Hey everyone, I'm seeing that lots of traffic for this video is coming from work training websites and university websites. Please let me know if your teacher sent you here! I can't believe I'm teaching the next generation of engineers!
Tomorrow I start my first job as a graduate engineer. Today I've spent the whole day panicking realising I don't know sh*t. Your video has really helped to calm my nerves and just remind me of some of the basics that I had forgotten. THANK YOU!
@@AshA-ul2vs Haha thanks for letting me know Ash! One comment I often get from experienced people who watch this video is "wow I didn't realize how much I knew!" Congrats on getting a job good luck!
11th grader here, teacher took me here too
@@1xoverdose Awesome! Hello and thank you to your teacher! Tell them to feel free to reach out if they have further questions!
yes, our professor send us here and you taught very well *applause*
This isn't just a guide on how to do mechanical drawing it's a demonstration of how to make an excellent video
Thanks Edwin! I'm glad you liked it
I'm about to study mechanical engineering and I found this video to be very helpful, keep up the good work
Daniel marklund one of us! One of us!
Musa Cem DEMİR Time management is the most important aspect of studying.
Wow also me...
I can't read mechanical drawing so I'm trying to see if this video will help
I'm gonna be going into mechanical engineering and this video helped a lot and gave me a better view on the subject and how it works. Thank you.
This is bringing back flashbacks of my Mechanical Drawing days. (Where second years had T-Squares strapped to their backpacks in the 80’s).
I learned Front View, Side View and Top View. Those sequences will be forever etched in my brain. (I guess the Top View here - which he omitted- would simply have been just a square box). But I guess the top view might be superfluous in this example, because it is so simple.
It is entirely unclear to me how or when I learned mechanical drawing, but this is a *great* video and confirms that I've got a solid (!PUN!) understanding.
Because I have no idea how I learned this, this video seems like a great way to teach folks!
I know what you mean, one time I took a ProEngineer class after self teaching for a few months, and I thought "wow I didn't realize how much I know how to do in ProE." Thanks for watching!
Work in the digitalization industry and 3D model and this is a terrific clear basis to understand blueprint projections and relations. Keep the good stuff!
Awesome! Glad you liked it.
Great video. I look at drawings almost daily and this helps a lot.
I'm not even studying engineering but this video was really fun and helpful for my personal projects, thanks!
Great! Glad it helped
A great video, helps to put in perspective of various processess. When using a 3d CAD software, I never knew the problem associated with over-constrainig of dimensions, even though the sofware prompts to correct it. Now, it makes sense when thinking in terms of tolerances that can associate with these dimensions, and the ambiguity that a machinist may face, when reading the drawing. Thank you for a great content!
Thanks for the nice content. Glad you liked the vid!
Great video, I like the way you used one drawing to walk the student through the topic. It makes it much easier to understand and gives it a context.
+Infinity MFG thanks for nice comment! I had to think of a couple different shapes before I found one that had all the topics I wanted to cover
Thank you for such a useful video, please don't stop making this amazing material.
Thanks for letting me know Raymundo!
I Thank you for this, really am. I'm studying my first year of mechanical engineering, so glad I found this. I can say you made such a clear teaching, all the best for you!. Best regards
Thanks for letting me know. Congrats on starting mech E! My unsolicited advice is to start tinkering and making physical things as soon as possible. At some universities its easy to get all the way to senior year without getting your hands dirty. Thanks again!
Top notch video. Clear and informative, lots of good information here. (Source: 20+ year draftsman)
Thanks Roger! I'm glad you liked it, I was worried about messing up any details
Very detailed and helpful. My blueprint reading professor suggested this video and it helped more than the book.
Kevv Victory glad to hear, thanks for letting me know!
amazing video, very professional I wish I had this kind of help when I was in school.
Thank you for taking some of your precious time to help and share your knowledge to make others better.
Nestor Mangandi thanks for the nice comment Nestor. It does take a lot of time to make videos (this one took ~50 hours) so I'm glad to hear people like them!
In our days it was only from our teachers but now you can learn from UA-cam.This also reminds me when I was a teacher in the high school in Ghana 1992
Thank you. I have drawing as a minor subject in a pharmacy course and I had no idea about drawing at all. Thank you. It really helped.
