I Design ice skates that are made of ice. This was a DIY project that took me out of my comfort zone, introducing silicone mold making, and Ice parts that melt. With a design inspired by hockey skates, this project taught me to appreciate the process, even if the results are unexpected.

This is a channel that I routinely forget exists and then get super-excited whenever I see an update.

Well, that makes sense as there are only a few videos he's made so far. Stuff Made Here and I Did a Thing and the dozen or so other big maker channels have dozens, even hundreds of videos. You're gonna see that and remember that a lot more. Hope he makes more. I do really like these kinds of longer build videos.

I think it's because the video looks like clickbait. Cut 100 balloons with a hot knife or something like that. And to be honest, I expected to see exactly something like this, and not what I saw.

Google: Dear adsumer, I know all, there is nothing that is not known to me, there are no mysteries left for me to discover, no puzzles that I cannot solve, now and forever. I do not know or understand how I work, at all. I appreciate your feedback, and by it, I know that I am working correctly. None may know me or my inner workings, not even me. That said, go check out skibidi toilet! 👍
can i just say how much i appreciate the narrative and no-skipping-ahead of your videos? makes it feel like we’re actually watching along as you put your plans into action

Wow, I did not expect those to work anywhere near as well as they did. Thought the blade would just flop over sideways within the ice the second weight was put on it. The fact they were actually usable as skates is seriously impressive. Well done!
We're impressed that you didn't get cold feet and finished the project.
This project is why I love KZread.
this was a masterclass in problem solving and prototyping! like you said, it was really about the process. bravo.
I love your content. That this only has so few views after 2 months is ridiculous. Please keep it up, the effort put into this does not go unnoticed!

Man is dedicated.. Amazing video. 10/10 love it
There’s KZread content then there’s this channel. Absolutely amazing channel
Your production, cinematography and manufacturing are all so good! Keep it up!
OK, incredible prop design aside, the FILM MAKING of this video is unbelievable. A video about making skates out of ice has no right to be this well-made. From the incredible animations like at 7:49, the masterful sound design like at 11:56 (no, resin 3D printers don't make any of those sounds in real life), the stunning cinematography like at 13:49, going back on site at 14:18 just to film yourself disappointedly looking over the melted water to finish that narrative, and all the perfectly synchronized hard cuts to the music like at 15:04, this is just amazing.

I really appreciate it! Incredible analysis btw, can’t believe you caught all that!
What I think is truly insane about this is the view count (2,667 as of 4 hours after release) compared to how well produced your content is. All of the animations are great, the video organization is great, the production quality is overall fantastic. You deserve more recognition! You've got 100k subs, where are all of the views?
At this point, you could easily make an acrylic one just to make it permanent. :) I know it's not the point of the project but as a permanent reminder of this project. Great video!
Man that was absolutely amazing. The cinematography and editing in some of those sections was just fantastic. Thanks for making it
I wasn't expecting a video like this at all, but man the work done here is amazing, the project itself, the animations, the problems, the explanations, the musics used... That was so good
I feel like I needed to give this video some love. People been treating it coldly 😄
Great FEET of engineering, not to mention the quality of the editing. Awesome job, keep it up.

Did I just watch an 18 minute video on literal ice skates? Yes, yes I did. Phenomenal job as always! Definitely going places with these videos!
You'll have to try it with carbon and bamboo fiber too. 1) Because I wonder what the great thermal conduction of carbon fibre does to ice. Maybe it'll prevent any spot of the ice from melting in isolation, instead reducing in temperature the whole block at once. Any added heat is spread over the whole block. 2) Because there's reinforced concrete made with bamboo instead of steel.
I remember when my uncle took me ice skating for the first time, gosh centennial lakes is a beautiful place

I was looking forward to your next upload, but I never expected this! What a fun surprise!
Great lesson: aim to enjoy the process and don't worry too much about the result.
N ice job, that editing is like from Hollywood!! I’d like to see skates made of fire next😅
Pro tip: make skate #2 while looking in a mirror so it will match the other foot.

it is criminal this channel only has 100K subs. It deserves so much more.
To keep your feet warm during winter sports (I alpine ski) I've discovered something decades ago, dry feet are warm feet, also true for any part of your body, ie, hands and yes this works with hands too. First off, wool & silk will keep you warm while wet, NOTHING else on Earth can do this without a power source. But the keeping dry to begin with part, just spray your hands & feet with antiperspirant. I do this on the bed leaving my feet float in mid air off the side to completely dry, do the same with the hands, the antiperspirant needs to dry to stop you from sweating, yes it is your own sweat that is making you cold. And all you need is wool socks & gloves, if you itch from wool then get silk liners to put on first & the wool over the silk. btw wool blankets are the best, it is what our great grand parents used before everyone started buying the polyester shells filled with polyester cotton, to me it is like sleeping while using a plastic trash bag as a blanket ... wool will stop you from waking up laying in a puddle of your own sweat... and yes, you'll also want silk sheets, but cotton sheets are nice too, you decide.
Good to see you killing it man!
Those are some nICE skates
As soon as I saw the thumbnail in my "subscriptions" section here on YT, I was like, "That guy is insane! I'm so glad I'm subscribed, because I would never have thought to search for this specific nutty idea, but can't wait to watch it!"
Both mad and brilliant! The world moves forward due to people like you 💪
This is a crazy amount of work for a pun
I do not regret subscribing one bit, great job 👍
I love your directing style of your videos! The VCR and CD player references give a nice sense of nostalgia!
Guess youtube hates ice skating. Video was solid.

I saw the thumbnail and immediately thought “pykrete” 👏
Whoa! This was way more interesting than I could ever imagine edit: I guess the title and thumbnail are under-selling it or something.
Can't wait for the super pykrete pro max ultra super 😅
My first thought is ankle breaker
Ooooh new video, exciting!
Another great video. Congratulations on 100,000 subscribers. With your awesome editing skills you will be hitting a million soon.
The animations really make these videos pop. However, I think a better recipe would have been wood pulp, a thickener, and water. And then test ratios until the wood pulp stops sinking to the bottom of the mold during freezing. A massive part of pykrete is that it needs to be homogenous for it work correctly. Paper pulp is fantastic for that, but it must be mixed and suspended in the water in a very stable way, thus the thickener.
Wow those animations are on point!
You are so talented! And you are an excellent sculpter! I had so much fun watching! I cannot wait to see what your imagination comes up with next!
Don't know how much time you spent making these animations, but I freaking love them...
Yowzer!! That was goooood!! Super job on the production and selling the project in the story. All the project work and testing too. Loved it!
my internet bill paid off
yet another VERY good video thanks
Wahaha. I'm hooked. This ice skate is really cool.
Really well put together video! I love seeing your ideas and seeing how your video format improves over time! You're doing amazing dude! Keep it up 💯

Wonderful video!
Love the video definitely something I would not thought of to put the ice in ice skates
They're not ice skates, they are ice ice skates.
Cool project and great video production! Would you consider a clear resin cast given that you've got the mould and blade? You could do some finishing to make it look like ice, as a permanent memento of the project.

This video reminds me of the channel "I did a thing" but you actually have engineering skills .
btw in Australia in winter it just rains more. Not quite as magical.
Yours is one of those channels I instantly subscribed to AND turned on the bell icon. Then my ADHD brain completely forgets about you until I get the next notification and fall in love with the channel all over again. Amazingly good animations btw! You deserve all the subs!
