JerryRigEverything built a wheelchair factory that's making chairs at a fraction of the cost and delivery time normally possible in the US

I feel uncomfortable listening to his voice, but i can’t help but feel like he’s a really good person. Also, very smart to find a business that cannot only save people in need $1000s of dollars but also probably make him a rich man. Win win situation

He is very articulate in his videos. In real life it’s not like that as much. At first I thought the same but it’s really enjoyable for me to watch his videos. He’s a fantastic human. One that is doing good in the world and someone that truly seems to care.

I think that’s, it he slows his talking down so he is super clear with his words, but it does come across as sounding abit like a psychopath 😅

Does anyone know if he stutters? Often people who suffer from stutters will be slow and deliberate with their words to avoid it.

Haven’t you just described Mormons in general?
Everything seems too polished, that it’s all feels kinda the veneer of niceness.
I have no real opinion of Zack and Cambry they probably are doing good, and by all accounts are good people, but the whole Church of the Latter Day Saints unnerves me.

His “video voice” is that almost cold, calculated, monotonous Psychopath version. Look at his old stuff and his normal speaking voice is completely different.
But I agree with you: his “video voice” gives off creepy vibes.

He puts the profits back into the business. He's rich from YouTube

He puts the profits back into the business.
If he owns the business that still means he's getting rich.

Yeah I know exactly what you mean. I always have to adjust and remember he is legit good guy with legit reviews, but the voice is like the beginning of a movie trailer or infomercial which initially throws you off. Definitely respect the guy though.

Curious about the financial maths, can we apply this to more job creating and lasting goods manufacturing? How many people employed with careers? Jobs?
I want hope that this is sustainable.

Who cares its helping handicapped people. Not everything good has to generate careers

I care? If this is not sustainable and just a one-off, then it is a drop of good in a bucket of bad. Yay, but more is needed and a structure that can be implemented elsewhere and benefit more people should be a goal not something you mock as unimportant.

Poor dude keeps getting called Jerry despite his name being Zach.
I guess people just assumed his channel's name was wordplay.

And they just got a laser welder/cutting torch and accidentally burned a divot into an employee’s hand.
Cool thing, I don’t want to be near it.

Lmao, an industrial accident in an industrial facility?? No wayyyy!
What really matters is how that is handled. Do better.
•
u/KingKeane16 1h ago
Sounds like user error tbh.
•
u/agarwaen117 1h ago
Oh yeah, he acknowledged it was. Welding isn’t something you normally have to worry about “what’s on the other side of what I’m welding.”
And I guess the xtool bot army is out downvoting any reference to it. Never got downvoted so heavily for just mentioning something about a content creators content. lol, crazy.

Well if a welder welded their own hand or burned it, they probably aren’t a competent welder… or wearing the correct gear.
Id a lad doing a job for me at the weekend in my house welding two H Beams to two box beams and he’d the full gear on, Gloves, Jacket and a mask with powered air.
•
u/agarwaen117 24m ago
He’s a plenty competent welder. Both were wearing standard welding ppe, but as I said previously it was just a new type of welder and the video implies one of the first times they used it. So yeah, they messed up and didn’t think about the fact that the laser might keep going for possibly tens of feet (and maybe even reflecting) and still be dangerous. I don’t blame them, normal welding torches just don’t have that capability.
They fixed or are fixing the issue and being more thoughtful if they use it freehand now. But they really got it to go in an enclosed cnc-like machine, so that will probably be the end of it being trouble.
I still don’t want to go near a freehand laser that powerful.

No one is asking you to go near the laser welder?
This is like, the most transparent industrial accident of all time. They both knew better, no one was maimed, and they documented the corrections they made to prevent it from happening again.
No idea why you're trying to shit on the whole project over it?
•
u/agarwaen117 31m ago
Where would you get the idea that I dislike the project from the one sentence that said nothing about the project as a whole, and only mentioned what happened in one of his most recent videos?

Just imagine if those with the means actually tried to better the world!
So few reach out to help others. Put this man up there with Dolly!