+Rubella Genius awesome great to hear. Help all the drawers!
This is so awesome!! Thanks for making this! I have a design background in fashion and I'm currently an Assistant Technical Designer but I never realized how much my position relates to engineering (but for garments instead). It's really cool seeing how detailed views affect the end product. Watching this video was so helpful and it DEFINITELY helped me to see how my CADs can be improved and how overconstraining can lead to miscommunication.
I'm glad you like it! Thanks for letting me know.
That's super cool that you work in apparel! I just started sewing a year or two ago and I think it's really fun. It should be more popular. It's cheaper, cleaner, and more practical than woodworking.
I agree that making clothes is totally engineering. I think it would be a great way for kids to get their brains firing in a a designey and engineeringey mindset. What kind of garments do you work on?
@@TheNormalUniverse Yes I totally agree! Not only that, but after you've made your first garment/product, you feel incredibly self-sufficient. I was working on activewear (active yoga & workout tights, performance bottoms, sports bras, and tops) and some lifestyle (ready-to-wear/lounge) pieces.
SARAH FLY totally! I’ll really feel that way once I sew something good enough to wear in public. Hey want to be Instagram friends? I’m @LesGuichets. If you’re ever in the SF Bay Area say hi!
You are right.this will help a lot of people. I wish I have this opportunity when I was in school
Great intro to technical drawing, thanks so much!
Thanks. Video helped. Presentation and overall video quality was really good.
Fantastic. Learned something completely new.
Thanks Mike!
Loved this video, the thing a lot of videos out there are missing is "know your lines", was trying to get refreshed on reading blueprints and this one helped me most. Well done, and keep up the good work. loved the quick quiz at the end.
Thanks for the nice comment! I always love putting quizzes at the end of my talks, because it's fun to learn but even more fun to apply the things you just learned.
Love the video, the energy is awesome, I am an 11th grader who just found out the meaning of this, and I have been doing technical drawing for 5 years now
Thanks a lot! Keep doing awesome work. If you want to be an engineer full time I recommend to start building things, anything you find interesting. It's a great way to show that you're exceptional when you apply for internships and have stories to tell during the interview.
Clear, concise, full of extremely useful information.
Thanks Aa Ron! (lol I read that in the voice of Keean Michael-Key)
Great job man! I am now a better mechanical drawing gig, thanks to you!!
I’m glad it helped! Thanks for letting me know
Amazing video it helped me a lot with understanding the process of mechanical engineering drawing.
Glad you liked it! One thing I should have said in the video is don't stress about making every drawing perfect. It only needs to be perfect if you're ordering parts. For communication with your peers feel free to just rough things out.
Thanks for the video. Quite helpful for starters!
And I got both answers right too.
Ive been trying to put something together for myself on my own but I couldnt get accurate plans to use for myself. This is very helpful to start!
Great!
You earned my subscription :).Keep up the good work.
Nilesh Sutar yeehaw! More videos coming in a bit.
Very nice video! You led me to it yourself from a comment on the video about States Machine. The funny story is that I hadn't watched the video if you hadn't mentioned it however, it's the answers to a question I made myself the day before yesterday.
It's curious how things turn out sometimes.
Thank you for the video!
I appreciate your nice comments Alejandro! I've been out of the habit of making videos for a while, but I expect to make more videos coming up about synthesizers. Have a nice day!
Thank you Chris for explaining the 2D you mentioned at 2:00. I should have been able to figure that one out myself!😆 But now I have a sudden taste for Tutti Fruiti ice cream!
I deleted my previous question because it was rather embarrassing.😖
THANK YOU YOUR MODULE IS VERY USEFUL
Glad it helped! Thanks for letting me know
thank you for teaching me :) i felt behind my class this morning but i think i'm good now
MrSuperrajab thanks for letting me know! Are you from Michigan State University? I see traffic from their website once in a while
After 5 years Still Good. Thanks dude
Thanks Logesh!
Thank you sir,I’m a let handed and it’s always a bit hard when drawing because all the drawing instruments are all made for right handed
Thank, thsi was a super useful video, very clear, concise, yet information rich and informative
Thanks for letting me know Hugo!
