The bowl method is absolutely the best I have seen to describe 3rd and 1st angle projections, and, I saw it here first. Thanks for an illustrative and easy to understand "I'll remember it forever now" demonstration. I was just about to dose off ( I am viewing at the end of a blueprint reading day) when I heard my name called out, which brought me to attention. A good teacher can even call to consciousness even the most sleepy student! hehe It is seldom that the symbols for which projection is displayed is actually put on the drawings I see although one usually can figure it out from the drawings. It is however, nice to see a drawing made by a draftsman, complete and professional. A super video and I look forward to the next in the series. As always, thankful and appreciative, jim (still) in Greenland.
Hi Jim, I have received many comments on the bowl method for explaining projections and I must admit that I don't remember if I learnt it from someone or if I made it up? If I did make it up, I just might be a little smarter than I thought? If anyone out there (other than my former students) has ever herd of the bowl method, please let me know, it could help to reduce the swelling of my ego! Thanks for watching Jim and until we write again, Marc L'Ecuyer
I'm starting a career that requires knowledge of blueprint reading. It's been a while since I have needed these skills and was an amazing refresher to the lines and views! The illustration for the first and third angle projections was simple, effective and easy to remember. I look forward to seeing your other instructional videos! Thank you for taking the time to do this for us in need!
I have a new employee at work that needs training and I just came across your video today. You are awesome and you do a great job explaining. These are the perfect videos to teach a beginner. I appreciate you. =)
I never understood difference between 1st and 3rd angle projection so clearly as now, this is by far the best method that i have come across. Thank you Sir for sharing your knowledge!
Marc, I enjoyed all four info videos on Blue Print Reading. Engineering drawings is what there being called today. So I hear! I was hoping to see more. This time explaining how to find missing dimensions, and the process of the mathematical formulas to discover there value. For example, on center, and off center holes equally spaced holes, bolt circles Find a length by using a radius. Find a length using trigonometry. Also touching base on sides that represent each other. More shops are going with planning instead of floor prints. We are suffering out here from the dumbing down we are being dealt. Thanks Marc, I love what you’re doing. Thanks for your help.
Excellent explanation Marc. I learnt this over 40 years ago, and you're bowl method is a good way of explaining it, we here taught the box method. In the early seventies we were taught both 1st and 3rd angle, Here in the UK we are 3rd angle and I believe we have been this way since the late 1950's
I work at Snap on and I’m about to take a test in the morning for a CNC Set up position. These videos have been a HUGE help and I’d just like to say thank you.
First year machinist student here, really appreciate the video. Helped me on my homework about how lines from one view have a matching line on another. So for example "Line 34 in the side view is what line in the top view?" I was pretty lost until you went over what the lines look like and what they represent. Thanks, I'll be watching your other videos too!
I thank you for all your videos. I am almost at the age of retirement and want to start building a home machine shop. As an aircraft mechanic, I've always admired those who worked in the machine shops and have always wanted to have my own as a hobby. By the way, the "First Angle" view makes more sense to me on a drawing. It represents, to me, like I just pushed the part from its top edge and it fell to that position. If I push the top over to the left, it falls the way the drawing represents it. I don't know, it seems easier for my simple mind. Once again, thank you for being a great instructor and teaching with the passion you do!!
This video has been great for me, I understood somethings that I was seeing but I did not know the meaning. Thank You. Merry Christmas and God bless those that give us their knowledge for free.
Marc, this was exactly what I needed to see. I just made a print today and as I drew my lines, I asked myself if they were correct and I questioned if I using the "correct" lines. I'm eagerly awaiting the other parts. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this crucial knowledge and in a way that's so easiest understood/digested. You're a great Teacher.
Good drizzly noon to you, sir marc, from far away asian spot here, philippines! am thanking you likewise, for being very clear in and with your free tutorials. GOD Bless you more!
Good Teacher. Not only you know the subject but your teaching method and warm emotional appeal is tops. Doing it for free is great but the value offered even if it was at cost would be attractive. Hopefully youtube will payback a little with the number of hits you get. Yes not everything needs to be done for money but the shear fun of it...ain't it why we is machinists in training anywayz? Well done. I vote best of youtube for this series!!!
