Take Baking Soda and Sharpen Your Knives! An Unusual Trick to Try at Home

Inventor 101 left the workbench without a new upload this week, yet its archive brought in roughly 1.7 million views. The channel's lifetime total now stands beyond two billion, a substantial backdrop to a week spent letting existing projects do the work.

The baking-soda knife experiment remains its busiest video by current daily viewing, narrowly above "7 Genius DIY inventions." In the wordless sharpening demonstration, hands in blue sleeves repeatedly draw a blade across wood coated with oil and baking soda. Paper and a red bell pepper provide the before-and-after cutting tests. It is a compact, single-task alternative to the channel's familiar invention collections.

Those collections have plenty of life in them too. "7 Genius DIY inventions" promises recycling projects using plastic bottles and toys, while "6 Genius inventions " ranges across homemade electronics: a power bank, DJ light, Bluetooth speaker and audio amplifier. The appeal on offer is transformation, turning spare materials into something with a job.

Subscribers were unchanged over the week, while daily views are modestly above the channel's usual pace. In the nearby DIY group, Adam Savage's Tested and Architectural Digest both drew substantially larger weekly viewing totals. Inventor 101's week was closer in size to 5-MINUTE REPAIR's, with an older catalog supplying all the activity rather than a fresh batch of builds.
