Thanks for watching!

[Nerdforge]

Thanks again for having us, we had an absolute blast! 💜

Funny seeing Adam GEEK out over Martina and Hansi, and the two of them GEEKING out over him. My two favorite worlds collide.

[joevano]

I think the most amazing thing about Martina’s missing finger is that almost no one noticed until she made the first prototype video. Given how much you watch her working with her hands on the channel that just blew everyone’s mind.

[bunbunmikey]

Somehow I didn't think about Martina and Adam being the exact same personality, but watching them talk at 200 mph it clicked instantly!

[kuroakikitsune]

As someone who grew up with mythbusters and loves watching nerdforge, its like my childhood is collaborating with my present.

[thepoynt]

Not a collab I expected, but a welcome one! Martina and Hansi are so fun, I bet just about everyone in this community would love their channel if they haven't seen it before

[HalidonDioramas]

OMG my two favorite channels collide, a great day indeed

[Moon_hopper]

10:10 "The problem is, it's just so cool" is the most relatable maker quote I've ever heard.

[Frozenkoldfury]

One of the men who started my love of crafting props meets two people who keep that passion alive. This is like two generations of heroes meeting for me.

[sanddagger]

I know it's obvious that Adam watches other makers but to actually see that he watches and enjoys the channels of younger people that probably grew up watching him is a wonderful loop.

As _My Mechanics_ would put it: "Part is missing. I build a new one."

I'd watched a ton of Nerdforge stuff, and never noticed the missing finger until she did a video focusing on it. Her personality is so magnetic, you just get caught up in the makes.

[randalljones]

As a dentist who gets involved in a lot of whole-mouth prosthetics (lots of denures and partials in this rural area),
thanks to this video, I truly want to make a denture-smile that "lights up a room".

....now : How to get enough power into the mouth without the danger of high-current burns?...

IGOR, GET THE NECK BOLTS.... I have an idea!!!

[Cyba_IT]

Adam is the stratospherically cool uncle.

[Bassalicious]

13:34 Martina's face when Adam said that. The child-like, pure joy and flattery. That was adorable.

[Patryn]

The absolute look of "Why didn't I think of that?" when you asked about putting a fingernail on it was hilarious. She has great energy when talking about it now, but I can only imagine how hard it was to get to this point. She did say it took 5 years, so it must have been quite the internal struggle. Glad she was able to overcome that struggle and shine through.

[xXDoUbLeDDXx]

I'm a left arm amputee from a motorcycle accident. My arm is paralyzed from a brachial plexus injury so I'm not able to functionally wear prosthetics without discomfort. Adam asked what would the amputee community think of this. Well me personally, I think this is incredibly cool. Especially how fluid it all is and how "easy" it is to make. Very cool video

[John_Conner]

I am so happy Martina is getting exposure like this. She makes so many cool things but is really hard on herself. Wonderful collab.

[ImperialHolocron]

I'm just imagining how many hours worth of banter there was about painting and weathering models.

Adam showing his pinky in the thumbnail is so savage haha
