At $14k a piece, buying a vacuum forge just to make one video is an eye popping price to pay! I wonder what else could the forge be used for in future videos?

- nessguy 2y agoI just finished watching his purple gold video and he looked at, but didn't buy, the vacuum forge for that video. I'd actually find it cool if he did a shorter video revisiting the purple gold with his additional experience and the new forge to see if he could manage to do it easily at this point.
- gizmo686 2y agoHe has an entire chemical lab to himself and only puts out a video every few months. Add to that his own salary and all the other overhead of running a channel, and you quickly realize that the per-video cost is already very high regardless of video specific expenses. This piece of equipment still seems like a better investment than the ~4.5oz of gold he bought to make golden grills, which would be about 11k at todays rates.
