One of the things I most appreciate about you and the channel is your genuine desire to share and teach. Your videos are clear, concise and well paced. I appreciate you not trying to impress us with video skills; it's about the content. Humble, forthright, and down to earth, you're a breathe of fresh air. Keep up the good work; and if it becomes too much like work, dial it back. Appreciate all you do.

Thanks Wayne... I must admit I do enjoy the occasional special effect (see the clock making video). I hope people will find a mix of good teaching, inspiration, and occasional funny moments that make the experience more memorable. Thank you again for the kind words.

I thought you were an engineer just because of the way you seem so familiar, and at ease, when you describe various components. Very cool that you are self taught.

After thirty years in the industry, I can tell you there are two types of engineer... those who went into it for the paycheck - they tend to be competent but nothing more, and then there are those who went into engineering because they have an innate talent and passion for it. Those are far less common, but worth their weight in gold.

I think an argument can be made that he IS an engineer. Just because he doesn't have a piece of paper saying he is, doesn't mean he's not. But I totally get what you're saying - the world revolves around pieces of paper, oftentimes to the detriment of society.

I like where your heart is. I appreciate you.

As being a retired residential electrician for almost 40 years i have learned alot watching your videos. He was right, you have a gift. Thanks so much for everything in understanding the internal workings of motors, capacitors, and so on. Hope you are not still waiting on the county about your shed.

Begging is asking for something for nothing. Producing videos is work (I've made a few). Putting your work out there and saying, "Hey, support this if you would like to do so," is providing folks with the OPPORTUNITY to reimburse you for the value you have given. It's a relationship something like public television or public radio. Go for it.

I think the reason he might see it as begging is because he genuinely enjoys teaching, translating, & sharing his knowledge. Some people don’t consider things work if it’s enjoyed and would be done for free

I am a Teacher. Your videos are spot on and exceptionally comprehensive.I use them to help me teach my class so thank you.If you are in Virginia and are interested in teaching.I believe I could find a place for you.

We run across KZread channels all day long. Most of them mean..well..not much. Then you run across those that mean the most. Jeremy, I must say, your vids are wonderful. I like your personality, how you speak and how humble you are. You are an intelligent man, and I so believe there will be many more who benefit from your kindness and willingness to share what you've learned and triumphs you've had. Thank God he made you:)

As a prior, military trained Master Electronics/Avionics Tech, National Bureau of Standards Lab Rat, current Electrician and lifelong inventor, your Engineer friend was right. You have a gift. An expression I coined in the early 70's is very appropriate for you as you show immense imagination as well as curiosity coupled with the ability to research and learn. Back then I wrote: If Necessity Is The Mother Of Invention, Then Imagination Is The Father Of Progress.

Welcome to the wonderful world of solid modeling. Having been a metal fabricator/ engineer for almost 50 years, I can empathise with you that there is no better feeling than solving a problem with your own mind and hands. Thanks for the content. Good to know there are brilliant people out there.

Wow, that was great. I was going to guess you came out of some Navy nuclear submarine training program, but no, it turns out your just another run of the mill genius! Best of luck and I will enjoy being along for the ride.

I am a hobby woodworker and love being in the shop. I stumbled upon your channel several years ago and I have watched a lot of your videos. A lot of things that you get excited about I do as well. I am astonished at learning how things work. Now a disclaimer must be made right here, I am not even in the same universe as your intelligence with engineering at all, but I know I can learn. I am not going to be a CAD artist or an engineer at anytime but I do love coming to channels like yours where a person like me who has limited knowledge of the subject coming into it but at the end of the video can leave with a smile because I have learned something new. That to me is what KZread should be all about. I just wanted to say that you are a blessing and I appreciate what you do and the time you take to make these videos. This world needs more people like you my friend. God bless you and have a wonderful day.

Jeremy - Really great story! Your persistence and dedication are exemplary . Keep going, you are a wonderful example for anyone to follow.

I agree. At his age I was driven and didn't care about making money. I would spend 24h a day at my job (sometimes but 10h days was not uncommon) to get something done right BUT life hit me hard and I never recovered. I lost my career and after looking at the modern IT field I am glad it is gone (let Asia have it). I still tinker and I love learning something new so I still have his drive but the passion died I think, or should I say life beat it out of me. This guy has a future as he is humble and just a straight up guy.

I'm a Professional Engineer (with degrees and decades of experience) and I've watched a number of your videos. You sir, are are an ENGINEER (and an excellent one at that!), even though your employers pay you as a Draftsman.

