I dont really like incogni. They dont let you cancel with a button. You have to email in to cancel your plan which feels kinda scammy and ridiculous when they know how to build an impressive UI
It doesn't have to be about the part. He could have chanfered...the... face...plate. You know what? He should have chamfered something is what I'm saying.
Now it is on you to build the best you can with it. A lot of people are watching. From all the strangest places. I mean I am lying on my bed in Spitzbergen in the polar night and hope that your race car will be awesome!
And the 2024 award for the least annoying ad spot goes to Inheritance Machining. Not only did you cover your sponsor's product, you did it so seamlessly and unobtrusively with content I actually wanted to watch that I didn't feel like skipping it.
Reminds me of that travel booking site ad where the woman has to be the scarecrow herself or the guy is trying to catch salmon in a fountain. "HoW cAn I mAkE tHe PaRt If I dOn'T kNoW wHaT iT iS lIkE tO BE tHe PaRt??!!!?"
I´m from Germany and was 4 years in a formula student team. The passion in these teams is amazing and the most alumni support were they could. AWESOME!
My boyfriend introduced me to your channel, love your videos, we always watch it together, he's at work now, I'm gonna wait for him to come back and watch this with him!!!
In the fall of 1973, I was a freshman mechanical engineering student at UK. I had a used Post log log sliderule that my dad had given me. I was so proud of that instrument and even knew how to use. About mid term a couple of “rich kids” showed up with TI electronic calculators that cost more than my tuition. They were cool but not very useful for a ME student. Fast forward to fall of 1974 when TI released their log log calculator. It still cost more than my tuition but I lusted for one. I had fotally forgotten this until I saw your graphing calculator. Thanks for the memory.
My dad got a couple of those amazing early calculators on research grants in the UK & I got to use them! 'magical' besides the log tables & slide rules!
The first end mill probably broke because you are using a 4 flute endmill on aluminium. Aluminium is gummy so using a 2 flute endmill would give more clearance for the chips to escape without jamming the endmill into the part.
Personally a three flute works best unless you're going small. At least on my machine, it tops out at 7.5k rpm so I can't crank a two flute up high enough to do anything super fast.
Material gummyness has nothing to do with it. A 2 flute tool is much weaker than a 4 flute due to the core diameter of flutes. Breaking a tool is always due to taking too much material plus the sharpness of said tool. Stainless is gummy if you run the wrong speed as most people run tools too fast.
Glad you are supporting the Formula SAE team! That is a great way for engineering students to get real world experience, and support of people like you that can help keep their costs down is a key to success for them. Well done!
At 15:25 when that cut off dropped my instincts screamed to shut it down and clear that bit. Then you kept cutting I braced for it, here it comes. SNAP! Called it.
Not a machinist, when I saw that my first thought was that exactly this would happen. Was expecting him to stop and take those pieces off manually with a saw then mill the leftovers or something.
I did it! I watched your entire back log of videos including this one and your previous 3. I have learned a ton and I can already see that having the perspective you have provided has helped me at work. I am a project manager that works with engineers on a daily basis, your expertise has helped me understand this subject matter so much more. The videos are so well made, the story telling is excellent and it’s so easy to get invested in your projects! When that dial indicator shows run out I deflate with you, when it doesn’t move I’m so stoked for you! Congratulations on an awesome channel and thanks for a month of learning and entertainment.
I’m retired for machining a long time, but you, sir are a stud, an engineer, and a machinist of massive talent. Thanks a lot for keeping me and a whole bunch of others entertained happy holidays.
Another great program like this is first robotics, starting at elementary level with lego mindstorms, then middle school moving up to vex kits, and finally highschools making full sized custom built bots weighing in at 300 pounds, competing them in a new game every year. Most of the events are open to the public too, even if you're not on a team or an alumni from one.
I am a MSUK scrutineer and often help out at Silverstone with Formula Student checking safety of the cars. A great learning concept my favourite event of the year. A great bunch of students.
Ii would like to thank you for contributing to the learning and helping of a program like this. When I was in high-school our shop teacher approached me and asked if I'd like to help him start a school drag race program and let me tell you as a gear head 16 year old you could imagine the excitement I had, it was some of the best experiences of my life being able to take some of my skills and some other skills I didn't yet possess and express them. I truly believe that without that amazing teacher and that program I don't think I would have gotten to get my grade 12 diploma and to top it off I ended up graduating half a year earlier. I doubt he will see this comment but thank you for being more than just a teacher Phil Maclaren.
