Hacksmith Industries was started by James Hobson ion 2006. They are know for their Make It Real series on YouTube, where they take fictional ideas from comics, movies and video games and turn them into real, working prototypes.

The Hacksmith team is made up of outside-the-box thinkers who take fictional ideas from comics, movies, and video games and make real working prototypes. They document all of our creations on YouTube, and in doing so make dreams a reality by building real life superhero tech. Some of the most popular project videos include: Does Captain America's Electromagnet Shield Work?, Thor's Stormbreaker DESTROYS ALL, and 4000° PLASMA PROTO-LIGHTSABER BUILD (RETRACTABLE BLADE!).

Hacksmith Industries takes pride in inspiring youth around the world to get into STEM and other related fields while always dreaming bigger.

Hacksmith Industries uses their Tormach PCNC 440, 1100MX, and AF50 Autofeed Bandsaw in their builds.

"Here at Hacksmith Industries, we create functional prototypes and we've made some of our most amazing projects using Tormach's CNC equipment! Our Lightsabers, Thor's hammer, Hoverboard, Wakanda Shield, Doom Fist and so many other creations have all been made possible by Tormach."
