I have been doing chemistry on my own for the past 8yr. I've been interested in it since I was 12 or 13, but no one could teach me at the time, so I turned to YouTube and wikipedia. Fast forward 4yr and I had taught myself enough to start reading old public domain chem textbooks and research papers. I slowly built up from dissolving pennies to crafting unique organic reactions. Lately I don't have much time, so my videos are simple topics for now, but I have a lot of big projects planned.

I'm just here to document my unique hobby to hopefully inspire the next amateur chemists just like the ones who came before me...
