History
Threadbanger launched in 2008.[2] The channel began with content centred around sewing but later shifted to focus on broader DIY series such as Man vs. Pin and Corinne vs. Pin.[3] Threadbanger reached one million subscribers in 2015.[4]
Threadbanger began posting videos as part of the Man vs. House series in late 2017. The series followed Czar and Leigh refurbishing and renovating an older house.[5] Man vs. House was sponsored by Lowe's.[6] In May 2018, Threadbanger launched the YouTube Red series Do or DIY.[7]
In 2019, Czar was declared medically deceased after suffering a heart attack. He was revived and subsequently diagnosed with the autoimmune disease, granulomatosis with polyangiitis.[8] Czar's health issues caused the Threadbanger to take a break from posting videos.[9] Threadbanger returned to posting videos on August 3, 2019 with the video "I DIED....but", which recounted Czar's health issues for the YouTube audience.[10] As of October 2019, Threadbanger had 4 million subscribers.[8]
After recovering, Czar began working seriously on his painting, partly chronicling his art-making on ThreadBanger. In 2022, Czar and Leigh opened an art gallery called the Czart Gallery in West Asheville to display Czar's art.[11]
In 2024, Czar uploaded a YouTube video to his personal channel titled "How-To Ghost Your Audience On Youtube!" in which he indicated that the Threadbanger channel will be no longer updated. [12]
Awards
Czar and Leigh were honorees during the 2009 Webby awards for the How-To, Explainer & DIY category.[13] Along with being the nominees during the 2008, 2009, and 2015 Webbys. During the 2017 Webbys, Threadbanger won the People's Voice category for best web personality.[14]
