Can you do a video on RSIR motors I noticed in your 2019 video beginners guide on electric motors you didn't mention anything about them.
HURRY UP AND RELEASE MORE CONTENT!!!!
a finer grain if agrarte would have made the conteete smoother /denser/ and less prone to crack/ fiber additives would have been advitageous as well if you base beging to shake aprart remember this
How come you didn't source out the parts to someone to do it for you w/ their commercial equipment? DIY with CNC looks insane..
06:21 - "Fortunately being the fabricator as well as the designer, I can be like 'eh, it's all right'" - easier to forgive when you have to forgive yourself 😄!
Nice to see you here too Jeff!
i get a warm, fuzzy feeling every time i see a youtuber i like commenting on a video from another youtuber i like
@@Danny.._ Dude same
I would say this is very difficult balancing act.. between knowing enough to know when you can work through a mistake and saying, I should have caught that...
Then there is the other side where (like the light bulb)... I found 10000 ways a light bulb doesn't work...
I find myself at the edge of understanding, so the next step is either total blunder or "How did I do that?"...
For people like us, it's almost always an uphill battle with no appreciation from the outsiders. Then after 5000 blunders comes the reward you could almost grasp 5000 tries ago...
"I can do all things through Christ, who is my strength."
Sharing your mistakes made you more relatable until you showed your 3 kids! It's incredible how you find time for everything! You're just amazing!
jamesdim: I hope you aren't including the kids as part of the mistakes?! Although, there have been times with my kids.... Got to love them tho'.
I assume he just never sleeps! ;D
I'm glad that smart, responsible people like him are having kids, so I don't have to. :D
@@railgap Sleep who needs that???
8:19 - You know you're a machinist when it's 2AM and there are Aluminium chips in your beard. Amazing work Jeremy!
That was our experience commercial fishing though too. And we were definitely not machinists. Just doing fabrication and repairs.
@@GunFunZS fishing? you mean finishing?
@@WmSrite-pi8ck no I meant commercial fishing. My family built in fabricated a lot of boats and a fair amount of the regular cycle of using them is repairing and modifying them. So a lot of metal fabrication is involved. I've done that since being a little kid. When you're constantly chopping up aluminum things with skill saws and drills and whatnot and rewelding them into other shapes or whatever you just get used to there being aluminum chips everywhere. They're sort of like Molly grease once you have one chip around you will never be free of them. And they have this weird nack of crimping onto your hair...
Or a scrap dealer.
If there's one thing I love more than maker videos, it's maker videos when the maker's kids get involved.
Kudos for showing the good and the bad. Love that you have your kids working along side of you. Such a fun channel to watch.
Future reference - WEAR A MASK when mixing concrete. Silicosis is no joke. Cement and aggregate dust is inorganic and your body can't break it down and doesn't get cleared out easily. Signed, a dude who spent a few years in a concrete lab.
My mom got concrete in her eye on a project and we had to call 911 for the third time that year.
The first two times were me splashing my eye with acetone and her side building office catching on fire. It was a fun year.
As a former project manager / salesman for a machine shop that specialized in prototyping, your comments about being nice to your fabricator hit home.
So many drawings where people seemed to think they needed +/- 0.0005" on a clearance bolt hole.. I quote em and explain that the part is 5 times what it should cost because I have to send it out for grinding to hit that dimension. Then ask, "Are you suuuuuuure you need this that tight?" :p
100%!
Have you ever got a print with 3/4 hot rolled drawn as 0.7500"? 🤣
You deserve a dad medal. Definitely contender for dad of the year. Kudos and respect.
Getting close to 1/2 million subs. You deserve more. Detail n accuracy is a great gift to have. I was a residential electrician for close to 40 years. Worked on high end custom homes. Some took years to build. But doing that I learned about pride in your work, like you. Your videos are great. You are great. Thanks for sharing.
Can never discount those family moments, even when it's just mixing up bags of concrete. The next video can't get here soon enough :)
In many years time: “hey dad - remember that time we mixed up a whole bunch of concrete, and then we did it over, and over, and over?”
@@AndrewEbling idk if that's a joke but it's probably true! Was talking to my dad yesterday about that time he was tearing down an old ass brick barbecue area out the back of one of our houses and how he let me help smash the bricks even though I couldn't actually lift the full size sledge hammer.
That was 22-23 years ago (I'm 26 now).
