The Epic Journey of Building Lightsabers for MrBeast

Introduction

In a twist of fate, MrBeast contacted me on Twitter, requesting two lightsabers for an upcoming video. Little did I know that this simple request would lead to an Adrenaline-filled adventure full of challenges and excitement. Join me as I recount the epic Journey of building lightsabers for MrBeast, complete with close calls, customs detentions, and the near ruin of a hundred thousand dollar shoot.

The Challenge of Building Two Lightsabers

When MrBeast reached out to me, I couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. However, my initial confidence soon faded as the realization hit me - we needed to build two lightsabers in just two weeks. This was no easy task considering the years of research, development, and six months of construction that went into our original Protosaber. The pressure was on, but failure was not an option.

The Original Protosaber

Before diving into the challenge of building two lightsabers, let me take a moment to appreciate the craftsmanship of our original Protosaber. It was truly a work of art - resembling a lightsaber in every way. From its ability to cut through objects with precision to the authentic lightsaber sound effects, it was a marvel of engineering. But as amazing as it was, it didn't fit MrBeast's requirements for simplicity, reliability, and longevity. So, we had to start from scratch.

Simplifying the Lightsabers for MrBeast

To meet MrBeast's needs, our team took on the arduous task of simplifying the lightsabers. Each member had their role, from revising the Ignition method to finding new ways to Create lightsaber sound effects. Personally, I was in charge of designing a less suspicious-looking backpack to transport the lightsabers without raising any eyebrows at the border. It was a race against time, and we pushed ourselves to the limits, working late nights and weekends fueled by endless cups of Bubble tea.

Overcoming Customs and TSA

Just when we thought we had everything under control, I found myself detained in customs. The fear of ruining the entire project loomed over me as I explained to the officers that the lightsabers were for MrBeast's video, not for personal use. Luckily, I managed to convince them, and before long, I was safely on my way to join the rest of the team in North Carolina.

Hustling to Meet the Deadline

Arriving in North Carolina, the team wasted no time in assembling the lightsabers and ensuring they were in perfect working condition. We were determined to deliver a product that would astonish MrBeast. Late nights of testing and fine-tuning paid off, and we were confident that we had created something truly remarkable.

Arriving in North Carolina

The time had come to present the lightsabers to MrBeast. With excitement coursing through our veins, we handed over the two lightsabers, eager to see his reaction. As expected, he was blown away by their awesomeness, and we were filled with a Sense of pride.

Lightsaber Testing and Excitement

With MrBeast by our side, we couldn't resist the urge to test out the lightsabers ourselves. We marveled at their power and the amazing sound effects they produced. It was a surreal experience, almost as if we were part of a Star Wars movie.

The State of Survival Sponsorship

During our time in North Carolina, we were approached by State of Survival for a sponsorship opportunity. Intrigued by the zombie-themed strategy game, we decided to join forces. It was a perfect fit, considering our love for apocalyptic scenarios and survival challenges. We encourage You to check out the game and experience the thrill for yourself.

Exploring the Lightsabers and Having Fun

As we continued to experiment with the lightsabers, we couldn't help but get caught up in the excitement. Swinging them around, creating sound effects, and engaging in playful lightsaber duels, we felt like kids again. The power and danger they represented were ever-present in our minds, making it a thrilling and slightly nerve-wracking experience.

The Price of a Lightsaber

Many viewers watching the video may wonder about the price of a lightsaber. While it would be incredible to have a definite answer, the truth is that the starting bid for one of our lightsabers is $69,420. However, the actual price could vary depending on various factors. Nevertheless, owning a piece of lightsaber engineering history is an opportunity that many enthusiasts will find hard to resist.

Owning a Piece of Engineering History

To satisfy the demand for lightsabers, we decided to auction off our original Protosaber, the World's First Retractable Proto-Lightsaber. It was a difficult decision to part with such a significant creation, but the funds raised would help us realize our vision of turning Hacksmith Industries into a real-life Stark Industries. Additionally, we offered a Hacksmith NFT drop, making this auction an even more unique opportunity.

The MrBeast Video Shoot

Eventually, the day of the MrBeast video shoot arrived. We had prepared everything meticulously, ensuring that the lightsabers were ready to showcase their power. The shoot took place at an ice rink, adding an element of excitement and challenge to the proceedings. The contestants would have to use the lightsabers to cut open safes containing their next set of coordinates on their race to win the $100,000 cash prize.

The Mishap and MacGyver Action

Amidst the intense action and anticipation, disaster struck. The safe door, laced with brittle gallium, shattered upon impact, leaving us in shock. With MrBeast due to arrive in less than 30 minutes, we had to act quickly to salvage the situation. In true Hacksmith fashion, we gathered the shards of gallium, melted them down, and poured the molten substance back into the crack. Time was against us, but our resourcefulness prevailed.

Fixing the Shattered Safe Door

To solidify the gallium in minutes instead of hours, we utilized a clever idea from one of the crew members. By pouring propane onto the gallium, the expanding gas caused a significant drop in temperature, aiding in the solidification process. Our MacGyver-style repair job worked like a Charm, and soon enough, the safe was back on the ice, ready for action.

The Race and the Working Lightsabers

As the contestants approached the safes, filled with anticipation and the desire to win the $100,000, our working lightsabers became the key to their success. With a few clicks, the safes were sliced open, and they anxiously awaited their next set of coordinates. The lightsabers performed flawlessly, leaving everyone in awe of their power and functionality.

The Grand Finale and Wrap-Up

In the grand finale of the MrBeast video, the lightsabers played a crucial role in revealing the final challenge. The tension was palpable as the contestants realized the immense stakes - $100,000 on the line. With their eyes fixed on the prize, they embarked on the ultimate challenge, guided by the incredible power of the lightsabers.

Almost Ruining MrBeast's Video

During this entire journey, we experienced an emotional rollercoaster, culminating in a moment of almost ruin. The shattered safe door had the potential to derail MrBeast's video and nullify all our efforts. As panic set in, we feared the worst - that our part in the lightsaber adventure had come crashing down. But, true to our Hacksmith spirit, we rallied together, fixed the problem, and saved the day.

The Emotional Rollercoaster

From the initial excitement of MrBeast's request to the nail-biting moments of potential ruin, this journey was an emotional rollercoaster. The ups and downs, the challenges and triumphs, all added to the rich tapestry of our experience. Building lightsabers for MrBeast was a privilege and an adventure we will Never forget.

Conclusion

As the Dust settled and the lightsabers found new homes, we reflected on the incredible journey we had undertaken. From the initial request to the near disaster and ultimate triumph, this experience pushed us to our limits and solidified our passion for engineering and creating extraordinary things. Building lightsabers for MrBeast was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that we will forever cherish.
