    Man I don’t care what you’re working on.....I’m always glad to see you putting out some videos, or even knowing you’re working on projects off camera. Don’t let the stress and dread of making content effect your creativity and work. If you want to do a project and not make a video about it… Then by God your happiness is more important than putting out content! I can’t imagine having to drag out camera equipment every time I wanted to work on a project. That would seriously keep me out of my workshop, and I don’t want to see that happen to any creator.
    I enjoy your thought process and how you problem solve, While bringing in new ideas to all of your projects and going above and beyond in your engineering and design. You’re constantly pushing the envelope and doing something new and different with timeless old designs. The belt sander is a wonderful example, the handmade machined pen is another great example, ....but my favorite is the wooden pocket sheath for your ruler. That was an incredible project to see so many design iterations and a ridiculous amount of thought in each and every detail. From the clean out of dust in the ruler pocket, to the bending of the metal clip, and the curve put into the body to friction hold the ruler. Just incredible! I’ve watched that video over a dozen times. That’s a great example of how to bring new thought to an old idea, which is what I’m constantly trying to do in my shop and in my business.
    I left a comment for you several weeks ago regarding stress and Depression and a few other things you had mentioned previously… And it seems like things are headed in a better direction for you mentally and I hope you continue The hard task of learning how to enjoy the process of problem-solving.
    Whether or not you decide to share that with us isn’t a big deal… What’s important is that you figure out a way to enjoy what you’re doing…and hopefully that makes life on this shit-hole earth a bit less miserable and you can find a few random hours of peace and quiet in your mind.
    Rock on brother!

    I appreciate every single part of that! I'm in manufacturing and have developed some pretty good stuff I think, its been out of necessity. I've forgotten what its like to do fun stuff. You just made that project fun, you took all the pain in the ass out of it for people like me who are not engineers. Your very innovative, you have a lot more to bring to the table I think, with years in front of you

    Jer!!! Dude, this is AMAZING!!!! The detail, the construction, the versatility and the plans cleanness look. Just fantastic across the board. You have given people the ability to build probably what would be one of the most solid and best tool anyone would have in their home Shop, and heck, lot of machine shops, for that matter!!!! I have always loved your designs and videos and you have done an INCREDIBLE job here! WELL DONE!!! 🙂

    I watched your original build a few years ago but never tried to do it but now thanks for the metric plans I bought them and have almost finished the grinder.
    Great design, easy to read and understand instructions and awesome video to see how you did it. Thanks heaps you rock 🤘🏼

    Regarding those overlapping holes @13:18, you can drill them safely without problems if you drill every other hole first, then in-between them. This way the drill sees a symmetrical cut and doesn't wander :)

    • @MadixLP
      @MadixLP 3 роки тому +5

      @justan idiot yes, one could just calculate everything from imperial to metric, but as Jeremy said in the video, as there is no easy 1 to 1 conversion regarding raw material, some alignment has to change. Also it's a big source for error, e.g. You're off by 2,5mm for your 3 1/2 inch conversion :)

      @justan idiot what's so great about this belt sander is that is built with as much precision as the process allows and not thinking "nah it'll be fine" even before you start

    • @panagiotisg83
      @panagiotisg83 3 роки тому

      @justan idiot I built the v1 and let me tell you, it wasn't as simple as just converting everything to metric. I had to work around larger or smaller stock and when you have lots of parts the differences add up.

    • @marko247
      @marko247 3 роки тому

      @justan idiot If you paid any attention to the video you would have heard Jeremy explain why there are metric and imperial plans available... (Hint, it isn't just a case of converting raw numbers) 👍

    Most entertaining! I really enjoyed your clear, economical and relaxed presentation style - it makes your product all the more accessible to those who might otherwise be reluctant to take on this build. Of course, this video is also a very clever marketing tool - it certainly makes me want to buy your plans. I also appreciate how elegant and precise the design is and the 'stick-on' plans - so much to like. Thank you.

    I built a grinder that was inspired by your first video. The only thing it really shared in the end, was that it was very heavy and grey. I must get your metric plans, because your design is pure genius! You are an amazingly talented engineer.

    I've just spent the last couple of months building this grinder, ( i have taken my time, a little here and there) The plans/instructions are really good and if i was unsure of anything i would simply watch this video for clarification. I have had some trouble keeping things square, even with meticulous setting up my welding would often cause some distortion, I think due to the fact im using Arc rather than a MIG welder. These were only minor but i really liked that these distortions were easily rectified with shims and the grinder is now tracking really well.
    Jeremy is really responsive to e mails, i had a query about using slightly different gauge metal and he responded within hours with some useful info. I would definitely recommend having a go at this build i ummed and arred for a while but have really enjoyed the whole process.
