In fact, his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbNvfx3rYYxEopnRGxfu53Q">YouTube channel</a> is followed by over 75 thousand people and his videos have been viewed by over 30 million.</p>
<p>Joseph has been making his machines since he was just a five-year-old. He rediscovered his childhood passion in his early twenties when he built a contraption that covered his entire apartment and saw him create a 3-minute obstacle course with a big finish which saw a hammer smash an egg. <em>Crème that Egg</em> was the first video he posted online and it amassed over 3 million views.</p>