Thank you for this essential explanation.
wow thanks, there are many things you have talked about that will help in my engineering course
glad you liked it! I can't believe how many people are learning drawing from the video. How did you find it?
This video is great. It teaches slowly how a mechanical drwaing is and it's parts. It is also entertaining. Nice work😁
Made it easy for a newbie like me to understand
Thanks Sean! I always like to know when my videos are helpful
This was very informative and just want to say thank you! Great video!
Dylan Hill thanks for letting me know! Love to see people getting use out of this vid
great vid, i would love to see more
thanks for letting me know!
Mate you explain very well and quite fun 👍
thank you Theo!
Thanks it's got what I need and I know can take a step on my path to the person I can be
I love this man's energy.
13:31
"Now it's time to- TEST YOUR KnOwlEdgeee!"
Haha thanks, I was channeling my inner StructureFree, you should check them out. Really great channel about mechanical engineering physics topics like statics and material properties
Could you label the top and side views in the drawing?
Nice introduction, but it's short.
At 14:28 The threaded part should have a 3/4 circle around the hole in front view and lines for it's boring with the angled tip on the side view.
You also could draw the flat spot viewed from top and draw diagonal lines in there.
10:29
The "HUSSLAAHH" technique got me a promotion & my manager cried because he felt inadequate.
use carefully!
Outstanding tutorial!! Thanks for sharing with us. I learned a lot here.
demofactory thanks for letting me know! Did you find the video on UA-cam search?
Yes, I did a UA-cam search for "learn mechanical drawing". I still have much to learn, so please keep them coming. Take care and have a great day friend!!!
That was exceptional great explanation..
Could you please let me know the software in which you made this presentation?? Or drawings???
thank you so much, Mr. Normal Universe 👍👍
I’m glad I can help!
excellent video. keep up the good work
An outstanding video that my students are benefiting from. Thank you!
Thanks for letting me know Jonathan! What grade of students are you teaching?
@@TheNormalUniverse High school, 9-12 (all levels are allowed). It is a CAD class and I am trying to ground them in the fundamentals so you can imagine how your lesson very effectively does that.
@@jonathankerner2094 awesome! Ya when I took my first CAD class at Berkeley we just did 2D drawings like this for the first few weeks. I think it helps convey the idea that a big reason of making CAD is communicating your ideas to other people. It's also fun to see how things used to be done before 3D CAD existed.
wow, thank you for this, i am learning all by my self.
E Ndongo thanks! How did you find the video?
Normal Universe very informative, I wish you could do more of this type of videos . If you have a link related to this materials please link it below, I will highly appreciate it, thanks.
what kinda program can be used so I wont draw with hand
Good video. Thank you. Why is it necessary to place a dimension to the center of the part when you show centerlines? Also, I was hoping to find a discussion on tangent lines and visible lines. Have you got anything on that?
Thank you for this essential explanation. Please keep doing it.
Thanks Arif! Love the encouragement.
I meant it. People does bad job because mostly they haven't figured out how to do it right. Looks like you did.
Great instructional video!Thank you!!!
Thanks for letting me know Ling!
Is there a way to patent cheaply?
Hey dude i love the way you teach is it possible to help me understanding the hidden lines thing in more detail? And also from two shapes I've to draw one axometric view and the other is top view I'll have exams in few days and i don't understand my prof.
Hi Besto sorry I don't fully understand your question right now. I think it would be best if you chat with your professor or classmates. Try making drawings for a household object together.
Thank you. your explanations is exceptional.
Thanks for the feedback Nur!
Normal Universe pp
Excellent video, simple and the best explained thanks man
+Carlos Reyes thanks! That’s what I was going for.
Does this involve/teach/relate to Axonometry?
Found this video very helpful. Thank you
13:45 You turn right on both when walking away from the hole. Unless it was flipped upside down, maybe?
great video keep up the good work! Is there anywhere I can find more questions like at the end of the video
Thanks for letting me know! Haha I’m glad you liked the quiz questions.
Sorry I don’t know where to find more questions. I recommend to grab an object from around the house and make an engineering drawing of it, like I did with the GoPro in the middle of this vid. That will get the gears turning
What is the best book to get about the standard regulations and procedures and practices and modules
Hi Anfeild, unfortunately I don't know of a good book for for that stuff
can u plzz Show how to draw screw fastening amd joints using dimesions?
