Is Colin’s recklessness a fake act, like Electroboom, or is he really as reckless as it seems? I’m not sure I’ve ever really figured it out, and for some reason it makes it hard for me to watch. I guess obviously they wouldn’t publish a video where something goes horribly wrong, though.

Another one if you want to see some real recklessness is "I did a thing".
Seconded! Here's the channel link

It's an act, but I wouldn't call it fake. He has more in common with photonicinduction than electroboom.
I think I'm slightly more worried that photonicinduction has actually died when he goes silent for a while, though. I know it's mostly down to career/relationship ups-and-downs, but there's always a chance it's "got turned inside out by a flying washing machine drum".
What’s something that Colin did that was reckless? Everything he does looks pretty run of the mill for a workshop, but cool.
they're just playing characters
