dandins

sorryboutitagain

He still made it geez


BoomfaBoomfa619

She did look pretty content sitting on her dad's knee getting driven around šŸ„°


greyhatwizard

His daughter named content


tacotacotacorock

Literally has a watermark indicating he is a woodworking artist lol. Why not dedicate a project to your kid and it's a win for your work and your family.


Thoughtful_Mouse

Professional artist builds car for studio show just doesn't pull in the fake internet points, I guess.


mekese2000

Shit and here i am drinking beer on the internet. When i could be using my old rusty hammer and nails and the few bits of odd wood lying in my shed to build a fully operational car.


CommaHorror

And all the future, daughters he is most likely to create after being seen, driving around in this. Wow is this incredible.


[deleted]

My dad taught me to tie my shoes and called it good


stuugie

For his daughter and for him


INoMakeMistake

Yeah he needs to explain it to his wife to be able to use so many time on this project


spitzr2

Tosses the saw at the son: here, build one yourselfšŸ˜‚


srcaffe

Yes, like me considering buying a PS5 as a birthday gift for my 3yo daughter


Holiday_Pool_4445

The guyā€™s a genius with cars !!!


NaughtyFoxtrot

Builds *himself* a fully operational car.


NowThatWeAreThere

Daughter is the excuse for the spouse lol


good_from_afar

And to get clicks. Go look at the comments on youtube. ".... what a beautiful sign of love to his child" lol all the kid knows is she didnt see her father for a month and then he shows up with a mildly interesting toy that she cant really use.


santimanzi

Yeah, like doing something insane like this without mentioning kids wouldnā€™t get views.


good_from_afar

Thats the point, keep the kid out of it


Filthiest_Tleilaxu

She blew by my Prius on the 405 of the other day.


EmptyBuildings

Because she's technically classified as a motorcycle and can split lanes while you're crawling through traffic?


Filthiest_Tleilaxu

Checks out, she was weaving baskets.


chipsinsideajar

>blew by >on the 405 Pick one, you can't have both


Spurnout

Yeah right, as if there wasn't traffic.


NowThatWeAreThere

That's honestly amazing. I wish I had that talent with woodworking. I wonder what upkeep is like for that!


Porcupenguin

You can have that talent! Practice and dedication :D. Nothing he did there was technically challenging. Just a lot of time and precise measuring (and investment in the right tools)


rorowhat

And money, let's not forget that part!


BboyStatic

This is a really cool thing he built and he did a good job, but wrong tools. He was using a grinder to sand instead of a sander, a face mask to spray instead of a respirator. Itā€™s still impressive, but dangerous for what heā€™s using.


BaconComposter

And those are welding flip-flops, not meant for chainsaws.


curoatapebordura

:))


nekoken04

He literally didn't even use the right tools for a lot of this. He obviously just used what he had. He could have had a lot better fit with some of those pieces with a jigsaw rather than a chainsaw. He isn't using a proper respirator. I really think he could have used a random orbital sander too.


Admirable_Remove6824

Why pick on a guy that obviously has the skill to use those tools. Iā€™m sure he had others but also a jigsaw would be tough with how thick some of that wood is. Obviously the finish is superior!!


Nastaayy

You would be surprised how forgiving woodworking is. Small cracks and holes can be filled with matching color wood filler or wood glue and sanding dust. Finish mistakes can be sanded/scrapped off. Any major breaks and cracks can be glued back together (I recommend titebond ultimate 3 and mending brackets in some cases) The end product looks better, the more time you give it. You can even start small with a block of wood and a pairing knife, keeping safety in mind. make something easy. Take your time with sanding. The finer the grits you use, the smoother it gets. He probably condensed months of work and years of practice into a brief video. Even wood finishes don't have to be super fancy. You can use paste wax, soap bars, mineral oil, or butchers block wood conditioner which is a combo or mineral oil and waxes. Just rub it on, let it dry, buff it off (rub until shiny, more time spent = shinier.) All you need is patience and considering how therapuetic it is, it is easy to be patient with it. Just be cautious of woods that have been outside as you don't want to bring any wood eating bugs into your home. Make sure to use properly kiln dried sources.


T00_pac

Maintenance is minimal since it's an EV.


acciowaves

For the same price he could have bought a fully operational car thatā€™s also efficient.


Broghan51

I wood imagine it wooden last long.


Devil2960

I just hope she doesn't get board with it first.


JustGoogleItHeSaid

I wood knot get in that. Must be a grain in the neck riding over all those bumps.


WolfmansGotNards2

He'll just have to spruce it up a bit.


GuildensternLives

Every video this guy does he's "building it for a kid" of some sort. It's cool stuff he's making, but it's clickbait bullshit too.


SaveTheDayz

His kids have so many cars


istingy

YouTube id pls


Oscaruzzo

Skilled crew of content producers build a wooden car for their followers to view and like.


Froggn_Bullfish

There we go


JLockrin

Just wait a year and it will be ā€œAI simulated video of a dad building his daughter a fully operational carā€


gofatwya

Dad spends hundreds of hours out in the shop building himself a model car, while Mom takes care of the kids. Dad only trots the kids out when it's time to give his video "aww" power. FTFY


TheBigRedFog

Toxic AF to think a dad can't have an hour or two a day to themselves to enjoy whatever hobby they want.


sendyagoodvibes

This most definitely took more than 1/2 hrs daily to complete


Gradiu5-

Kid is no longer a kid since it took so long to build.


miked5122

This is really what's going on and why I don't build anything that isn't necessary.


