigslist or something.

[artistkeith3]

You are running on maple syrup, admit it!!

I keep humming the theme to Sanford & Son while I'm watching this. hee hee.

[JMEMantzel]

I am running on maple syrup.  How'd you guess? I'm running out. Send me some more! :-P

[campbellhyde08]

sweeeeeeeeeeeet

5:50 lol somthing about that looks so funny

9:10 awsome picture

[campbellhyde08]

i mean 1:10 my bad

[JMEMantzel]

Ya. heh heh. my ever growing pile of styro-boxes.

So you like the "Take a picture" lady? :-P

[TheGreatSteve]

I'd like a closer look at that painting. :-)

[JMEMantzel]

oh. hmmm.... I'll have to get you a closer look, then.

[idahodad1]

With all the fish boxes, does your workshop have a fish smell in it?

[JMEMantzel]

I think I'm still transitioning into that mode. :-P err.... or something. WHA!

[squirrelbong]

lol yer hilarious.

I remember in one of the old giant robot videos there was a nut that you spot welded on to use as a temporary spacer or something, you said it would probly come loose and rattle around inside...i think that was the thingie rattling around in there

:D yey giant robot!

[JMEMantzel]

ha ha. Ya, I remember that too. :-P  I guess I am a little silly.

[DannysCam]

is that a mighty max truck or a pup?

[JMEMantzel]

huh? My toyota?

[DannysCam]

does it have a 22r motor?

[JMEMantzel]

err... i dunno. 4 cylinder. uhh.... I can't remember much after that. pretty small engine.

[dirtTdude]

22RE... its fuel injected
