Colin once dropped a 2,000 volt Jacob's ladder on his hand and his skin blew off. The Hacksmith broke his hand while building a baseball cannon. ElectroBOOM has been burnt by lasers and electrocuted himself multiple times. Styropyro has also burnt himself with lasers and electrocuted himself.

He also had to deal with the bike he used for the arrest, which had false number plates. The speaker's girlfriend's parents had to pick him up, making it an awkward introduction to the family. The speaker had to wait for several weeks for the Firearms thing to be resolved.
The FBI visited the speaker because they were worried that someone might use the chemical he made to cause panic in a building. The speaker had made a chemical that produces the same gas that indicates a gas leak in natural gas. The FBI asked him why they were there, and the speaker jokingly said it was because of exploding bullets. They then told him they were concerned about the gas being used to cause panic.
The speaker finds it strange to use a laser welder as it doesn't work like a traditional welder. It fuses parts together quickly without a visible weld pool. The speaker hasn't burned themselves with it but has a bit of a Mankey toe, for which they've considered laser treatment.
As the speaker gains experience and knowledge, they look back at their early videos and sometimes wonder how certain things worked. They've learned to identify potential issues in their projects, such as weaknesses or areas that could be improved. This growth in perception helps them improve their future projects.