Hi Faizan, I'd like to add onto this video in the future, but it won't be for months or years. Check the reference in the video description.
you just saved a chemical engineer's semester. Thank you!!
haha can you share the background to this story?
Lol you explained this better than 80% of my mechanical engineering professors. Thanks for the help!
Glad I could help! Thanks for letting me know
Uno de los mejores videos, muy clara la explicacion muchas gracias
De nada! gracias
Are you doing your drawing and models in Catia, or you use another program for drawings? Thank you :)
This was interesting bc whilst I’ve still got a few years before university I’ve been thinking of what to do and am thinking of graphical design and engineering
cool! Well I wouldn't over focus on mechanical drawing as being the main focus of engineering. This is just a way to communicate. The most important thing is to just start making stuff. Good luck!
@@TheNormalUniverse okay thx for the advice will see what I can make
Please upload more on Engineering Drawings 🙏
Great video man
thanks for letting me know!
Very well done
what program did you use for the drawings?
hey there quick question, at 13:19 you give a guide of the different lines but i cant spot the phantom line that is at 10:48. Am i confusing myself as the phantom line has 2 dots but in the video its showing as 1
Hey Raz, thanks for asking. At 13:19 I accidentally labelled the "Phantom Line" as a "cutting plane line. You are right it has two dots separated by long dashes.
This video is very helpful. Thank you!
Andrija Horvat you're welcome!
Quality content, really clear!
Thanks Toby! I think this video could hit 1 million views in a few years!
Thank you, this helps me a lot
Great video! Learned instantly!
+Alan Moises Dalke thanks! I’m really happy with how this turned out. Consider sharing with your fellow nerds!
Great video I'm studying Fabrication and Welding and prefer to watch video than read books thank you so much, have a like!
Great job man! Life saver. Thanks!
ua-cam.com/video/vFDMaHQ4kW8/v-deo.html .💐
Thank you soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much for this great and informative video. I really needed this!!!!!!
I’m glad it helped Syed!
I study mechanical engineering and I can't sketch at all but your video really helped me, thank you so much
awesome! I'm glad you like it. One thing I wish I mentioned in this video is that this method can help you communicate an idea without being good at sketching because you don't have to draw things in perspective.
im studying mechanical engineering in china in chinese n i dont really understand some of the things my professor says bcz my chinese is not so good yet,sooo this video helped me loads esp the sectioning part,i appreciate...you are just the best
Hahaahahah
ua-cam.com/video/vFDMaHQ4kW8/v-deo.html .💐
You've surely saved my life.
haha no way, did I help with a test? How did you find the video?
Great work
Thank u sir!sir, can u give me the link for tolerance chart for mechanical drawing!
+ranganathan perumal sorry I don’t have a good reference on hand.
Thanks a ton. That was great!
awesome! thanks for letting me know
in last question. , depth of hole was also not dimensioned
Thanks so much! Great teacher
Excellent. .Appreciate knowledge sharing
Thank you! This helped me a lot.
Thanks for letting me know Chloe! Glad you liked it
Very good and Informative video til 2020 👍
Thanks Anovar!
this video is outstanding!
thanks Jonathan! It's my most popular video by a mile. I should have said in the video that you don't always need to make a drawing perfect. Usually times amongst colleagues you can quickly sketch out ideas with these methods
could you recommend a mechanical drawing book to start learning it?
Sorry I haven't looked up this topic in 5 years or so. When I did I never found a good book, I would just buy a few used text books, read a few pages, then re-donate them. So I can't recommend a good book. Thank you for asking though!
Awesome video. Small note, I got the first answer a different way, but still don't understand your explanation for the first question at 14:00. After reviewing your explanation a few times I still don't know what ledge you're referencing.
Thanks! When I said ledge, I was referring to the small step next to the hole. I wanted to clarify which side of the part I was referring to, and only one side has the step.
Just wondering, how did you find the video?
I did not understand the answer of question 1
What do u do if my part has a spline
Good question. That’s more advanced than the scope of this video. This video covers “linear dimensions”. For a spline you need to look up something called “geometric dimensions”