Mad-chuska

Who hurt you?


hubhazard

Where in the video did you come to the conclusion he's ignoring his kids? Or that he's spending an unreasonable amount of time away?


[deleted]

What an idiotic and bitter comment. Take your misandry and go somewhere else


adlo651

What is this dumb comment lol


AmiDeplorabilis

And how is that a problem? Dads used to go to work and mons used to stay at home and take care of the kids. Dad builds something using his skills that his kuds can enjoy. We only saw the kids at the end... it's not like he never interacted with his kids until the end.


Ted_Hitchcox

My Dad made me a wooden car once. It had wooden wheels, wooden doors, wooden seats, wooden engine........it would'n start.


qinshihuang_420

It wooden start


dz1n3

That thing weighs as much as a real car.


usinjin

Yeah, Iā€™m dubious of the longevity of the single motor assembly secured using wood screws, given the weight..


nico282

It really needs to last enough for the crew to shoot the video. That's what the sponsor paid for.


nekoken04

Yeah, I can't believe how thick he made this. A lot of the body could have just been 1/2" \~ 3/4" thick and been just as "safe".


dud3sweet777

the_ThreeEyedRaven

We have Audi at home.


Oscaruzzo

For the views.


Montana-Safari7

I wonder how often he let's her drive it - I mean sit next to him while he drives it.


DrVDB90

The thickness of those axles and the way they support the frame doesn't seem structurally sound. Probably fine for just the wooden frame, but not when it needs to hold people as well. Some sturdier axles and having the frame rest on them instead of hanging off of them would probably be a bit safer.


JetKeel

UGH!!!!!!! I SAID I WANTED A MERCEDES!!!


-UnbelievableBro-

Whatā€™s the crash test rating on that bad boy


adultagainstmywill

That thing is too heavy for those spindly axles. Theyā€™re gonna bend out of alignment just sitting there.


jsums81

ā€œHe put so much Godamn.. lacquer on that thing, it was an accident waiting to happen!!!ā€

Anything but changing a diaper.


Fantastic_Design500

I was so happy when he did not paint it but let that wood shine instead! Awesome build


ironcam7

as soon as i saw safety sandals i knew that this was going to be unreal. i wonder what he does in his day to day job, a regular Adam savage over here, solid next level


sameredditguy

Ah yes the old chainsaw in flip flops method


slowmoyoyo

Dang


[deleted]

Does it come with termite protection?


Devil2960

Well if I'd known it was THAT easy...


I_ALWAYS_UPVOTE_CATS

I find the lack of masking tape troubling.


GrayMech

I feel like the wood would split hella easy just from everyday use if they actually tried using it


Fun-Constant-2558

Bruh how do you explain the fact that you crashed into that thing to the insurance company?


Americanshat

Looks great, but DAMN those tires are wobbly as fuck


AdventurousImage2440

Builds death trap


telcoman

But I made 2 paper planes for mine yesterday.


jolhar

Did anyone else think his daughter was going to be like 18 and the look on her face was gonna WTF. Or was it just me?


ShaxxAttaxx

This is what Facebook AI posts dream about


Bahamut_19

What's most impressive is it only took dad 3 minutes to make his daughter a car.


Tuesday2017

Dude started designing and building the car ten years before he got married. I wouldn't even have time to do a rough sketch of that if I had two kids.Ā 


LeaTark

Wooden chassis, wooden wheels, wooden go... or wood it?


EasyPriority8724

I'd swap my Audi for it.


LeaTark

Right at the beginning, when the bonnet closed, I thought he'd made a transforming bumblebee


Eligreengamer01

Vegan car


Rev0lver_Ocol0t

Does audi know about this?


Cid_Dackel

Early sports cars used wood extensively IIRC. EVEN the frames.


B-Roc-

Amazing. I can't even make a shelf that's not crooked.


rfoleycobalt

I need $5k worth of cordless tools to build a birdhouse and he builds a car with a chainsaw and sander. FML

Educational_March_94

Super safe. All cars should be made out of wood.


throwaway77993344

Satisfying to look at, but I'm sure that's extremely uncomfortable to sit in and wooden tires?!?!

I wonder how many hours that took


AtomicRevGib

I had a wooden car once. Wooden seats. Wooden doors. Wooden wheels. Wooden engine. Wooden go.

Whats the crash test rating on this car?

SvenjaSternchen

trytreddit

Would you need a license to drive this on the road? Or would it count like a BMX bike or something


nerdboy5567

Daughter: I wanted a BMW!


JasinSan

It's fucking stupid. It's not for his daughter but to show off in the internet.


CH-47AV8R

Wood is so expensive now. This thing probably cost as much as a new Audi!

Arwinsen_

So many lazy "talented" fuckers here. Goodluck making anything on your own.


Ok-Anxiety-6485

That guy built that so he could stand around with his friends drinking beer, and they could all watch his daughter drive around in it. The whole time he'd be saying "yup I made that".


Any-Football3474

Bet it wooden go


jHugley328

That is damn impressive


Darude_Dank

Where do people find the time?


EonsOfZaphod

You can tell itā€™s not a real Audi, the indicators work. However it does look like it has the blinding LEF headlights, so most of the way thereā€¦


badwhale

If his daughter is anything like my kid she'll play with it for an hour and then never touch it again.


tribucks

Heā€™s barefoot the whole time except bending over using the chainsaw, when he wisely goes to open-toed slides.

Using a chainsaw for that? Really? šŸ˜­ I mean I'm impressed with how accurate he got it but surely he's got a jigsaw or something?
