I really enjoyed AvE channel at first. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone interested in equipment tear downs.

He uses his own colorful language to describe things. If it’s not appealing to you (I eventually grew tired of it) I’d still suggest you look past it and watch a few dozen of his videos anyway.

Lots of good insight on the manufacturing industry/process that I haven’t seen anywhere else.



Picture a Canadian who's spent his career doing technical (equipment repair) work in mining and other heavy industry.

He has a pretty deep knowledge of many things though.


He did a great and hilarious teardown of that failed Juicero product that came out a year or so ago [1], noting how ridiculously overengineered and expensive it is to produce.

The Juicero the physical embodiment of Ego and CV-driven development. People wanted to make the coolest shit possible, using the coolest tools, with no regard to cost or practicality.

People do the same thing in software, but it's not as readily visible as with physical products.