So if I can remember hitting a brick with a hammer alongside my dad from when I was 3, I'm sure these boys will remember all this in a few decades too!
It's very appreciable that you showcase your mistakes. Too many diy channels keep everything "neat and proper," and that's often discouraging to people who are inspired but give up from their mistakes.
The looks and attitudes of the kids saying "The old man has lost it, lets humor him for now" is so priceless and reminiscent of my kids of many years ago. There may be better things to do than work and have a good time with your kids but very very few. You are very lucky ... but then again so are your kids
Person watching this with me kept asking, "Why doesn't he just buy a robotic arm? Surely you could buy one for a lot less than it takes to purchase all those tools and material." I ignored it twice, but the third time I had to explain to them that buying a robot arm (or anything) isn't cool or fun. That you don't get to learn anything that way. That you don't get to have fun on the journey of exploration. Anyone can buy a robot arm. Only a boss can make a robot arm. Thanks for letting me know there's a whole group of people out there who think like I do; who want to do challenging things because they are challenging. It's nice to know that in some spheres math and science and just knowing how to do things is still cool.
A half ton of concrete, mixed by hand? You sir, are my hero.
Love a good dad with his kids. Here for the robot, subbed for the awesome person and good dad.
I love how you built that environment and make sure your kids learn from you. Keep it up 100%
"Mistakes Were Made" could be the name of a whole series, tbh.
In my adult life, Jeremy Fielding is my inspiration. I’m now in Electrical Engineering focusing on mechatronics in part because of your videos. I just found a 6 axis arm in the storage loft at work too. So this series is gonna help me out!
It's so cool to see your kids taking an interest in what you're building and having them help out! As someone who's mixed what feels like thousands of bags of concrete by hand I would suggest using a garden hoe next time. You can get it done with a spade shovel but a garden hoe is really much easier to push and pull the mix around with. I'm sure you can imagine how the force being applied on a blade at 90 degrees to the handle would differ from that being applied to a shovel blade which is almost parallel to the handle.
Why can’t I find friends like you. Need more people in the world that want to learn and build.
Ironically enough, if you can't find friends, you gotta make em.
I can relate to your anxiety about the first true runs of your arm - when I was building my CNC router table, the closer I got to making first cuts, the more apprehensive I became. I started obsessing over minor things like cable clamps and shielding limit switch wiring; all subconscious delay tactics because I’m sure I had put so much effort into designing and building that I didn’t want to face failure. Eventually I ran out of excuses, and I had to turn it on and try. Surprise: some things worked and some things didn’t; but I lost my anxiety and started working on fixes. I think that’s the curse of the lone inventor - you don’t have the momentum of a team to drive you forward; but on the other hand you get all the pride when it eventually works out. Been there, brother - it’s all going to work out fine.
That laugh when the CNC table saw knocked the wood off suggests that's happened before 😂 also love that we get to see all the errors and little mistakes! Beyond that motor breaking (felt ya pain), it's great to see all those little moments where holes are a bit big, non-critical things don't quite line up and that. So easy to beat ourselves up about every little thing, but you got the right attitude, just keep on moving and getting it done!
Also your kids seem great, any kids that get involved pouring concrete so they can hang out with their dad are great in my books!
A concrete mixer is a great thing to use. Cheap to rent and saves time and gives a better surface finish, It's amazing how much work it takes to mix concrete by hand, especially if you don't have a bunch of kids to help. You also need a vibrator if you want a good outside finish using a mold. Great project. I really appreciate that you share your failures as well as your triumphs. I hate to say I learn more from my mistakes but somehow I think that's true.
Awesome build Jeremy!
Also, props to your kids! Few kids nowadays want anything to do with something that includes work.
I find it pretty awesome how you got your kids interested in your projects, not only does it give them time with you it also might teach them some valuable skills!
DC Janecke: It looks like a "Win-win" situation... some great kids, and a Dad that does some really "Out-there" things, and is prepared to include the kids.
A perfect environment for them to flourish.
Exactly, I'm sure those kids will be coming up with some brilliant projects of their own some day.
The best part about this video is you teaching your kid
When I saw the part where your kids started helping I wished i could thumbs up the video more thane once. What a great father! Thanks for the videos.
Imagine this robot loading parts onto your machines. That would be so cool!
