      Number 100 thumbs up......my CDO likes round even numbers! The box of shame is funny and this channel has a nice mix of practical and professional work along with the story telling and nice video shots. This Q&A answers a lot of questions I had. I also have a AS degree in photography and loved that it was a science degree, since I'm also a tradesman who is all about building and repairing and my grandfather was a tool and die maker for the aerospace industry. TOT didn't impress me and I must have blocked his channel since I never see videos from him. It makes sense now that this channel has a polished look even in earlier videos and hearing your background explains a lot. I can't wait to see what else you share.

      Yes, I do watch blacktail studios occasionally and they are quite similar. I love to see what really happens with the technical stuff, but can also get bored if it is all technical. They seem to have just enough cinematic or artistic quality to also impress that side of my mind. They leave out all the reality tv stuff that is over the top, which just ruins shows for those of us who are technical and who avoid drama.

    As a freelance realtime court reporter in my previous career I was fortunate to take verbatim testimony from many hundreds of engineers over 22 years and out of all the lawyers, doctors, and highly educated professionals I took verbatim testimony from, the engineers were the most enjoyable to work with. They were the most practical, the most honest, hardworking, respectful people you ever wanted to meet. No baloney, no lies, no manipulation, just plain facts and straight-to-the-point responses. Wonderful people. I never met an engineer I didn’t like! Keep up the great work!

    As a fellow RUclipsr and engineer (electrical), I am amazed at the expansiveness of your process. I am always focused on the project, procedure, and science and everything else falls by the wayside, mostly because of the time it takes. Your discussion of the time consuming process of making a video was telling. The ironic part, is that I have worked in the movie industry for 35 years and still produce amateurish content. Love your work. Keep it up.

    15:09 you explain how you write the script first then attach video clips to match; i find this fascinating and i think it's probably why your videos are so gripping. The bigger focus is the story about the part, rather than the shot taking priority and writing a script to match.

    Hey Brandon! Fantastic channel!
    Just to help fill in on dad, (your grandpa), very early on he worked in a number of automotive machine shops doing any number of machine operations on engine blocks, cylinder heads, etc. Being the sharp guy that he was, he got involved in drag racing & circle track racing. He and uncle Ron, (his brother), built some very competitive cars. They were also engine and chassis builders for a guy named Paul Day who raced a 1933 Willys called the "Agitator". When he started at Ford, he was a tool & die maker. At some point, (and I'm not 100% clear on this) he was offered an opportunity to take some test with a number of other machinist, tool & die makers, & maintenance folks. He was the top scorer & they promoted him to a process engineering position. He did all of this on a 9th grade education. A super smart guy, dad was! After being in engineering for quite a number of years, he wanted to go back into the shop and use his hands again. Again, I'm not 100% on this, but I believe he went back to tool & die making & machine repair. Then moved into the CMM room which is where he was when he retired from Ford. Oh yeah, in another video, you talked about the workbench dad built. He built that in the early to mid seventies. I remember because I wasn't quite a teenager yet and I helped him assemble all the lumber on it.

My dad was an engineer, and he would do a lot of wood working with big tools at home. I always watched with wonder.

So, thanks for giving me this vicarious pleasure.

    I’ve had 2 questions but you answered one (sort of).
    I am a knife maker (45 years) so heat treat is critical. I notice you sometimes use valuable tool steel but don’t heat treat it to get the full benefit. I’ll look forward to seeing this element brought in.
    Number 2. Have you thought about learning scraping? Not so much in the realm you are in but certainly an element for your machines and possibly some of the tools.
    Lastly (I thought of another one), had your surface place been checked and or resurfaced.
    Thank you for all you do.
    I too inherited a machine shop and bought some of my own (Southbend Mill) along with tooling. This is a real treasure trove of tinkering and fun.

    "Putting together presentations that are thoughtful and make sense and people actually want to watch is really challenging for me."
    Well I for one think you're doing a wonderful job, so kudos to you and Paige both.

    I learned mechanical drawing back before the days of CAD. A draftsman's moto. "Never draw in the morning what you can't erase in the afternoon." Having worked with a lot of different CAD programs over the years I still enjoy put the lead to the paper.

    It's really funny to me that we (and most tinkerers it seems) come from following around our grandpas and learning from them as well as just from taking apart our toys.
    Incidentally my grandpa was also involved with FoMoCo, and was even there in 1964 to see the first Mustang come off the line- because he was head QC inspector/foreman at Burlington Industries, who made the fabric for the interior components. If your grandpa was around at Ford then and made the dies and molds for the interiors, it might've been that our grandpas accidentally collaborated! :D

    Brilliant video, thank you for giving us a little insight into where you are and where you are from. I have enjoyed every video you have made so far, all the design work and the machining. It would be a pleasure to see you get to some of the more complex ideas, take a few weeks/months with one engineering job, as I know it will be something never seen before. Thank you for your time, onwards and upwards.