Marc, I had Mechanical Drafting in high school, but never was taught (as far as I can remember) projections. Your instruction was very easy to understand. I'm looking forward to watching the rest of the series. Thanks for sharing. Square of the hair and the angle of the dangle.
Thanks for the vid Marc, I was a daughtsman in a previous life and it was all manual, before cadam.. I watched the vid all the way through just to refresh. You're a great teacher. Can't wait for the rest.
awesome video!! I love learning from from people like yourself!! i have no questions because everything was so well explained!! It feels like more of the world just opened up to me, thank you!
Thanks for all These great Videos you provide, its realy nice how you Cover all the basics that one should know but has forgotten or never realy cared mutch for (and often is Kind of to proud to ask for once you are a little into machining) and refresh thin knowledge as well as lead to more advanced things that are genuinely New... I salute you and once again: Thanks....
receive all my respects dear teacher, I do appreciate this helpful course. Ihave new job as a machinist operator level 1 but it requires lot of bleuprints reading. this course was very helpful.
Marc L'Ecuyer. Salut! C'est plutôt moi qui vous remerci Monsieur Marc. Vos cours sont d'une importance capitale. Je suis Africain et nouveau aux USA. Je suis arrivé ici avec un BS en Mechanical Engineering et un MS en Petroleum Engineering mais sans aucune experience, Donc difficile de trouver le boulot mais avec vos cours et explications, j'ai pu me défendre lors de mon interview puis décrocher mon job.
Thank you for the amazing videos I just went to school for machine tool technology and I'm still having a hard time with everything I honestly think it's because my teacher would never have time to work with us so we was always stuck reading the books and not really getting hands on experience or a show how to do things but you just gave me hope that I can become a great machinists 👍🏻
yes, that confused me so bad... I was taking notes and drawing the lines as he described them and thier functions.... i think ill stick to the books. and not Canadians.
@@flammenwerfer9645 Why? Are you learning blueprints for the first time? As for me, I have studied it but never been an engineer. Now I want to translate them into Russian. Therefore, I relearn it and noticed that something is wrong. By the way, the new thing for me was a phantom line. I think I've seen it after graduating but never focused as much and for sure we did not study them in our Russia.
@@nikolaisergeichuk6415 in Russia, you use the metric system, correct? I am an industrial maintenace mechanic in the united states. We use both american standard measurment as well as metric; metric mainly to work on 'forign machines'. What confused me was the terms the instructor uses are different than the terms used in the States.
@@flammenwerfer9645 Now I see. Just imagine my struggles then. I can't find any resources for learning blueprint translation. The main problem is abbreviations. It seems to me that foreign standards allow far more freedom for drawing layout and appearance. I am confused so much that I don't know what to start with and watch such videos. Anyways, I still think I can be more competitive in that field as I have a degree in engineering.
Thank you for this video sir. I'm trying to learn as much as I can about blueprints and this is definitely a good start. I am in the the process of applying for a apprenticeship at GM and have been searching for something to teach me on how to read blueprints and ect.
Blueprints for vehicle frames are self explanatory really. I didn't know the name of the lines, but all the welds are done in these type of lines as well. Same meaning. I'm looking into going to a millwright job here soon and I need to know all of this as well.
DANG IT MARC!!!!!!! I noticed you keep changing the little sign in the background and I keep lookin at it. LOL! These video series are great! Its a shame you arent teaching in a classroom anymore, but Im glad you are still teaching. I have learned a good bit from you, Thank you!
Marc Enjoyed and could have used this video about a year ago, I was presented a drawing(s) to build some parts and I surely scratch my ass while I tried to understand what was being shown! My fix was quick disposal rough wood mock ups of what I read and presented to the drafter for clarification if necessary Bowl discussion was great!...tks Chuck
He explains everything so well I learned more then what I learned in class I'm currently taking blue print reading class as off now & I'm learning more in these videos compared to school well there's 500 wasted haha thanks man!!!!
