My daughter took metals class as a freshman, but what I'm really happy she got involved with is FIRST Robotic Competition. In a year she went from some basic hand tool knowledge to being able to design, manufacture, wire, program a robot (oh, and the kids do it all in 6 weeks). If you have kids, check it out.
I want more of those! I would love to hear is toughts on the actual corolla! This channel should have regular car, his takes on them is better than all known car reviewer!
Hi Sandy. You sound a lot like my dad. He had 28 patents working for North American Aviation. From designing the first electronic knitting machine, the XB-70 bomber, the display of the Apollo spacecraft, a wire guided mortar, the first anti- lock braking system for trucks, etc. He taught me how to use a Bridgeport milling machine, how to weld, carpentry, how to wire a house. The more skills one has makes you useful. Anyway, these days I see to many people with zero skills at all. Our education system is failing us. Thanks for showing us the way forward!
My school had woodwork and metal work shops, along with the usual science labs. But even then metalwork was for the less bright boys. REALLY! They had a sand casting foundry, lathes, milling machines, grinders the full nine yards. Though back then no CNC. I was apprenticed by the (then nationalised) electricity generator. I got the best general engineering training that was going. It taught me that what looks right usually is right. Today I see do much stuff that’s too big in the wrong places (excess weight) and too small in other places unreliable. I’ve just been given an adult push scooter it uses 8mm pins everywhere totally inadequate and it’s well bashed up. Mr car has huge cast iron brake callipers. They weigh a ton right where you least want the weight.
I still appreciate my Uncles, Home Economics and Shop teachers that I had. My school had those programs when I was in Junior High and it became a magnet school. I don't work with my hands but I can and I love figuring out how things work, anything that is put together. Sandy is right, let your kids work to make something, from a cake to a robot, the lessons learned are priceless.
I teach welding and machining at a high school in S. E. Saskatchewan to grades 9-12, and would like to thank you Sandy for the perspective you offer on education. The state of the education systems in North America are an atrocity and the shortage of skilled labour will come to a head at some point, I believe we are seeing the start of it in our economies already. The severe lack of funding for technical vocational education will reap exotically what is being sown. I live and work in a town full of high school drop out millionaires.
Steve Jobs was the "given up" kid and received the gift of light whilst touring India. A workaholic with a short life. Should Elon die, his vision would go with him. Sometimes I wonder if he is putting himself into too much danger? JFK got eliminated in Texas and to much of my surprise being a grand-kid of a judge I would have presumed that shooting a president would be a federal offence!
@@LawpickingLocksmith Elonscompanies have evolved to the point where I think they would continue. I am surprised that Exxon’s management team hasn’t had him assassinated and then have the news report that Lee Harvey Oswald brother shot him. But it’s too late for that now.
I LOVE Sandy. He is a blessing to everyone rather they are technically inclined or not. He is a STRAIGHT SHOOTER. No BS. He also understands what progress is and what it looks like. Great sense of humor. Is "down with the young folks". I do not care what anyone says..... he may be physically one age ....but he's still 24 at heart. We are all lucky to have him.
I also completed a Toolmaker apprenticeship. It was the best training a person could ever get. Even after my Bachelors degree and working on my MBA, my toolmaker training always was my heart.. Even when I was General Manager of a medium sized manufacturing company, my old Toolmaker training kept me grounded with the employees who worked with me. And now that I'm retired, guess what, I'm still making stuff . I loved seeing that an old toolmaker is still needed.
“Not invented here” is the death knell of any industry. A successful company, country or culture will incorporate the best wherever it cannot be found.
"I find it best to get out of the school before the professor becomes conscious again.", what happened? Professor: No Sandy, we need to use more threaded fasteners to join these parts together. Sandy: that's not reliable, it adds weight, cost, and is prone to operator error. Professor: The added weight will feel like quality on the customer's hand.........[got knock unconcious]
I know youtube is a distraction from what a typical day would look like, but I (we) love everything you've shared. Munro Live is eye-opening content, and getting to hear opinions and reactions from everyone there that takes part. Thanks again, Sandy & crew!
Sit up and take notice of this man - he's been there, done it, worn the overalls and has a master's degree from the University of life and common sense.
