This helped me soooo much. I’ve been on RUclips for almost an hour trying to figure out how to get my blinds down. Thought I was definitely gonna have to pay to replace them. Then I stumbled unto your video and was finally able to get them down. Thanks so much
Same here! Once I understood the mechanism I gently pulled apart some pieces, sorted out a blockage with the cords and voilà. Top notch video! Excellent animation too
Wow how can one video get everything right?! Beautiful animation, easy to understand, and the sponsor is relevant and smoothly transitioned in. Great video!
The reason I love these videos are: 1) They are clearly explained, with excellent animations, to say nothing of the 3D components. 2) You don't leave anything out. When the video is over you know exactly how it works, with no boxes/mechanisms left unexplained, for those who need a thorough explanation. Even if you forget how it works in the future, and just take it for granted that it does, it's always nice to remember that you knew how it worked at one time, so you know it's not "magic".
@@bobmcboblin There's also the inertia lock that allows the belt to be extended gently but locks if pulled quickly, and the retractor that keeps the belt tight.
Dude your videos are so brilliantly made I use my blinds everyday but I never really figured out why they work. You put everything so plainly and the visuals are extremely clear. I can’t believe your channel doesn’t have a septillion subscribers
This is EXACTLY what my life needed I am curious about just about EVERYTHING and how they work Edit: how does anyone even think and invent these things?
We have brilliant minds amongst us. They are the reason our technology has advanced as far as it is today. Everything starts from a simple mechanism, then more components are added to make it more efficient
SO helpful!! I watched a few other videos from other sources to help me understand the workings of my horizontal blinds. This was, by far, the most helpful. Thank you!!
Lol thanks man! You saved me! I pulled the strings on the blinds in my moms house and the lock part was rusty and locked up at the top. My mom yelled for 5 mins, and was really mad saying I needed to buy her a new one now, I watched this video. Figured out the rusty lock part was preventing the blinds from going back down. Shoved my pocket knife in there and BAM the blinds fell down. Took 3 mins to find the solution and fix the issue. Thanks a bunch lol.
Thank you. I have really old blinds that do not look good anymore because of how old and used they are, so I am considering covering them with black out fabric and making sort of "roman shades" and this video reassured me that I can safely remove the two strings that flip the blinds and just leave the one that lifts them up and down.
I recently got a book called "How Your House Works," which has exploded diagrams of things in your house such as the blinds, faucets and so forth. This channel is so much better because with the animation I can see the parts actually working. Kudos!
This is actually really helpful. I'm from India and have a set of broken blinds. Now I know what's the exact problem so I can't address it better. Thank you so much 👍🏽
Thank you for making this so easy to understand and follow. I’ve been struggling with these blinds for 30 minutes and your video helped me fix them in 2
Super clear description of the window blinds mechanism. Clear video, clear audio, clear presentation, you even mentioned some of the alternative ways in which things may be implemented. The clearness and attention to detail deserves a - wow. =) (I would love to see some Blender tutorials by you.)
Thank you! I was replacing the tilt mechanism and it wasn’t working. I assumed I had put the whole thing back together wrong, your video showed me that I had the cord housing upside down. Now my blinds work perfectly!
@@JaredOwen It was smart to work with a company focused on the parts rather than the whole. That prevented them from influencing your design, and may have pushed you to cover a wider variety to cover all the parts possible for blinds.
How long did it take you to complete the whole thing in blender? (Without rendering) If you have courses on how you create your videos, I would like to sign up and learn.
Ive been taking a look at his upload dates and video lengths and as far as I can see he needs a whole month for each 7½ minutes of his video (2 months for 15 minutes etc). This means he needs around 4 days in average for each minute of content he produces. (I would guess he works around an hour daily but relaxed, his videos look very passionate, so I think he has a huge fun making them every day, almost like a video game) All this information is just my guess based on analysing his situation and combining it with my own experience throughout life
have seen this day in and day out, yet did not think there was so much behind this to be explained. Very nicely done. Thank You for the very informative video
Jared can you do a video where you explain how a party popper/ confetti popper works. You could also do how fireworks work too, they would all be great for a July 4th video.
I never could close my blinds and I always just had to play with it until it worked. After 15 years on this planet I have learned. Thank you. I love you. Its 12:30 A.M.
GREAT video. The string in my blinds broke from friction and it seemed absurd to automatically treat them as so much landfill. I found your video; will buy a new string and fix them myself. Thank you!
Thank you so much, my blinds were stuck and the sun kept waking me up way earlier than normal! Knowing how the mechanism worked helped me to unstick it!
Sharing this with the 5 million tourists that come through town 😂 oh wait, then I’m out of work 😂 Stellar animation my dude, couldn’t have explained it better myself!
Jared, thank you for showing me how to fix my blind - it had a jammed tilt string. Your instructions were generic enough for me. I was concerned that a part might be broken, but no thing was broken. Happy me.

Using "This little light of mine" in the background is genius.

Amazing animation, one of the clearest I've watched, and thanks for giving the parts their names ie "end stiffeners".
This was more like a “how to use window blinds 101” for me
Same. I was scared of these things before. Cause I was scared of breaking them.
same, I never knew how to slide them back down 'till now
Same didn’t know how to make them stat ever 😤
Same I thought my blinds were broken but turns out I'm just an idiot
Is this American or Australian
You should do how does a seatbelt in a car work
Excellent idea
hahahaHah what a funny comment man have a great day
@@bobmcboblin There's also the inertia lock that allows the belt to be extended gently but locks if pulled quickly, and the retractor that keeps the belt tight.
My bus has those exact seatbelts, mosly on the seats (safeguard belts), so I want to know how they work.
That would be a real short video tho. The mechanism isn't too complex.
Dude your videos are so brilliantly made
I use my blinds everyday but I never really figured out why they work. You put everything so plainly and the visuals are extremely clear.

Thanks Matthew! The staff at FixMyBlinds is super awesome, I hope to work with them again in the future
@@JaredOwen can they fix our blinds?
Thank you so much for this video ❤. I finally learnt how to keep my window open all the way. Loving all the sunlight that now comes through. Thank you
Video idea: A video on how you make these amazing graphics. My mind is blown by your videos.
Thank you! I'll do a behind the scenes in the near future

This informational video production beats all the rest...hands down!
This guy is literally the answer to our childhood curiousity
Fascinating. And a slick transition into the plug. Nicely done.
Now I finally know how to use these things properly
This is fantastic. I think the integration with the sponsor was a great way of getting something for yourself. You're doing awesome work.

how do you know it was done in Blender....i am also very interested in learning how to do such animations....

Thank you Jared . Now from you video I finally learned after years and years of struggling of learning how lift and lower the blinds. Many thanks 🙏
Can you please do what was inside the Hindenburg :)
Hydrogen, there was Hydrogen
This one is on my list actually. Look for it later this year
I love that you go into these small details
The world's greatest mystery finally solved.

I can finally sleep in peace now.
Thank you so much for this explanation! I just got some Venetian blinds for my back door and hadn't a clue how they worked! Merry Christmas.
It's 3 am what am I doing with my life
Thanks for watching - hope you get some sleep soon!

Thanks jared, because of you I don't throw away my window blind. Greeting from Indonesia
apart from the high-quality animation the explanations are very lucid and clear - easy to understand
