Your channel is friggin' awesome! Other people besides the tech minded can learn from this. Your audio is normalized and level throughout the entire video. Your usage of graphics and selection of screen text is spot on. The cutout models you use are modified very clean and nice. Your delivery of information covers the fine details of what is truly relevant and omits that level of TMI that can make a persons eyes glaze over and their mind to temporarily shut down. The length of the vids are just right. The choice of topics may not always sound exciting, but there are many things I learn from each video. I'd love to see this channel in a years time with a shitload of videos and buttload of interactive subscribers. Keep surprising me with the topics - you quickly became one of my favorite tech channels!

[@mosialive]

Probably the best engineering channel to date...

[@martinda7446]

Gotta say that was brilliant. This man knows his stuff...ing.

[@burtvincent1278]

Your series of videos quickly encapsulates what it took me 70 years to learn piece meal. Educational institutions were too busy teaching socialism to be of any real use. Keep up the good work.

THIS CHANNEL IS SO GOOD AND SO SMALL WHAAAAAAAAT

[@RocketRaven]

in before 1 million subs :D well in before 10k subs, man this guy is awesome

[@cnchq160]

Yeah, I wondered about that. They do an excellent job. I think having the facilities of a Technical College shows in the quality of the videos. They seem to do a good job at this school. Perhaps Google's "algorithm" takes that into account, that this channel is associated with an institution, and Google may choose to give precedence to a person working out of their shop. Consider this: Which is more entertaining? Watching Adam do a very professional, and very good job explaining things as a Teacher, at a Technical College, or watching a guy like +AvE break stuff?

[@carbon273]

EXACTLY 😭😒😭😭

[@yashsvidixit7169]

You know what Adam, Your videos are TOP NOTCH and very informative. Please don't stop making these videos.

[@pstrap1311]

Another great video! I'm a mechanic servicing the fishing fleet in my home town in Alaska and just got home from a job repacking the stuffing box on a 52" seiner. 5 1/2" shaft with 3/4" packing. I saw the video and had to watch. This channel has been frequently serendipitous with my activities like that. Thanks Machine Tech Video Blog! I also loved the Case Hardening video.

[@luthmhor]

Thank you so much for putting the effort in to make this video. Super well done, high quality and informative. You really seem to know your stuff and are an excellent speaker. Thanks again!

[@NonciclopediaForEver]

Another great video: your production and didactic values are almost unparalleled on this site.

[@sitarambonduli7623]

Your style of explanation is really unique...

[@Busarocks]

Wow, years trying to figure this stuff out and you explain it in one 9 min video. Thank you!

[@TheGhirlinzoni]

Hi Adam! My name is Fernando. I'm from Brazil. I'm a Mechanical Technician and I like your videos because they are very nice explained. Congratulations!

[@backtoafrica895]

This is by far the best video I have seen on packing.

[@barrymillen6713]

[@dougsneep]

Another great video!!! Love the added history lesson with the original application on ships.

[@HBO1984.]

Thanks for such an imformitive video. I work for a company that makes spiral wound gaskets and distributes compression packing. Now I have at least an inkling on its use and application.

[@keishrich]

Excellent video. Thanks Adam!

Thanks for making interested video

[@aimanfaris3394]

Hope to see updates on the intro/explanation of rotating machines (compressor/etc) ...you’re good at explaining these stuff

[@pimplepickerton]

I admire this mans ability to say shaft without cracking a smile.

[@jason1440]

Well done.

[@curtisjones5950]

Awesome videos! When will you have your video on how to replace the compression packing? That would be awesome.

[@knightnicholasd]

Great video. I always wondered how submerged shafts were kept from leaking all over the place. So, will you now be doing a video about the other kind of leak stopper used on pump shafts? I hope so.

[@BigNazty8732]

Great video

[@nayantha88]

Very helpful. thank you very much. can you upload more videos about water pumps

[@anandhari5059]

Very informative... Things they dont tell in books. Thank you!

[@saurabh633]

Nice video please make more of this type

[@yogarajkhaneshan6440]

excellent video Interesting Thank you so much please make more videos

[@ImranKhan-bs8ge]

Adam, you really make the topic interesting excellent work, but one request kindly uploads more, as a frequency of 4-5 topic weekly. Need your guidance in the field.

[@cogitateandabet]

Great! Please make a video on mechanical sealing 🙏

[@kadarbadsha8369]

Very good sir

[@auumair]

very informative

[@willlock3644]

Awesome video! Fixed Fire pumps for sprinkler systems are not allowed to have mechanical seals on split case pumps. Compression packing is the only acceptable seal.

[@harshparekh5494]

Excellent...

[@Jadfitree]

Hi i hope you can make videos explain about compressor seal such as labyrinth seal. Should be awesome!

[@DCC72]

As a Tribologist (expert in friction, lubrication, and wear), I give this practical video an 'A'.

[@mercuryION]

These are great videos. If their is opportunity to talk more about mechanical seals as well as bearing isolators that would be awesome :)

[@rahmonesending9321]

Thank you 💕

[@nathanlink4926]

Your Quality is really good for your channel size

Thank you

[@billiondollardan]

This is cool. I now understand a bit better what happens when stern glands on boats are packed
