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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