Watching a manual approach to making a complex part such as this is definitely more fun to watch than a CNC forming it. I did enjoy the previous video where you competed wit the CNC. But this video has a sort of Zen quality to it.
Woke up in a funk. I've gotta go in for a medical procedure in about an hour, and im feeling not great about it. Then I saw a new upload from IM, and it was just what i needed. The editing is always spot on, and the therapeutic nature of the machining process is always a win. Your voice is very fitting for narration, as well. If this machining thing ever...crashes (bad pun 🥴), you should narrate audiobooks, lol. Would have loved to see the radius fixture used here. It's my 2nd favorite fabrication you've done (gear cutter cutter and cutter mechanism was #1 and the clutched die holder was #3). I was a machinist before joining the Army, and since I retired last year, I've been wanting to get back into it. You're channel is a great inspiration. My favorite thing about it is that it's a realistic perspective from the viewpoint of a hobby machinist. Alot of other machining channels are cool, but there's no personal connection because they often times film in a huge shop with millions of $ in machinery and tools. Your shop feels so much more attainable for the aspiring machinist. Thanks for posting!
its funny i just started a mechanical engineering major and joined the formula SAE team. by far the best part of it is that you get exposed to a bunch of concepts in physics, cad and machining way before you are exposed to them through the regular course work. Like at my college you take a class on manufacturing but its in your junior year and I as a freshman am getting to go in a get experience making drawings and making the parts as well as the capabilities of different machines and manufacturing processes.
Love your channel and your videos, and as someone who has been on an FSAE team, I love that you help out the Kentucky team and tell other people about FSAE!
Something that I always appreciate, is how consistant you are, its really easy to make a small mistake machining as I have learned time and time again, and the fact that you make very few on complex parts always impresses me
Doing an electric FSAE car at University of Kansas this year! Wish us luck as we starting manufacturing and laying up our chassis this month. I love watching other teams building their cars.
Awesome! As someone who has rarely used my rotary table and always finds it daunting and confusing, I would have liked to see a lot more about the setups for each cut- maybe a follow-up video showing the setups?
Man, it’s awesome to hear that you were a Formula SAE competitor! I was involved with Baja SAE in Brazil for 25 years (1998 to 2022), starting as a student and eventually serving as the technical committee general director and a team professor. It’s inspiring to see you still supporting the team and passing on your knowledge to the next generation!
Its always hilarious when the wrong tool does the right job for you, that always makes me have a chuckle, keep up this awesome work I have watched all your videos so far, they are AWESOME!
Y'all don't have any idea how excited I got when I heard the full intro song in this video and not the shortened one used in some of the recent videos. Brandon I don't think you know how much these videos mean to some if us. My hyperfixation on machining aside, your videos helped me through a pretty dark time and they continue do so even now. Thank you for making them.
A „classical“ inheritance machining video, I‘m so happy to see that format back!! Now only the drawing machine needs to have it’s comeback and 2025 is up to a great start ❤
from a programming guy who has no idea about lathes and machining...you make machining look so interesting. i've watched every single one of your videos since the bolt action pen one. thank you for this amazing content
"be the part" had me in bits lol. Im loving the random spins on these videos still man! Keep it going, been around from near the start and love every video still!
This video was awesome to see. Im part of the Baja SAE team at my university and its inspiring to see my favorite machinist in a similar program as I step through my mill qualifications.
Love your videos. Soothing voice and machining = great Friday for me. I just find machining so mesmerising even though I don’t know anything about it 😅
Thanks for supporting formula SAE! I'm glad to be the advisor for our group at Slippery Rock University, and your videos help me figure out how to make the most out of our small machine shop.
Working with solid models and fancy mills.. All the latest tech... I really enjoy watching how this part ( and all the stuff your doing on here ) would be made the "hard way". Stuff I've never been exposed to just because I came into it long after these techniques needed to be used. Kudos on a great channel.
Love it!! I made the very similar diff mounts on my cnc four years ago ❤️ I also had to machine some excentric plates to be able to adjust the tension of the chain drive. It was one of my first cnc jobs I have done, rip 10mm.
Inbetween your videos I'm rewatching everything you ever uploaded because of how much your humor and storytelling fits me. I would honestly quit my job and come to US just to learn everything from you and make my living from machining.
Cool part, cool puns, cool side project ( yes watching you restore tools is satisfying). Just in case we’re not on the good list and get another video before Christmas, Merry Christmas to you and the Mrs.!
My grandpa taught me lots of important things and one of them was "Clearance is clearance." It gets sketchy at microns, but otherwise you're good! LOL Thanks for the video, Brandon.
Great video! And this really shows how much work it would really be when the designer hits the "Fillet" button in the CAD if we didn't have CNC machines available.
I managed to get on the FSAE team at my local university when I was 17 lol. It was kinda fun but I was just starting out my auto shop at the time so I got bored with it and stopped going. I might have to go back sometime though and try it again
why aren't you using a 2 or 3 flute endmill with the aluminum? that could be a reason the endmill broke; not enough chip evacuation area in the flutes and it got loaded quicker with the higher RPM and snapped.
FSAE alumni here as well, I knew as soon as I saw the parts what they were for! 24 years after starting the FSAE program at my Uni, they are still going strong. Can't say enough good things about this competition!
I'm the Team Captain of uOAVC and seeing this kind of support for student teams is inspiring in the least. It's not easy spending all your time on an engineering degree and then a little bit more to get something this complicated to work. You sir are a scholar and a gentleman and I tip my hat to you.
2:06 - I love it when creators go out of their way to do something incredibly dumb or time consuming for a bit that literally last two and a half seconds XD
"Quick Robin, let us turn the sketchiness up to 11!" It is great that you're doing this for your team as an alumnus. Supporting education is one of the most important public services those of us with skill and knowledge can do.
You should suggest to the team to include some sort of registration on their clamp. Either a pin or a step that will aid in locating the two halves, and so they can only be installed in their original orientation. A bolt shouldn’t have to do that many jobs
@@ttargetss I think there's a ledge in the bore that can register against the mating components, but so long as it doesn't overconstrain, that's a great suggestion.
I assumed from watching the bore going in prior to the cut it would have to be fractured to stay round enough to hold a bearing race. The slitting without going back to redo the bore is a little perplexing to me. But maybe I'm missing something.
@gogmorgoaway Based on my reading of the CAD prints on screen near the beginning, this is as-designed. Either they have a reason or it's an important lesson for an up and coming engineer: a good machinist will create your exact specifications, even when they're wrong. Of course, a great machinist can interpret your intent and verify that's what you meant, but designs are the moment to measure like six times. (I'm currently several hundred dollars and two weeks into an "oh, this is easy" ventilation project I designed and built, so I am currently bitter; please accept apologies if I seem brusk)
@@BetweenTheBorders Looking at the CAD model again there's what looks to be an adapter plate getting clamped inside this adapter, and the adapter looks like it holds the actual bearing races and diff. So I guess I was missing something. Looks like the adapter is also offset, so rotating it and clamping it down would allow setting and fixing chain tension.
It was your episode making the spindles last time, for the Formula SAE team that took me to your channel. Since then I've watched every episode. Love it!
i used to vinyl wrap the car for our local formula student team, its mindblowing how much goes into these cars and the performance of those things is equally impressive. nice part on your end, it will be greatly appreciated by that team i bet.
I don’t remember where I first got the link for this channel. Maybe Reddit, maybe it was a YT recommendation. The fact is, I’m so glad I found it and have been on this journey with you. It was dark and heavy at first as you found your voice in story telling but you’ve slowly morphed into an open, funny, and charismatic narrator. You’re unafraid to poke fun at yourself, try insane things, and persist in your desired path no matter if you know you’re going about it the wrong way. It’s been amazing to laugh at genuine comedy especially this episode. Wishing you and your family all the best and thanks again for sharing with all of us.
I am just now finishing my degree in Mechanical Engineering, and I joined my school's FSAE team from the get-go. By far the most grueling, stressful, painful, yet rewarding experience I've ever had in my life. Before FSAE I could only change the oil in my car. I am now leaving FSAE with a job in motorsports as an engineer. I learned to TIG weld, use manual machines, program CNCs, and stretched my CAD abilities to heights way above my peers. The friendships and mentors I've met are invaluable. I'm gonna miss it so much.
Controversial opinion here, but i think for the beginner hobbyist, buying the largest lathe you can accomodate is far more productive than going the mini lathe + micro mill path. Both those machines represent a large chunk of space if thats limited, and a huge expense even if you shop used. And if you buy retail you are looking at the price of a nice used car for both machines and the accessories and tooling needed. And you are locked into small parts and projects forever more. Meanwhile, a moderately sized lathe in the 12"+ range, with a pair of chucks and a face plate can be bought for less than the cost of the cheapest mini lathe if you spend some time searching. And that face plate in particular opens up a world of opportunity, thanks to the size and weight of that machine. You dont have the convenience of a traditional mill, things wont be as obvious when looking for solutions, but as a beginner, thats great practice.
If you come up to the May FSAE event in Michigan and are interested in checking out the technical inspection process please feel free to stop by (I am one of the chiefs of tech). I appreciate that you are promoting FSAE - the people who go through it are so much better for it when they graduate and come to industry!
A lucky accident that you had that clearance issue. Those standoffs made the later milling much easier - and you didn't have to remount it on the face-plate between steps. Small wins.
I'm 19, in med school. I can't, for the life of me, think of a reason to watch this videos of a random man cutting stuff up to make smaller and in different format stuff. Yet here i am, and i enjoy every single moment of it :D
as a CNC guy watching this makes me crazy. plasma cut, swap model into CAM and set toolpaths, set tools, set up part and mill about 1 and a half hours. You done very well
Rich Boy! Jokes aside, I was in Baja, the cheap version of formula lol. I loved every second of it, I am so happy you still help your school out, That is amazing!
Take your personal data back with Incogni! Use code INHERITANCE at the link below and get 60% off an annual plan: incogni.com/inheritance
At 19:08 it looks like a small amount of material is lost, does that affect the shape of the circle in a significant way?
Second bracket went to CNC!
@@guytech7310 That's an interesting idea, send one off to CNC and compare and see the differences
I dont really like incogni. They dont let you cancel with a button. You have to email in to cancel your plan which feels kinda scammy and ridiculous when they know how to build an impressive UI
Like I'm not getting Incogni, because nobody really bothers me, but your ad was fantastic. Best I've seen yet, and I see a lot.
If there aren't chamfers in this episode I will riot.
Edit: Alright boys, lets get the pitchforks.
But if they are not in the drawings, can he do them?
It doesn't have to be about the part. He could have chanfered...the... face...plate. You know what? He should have chamfered something is what I'm saying.
Where… are… my …. Chamfers
Went to the comment section to say this.
Totally unacceptable, unsubscribing immediately.
It's a structural part, best to just sand the sharp edges than to remove material in this case.
We appreciate all the work you have done for us over the years and are very appreciative to have you as a dedicated alumni.
Now it is on you to build the best you can with it.
A lot of people are watching. From all the strangest places. I mean I am lying on my bed in Spitzbergen in the polar night and hope that your race car will be awesome!
Best of luck. Give MSOE my love, but beat everyone else.
please keep asking him for parts, these videos are great
Best of luck to you!!
You meant to say aluminium?
And the 2024 award for the least annoying ad spot goes to Inheritance Machining. Not only did you cover your sponsor's product, you did it so seamlessly and unobtrusively with content I actually wanted to watch that I didn't feel like skipping it.
Well said! I totally agree. The first makers video I’v seen where I didn’t want to skip the add
Can I give him a half upvote for that ad tactic?
@tomhesketh7845 Cassey Ladelle does that on his channel regularly.
MTN drives me nuts with their add interrupted feeds on a regular basis.
I skipped it still, but like for real, his are the best there is
2:06 - perfect shot for YT channel banner!
them delts tho
Needs a poster making
Also: what a perfectly crafted shot! My inner photography nerd really appreciates this awesome single hard light source.
Some here wished to be behind the camera ( not me )

I´m from Germany and was 4 years in a formula student team. The passion in these teams is amazing and the most alumni support were they could. AWESOME!
It speaks very highly of the value of the extracurricular programs when Alumni consistently want to support it later, no matter what it is.
My boyfriend introduced me to your channel, love your videos, we always watch it together, he's at work now, I'm gonna wait for him to come back and watch this with him!!!
this is so cute
Wholesome comment

Same.
I was clenching the whole time
Just because you can design something assuming CNC, doesn’t mean you should. The simpler design is usually better, even if it does get done by CNC.

Widdle baby Brandon
I was going to say the same thing.. I was not prepared for Baby Brandon! 😅
But semi-nude Brandon was…? 😂
I’m retired for machining a long time, but you, sir are a stud, an engineer, and a machinist of massive talent. Thanks a lot for keeping me and a whole bunch of others entertained happy holidays.
It's more than cool that you stay involved with these students. I remember you mentioning this program some time back. Very decent of you to help.

Last I knew, the weight limit was 120 lbs for FRC, exclusive of bumpers and battery.
i agree with everything except the mindstorms

I like how your concept of "shallower depth of cut" is simply a third of the part thickness instead of half.
Awesome! As someone who has rarely used my rotary table and always finds it daunting and confusing, I would have liked to see a lot more about the setups for each cut- maybe a follow-up video showing the setups?
That sound brings me back to the days of machining warped and rusted brake rotors in the shop. The nostalgia was welcomed

I could have sworn these were our diff mounts for our 2024 A&M FSAE car, the shape is super similar. Love seeing these FSAE videos!
Great video! And this really shows how much work it would really be when the designer hits the "Fillet" button in the CAD if we didn't have CNC machines available.
I managed to get on the FSAE team at my local university when I was 17 lol. It was kinda fun but I was just starting out my auto shop at the time so I got bored with it and stopped going. I might have to go back sometime though and try it again
why aren't you using a 2 or 3 flute endmill with the aluminum? that could be a reason the endmill broke; not enough chip evacuation area in the flutes and it got loaded quicker with the higher RPM and snapped.
Came here to say that.
Me too 20:50
My wife always comes running when I yell out loud, saying "what's wrong!?"; I play back the part where IM breaks an endmill...
@@BrilliantDesignOnline i just had the same experience, except with my roommate walking past my door hahaha
FSAE alumni here as well, I knew as soon as I saw the parts what they were for! 24 years after starting the FSAE program at my Uni, they are still going strong. Can't say enough good things about this competition!
You did well sir.-but even better- you did well for those kids in colledge. You deserve and have earned my respect.!
I'm the Team Captain of uOAVC and seeing this kind of support for student teams is inspiring in the least. It's not easy spending all your time on an engineering degree and then a little bit more to get something this complicated to work. You sir are a scholar and a gentleman and I tip my hat to you.
Oh yay! It's been a long time since we've seen an old rusted piece of equipment get cleaned up.
2:06 - I love it when creators go out of their way to do something incredibly dumb or time consuming for a bit that literally last two and a half seconds XD
I rarely comment on videos, but I wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your channel. Especially when you bring your wife on board. GREAT JOB.
That ad had so much love put in, I hope they paid you well
i have actually donated tuning and dyno time for a FSAE car for local students years ago
"Quick Robin, let us turn the sketchiness up to 11!" It is great that you're doing this for your team as an alumnus. Supporting education is one of the most important public services those of us with skill and knowledge can do.
As a former FSAE alumni I really appreciate the visibility you bring to the program!
Always look forward to your videos, educational, self deprecating and just fun. Thanks for all the videos.
Such a great video!!!! All the things i love about Inheritance Machining, the shots and details are so interesting
You should suggest to the team to include some sort of registration on their clamp. Either a pin or a step that will aid in locating the two halves, and so they can only be installed in their original orientation. A bolt shouldn’t have to do that many jobs
@@ttargetss I think there's a ledge in the bore that can register against the mating components, but so long as it doesn't overconstrain, that's a great suggestion.
I assumed from watching the bore going in prior to the cut it would have to be fractured to stay round enough to hold a bearing race. The slitting without going back to redo the bore is a little perplexing to me. But maybe I'm missing something.
@gogmorgoaway Based on my reading of the CAD prints on screen near the beginning, this is as-designed. Either they have a reason or it's an important lesson for an up and coming engineer: a good machinist will create your exact specifications, even when they're wrong. Of course, a great machinist can interpret your intent and verify that's what you meant, but designs are the moment to measure like six times. (I'm currently several hundred dollars and two weeks into an "oh, this is easy" ventilation project I designed and built, so I am currently bitter; please accept apologies if I seem brusk)
@@BetweenTheBorders Looking at the CAD model again there's what looks to be an adapter plate getting clamped inside this adapter, and the adapter looks like it holds the actual bearing races and diff. So I guess I was missing something. Looks like the adapter is also offset, so rotating it and clamping it down would allow setting and fixing chain tension.
I think you are a engineer with many talents and not scared to try something new, next to that your humor is golden 😂
Great looking parts. Also this is why i love waterjet existing.
I guess I have been watching your videos for three years now. Keep up the good work and interesting content!
Wow. More crazy setup and great machining. I learned a lot.
great video! love these types of projects. it's very cool that you're promoting these racing programs.
It was your episode making the spindles last time, for the Formula SAE team that took me to your channel. Since then I've watched every episode. Love it!
i used to vinyl wrap the car for our local formula student team, its mindblowing how much goes into these cars and the performance of those things is equally impressive. nice part on your end, it will be greatly appreciated by that team i bet.
I hope the team watches this. It's good to see the manual skills are still valuable.
I don’t remember where I first got the link for this channel. Maybe Reddit, maybe it was a YT recommendation. The fact is, I’m so glad I found it and have been on this journey with you. It was dark and heavy at first as you found your voice in story telling but you’ve slowly morphed into an open, funny, and charismatic narrator. You’re unafraid to poke fun at yourself, try insane things, and persist in your desired path no matter if you know you’re going about it the wrong way. It’s been amazing to laugh at genuine comedy especially this episode. Wishing you and your family all the best and thanks again for sharing with all of us.
Beautiful work as always!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Interesting to see your methods of making that part. Thank you for sharing :)
I am just now finishing my degree in Mechanical Engineering, and I joined my school's FSAE team from the get-go. By far the most grueling, stressful, painful, yet rewarding experience I've ever had in my life. Before FSAE I could only change the oil in my car. I am now leaving FSAE with a job in motorsports as an engineer. I learned to TIG weld, use manual machines, program CNCs, and stretched my CAD abilities to heights way above my peers. The friendships and mentors I've met are invaluable. I'm gonna miss it so much.
Seeing parts like this makes me love the waterjet cutter at work. Probably 15 - 20 minutes cutting time in 15mm aluminium.
Controversial opinion here, but i think for the beginner hobbyist, buying the largest lathe you can accomodate is far more productive than going the mini lathe + micro mill path.
Both those machines represent a large chunk of space if thats limited, and a huge expense even if you shop used. And if you buy retail you are looking at the price of a nice used car for both machines and the accessories and tooling needed. And you are locked into small parts and projects forever more.
Meanwhile, a moderately sized lathe in the 12"+ range, with a pair of chucks and a face plate can be bought for less than the cost of the cheapest mini lathe if you spend some time searching. And that face plate in particular opens up a world of opportunity, thanks to the size and weight of that machine.
You dont have the convenience of a traditional mill, things wont be as obvious when looking for solutions, but as a beginner, thats great practice.
If you come up to the May FSAE event in Michigan and are interested in checking out the technical inspection process please feel free to stop by (I am one of the chiefs of tech). I appreciate that you are promoting FSAE - the people who go through it are so much better for it when they graduate and come to industry!
A lucky accident that you had that clearance issue. Those standoffs made the later milling much easier - and you didn't have to remount it on the face-plate between steps. Small wins.
I love seeing this video every year.
Super interesting part I don't know how I would have machined this myself but loved how you handled it.
This was a very enjoyable video to watch, Always learning something that I can do with the machines at my disposal when watching you work.
I'm 19, in med school. I can't, for the life of me, think of a reason to watch this videos of a random man cutting stuff up to make smaller and in different format stuff.
Yet here i am, and i enjoy every single moment of it :D
as a CNC guy watching this makes me crazy. plasma cut, swap model into CAM and set toolpaths, set tools, set up part and mill about 1 and a half hours.
You done very well
The dutch angle at 11:00 through me for a loop. Reminded me of 2000's semi-educational tv. Like "how its made" or something.
The comically large insert for the tool holder during the initial facing is just great!
Always a great Saturday waking up to one of your videos.
I join the sae Baja. And so far it’s bin a lot of fun your really helping people like me. Thank you
Rich Boy! Jokes aside, I was in Baja, the cheap version of formula lol. I loved every second of it, I am so happy you still help your school out, That is amazing!
