Desk lamps for a picnic table: AvE's 'BOLTR: Interuptus' hums along
The two-week-old teardown, billed as a de-dickering, sits beside a $85 Harbor Freight chain saw and an old farmer's axe-handle trick.
AvEStory of Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
BOLTR: Interuptus (I de-dickerd it!)
"BOLTR: Interuptus (I de-dickerd it!)" is AvE checking out desk lamps, the kind, the description says, that get used at the picnic table. It is thirteen days old, and nothing has gone up on the channel since, so this lamp video is doing the work. It draws more daily views than the next two busiest videos put together.
Those two are late-summer pieces in the same spirit. One asks whether an $85 Harbor Freight chain saw is usable or total junk. The other passes on an old farmer's trick for keeping an axe handle tight, summed up in the description as three words: hang a maul. Both keep finding people, slowly, more than a month on.
For anyone who has not met him, AvE is the Canadian tinkerer known for taking tools apart on camera, judging the plastic, the bearings and the shortcuts, in a voice full of shop-floor slang. BOLTR, short for "Bear Openings, Looking Thru Rear," is his long-running teardown series, and these three titles show its range: a lamp, a saw, a handle.
The channel's daily views sit a little above their usual level. Among the DIY and home channels of a similar size, this is a gentle week: Engineezy and 5MadMovieMakers are drawing far bigger crowds, and Blacktail Studio Uncut is running at more than twice its usual pace. AvE's about text, meanwhile, keeps its own counsel, a Piet Hein verse about erring again, but less and less.