Hey Marc,didn't know you were a rap star.This takes me back high school drawing class.Time to bust out the ole T-square.Thankyou for the teaching videos and you have a Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas and stay safe and warm. Dave Aarons
Could you please activate the captions ? I'm Mexican and I learning English so that would be very helpful for me,thanks Mark I admire you and I would love someday become as wise as you ! Peace out.
This was very informative, I’m so use to working with 3rd angle drawings that I’ve never even heard of 1st angle. I recently started working for a new company and all their drawings are from Russia 1st angle and I was so confused until now.
Thank you for this, it helps me a lot, i have so many topics i would like to ask you for, but just as a start: costing, what type of machines for what piece, fixtures and how to choose it and the cost for it, treatments and and and...sorry so may questions popping up and im glad I found your chanel !!!!!
thank you for the playlist i was too lazy to go back and re reading my blueprint reading book. I guess im also one of those lazy machinist haha. on the brightside i always try to look for the easiest way to get the job done!
Your "Bowl Technique" is brilliant. It made clear several concepts for me. As a beginner to blueprint reading and sketching, I wonder if you would suggest textbooks that are exceptional in their explanations & descriptions of important concepts as well as provide insightful questions along with answers so students can determine if they are comprehending points made in the text? Forever Grateful Pat K
The analogy using the wall for first (1st) angle projection was confusing. But once you demonstrate using the bowl it was more clear visually. I think of 1st angle projection as if you were physical holding the part and you have to rotate the part to see each side/face. For example, think of the simple shape like the rectangular brick or the Rubik’s cube. Hold it so one side is facing you. Denote that face as the front view. Now rotate it up to see the bottom side of the brick/cube. That view would now be draw above the front view even though it’s the bottom face of the part. Now, return to the front face again. This time rotate the brick/cube down to see the top side/face. This top view is drawn below the front view. Return to the front face/side again. Now rotate the cube the your left to look at the right side/face. This right side is now drawn to the left of the front view. For third (3rd) angle projection. Imagine the same simple shape of a brick/cube. But this time the brick is fixed in position. You cannot rotate, pivot, or turn it. To look at each side/face you need to shift your POV. Imagine it as a box shape with flaps/lips. Each flaps is hinge to the primary view (front). To see top side lift the top flap. That view is drawn above the front view. To see the right side you pull right flap towards you. That is drawn on the right side. In summary, 1st angle projection is view from one POV. The first person. You rotate the part to see each side. The POV is fixed. 3rd angle projection is view from multiple POV. most commonly 2-3. The part is fix but the POV changes. (Hope my summary is more clear than my detailed explanation.)
Thanks for all the vids Marc. Really good stuff. On this one a small glitch, on the first pass through the line types (@11:24) you call a centre line a hidden line. You call it correctly on the second run through. Sorry to be picky.
Thanks Chris for catching the mistake, I have corrected the video with a note, thanks for watching, and for paying attention. I get so caught up in the making of the video that I miss details like that. Marc L'Ecuyer
Basically pushed up against a solid piece of paper while looking at it first person view. Almost like a stamp. A stamp of the opposite end that hit the wall. Personally I would say from my understanding look at an object and a straight line vertically and passing the object from left to right. And right when the object was passes through the line if you looked at it from the left side of the line it would be the left side of the object.
I have a question regarding finding and determining dimensions when reading a blueprint. I don't aking my instructor because I am a slow learner and don't want the instructor to spend 10 minutes and take up the students' time, so when I get home I review my lessons because I want to pass my welding & fab course with fling colors, but I do struggle with determining dimensions when not enough information is give, please help!
