This channel is best described in the words of @Threadsinger "Like a "Today I Found Out" if it was hosted by Deadpool."

Chris Boden is a passionate polymath with a storied life. He founded a little Makerspace that turned out to be rather popular, published a few books, made a few videos that some people liked, survived Federal prison, and has lived a life through a lens throwing lightning bolts in front of thousands of people for decades. He’s a professional weirdo and rational optimist who is trying to balance misanthropy with philanthropy.

This is the edge of the rabbit hole, beyond this point there be great beasties and dangerous adventures.

If you're watching this channel and wishing that there were PG-rated versions of my stuff that you could use in your classroom, I invite you to please check out my other channel. The entire High Voltage For The Home Shop series will be broadcast there, and it's entirely Classroom Appropriate. The first episode is already public and you can find it right here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3G9jj...

A huge batch of new products just dropped in the store. :) You might want to check it out! This is by far the best way to support these videos and help me get one step closer to building a proper workshop where we can do SERIOUS HIGH VOLTAGE fun :) Check bigbeaverenergy.com/collections/all?page=2&sort_by… for all the new stuff!

You want to see this :) The first episode of my massive new video series called High Voltage For The Home Shop just went public on my other channel. The series is classroom-appropriate, family friendly, and will be a comprehensive set of instructional videos geared toward the amatuer enthusiast, experimenters, and students working in their home shop. Please feel free to share it anywhere you like. :)

WANNA SEE SOMETHING COOL!? M'verygoodfriends over at Your Dinosaurs Are Wrong have just released a MASSIVE new episode and I am personally inviting you to check it out. If you're into dinosaurs/paleontology, or have kids, or students that are, their channel is an incredible resource (and classroom safe!). I've had the honour of being friends with them since their very beginnings and am incredibly thankful for the opportunity to help support their channel. So give them a chance, and check out their massive new episode here :) This is top-shelf turbonerd content!

Ok, this finally grew serious enough to make an "official" facebook page. You're welcome to find me here if you're looking for more than just what I'm posting to YouTube. Feel free to "friend" "Follow" or whatever it is that works for you over there. I'm still learning how to use it. www.facebook.com/chrisbodenofficial

It's 10 minutes before dinner, you're sitting quietly at home, and the boss sends you this picture.
What do you text him in reply?