    This channel is A1 quality, I remember when I first discovered it (camera gantry) , I binged everything in the same day, I remember being shocked that I was already done. it was such a high quality content that I was expecting like 150 videos ! Also was very impressed by the high quality from the get-go!
    One of the select few that I have notification to "always"
    Beside ToT and smarter everyday
    Keep up the good work it's very much appreciated!

    Agreed on the Hardinge HLV-H. I found one local on Craigslist in 2016 for $2500. The apron gearbox was locked up from water based coolant use and practically every gear inside was toast. Since then it’s been through a complete rebuild including a bed plate regrind. That rework drove Rulon installation on the saddle and tailstock (most guys take the shortcut and shim the bed plate to restore leadscrew alignment). The machine holds tolerances better than it did fresh out of Elmira in 1969. It’s by far my favorite machine to use. The 10EE machines are nice but IMO their ergonomics leave a little to be desired. Keep up the great work.

    I got into machining a couple of years ago, and binged ToT's videos until I caught up to his hiatus. Your channel popped up during that time as if right on queue. I was shocked after watching your first couple of videos how few subscibers you had. Congrats on the massive growth since then! You are now my go-to for my evening watch of relaxing/interesting machining content. You definitely hit your goals of producing watchable, approachable content for machinists and non-machinists alike. You and your wife make a great team and the production quality could be easily mistaken for something you might see on broadcast TV.

    Also I especially love the drafting segments of your videos, I love 3d modeling but there is just something I just enjoy way to much when using my compass set

  • @chungsoy8287
    @chungsoy8287 8 месяцев назад

    Thank you so much for all your videos and insight into machining!
    I was working in assembly as an industrial engineering intern, then quality engineer, but your videos really inspired me and opened up my interest into machining. Earlier this year I moved over to a machining engineer role and I couldn’t be happier.
    Working on hitting all these tolerances and tooling really brings a different light to the quality and standard that you hold yourself to as well as the creativity in your designs.
    Thanks for all the inspiration and congratulations on the move to full time!

  • @BrorAppelsin
    @BrorAppelsin 8 месяцев назад +1

    Great stuff! I enjoy the drafting part perhaps even more than the actual machining content. It's interesting to see how an idea takes shape first on paper and then on metal.

  • @martinnguyen6884

    Your videos are always so entertaining to watch, I'm 18 and I've always loved watching and getting involved when my dad machines parts on our mini lathe for little projects. I too have RC cars and as you probably know, crashing and breaking parts is part of the hobby. We can either buy plastic parts that are priced way more than what they're worth, or we can make it ourselves from aluminium. So slowly my cars get upgraded just a little more after every crash. We have very limited amount of equipment and tools so the range of parts that we are able to make isn't very large. I also like to hand draw my designs as they're so much more satisfying, being able to look at a few different 2D drawings and being able to make a 3D object out of it is amazing. Watching your videos are super cool and educational as I get to see different machines get used for operations I didn't know was possible

    I really enjoy this channel and appreciate it very much. My grandfather also was a tool and die maker and worked for Mack Truck during WWII then for Johnson and Johnson later on. Like you, I inherited several tools from his shop, so it’s nice to watch something very familiar to me. It helps keep the memories of my time with him vivid. Thank you for sharing!

    you guys make machining look so effortless and calming to do,
    the mix between the smooth flow of the editing and the nice voiceover while still keeping a technical level in explanations and a super high tolerance in the machining made this to on of my top then favorite channels to watch.
    Props to your Wife and yourself for making such high quality videos, truly a joy to come back to every two weeks.
    (Also, i wouldnt mind seeing more goofy stuff during the videos like that time your wive handed you the shipping into the workshop by throwing it at you or more outtakes at the end of the videos :))

    I'm another fellow RUclipsr engineer and I love watching your videos. They kind of have a classy simplicity to them which comes through with your preference for hand drawings along with other traditional ways of making. It's amazing to me how many engineer RUclipsrs you can find with @Fixthisbuildthat, @shopnation, @stuffmadehere....etc. I think it shows a trend of engineers going to school to build or design something meaningful yet finding that the corporate atmosphere/working world is stifling in some regards. I think a lot of engineers like yourself want to see the whole process through and feel a sense of completion but the way things are compartmentalized keeps you from doing so. Truthfully, I feel the same way.

    I rebuild older shop machines. I have drawn many parts in 3d . Most drawn in 3d and than 3d printed. Corrected many small errors found before making the part. The last one was an improved bearing blade guide for a 20 inch Delta wood/metal band saw. If you want a project, make a X and Y axis hand wheel that can be shifted to a low/high ratio. This would HELP with the TAP Tap tap to get the .0002" DRO IN POSITION.
    I have printed hole pattern plates to check drawing and to use with transfer punches.

    Following Gramps around his shop and property is a lifelong happy memory. My love of woodworking came from him. Wood is a lot more forgiving and the box of shame is a fireplace. I will never do machining, but I love your movies; I choose to watch RUclipss that are well produced, that are good cinema. This has enlarged my world in a wonderful way. I'm only 80 and am in very good health so a big world is important. Humor helps!