Having your kids come out after all those frustrating machining issues looked like exactly the pickup you needed 😁. If it were easy, everyone would do it. Thanks for keeping it real, I definitely empathize with the struggles in the shop sometimes.
I can't believe this is the first video in this series youtube recommended to me, I'm going to have to go back and watch them all!
I love how advanced your projects are and how they build off easier projects. The fact that you also share your mistakes really set you apart as an educator. Great work!
That is how you learn
As far as I’m concerned,you are a genius,and a good father.
Jeremy on the edge right before the sponsor segment. I felt that.
Really excited to see this continue to progress. You may run into an issue with your concrete in the future because you didn't add any reenforcement. Concrete can get brittle and crack under stress and your robot will be putting a lot of stress on it. Usually you would reenforce with wire mesh or rebar so the concrete has some inner structure to hold on to.
There are many old bridges with unreinforced mass concrete piers. And that looks like a lot of concrete right there. My only concern is putting the machine's base plate at the corner, instead of the center, which will likely cause some concrete to spall off over time. But Jeremy can still reinforce that corner with rebars and a couple more inches of concrete.
His best remedy at this stage would be to reinforce the box from outside with some carbon fiber rolls.
You have an awesome dad with a great attitude! Just earned a sub
A lot of channels don't admit their mistakes. You and your workshop are amazing. I wish I'd had something like that when I was younger. Guess I'll have to settle for watching you and being envious 😁👍.
I really appreciate your focus on in-process lessons learned.
You the man Jeremy. How does one become as knowledgeable as you?
He is self taught & his videos led to an irl job(!)
You really make those mistakes your worth in showing how you overcome them. Brilliant.
Good on you for having your kids help rather than chasing them off. My Mom and Dad would let us get involved with a lot of different things and it does make a difference. I have enjoyed watching your content and learning with you. Keep going.
The lack of a blade guard on that table saw scares me, but it's neat to see the whole process with all the mistakes. Keep it up!
I've loved watching this journey, but my favorite part has to be a dad doing stuff with his kids. Good for you, man.
Don't know how CZcams algorithm work, but I watch Destin from Smarter Every Day, then I saw your face in my recommend list = instant subscribe
I love your contents because I get to see you making mistakes and correcting them as you progress. That is what separates your contents from other makers who only show the perfect results which may or may not be their first attempts.
Wow, you have come a long way from salvaging motors from old vacuum cleaners and treadmills!
from treadmills to threadmills
@@joshc1590 lol that's a good one
There are very few things in life as awesome as when your kids get interested in what you are doing and you get to give them some of your knowledge.
Thank you so much for making these videos. I'm a mechanical designer and fabricator at a start-up tech. Your experiences making these parts really relate to me when I first started prototyping my robots. These mistakes and bad experiences enhance our ability to grow and become experts in our field. It's the hand on experience that separates an amateur from a pro.
It's so nice to see you inspiring your kids along..they seems to be impressed when you said "we are mixing concrete" :)
Hi Jeremy. Greetings from Australia I really like your work.
little tip re the engine crane... Instead of pumping it up try lifting the jib arm gently with the stop tap open until it is past the load height, then when it eases down shut the tap with the hook positioned. If you seals are good it will not let in air and save a lot of time.
Regards...
John
when it rains it pours but you have to love it when you get lucky. Thanks for creating your videos
I’m so glad there are videos out there like this. Someday I might buy one and now I know I won’t know how to use it.
LOL watching you make concrete without a spade to turn it & breathing the silica dust; it's nice to know we're all learning stuff.
Watching him breath in the silica with his son standing next to him made me hard cringe.
@@PhilSzymanowski yeah I felt that too, kinda not a fun family activity.
I'm a former prototype tooling and machine designer. I did it for 10 years. The skills your developing will quickl surpass most of mine. Design, machine and build will teach you more than an engineering degree ever will! You will be able to bill your time much higher then you've imagined very soon!!
Put steel shavings into the concrete mix nest time for a huge increase in weight and strength.
Seeing your son makes me proud, I can't begin to imagine how you must feel.
Clicked for the cool project, subscribed cause you're such a good man. Keep on being awesome!
Damn, what an awesome project. Really looking forward to the future episodes.
yep, you definitely need to have some ventilation for that concrete mix dust.
Ventilation and face masks. That stuff is so bad for your lungs. I'm pretty sure it's printed on the bag.
