What does technology say about our values? Technology and technique are the how, and values are the why.
Good and Basic is one of the most eclectic channels you're likely to find on CZcams. Our bread and butter are project videos where we explore primitive technology, ancient crafts, and creatively basic solutions to fundamental problems, and philosophical videos where we break down key principles in ethics, history, and economics. But the real key is in the crossover between the two.
We're interested in the appropriate technology movement, cottage industrialism, the history of the industrial revolution, the history of technological progress (and its influence on daily life), old ways of living, small solutions, sustainability, gardening, and much much more.
Join us as we explore fundamental questions and the practical solutions people have turned to to solve them over the years.

I would like to see what program you used to make 3d files and how you set up a Etsy shop. Also how did you keep track of costs.
Hello Sir I Visited your CZcams channel and noticed it ranks lower than others. SEO seems to be lacking, though your content is fantastic . Wondering why your videos aren't attracting more views? One key factor is insufficient SEO (your videos' SEO score is 42/100%, that's why your video is not reaching out to the people and you do not have many subscribers, views, likes, watch time, and comments. I also noticed that your video thumbnail was good. If you'd like, I can assist you with improving it. I think your CZcams channel will make your dream come true. I am waiting for your response.
Send me an email.
@@GoodandBasic Sir please check you email. I have send you an email. Thanks.
Thanks for the transparency on this video and best of luck on your endeavors. I have 10 direct drive artillery genius printers that I'd like to donate to your friend. 6 of them are in unused mint condition, four function but have been used. I also have about 5 more that might need some love and care to fix but happy to include as well. If he's interested, please get in touch I'd love the chance to assist his journey. Cheers
That's incredible. I'll let him know.
What about the slaves that did it by hand???

But most of the states have their own versions of the bill of rights. For instance, in TN we have a right to bear arms in our constitution, mirroring the national constitution.
The vaccid19 really shackled my mind as well along with resin poisoning a decade ago. I used to be hyper aware but limited my senses or I'll be lax but I know I can't be under social safety net till I'm not draftable. Weird "random" stimulus from my teenage years revitalized me more than "inner child" that was all fear and loathing.
I love my Etsy shop, and especially my customers. Where I think you and I differ is that I'm a hobbyist 1st and don't depend on my artisanship to make a living. I've been on Etsy just over 10 years, and understand that I'm Etsy's customer, has helped me keep the proper perspective with our relationship. I felt the pain in your story and appreciate your sharing it. PS I'm a retired factory worker and this allows me to have a different approach than you. Good luck with your new career, I'm happy for you. God Bless