Our school in the UK let us weld and use lathes and millers at 14! We were building mini bikes, made the front page of the local paper on TV and radio. My hobby was electronics, my passion mechanics. Im on tape at 14 saying "I want to be a design engineer in the car industry and run a factory". I did just that always knew EVs were the best. Now retiring after 40 years in big auto engieering and designing all over the world, Saw Tesla coming bought the car bought the shares happy days retirement fund and a Roadster. Work hard have a dream.
Sandy You have added huge value to the world and continue to do so. There videos are brillant engineering that anyone can learn from. The country needs to be held to a higher standard and you are part of the solution
Thanks for a peek into your past. You have lived and continue to live an exciting, stimulating and 'useful' life -- the world is a better place because of the Sandy Munro's amongst us!! God bless and God speed!!!
In the last century I was a physics and industrial arts teacher, our district had the elitist attitude that all students should go to college and therefore closed down the "dirty shops". A very nearsighted attitude. Thanks for your comments. 👍👍👍
13:56 thanks Sandy for getting to my question and your answer which I thought was totally sensible whilst profound. I hope you get to watch Warren Redlich’s latest video where he shares his thoughts on the Arcimoto FUV that he got to try out. The most interesting bits was the price that he thought was too high for the passenger carrying capacity, the controls that relied on ‘chiclets’ like buttons and the manoeuvrability which he found more difficult than expected. As a potential buyer, Warren was somewhat disappointed with his experience.
Sounds like electrical engineering is the way to go. Putting a professor's lights out will require more than a schematic drawing. Enjoyed the candor and the reminiscing you presented. Now, Back to Work Sandy !!
1) This is great! Please do it on a regular basis. 2) Please leave the question up for the duration of the reply. 3) Film Sandy from the front. When you film him from the side, looking up into space, it reminds me of a guy who just reads teleprompters, and Sandy is certainly NOT that guy!
Thanks for sharing your answers and specifically the early years with us Sandy! You certainly got my applause 👏 🙌 👌. I am a big fan and "almost" neighbor from London Ontario. I wish you all the best and hope for many more opinions, analysis and success stories from you and your guys from Monroe and Associates!!!
Found u via Tesla years ago obviously. Watched your peak pull downs with intensity on the big screen. Some others are background fillers on a 3rd screen while I work. This vid though, is something I can and have forwarded to friends n family with kids. Im young and in tech and live far away from North America but it’s clear theres too much human “effort” put into bullsh.t areas. Engineering and manufacturing is king. We started with sharp sticks and rock tools and continuing to advance is the prime mandate for conscious life. Thank you for having the grit to be so honest with your views, life story etc. you’re a treasure.
Uncle Sandy, thank you for sharing your story... genuinely. Your no nonsense approach is my level set. My father used to say put your brain in gear before you put your mouth in motion. I can relate to your college/university experience, "Smart people" love to be heard, rarely do they share any real value.
So interesting to hear how Sandy got started in his career. I studied math and science in high school and went on to get an electrical engineering degree, but the most engaging and valuable classes I took in high school were mechanical drawing, wood shop, and auto shop. The best part of university was four semesters of wood working in an amazing shop run by the school of industrial design. Not only is hands-on work fascinating and rewarding, it teaches you lessons that you take with you no matter what kind of work you end up doing for a living. Lessons like the importance of planning, choosing and using the right tools, patience (“measure twice, but cut once” is not only a bromide, for me it’s a hard learned lesson), and the reward/payoff of having something to show the world when you apply yourself diligently until the project is complete. We would all benefit if this country focused on creating an education path that included and valued trade schools. In fact, two of the most successful people I know started working in a trade (one a welder, the other an electrician). Before long, they owned their own businesses and employed welders and electricians. Ultimately, they sold their successful businesses and retired comfortably while they were still young enough to enjoy life.
Sandy, thanks for this presentation. I am older than you. Too many are urged to go to college without a plan. I try to encourage the youth to consider trades, something useful that cannot be exported to other countries. You are the perfect example. Too many students go to "fun" colleges, which is to say wasting their time. I have a 4 year degree than I completed later in life, mainly because it was something left incomplete. It cost me more and was several times harder than if I have done it after high school. I appreciated it far more, perhaps because I had real life experiences to know that it was useful.
Sandy, you are a true inspiration, a great talent, and a genius to boot. Wow - what a past track record; yet you’re all about a progressive future . . . cheers to that!
At 21:20: "There was a little altercation between me and a professor". Absolutely fantastic info, especially about China and advice to the youth. Please put time stamps on your vids. Thanks from Woodinville WA.