Howdy Basement! Time can be measured with clocks, but more importantly time can be measured as expectations. For the big X-Mass family supper, my wife expects the 30 year old oak kitchen cupboards to be totally refinished and looking like new. I had been able to put it off for a few years due to illness but those damn doctors fixed me so well that I now have no excuse. I hope to finish the job this week. I will then spend two days cleaning the saw dust incrusted shop (too cold to sand outside) and then I will start the part two video. I hope to have it before X-Mass. Thanks for watching and keep making those great videos. Marc L'Ecuyer
THATLAZYMACHINIST Haha, I understand. I will say this, I enjoy (so much) your videos. With everything going on today in the news and social media we get infiltrated with nothing but depression. It's so nice to see to videos that are pleasant, informative, very well-explained and touched with some humor. I'm nearly finished watching your entire catalog and look forward to more! Regards, -Brad
Hi Jester, I am not a big comic book (I was raised on Asterix and Tintin) fan so I will admit that I was sure that your comment was funny but I didn't know why! I looked Phantom and Mandrake up on Google and in less time than the search took I had my answer. Good one! Thanks for writing and making me think. It's pleasant to learn new stuff. Marc
Hey Marc, great vid. Looking forward to the next in this series. Have you considered doing a series on computer-based drawing like AutoCad and/or Solidworks? These would be the natural progression after the mechanical drawing. Thanks again

1st angle projection is view from one POV. The first person. You rotate the part to see each side. The POV is fixed.
3rd angle projection is view from multiple POV. most commonly 2-3.
The part is fix but the POV changes.
(Hope my summary is more clear than my detailed explanation.)
Thanks for all the vids Marc. Really good stuff. On this one a small glitch, on the first pass through the line types (@11:24) you call a centre line a hidden line. You call it correctly on the second run through. Sorry to be picky.
Thanks Chris for catching the mistake, I have corrected the video with a note, thanks for watching, and for paying attention. I get so caught up in the making of the video that I miss details like that. Marc L'Ecuyer
it's very clear , thank for your video.
what did he mean when he said "gished" up into the wall? 26:20 ?
Basically pushed up against a solid piece of paper while looking at it first person view. Almost like a stamp. A stamp of the opposite end that hit the wall. Personally I would say from my understanding look at an object and a straight line vertically and passing the object from left to right. And right when the object was passes through the line if you looked at it from the left side of the line it would be the left side of the object.
fantastic video.
Thxxx a lot iv some problem with few boeing blue prints , not able to read it in depth ...
good job trying to Learn this.
Hi Marc, I work debarring parts and every parts has a blueprint. I want to know , which book is good for learning basic blueprint reading? Thank you.
Dear Marc, thank you very much
Lesson: 16
Thank so much I had a couple thing that I didn't remember
I have a question regarding finding and determining dimensions when reading a blueprint. I don't aking my instructor because I am a slow learner and don't want the instructor to spend 10 minutes and take up the students' time, so when I get home I review my lessons because I want to pass my welding & fab course with fling colors, but I do struggle with determining dimensions when not enough information is give, please help!
Thank you Sir! Very much useful video!
+dasshai93 Thanks for watching! Marc
Hi Marc,
Now I don't look at my cereals or soup bowl the same way as before....!!!
Cheers,
Pierre
Marc - when is part 2 coming?
Howdy Basement! Time can be measured with clocks, but more importantly time can be measured as expectations. For the big X-Mass family supper, my wife expects the 30 year old oak kitchen cupboards to be totally refinished and looking like new. I had been able to put it off for a few years due to illness but those damn doctors fixed me so well that I now have no excuse. I hope to finish the job this week. I will then spend two days cleaning the saw dust incrusted shop (too cold to sand outside) and then I will start the part two video. I hope to have it before X-Mass. Thanks for watching and keep making those great videos. Marc L'Ecuyer
THATLAZYMACHINIST Haha, I understand. I will say this, I enjoy (so much) your videos. With everything going on today in the news and social media we get infiltrated with nothing but depression. It's so nice to see to videos that are pleasant, informative, very well-explained and touched with some humor. I'm nearly finished watching your entire catalog and look forward to more!
Regards,

Thanks Marc, very helpful
Thank you Petrus for watching, I hope to get the part two online before x-mass. Marc
Phantom line ? What if I want to use a Mandrake line?
Hi Jester, I am not a big comic book (I was raised on Asterix and Tintin) fan so I will admit that I was sure that your comment was funny but I didn't know why! I looked Phantom and Mandrake up on Google and in less time than the search took I had my answer. Good one! Thanks for writing and making me think. It's pleasant to learn new stuff. Marc
Hey Marc, great vid. Looking forward to the next in this series.
Have you considered doing a series on computer-based drawing like AutoCad and/or Solidworks? These would be the natural progression after the mechanical drawing. Thanks again
Thanks for your videos
