Rather than starting a new thread for everything I make, I thought it would be a good idea to make one central thread for all my minecraft videos. I'm hoping that will help keep this thread alive and also decrease the number of threads I spam on these forums. Please feel free to use this thread to leave comments, questions, ideas, or just discuss stuff about my videos.
I'll try my best to keep this thread up to date. The best way to keep up to date with my videos is to subscribe to my YouTube channel. However, this thread is the best place to respond if you have a question or something you want to discuss about a video.
The main purpose of my videos is to help teach players how to build unique and complicated things and also inspire them to create interesting things.

That's already done once with 76 TNT and there is a save file for that. Unfortunatly, I tried it on SMP with health off twice. Both attempts failed. Trying to launch animals with it works but humans just get stuck in walls or fly nowhere (or just 10 blocks).

Seriously, it's a really cool idea. Every member should make a thread like this. We could be able to see all type of players/builders. I will surely create a thread like yours!
Ok I'm going to check what you've put there hehe!!!!!
Wait wait wait...
wtf was that at 13:55 in your Starter World Tour vid? Have you secretly developed a very very fast upward travel using water which nobody knows about!?!
That looked faster than boat right-click teleporting!
I have already called you a genius in all your videos.
Now I'll just SAY IT HERE!

I built one of those EATS roads. Very cool, but I when I built it I had to do an hour or so of troubleshooting to get my boat to stop at the end of the road. I figured how to make a break out of water and that stopped me.
I think I was also having the issue of when I leave the area, and I come back, the boats are misaligned and the dispenser stops working.

Have you ever stopped to think... and forget to start again?

lol blue, that was a watervator. ethos did not create it, plenty of people have them.

That was just a water ladder.
Etho, your inventions are awesome...
You need to create a way to launch skeletons riding flaming minecarts at people as a defense... :smile.gif:
Woohoo!!! Its about time you revived your invention thread Etho. I can't wait to see how you handle your EATS turns.
Also, in Let's Play Episode 13 you said that for the Double Door Stopper Redstone Wiring you couldn't usse any Redstone Torches. I found a way to successfully use redstone torchs and not run into issues. The doors have to be 2 blocks from each other (so instead of 1 block in between them there are 2). One of the doors (the back one) also needs to be reversed, so that it closes flat against the boat. You can then use redstone torches directly below the doors to control them and run redstone to the torches instead of the door blocks. This allowed me to hide the redstone wiring entirely beneath the EATS Road, which works better for above-ground bases when your walls may only be 1 block thick.
By the way, your EATS invention has been my favorite Minecraft Invention ever. I've started a new world since the Beta release and have connected each base that I build with an EATS Road before I even build the structure. I've figured out a method for turning in both directions, but I'd rather see yours first, before I go trying to describe it in text.
Ok, I need to post here, because this is the work of a mad scientist.
Etho, I hope you don't mind if I steal most of your work, I can't wait to see how this looks with Glimmar's Steampunk Texture Pack.
After looking at your minecart storage holder, I had an idea for a massive storeroom for items using storage minecarts: Do you think it would be possible to make a way to call and return one of those stacks, or individual minecarts at the very least? It would take alot more work than your initial design, but if anyone could do it, it would be you.
Etho has a fan in me. I hope to see more awesome creations! I started watching the tour of your first world expecting to be bored, as is the nature of most tours. I actually found myself impressed, and loved the design of your home/base! Furnishing is also a skill I don't really possess. =P
I would never have imagined water had so many applications in Minecraft. You're like a hydro-engineer! Or something like that. Good job!
Thanks for the support everyone. Here is my latest creation. It is a high speed dispenser unit intended to be used in my storage room.
Also, this following video is made by Eyoxiz. It impressed me and I want other people to see it to get a better understanding of the potential for the EATS system.
What server do you play on?
I play SMP on a private server operated by NonProphet with minecrafters from the clan ONA. (The Art Of War guys)

Oh, that one? Well, I assure you, I have done it. You get launched very, VERY high, but not too far. You just have to set it up REALLY carefully. I wired a new activation circuit and hacked in some diamond armor :biggrin.gif:
