NYCCNC is an amazing channel. I recommend going back 4 years and starting there. John was a Taig guy that has just exploded his business into a full blown machine shop. He covers a lot of 5 axis stuff these days.

It always brings a smile to my face when I see NYCNC say to tom lipton that his self centering vice doesn't exactly self center :) , tom sort of just smiles like "yeah you might find that".

Tulsa boatbuilder's extreme prank stirs anger and support online

In a video posted Monday morning to the SV Seeker YouTube page, Doug Jackson's girlfriend delivers a dire message. "He was basically unconscious. There was a lot of blood. I really don't know what happened," Betsy Warner said in the video. But that was an act. "We've had no injuries here beyond...

Lots of interesting stuff on the 'tube, for sure, but somehow I really struggle with video clips as a means of instruction. They're great for demonstration and exhibition, really well-suited to that, but video as a medium is poor for the conveyance of information, so I find my self getting frustrated and shuttling through videos on account of slow pacing and weak content. It's a signal-to-noise type of thing for me, which leads me to ask: Read any good books lately? Does anyone read anymore? This isn't meant to be insulting, I like this forum and respect it's members. I've just had some awkward experiences trying to teach others how to do basic shop work and been asked for YouTube links. I kind of shrug and say I just gave a thorough explanation of the process, then recommend some reading and suggest they come back when they figure it out. Does that make me a 40-something curmudgeon who is stuck in 1990, intolerant of millennial behavior or is it something else? There's something about me that my colleagues find amusing. Whenever anyone comes into my office for technical or professional advice, they usually aren't able to leave without a stack of reading material that provides the foundation for the answers to their questions. And I'm usually offended when they don't help themselves by reading it... So, not to bag on YouTube, and definitely not to bag on any of you, but have we started devolving due to time spent gawking at screens?

None of this changes the fact that Clickspring is amazing, Stefan Gotteswinter does incredible work, and Mr. Pete makes me feel like I'm in shop class again. I just don't know if an education can be extracted from watching TV.

You surely are not offending me. My Mother was an elementary/middle school teacher for 30+ years. A bit of her style rubbed off, ya might say.
If you cannot read and sort thru the fundamentals, then the Utoob quick and dirty will not stick so well.

I laughed as I read the line about 'a stack of material'. My kids are just shaking their heads.....

Why would you fake something that severe that is just not right.

You got that right. And then if you look at his response to the people that didn't think it was funny you realize he is just an arrogant jackwagon.

Thanks for the term "jackwagon", new to me. I think he might have done it to offend folks who object to his disdain for ppe, but I may be wrong. Back to our regularly scheduled program...

I find myself drawn more to more focused videos- less "edutainment" and more to the point now that I'm actually trying to make things. Several of Joe Pie's videos have been super timely and helpful- I go directly to the shop after watching these and get to work.