Stumbled across this video by accident doing exactly what you said you do when given free reign of your time. I expected to skip through it and be done but you actually touched on a lot of topics that I struggle with too so I actually really enjoyed this video, Thank you!
Glad to meet a fellow traveler.
Watch this, Cannonball!
I was wondering what happened there because I had been following the college for some time years ago, but saw that the website had gone down recently (COVID-era policies?).
As someone who has also moved on (for now) from being my own boss, this is so relatable. Thanks for the honest video
Indian ahh intro
Found this video serendipitously - considering starting a side hustle using my 3D printers. Would really like to hear more about the details of your business.
Great honest sharing…thank you.
thanks for sharing, wish to you best for the next step ;-)
Something you said about time mgmt and doing orders last minute made me wonder if you've ever heard of inattentive adhd? Spend a few minutes researching it (psyche2go has some good vids), because if that is the cause, knowing it is a game changer.
Thank you for your honesty and experience.
also the thngiverse link is dead did yalltake it down
It's still on thingiverse. I'll check the link. In the meantime, look for spinning wheel in the search bar. JB
if your friends ends up not working out ad they cant do it anymore may i beg to take a swing at it I've been struggling finding a product that would sell well. id love to get this to a full time or any time as i want to be my own boss as even though my current job is great no job is permanent covid taught me that. one suggesting is to use a different printer i can source you affordable elegoo neptune either 3 or 4 that are ready to print if either of you are interested I've been buying them but the orders keep them sitting as i dont sell much. any ways i wish good luck to him in the endeavor
It always concerns me when someone says they want to be creative, and that most creative freedom you can have is working for yourself. I’m 100% convinced that if I worked for myself I’d be spending all my time trying to keep the business profitable, dealing with difficult customers/clients, protecting my IP from copycats, and ensuring I’m not breaching any regulations. None of is the kind of creativity I’m good at or interested in. I’m lucky to have a job where all that stuff is managed by other people so that I’m freed up to be creative. I do hope your friend finds success with his business, but in my opinion it sounds like he’d be successful anywhere, he’s the kind of person I’d want working at the company I work for.
Probably because of the Ender 3
You mentioned some of the things you learned, and i think most of us can learn from one thing you said you learned. Can you please make a video about how you research the demand and what people are willing to pay for the items you want to make?
I see from the videos in your channel you are great at working with your hands. It’s amazing how you made the shift to a lawyer. I mean one day you are hands-on creator and in the next you work in an office, shuffling through paper and law books etc (I imagine). Man what a radical change..I wonder how you handle that. Career change from doing something you obviously love to something else is something I couldn’t dream about. Thanks anyway for the video and congrats on your new career..🎉🎉
Few suggestions for those who are starting: 1. Automate as much as possible 2. Either print on belt or push off printed parts 3. Print using 5kg spools so you can run nonstop for a long time 4. Dont upgrade machines just so you have the newest shiny machine. Only replace/upgrade if its not working. 5. Ventilate the rooms where you print, work and monitor the prints remote via webcam. 6. Try to be partner of a larger company and execute their orders too. 7. Outsource when you are overloaded with orders.
Do you know of any resource to automate the newer core xy printers such as bambu? It seems like no-one is doing this or knows how.
@@bobwatson1895 bamboo is closed source project. Thats why its hard to automate. 3d farms build custom printers or use open source 3d printers. If bamboo had api or opened the source code it would be a diff. story
@@non7sens That makes sense, I know you can run custom G-code at the end to eject but queuing prints automatically seems not possible. Thanks for the input!
How anybody can touch a cotton ball and not immediately run away from the texture is mind boggling.
In the end, everthing is decided with politics.
Bloomfield Colliery Near Dudley 1776: ' Birmingham, March 11th. On Friday last a Steam Engine constructed upon Mr Watt's new principles, was set to work at Bloomfield Colliery, Dudley. From the first moment of it's setting to work it made about 14 or 15 strokes per minute, and emptied the engine pit (which is about 90 feet deep, and stood 57 feet high in water) in less than an hour. This engine is applied to the working of a pump 14 inches and a half diameter, which is capable of doing to the depth 300 feet, or even 360 if wanted, with one fourth of the fuel that a common engine would require to produce the fame quantity of power. The cylinder is 50 inches diameter, and the lenth of the stroke is seven feet. These engines are not worked by the pressure of the atmosphere. Their principles are very different from all others.
Can you suggest some ways I might try to slow the wheel down? I have to treadle fairly fast in order for the rod connected to the wheel (footman?) not to get stuck, and my leather brake is resting on the orifice, not tightened. Will tightening it slow the speed with which it yanks the fiber from my hands? Thx!
Tightening it will actually speed it up. The treadle just takes practice. Try greasing the flyer rod
Im trying to start my own 3D printing business and would love another video
What a great video. Thank you for being so raw, I'm still fairly young and I'm so afraid of failure that I don't really attempt any of my ideas. Seeing you go balls deep and just shrug it off time after time was very inspiring. Good luck on your future and congratulations on starting a new career.
Yes, please make another video on the details you learned so that you can help those that DO still do this.
Should have bought a set of bambu lab P1S they are light years ahead of the bed slingers they require a lot of work.. Working for yourself can be hard, focus is the thing for me maintaining the drive, take breaks it helps.
Very interesting video and I love how you shine light on the different aspects of it.
You sir, are a giant nerd… and i aspire to be like you! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Why an Etsy biz and not an Amazon seller?

You are reaching for concepts far beyond your reach. No, Ayn Rand and Karl Marx do not agree on this subject. Marxists believe that in capitalism, workers are alienated because they perform repetitive tasks without seeing the final product. This results in a sense of disconnection from their labor. Objectivists can rightly see that alienation stems from a lack of abstract thinking. Money is an abstraction of wealth, it serves as a medium of exchange that simplifies transactions. Instead of directly trading goods (like in a barter system), individuals receive money for their labor, which they can then use to purchase other goods and services. This process requires abstract thinking because the money itself is not the wealth but a representation of the wealth created. In the classic example of a factory worker earning money by assembling car parts, although the worker does not see the entire car, the money earned represents the value of their contribution. When this money is used to buy a bookshelf, for example, the worker should understand that their labor (assembling car parts) is abstractly equivalent to the bookshelf’s value. This understanding bridges the gap between labor and the final product.
I hope you don’t beat yourself up too much over your time management, I’m 65 and still struggling with this. Looking at my upcoming retirement in a few months your comments on freedom resonated strongly with me. Thanx for the video.
lol had the same idea after watching Primitive Technology
Nice, good thoughts. Thanks for sharing!