….P.S. I buy all my grandkids tool sets… metal and wood working early on… and science ”build” kits like radios, steam engines and things like that. Ive found that most kids love those and they develop problem-solving thinking as a result and not afraid to get their hands dirty.
Listening to Sandy is like opening a box of chocolate; you never know what you are gonna get. "I had to leave the school before he became conscious again"
I just picked up a Tesla M3 LR two weeks ago. The paint, panel gaps, alignment, fit and finish were 100% on this made in China model. I met a Polestar driver at a Rapid Charger in the very same week and his Polestar was of similar quality. Times they are a changing….
@@pablopicaro7649 My country sold almost $12 Billion dollars worth of goods to China in 2020, including infant formula, powdered milk, pork, pharmaceuticals and quite surprisingly electronics!? The quality of China’s vehicle exports cannot be in any doubt. Foxcon make the Iphones vert well too!
The idea of “Don’t save me money I can’t afford it “ is interesting. I was once involved in bidding for a NATO contract - where failure is not an option - and all bidders had to deliver two closed envelopes; one containing the technical solution and one containing the financials. The rule was that if a bid failed the technical examination then the money bid was not even opened. In fact it was returned unopened
The education system in the US needs to be reformed. Look at Switzerland, you can start an apprenticeship at 15 instead of going to high school (only ~20% actually go to high school because there are alternatives). After 3 to 4 years you will be able to start working. Lots of kids at the age don't want to sit in class but want to actually do something. And later on they can continue their studies if they want to, and even end up in a Federal Polytechnic school if they're good enough.
Trade apprenticeships can start at 16y.o in Australia. There’s also options to start a trade in Yr 10 and continue doing whilst in Yr 11 and 12 so kids can get High School Certification and then their trade certificate. 😊
I graduated from W.D Lowe as well. One of the last generations before the school was sadly shut down. I knew right away Sandy was talking about good old Lowe before he mentioned it!
🤗 LIKE MIKE DEVER SAID …”THE BEST PART OF THE VIDEO IS SANDY’s LIFE JOURNEY ! “ 🤗 and we get to join the journey from here 🤗🤗🤗 And we keep tipping the cashiers 👍😍😍😍
This is a nice format! Would be good to hear the questions though - had to switch browser tabs & rewind to see them while listening in the background (at 1.5x speed, so the questions also vanished quickly)
That was interesting Sandy. Just finding out a little about Monro and Associates. I’d really like to know more about the history of Monro and Associates, what all you been involved in, that you can talk about.
Clock makers of old had complications. Common complications include date or day-of-the-week indicators, alarms, chronographs (stopwatches), and automatic winding mechanisms. Complications may be found in any mechanical clock, but they are most notable in mechanical watches where the small size makes them difficult to design and assemble.
The man is a beast. Punched out his professor! I had a bunch of professors who weren't worth their tenure and would have loved a chance to kick their asses. I went back to university in my 30s and no kid. These professors were condescending, didn't care about the student body's needs, and taught like crap as if we were a waste of their time. That's how a lot of professors who are moldy from the years in the institution, treat the undergraduates. When they showed me no respect, I was prepared to remind them I was paying for an education, and will chew them a new asshole. More power to ya, Sandy!
Sandy, six months into my career/ job as a Potato Industry Equipment Designer with Port Machinery in '88, l asked Mr Jennings if l could leave the Design Office and move permanently to design directly on the 'Shop Floor' with the 'Boys' where l was encouraged, learning to work the lathe, cutter, bender, etc ( except welding coz l was born blind in one eye ) Very satisfying.....[ 'APPLAUSE' ___STOP ]
When USA went for the Manhattan Project and later the Moonshot, it was Engineering Oriented, and as Churchill said in another way, "When they have tried all of the wrong ways, they will do it right", which is not efficient but it is effective. Great Advocacy for learning by doing Education, thank you. Applause.
This is awesome! Sandy you should make a video/or sell a course and go over a product (You've worked on and that you can discuss) you think about your thought process when starting a product manufacturing project.
As a retired engineer, I would say that my first influence to work on things and discover what makes things work. Was an Erector Set given to me by my older brother, who was an engineer and 18 years older that me. Your comment on Legos is good but I found that Erector made a better choice.
My daughter took metals class as a freshman, but what I'm really happy she got involved with is FIRST Robotic Competition. In a year she went from some basic hand tool knowledge to being able to design, manufacture, wire, program a robot (oh, and the kids do it all in 6 weeks). If you have kids, check it out.