I have mixed 10,000 bags or so of portland neat cement. Was subject to inspection of mud weight. 6 gallons to 1 94 pound bag = neat cement. Pumped through trash pump and tremie pipe from bottom of annular space to surface
How beautiful. Thanks for showing this to us, including the hard times. What a wonder that kids can make us enjoy the most arduous tasks just with their sheer presence. All best with all my heart.
I live for your content. You are doing all the things I want to do. The amount I am learning is propelling me forward.
Hi Jeremy. Couple of pointers for you. Try using a shop vac to suck up the chips when you are machining. A good shop vac will take up the chips even if they are wet. You may have to pour some coolant out of the shop vac from time to time but it is a lot better then using a brush manually. Secondly, it's probably not a good idea to be mixing concrete or any other abrasive material in the shop. The dust can get into the machines and damage the ways. I hope you cleaned the machines really well after mixing the concrete and then re-lubricated everything thoroughly. Great project so far. You are an inspiration.
In addition to being a great maker and CZcamsr,You ((more importantly)) sure are one cool dad!!
Best regards
Any Jarvis that needs an engine hoist to move gets a thumbs-up from me!
Nice build, and thanks for including your learning moments.
Also, pallet jacks for a mobile Jarvis aren't very expensive, even new.
That is how I move it now
I remember seeing one of Jeremy’s videos 5 years ago with a relatively low subscriber count. So great to see him doing so well. He definitely deserves the success. Who else would build a 7 axis industrial robot in the or garage?
Dang, your amount of professionalism is off the chart
many many beginner mistakes are being made here for a guy with a CNC mill. Every operation in this video was botched. Wrong depths, feedrates, stuff you just have to double check before going into machine. Leading all the way up to assembly where motors were destroyed and entire project may as well have been restarted... must have access to a lot of free cnc machining time. We dont all have this
not giving work piece right coolant, cutters (he bought?) going to gum up. You have to move the coolant nozzles while cutting or will end up with funny surface finish also when cutter is engage and disengage with work.
I had only been machining for about 2 months when I recorded most of this. So yeah.... I would expect many mistakes from a beginner like myself. I explain this in the video just before this one. Thanks for watching, and commenting... it’s helps the video:)
@@togowack iirc he made the mill himself from a lot of free parts and shared the process for others to learn. If anyone has earned the luxury of free machine time this is probably the guy.
@@togowack the professionalism is how he makes his videos and presents himself. He explains the mistakes he learned from in serious manner. There's plenty of videos where the present says things like "huh, that's not right" and "ope ****" as they're working. That can be entertaining, but it's what would be considered an unprofessional presentation.
"It wasn't flat" that's just part of the learning process Buddy. Keep at it :-)
With all due respect, your bad day(s) was awesome to watch!
Concrete is great fun :) My dad and I have been remodeling a room in the basement which involved quite a lot of it. A shovel is the best tool for mixing. And an N95 mask for the dust. You can vary the water a little bit depending on whether you need it to flow or stay where you put it. Mortar sticks even better (especially on vertical surfaces) and can get into smaller spaces, but is less durable in bulk. Generally good to have both available, though obviously not needed in your case just making a heavy mass.
We all learn from our mistakes. This is such an ambitious project requiring so so many different skills. Well done buddy 👍
Wow. What a great video. Thank you for sharing your struggles, and the missteps. I’m glad I’m no the only one who has these moments. :)
Love this series!!
DUDE you most SERIOUSLY ROCK! ! Love your Deam-it-flip N JUST BUILD IT ATTITUDE!
It’s been neat to see you grow and advance. Congratulations and am happy for you.
Remember, if it is true that, “Sometimes you win, and sometimes you learn”. That would mean there is more knowledge failure.
A study in perseverance! Wonderfully enjoyable to watch…from a distance!
Very cool, extra cool that your kids got involved. I'm very impressed.
I always love the sheer happiness that comes through in your work. Great work, keep it up, and I'm looking forward to seeing you develop the rest of Iron Man's suit!
Jeremy, I really appreciate that you shared the mistakes and struggles of this project. It's encouraging to all of us who seldom get things working the first time! The robot is coming along great!
2:30 in the morning, and I'm watching a fellow engineer build a robot in his garage in 4k. Thanks man, I think engineering is in our blood 🤣 love your content, love your projects, thanks for beautiful content.
17:18
-What are you guys doing?
