David's Tutorials

David's Tutorials

I - David of David's Tutorials - am a teacher at heart. I am also what some of my kinder commenters refer to as an "old guy." I hope we all get here some day, but what being an old guy means is highly experienced in several areas. It also means I have made a LOT of mistakes.

The main purpose of the David's Tutorials KZread channel is to share with you - most of the world - my experiences, to help you learn more quickly some of what *I* have learned, usually the hard way, and to help you avoid making some of the same mistakes I have made.

As a classroom teacher, the largest class I have taught has been to about 220 people, more often in the range of 35 down to maybe 12 people. While this face-to-face teaching is a wonderful way to do it, enabling us teachers to personalize it for the learners, it is also very restricted to how many people you can put into a class. KZread helps me remove those restrictions, and reach, quite literally, MILLIONS of people.

That's why I KZread.

    Hi new to your channel I'm 66 years young and It has been years since I had to write an resume and I had been working one job for over 20 yrs now I ready to work from home but it's not that easy what would recommend for an quick thinking senior?

  • @DavidsTutorials

    As a relatively "quick thinking" senior myself, with 11 years on you 😄😄😄, I would recommend something you can do from home! I build websites and make KZread videos, but there are plenty of things you can do. It all depends on where your interests lie. I'd recommend doing a LOT of research, and keep in mind (a) what you LIKE; (b) what you think you can learn; (c) What you'll be willing to do so well people will pay you for it; and (d) which of those things has a relatively high demand? Then dig in, find a mentor or three, and sink your teeth into it. Good luck!

    @DavidsTutorials12 күн бұрын

    Thanks for the comment, James, and I do mow-mulch for the first couple months of leaf season; but then the leaves come down so fast it's time to get out the rakes. I've tried the tarp thing, the mower-bagger thing, the riding-mower thing, the blower thing, and the blower-vacuum-mulcher thing, *_and they are all quite a bit more work than this._* I am now hoping to work around to doing mulching/composting, which I plan to enhance with biochar and maybe even vermiculture. (If those two concepts are new to you, they are definitely worth checking out for any serious composter.)

    Certainly 1 way to do it. My method is more low tech. Lay opened, empty bag on ground facing leaf pile. Standing at opening, facing pile, reach between legs and lift top edge of bag, and step back onto bottom edge of opening with feet close to each side. Holding top edge up with 1 and use other to rake or scoop leaves into bag. When bag fills too much, close it with small opening, and sit on it to squish them down. Repeat process till filled. Fasted method I know!

  • @mcyeti86
    @mcyeti8612 күн бұрын

    Yes it does. The same tool that is made to knock out the pin has a notched adjustable wrench side. It's much easier to do to each section of the hinge, and you don't have a forever messed up pin (because you'll never get that straight again). Also. The pin itself stays straight and slides right back into the hinge. Yours is bad advice - watch a video yourself on how to use the proper tool for the job.

    @@mcyeti86 Well, thanks for that! I never knew such a tool existed - and I seriously doubt if any of the others viewing this video knew about it, either. I'll have to check it out and see if I can find it. Thanks for sharing. Now on the other hand, I have three hinges on which I have applied this fix more than 20 years ago, and they are all working just fine today. I cannot imagine wanting to pull out and re-straighten the pin, so I guess if it works, then maybe I don't need to run out and buy a specialty tool, eh? Take care.

Can you suggest another way to cut up the carrots for a person who does not have a food processor or a nice machine like yours? Do you think grating it will make the pieces too small?
