Building the Ultimate "Dr. Who" Work Station - Jeremy Fielding

As someone who trained as an engineer back in the 1970's (a 5yr apprenticeship) I am blown away with the way you have self taught engineering and many other skills not available back then. This Desk has to be one of your most gratifying builds, I suspect! especially as the recipient is someone, who, despite life challenges, has a superb attitude and special skillset in engineering herself. You are the Man Jeremy! A fantastic engineering and artistic project you, and your fellow makers, can be proud of. Well Done Sir.

Thank you so much for brining us into the project Jeremy!! It was amazing working with you on it.

As a quadriplegic Mechanical engineer, this felt so good to watch. I just started my professional career (post PhD), but I hope to be able to dedicate my time and skills to developing assistive technology to improve independence to those who lost it!

That's amazing! Really liked seeing how you incorporated plywood and metal to support the 3D prints. But I think the real jewel of the whole video is the last sentence -when asked what she's going to make - "You never know when you get bored when you have a bunch of random components in a toolbox"

I make weird stuff in imaginary 3D land all the time, and this is the first time one of my wild concept models has been taken to the finish line in real life. It's surreal. Jeremy you are a wizard, I don't know how you put all that together despite all our sloppy modeling practices. And to have it be for such an awesome cause, and such an awesome person in Jenica is the real triumph here.

Jeremy Fielding and Colin Furze should join up on a joint project and break the internet.

Well done Jeremy. A heartwarming use of your talents, and a great example for your kids, and the rest of us.

I can only say WOW! Wow for the design; wow for the execution; and, most of all, wow for the wonderful gesture. Kudos to you, Jeremy, and everyone else who participated.

I Just can’t tell you enough how much I absolutely love your channel and ALL your Projects. I would love to hang out with you in your Garage/Studio and see this stuff in person. I also love your personality 😊🎉❗️I hope that your kids know how lucky they are to have you. May God Bless you and your family. Thank you 🙏, Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊❗️

For me, doing projects, any project, for a person with special needs is one of the most rewarding endeavors imaginable. Thank you, Jeremy for sharing your experience.

To make the cut edges clear: cut, sand, scrape (as with a cabine scraper), and the run an oxyacetylene torch very quickly over the edge to make perfectly clear. This trick is used in the special effects depts. all of the time.

Excellent job! The acrylic was actually salvageable. You can buff the stain out with polishing compound just as you can with headlights. The clouded rough edges can be sanded and blowtorched.

As a volunteer for magic wheelchair, thank you very much for your time sir.

So awesome seen your collaboration with smarter everyday as well. I been watching your channel for a while back when you were pulling washing machines and treadmills off the side of the road and making your shop equipment to now using that to make this amazing desk you have certainly came full circle

Love your channel, and this project was outstanding, the concept, art, functionality, and design. Not to mention the short fabrication time to deliver. Great job Jeremy! You worked another wonder. And you always have such a nice smile too. TY

We would use methylene chloride as a solvent for acrylics. For the edges we would flame glaze the edges with an oxy-acetylene torch. Also, if you are able, mix methylene chloride with acrylic shavings, place it on a roller until the mixture is thick and clear. It can then be used as a filler or filleting material. Takes practice, but it is worth it in the end. Good work though. The desk looks beautiful. And yes, I am a fan of Dr. Who. Love the series.

This was brilliant. I had no idea how anyone would fabricate the design you received, particularly in a one-person shop, but with your resources, smart subcontracting and practical experience it's no surprise how amazing the results are. I also want to add that I personally appreciate your attention to Janica's constraint specs. It looks like the desk fits perfectly in her room, and that may not have been the case if you hadn't corrected the dimensions. It may sound silly to praise an engineer for being precise, but I'm someone who struggles with perfectionism and mild OCD, and I can't begin to express how those little things can impact someone like me, so it's worth appreciating. 💜 Thank you as well for introducing me to The Smugglers Room! They did justice to your fabrication and to the original design. I don't know if Janica streams, but with an incredible setup like this, if she didn't before, she should start now.

Jeremy, thank you for bringing this good news story to your fans. To be an engineer one is a problem solver and you are a model problem solver.

And the best part of the desk is it is bigger on the inside :-) E X S O L D E R N A T E ! Awesome execution Jeremy, Cool design Dan and the SW team, and off the charts paint job by Brian and the Smugglers Room. Thank Magic Wheelchair for the backing.

I remember when you worked in a garden shed building stuff out of scrap wood and salvage motors. Fantastic to see how far you've come