-We're making concrete come take a look.
-Oooh that sounds fun!
You can see that Jeremy is quite successful in making his kids interested in making stuff.
This must be coolest project currently in CZcams! 🤘🏻
"Do you want to try stirring?"
Hahaha brilliant
Very enjoyable. And lovely to see your kids involved and interested!
I have somehow missed this whole series. Your videos don't show up in my subscription feed for some reason. Bloomin youtube! I have been missing out on this amazing stuff.
Love your work. Showing your mistakes and roping in the kids. Wholesome!
Wish my kids were interested in my projects 👍. Great to see them helping. Lovely workshop too. Mine is just a mess.
Jeremy, you need to make this arm disassemble a vacuum cleaner motor on its own, I want to see this channel come full circle 🙂
And, brilliant job man, it's amazing watching you learn and skill up, really inspiring stuff. 👍
That robot will be strong enough to disassemble bowling balls!
I've just stumbled upon your channel. Wow!!! By far you have one, if not the best channel on the internet my man. Again Wow!!! Keep your channel as is, there is sooooo much our young people can see, learn, and understand why it is soooo important to stay in school and to look into other job opportunities, as well as skills. Working not only with their hands, their minds as well. To show them if college and a desk job is not what you are filling. You enjoy working with your hands and the outdoors as well. Then there are other opportunities out there for them. Sites like yours are what is needed on the internet and people like you, who are willing to share their experiences with being creative with not only your mind, your hands as well. That a job is what you make of it. That it's not a four letter word to be looked down upon, having a job skill that involves something other than You sitting behind a computer screen all day, and inside as well, showing that the computer is and can be a useful tool for your work that has nothing to do with sitting in front of its screen all day. That it is just that, a tool, that can help with other skills that involve working with your hands as well as your mind. Again you should be one of the largest channels out here in the world of the internet. I will be turning my friends and family on to your site. May God continue to Bless you and yours.
Expensive mistakes can be avoided by using hand tools to assemble things instead of power tools. So many people love them because it makes them look like efficient workers.
This is so awesome Jeremy - I especially love how you get your kids involved!
You have to love those power outages. We had one recently while I was using my laser. I drive it from a laptop which basically has a built in UPS. The controller is powered by the USB connection to the computer. So everything was fine during the very short power outage other than the stepper motors. They had no power. The controller didn't understand that and kept on sending commands. When the power came back on, the stepper motors just picked up from where they were. Needless to day the part was ruined. It was not a great loss of material, just time invested.
Keep up the great content Jeremy!!
I liked seeing the base mounting bolts that go into the concrete are proper J bolts. Some rebar matrix would have been a good addition for a chunk that size as all the bolts won't be loaded equally or gradually if the arm is accelerating fast. Something to make it stronger is the addition of a thin layer of mortar under the baseplate during final installation to fill any voids left under the plate. Just enough to squish out of the sides is ideal. This would be the same step as torquing all 8 of the bolts to the value you have chosen with the arm in the vertical position (so the forces on the plate is centered). Awesome project! And yes, do involve your children as much as possible. Not only do they learn about tools, but they learn about you and you learn about them. That is much more valuable than the robot.
Loved every second of it, one day i hope to have kids and be together with them in a garage shop like yours! :)
Jeremy, please build your own 'powerwall' or some massive UPS for your shop! You deserve better than alarm-clock-style fails due to power loss. Love the content. Cheers!
I’m really enjoying watching your journey over the last couple years. Keep it up!
I love how cool you are about everything. You have a great personality and I enjoy learning from you. Keep on keeping on buddy!
This is so cool!
Very inspiring and educational!
Total respect. Know how hard this is. You are a nice man Jeremy.
Loved the video!
So excited to see all you've done Jeremy.
Thanks for taking us along on this adventure! 🤯
Hi Love your work, one suggestion would be when making parts from stock alloy plate I have found that skimming both sides before machining the part will help with the plate staying flat as you release a certain amount of surface tension in the stock plate when machining one side and the plate can bow if you leave the opposite side unmachined, also you can not underestimate how rigid the base needs to be to help the accuracy of the robot
Keep up the great work
Really interesting stuff! Great machining tips and great that you get to spend quality time with your kids
Incredible work love this series
I like how you mix it up with design/construction then the end work and testing. Keeps it interesting! Great job on the video as well as the 'bot!