I was delighted when my daughter decided to take a welding class.
I love Sandy's advice about encouraging them to make things.
We should make sure girls have a chance to see if they have aptitude, gender stereotyping can be subtle but powerful
Sandy is the shit! Such a wise person, when he talks, you listen.
I want more of those! I would love to hear is toughts on the actual corolla! This channel should have regular car, his takes on them is better than all known car reviewer!
You know it's not rehearsed when Sandy speaks. He doesn't have time for that.

Throwing hands with his professor. I guess i shouldn't be surprised of his violent streak...

And later on they can continue their studies if they want to, and even end up in a Federal Polytechnic school if they're good enough.
Sandy, always enjoy your videos. Thanks for your insight and honesty.
Thanks for watching!
Fasinating Sandy, thanks so much.
Trade apprenticeships can start at 16y.o in Australia. There’s also options to start a trade in Yr 10 and continue doing whilst in Yr 11 and 12 so kids can get High School Certification and then their trade certificate. 😊
"Why did you leave school"?
"Because I didn't want to be around when the professor regained consciousness."
LOL
Love it when Sandy talks
I graduated from W.D Lowe as well. One of the last generations before the school was sadly shut down. I knew right away Sandy was talking about good old Lowe before he mentioned it!
"left before the professor got conscious again." That was unexpected
🤗 LIKE MIKE DEVER SAID …”THE BEST PART OF THE VIDEO IS SANDY’s LIFE JOURNEY ! “ 🤗 and we get to join the journey from here 🤗🤗🤗
And we keep tipping the cashiers 👍😍😍😍
Always fascinating! Thanks for your videos!
Glad you like them!
This is a nice format! Would be good to hear the questions though - had to switch browser tabs & rewind to see them while listening in the background (at 1.5x speed, so the questions also vanished quickly)
Next time.
Excellent presentation and beautiful lighting.
Suggestion: Keep the questions longer on the screen.
That was interesting Sandy. Just finding out a little about Monro and Associates. I’d really like to know more about the history of Monro and Associates, what all you been involved in, that you can talk about.

Clock makers of old had complications. Common complications include date or day-of-the-week indicators, alarms, chronographs (stopwatches), and automatic winding mechanisms. Complications may be found in any mechanical clock, but they are most notable in mechanical watches where the small size makes them difficult to design and assemble.
The man is a beast. Punched out his professor! I had a bunch of professors who weren't worth their tenure and would have loved a chance to kick their asses. I went back to university in my 30s and no kid. These professors were condescending, didn't care about the student body's needs, and taught like crap as if we were a waste of their time. That's how a lot of professors who are moldy from the years in the institution, treat the undergraduates. When they showed me no respect, I was prepared to remind them I was paying for an education, and will chew them a new asshole. More power to ya, Sandy!
Sandy, My highest compliment: You are a VERY interesting man !!! I enjoyed this article immensely ! Thanks!
Always enjoy listening to Sandy when he speaks. #long tesla, NIO, XPEV
Sandy, six months into my career/ job as a Potato Industry Equipment Designer with Port Machinery in '88, l asked Mr Jennings if l could leave the Design Office and move permanently to design directly on the 'Shop Floor' with the 'Boys' where l was encouraged, learning to work the lathe, cutter, bender, etc ( except welding coz l was born blind in one eye )
Very satisfying.....[ 'APPLAUSE' ___STOP ]
When USA went for the Manhattan Project and later the Moonshot, it was Engineering Oriented, and as Churchill said in another way, "When they have tried all of the wrong ways, they will do it right", which is not efficient but it is effective.
Great Advocacy for learning by doing Education, thank you. Applause.
Provided they have an unlimited supply of Taxpayer money..
This is awesome! Sandy you should make a video/or sell a course and go over a product (You've worked on and that you can discuss) you think about your thought process when starting a product manufacturing project.
Praise the lord for they answer! ua-cam.com/video/ROOiCUfj9pw/v-deo.html
As a retired engineer, I would say that my first influence to work on things and discover what makes things work. Was an Erector Set given to me by my older brother, who was an engineer and 18 years older that me. Your comment on Legos is good but I found that Erector made a better choice.
Lego sets are _far_ more complex today. Especially the Technics sets, but even some of the ordinary sets.