Wow, you designing industrial machines and I've spent 16+years building hydraulic power supply units and the machinery they power. We specialize in pipe laying equipment, winches, and cranes for the offshore industry. I absolutly love what I do, only thing is I had to walk away for some time to enter cancer treatments. I beat the cancer but the chemo and radiation beat me. I'm still getting over the I'll side effects and hoping to be able to return to work in the near future. I keep in touch with the boss and engineers and they all want me back, in fact my tools are still locked up in the shop and their waiting on me, hope it's not much longer.

Hi James, I just read your comment and I'm genuinely curious, how are you now? I'm glad you beaten the cancer!

What a class act you are! The world needs more people like you!

Hey man! None of the movie studios are "begging for money". Their content is not as good as yours. Keep being awesome dude!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for doing this particular video. Your employer is right. A bunch of things converge in you, and I'm not a believer in "gifts", but your skills in some weird kind of effortless communication and connection are remarkable. That you combine it with an intuitive grasp of how things operate is just fortunate for us. Keep going with your formal, self-directed study. I don't 'do' Patreon, but I'm going there now for you.

I've been a Mechanical Design Engineer for 30 years and you are a talented and imaginative Engineer -- BTW: SolidWorks is a great CAD program -- I've used a number of systems and it is my favorite. My degree has been an advantage, but when all is said and done, companies need people that know how to make ideas into reality. Subscribed.

Your greatest skills are problem solving and design. I was a traditional practicing mechanical engineer for 30yrs until I finally broke out of the cubicle life and started building boats. When it comes to practical Electrical engineering info, I use your channel. Keep up the good work! Thanks for your contribution!

I can see you doing a TED talk in a couple years about repurposing. It's been a passion of mine for almost 60 years. People need to realize we can't just keep throwing things away until we've extracted every ounce of goodness an item offers. Keep up your good work and I'll keep watching...Thank you.

I often get frustrated at humanity's need to request personal information when it's not needed. To each their own. Keep up the good work.

Dude, you are the coolest. Self-taught. CAD designer by day, engineer by night.You have natural talent, and that is the root being a good engineer. Love your stuff, keep up the great work. I am a Mech Eng, but need to learn some practical electronics, and you are very helpful.

A weird KZread reality is that people engage with video content in a non-linear fashion; we see something interesting (often suggested by an algorithm), then go backward and forward in time to find additional material. This morning, I watched your video on engineering considerations for woodworking project (DR FARM). Your process was excellent and is the type of content I am most interested in: problem solving and a focus on principal thinking rather than a basic "how to" video that is limited to one discrete project. All that to say, watching this video after the fact gave me insight into why your video content is so excellent. Your openness and humility to learn something new (the initial engineering internship) is both inspiring and encouraging. Additionally, (as is true of many content creators), your generosity of spirit in sharing what you know and your sincere desire to help others grow is commendable. Keep up the great work, and thank you.

Your channel has been the greatest KZread find for me yet.

I discovered your channel a few days ago. You have to be the most interesting man. Your videos are instructional, fun , easy to follow and you are a truly a gentleman. I grew up taking anything I found at the local junk yard and taking it home. My mother would always ask "What are you doing with that ?" My response was always " I'm taking it apart to see what's inside." I saved many parts and reused most. I still do the same. Luckily my wife loves doing the same. I hope that this inspires today's youth to do the same.

You are an amazing teacher and KZread content creator. Your videos are so easy to watch and learn from.. thankyou so much.

One of the few trustworthy, useful and sticking to integrity is to be found on this channel.

Jeremy, another career path with your skill set would be becoming an operating engineer. It pays well and its a trade that requires constant schooling (learning) and offers a wide variety of daily challenges on the job. It’s a trade where you will never learn it all. It requires a lot of city licenses. I for example have a 3rd grade boiler license, a refrigeration license, electrical license, and schooling in hydraulics, pneumatics and motor controls. I also have plumbing and pipe fitting skills. I can also weld and have a good grasp of power and hand tools, along with computer and people skills, just as you have. . The work environments change with different jobs. For example, before I got in the trade I used to wire houses and condos. But my first job out of school (industrial plant maintenance) was at a meat packing plant. It was chilly damp environment but was a union job with good benefits. The next job was working for hostess cake ( ya the twinkie folks) and I was there for 15 years. Then I worked at a bread plant. Then I had an opportunity to work for my trade school instructor who, after teaching, started his own engineering firm. This job wasn’t union but the pay was better, similar benefits and my first supervisory position. Funny how life offers so many paths. This job was working in high rise buildings. I’ worked in television stations, art museums, a lot of high security office buildings with large computer servers.. I have been in every building on the microsoft campus. Anyway, it was a great career that offered many challenges and rewarding experiences. I don;t think it’s the norm for people to work there whole career in a job they love with so many different challenges to overcome. Now in retirement, I get to tinker and get inspiration from folks like you Jeremy.

