    As a self-taught "Pretengineer," I'm often making it up as I go. It is pivotal that I find and continually consume GOOD information, and I must say that you, Sir, are an absolute gem and a fantastic teacher to boot. I owe you, Destin, StuffMadeHere, ThisOldTony, MakersMuse, PunishedProps, and Blondihacks for a large portion of my "skills" and inspirations. Thank you for everything you do, Jeremy. đź’ś

    You've heard the adage "Is the coffee cup half full or half empty?" An engineer looks at the cup and says "That cup is twice as big as it needs to be."
  • Drawing gears can intimidate even an experienced hobbiest. This was like going back to school. Great video!
  • @Hellhound604
    Ooofffffff, that reminds me sooo much of a class I had to take in 2nd year engineering at university (1980) long before CAD… had to design those gears with a compass and graph-paper… vaguely I remember some fellow-students had some plastic-templates that they used, but us poor students without money couldn’t afford it, so, compass and graph-paper was it for us… got a total fear of gears and gear-boxes back then….thank god we have CAD-tools nowadays.
  • @neoncyber2001
    Your videos are always great! Always have great, useful information!
  • @randxalthor
    Thank you for making this! Designing and fabricating gears is a black art. So much of it is tribal knowledge dispersed across dozens of industries and thousands of institutions.
  • Shout out to Mattias Wandel's gear template generator. There's a free online version or you can support him by buying the $26 Windows program that supports more complex gears.
  • Awesome job, Jeremy! Fantastic work! I can't wait to see the next installment for this series.
  • @andrewn7365
    This series is amazing and extremely informative! Thank you for these videos and as always I look forward to your next one
  • LOTS OF projects use beaded ball chain as it can change directions. Could you show how to design a driver pulley using SolidWorks?
  • @vandhanmurali
    Hi Jeremy, greetings from India. ❤. Very interesting content bro. Keep it up! 💯💯
  • @solomon__ejay
    Thank you so much Jeremy. This resource is absolutely invaluable. You're a blessing!
  • @adams13f
    Great videos can't wait for the next one I've been taking apart everything!!!!!!
  • You're amazing. Think about it though. It's even more amazing how the people in the 1800's designed locomotives, and automobile parts later, without access to CAD tools. It's even more mind boggling than this video, how they could do so much with so little. Jayman...
  • @essobregor9775
    Interesting video with info I will probably use at some point in my 3D printing future. Thank you.
  • Speaking of that CNC table saw, have you ever considered selling plans for that? That project is rent free in my mind all the time.
  • Great video, was great to see you at maker central, I was a bit in awe , sorry I called you that engineer guy, I did know your name lol