Jeremy my man..... Awesome due diligence ! I always thought you were a junker, the trash to treasure king ! awesome story I love it... I love the dollar a month aspect .. Of supporting our channels... It's truly a tribal mentality so I call everybody else who's watching your videos to think about it a dollar a month is all it takes to make a greater experience for all....Peace....

Hey man, can't say I've ever thought this about any other you tuber. You seem like a genuinely stand up guy and honestly untill I just saw this video I have NEVER considered giving to someone's patreon. But I'd be glad to throw a few bucks your way.

Jerad, there are more of them out there than you think. Jeremy's intend and passion certainly comes through in his videos better than most. The Maker community on and off KZread is one of the best I have run across. Very little negativity and all the Makers really share, even those that are doing it for a living.

I've been a CAD Draftsman and Designer for 20 years. I really enjoy the engineering field but it is rough in Houston as most of our jobs are oil and gas related and there is very little work here currently. I'm actually trying to start up a wood workings business to supplement some investing income. Solidworks is great software. If you don't know, many companies will have a home use license where you can use it at home. You will have to speak with your Solidworks rep. I've recently been teaching myself Fusion 360, as it's free. It's a more basic package but I can output to my CNC router I'm about to assemble. Keep on keeping on!

You are an incredible man. I look up to you. Your humility is the same as that is mine. I just found me a treadmill that’s going to contribute to my education and perks that I put together, watching you sir and emulating. My father once said to me “ in your younger years never seek shade from a younger tree, instead seek from a big tree.” Thanks for the Shade big brother keep doing what you do because it’s inspiring. I was medically retired from the Marine Corps at 18yrs 10 months and 23 days on active duty. I was injured in Afghanistan and that’s what did it, severe ptsd with a traumatic brain injury ant their symptoms. The reason why I mentioned this is because I was in a dark place. What kind of still I am, but I really, and your video helped a lot. I find it very therapeutical so again thank you your wisdom is the my shade. Respectfully Jesse

I love this guy. I am 71, did an engineering apprenticeship an age ago, went to a good university and got an engineering degree. After 6 years I quit and went into computing as I didn't think all of that had given me the skills (but I can work a milling machine). We are training people wrong - all you educators of engineers that might stumble on this please give it thought. If we could take Jeremy and clone him many times we might put things right!

Just finished taking the motor out of my old vacuum..for no reason i just love to see how things work and what other uses i can give them..so i searched and found you! Probably best channel thus far..the way you explain things clearly and basic enough for us to understand is something you don't find often. Thanks for making these videos and staying humble and down to earth for you to share your knowledge with us.

I love that you are self taught. I've always felt that the best engineers are the folks that are so passionate about what they do, that they do it in their free time. Exactly like you do. Thanks for the great videos!

You are incredible. I know you have to hear that all the time. I think what comes through with you most in your videos is that you have good intentions and you’re genuine. You obviously are very smart and that is a gift. I will try to pay forward the things I learn from you.

You do indeed have a gift Jeremy. I too love to teach and only discovered that when the Navy assigned me to teach steam engineering (boilers, turbines, pumps, valves, etc.). It also sparked a love for learning as I wanted to be sure of what I was trying to teach. There is nothing worse than a lazy teacher. Keep up the good work. Darlington, South Carolina

Another down-to-earth, friendly, giving “maker”, “tinkerer”, etc who is well spoken, honest, and extremely likable...and is certainly talented. All the best to you, Mr. Fielding.

You are what it is to be truly free. Living your life according to your own dictates. I love you and your passion. Blessings.

Thank you for your videos! Great work

Thank you Mr. Fielding, thank you for all the research, work, and time you have spent sharing your knowledge and your experience with the YT community. You have all the talents and aptitudes to be an engineering, you have the inquisitiveness and along with the theory, you build your projects with practicality (which is something that engineers forget about, yes, sometimes). Thank you for your humanity and for what you are bringing into mankind knowledge "for the masses". May Peace be with you, Ciao, L (FoMoCo engineering).

As stated many times before me. You are a very worthy man. Sincerity is an understatement for what your able to convey to your audience. I could listen and watch your videos all day and still want more. Simply, Thank You !

Don’t ever undervalue your knowledge it actually is priceless. Keep up the fantastic work !!! I love your channel,

I stumbled across your site today by doing the opposite of what people on the net were saying about KZread's annoying recommendations feature. They were saying turn off video watching history. I turned it on because I figured KZread's algorithms are based on what I've watched and sure enough everything changed properly. It was then that I saw your post on engineering for woodworking and that interests me a whole lot and so I clicked and then subscribed. I thank you for your work, you're literally everything I've been looking for with increasing my wood working skills.
