For future videos in this series, I'll directly start with the extended video on this channel. It's great that you included everything from the shorter video here so if I had watched the extended video only, I wouldn't have missed anything.

[@gorak9000]

I'm sure I missed much of the "extras" here skipping over the parts that were in the main video I already watched. You should assume that everyone watched the main video first, and don't duplicate it and then hide the extras in the middle - JUST put the extras here. OR warn us on the main channel not to watch that video and just watch the extended version here.

[@k6usy]

@@gorak9000^ this.

[@plutotheplanet5341]

​@@gorak9000 Or, alternatively, just dump all the extra footage here as a follow up video as well as the extended cut of the original video. But yeah, this being the original video with added things kinda discouraged me to actually watch it after I've seen the original.

[@MyTubeSVp]

If this is the system for these videos, as are many other commenters, I’d rather wait for the extended version too. This will be an awesome series!

[@plutotheplanet5341]

​@@MyTubeSVp Well, I don't know if there really is a system. Sometimes, Destin posts a longer cut version on the 2nd channel, sometimes he posts a followup with only the stuff that didn't make it. Sometimes it's just a 5 minute dump of whatever he just learned.

[@seeigecannon]

Suggestion: If you have a second, extended, video like this, ,can you advertise it at the start of the other video? I would have watched this one first because I know you make good content. Heck, you could have a video on watching paint dry and I would still likely watch the extended version because I am sure you would still teach me a lot. Keep up the good work.

[@NeonDripKitty]

agree with advertising the extended versions at the start, I want to watch the extended but I don't want to rewatch the parts from the compressed version

[@mooncow67]

Please do this, if we're gonna watch an hour we're more than likely gonna watch an hour and a half but not if we have to skip through all of the stuff we just watched

[@antoniovinciguerra8982]

That would've been awesome! I will always prefer the extended cut with Destin's videos!

[@ReedCBowman]

I totally agree. The only thing is, people dropping out of a video two minutes in will hurt the main channel in the almighty Algorithm. I would assume this is why Destin doesn't do it.

[@antoniovinciguerra8982]

@@ReedCBowman in that case, I‘m fully okay with the way he does it. Thanks for pointing that out

[@nate8088]

The thing that constantly amazes me is how well Destin is able to help people who didn't know they even had a story to tell ... tell their story.

[@bubbapate5740]

But Destin seems to think that everyone that watches his vids are absolute morons. He constantly repeats everything 4 or 5 times.

[@Look_What_You_Did]

By constantly interrupting them? Sad....

[@SpydersByte]

@@Look_What_You_Did he interrupts them to clarify things for both himself and the audience, and also often just because he's excited. its not like he's doing it maliciously

[@chmod-tf7ei]

@@Look_What_You_Did I see how he lights up and boy does he love engineering, its not coming from a bad place

[@thomasjohanns7661]

This video should have been advertised at the beginning of the main channel video, because now I won't watch it because I already have seen 2/3 of it. But now I'm subscribedd to the secondary channel :D

[@Nevaru_42]

I hate waiting for new videos, because I enjoy learning almost as much as Destin, I want more videos sooner. Always worth the wait because of the depth he goes into. Nothing gets glossed/glazed over.

[@jcballar100]

Going this in depth and finding interesting things like this that will allow you to come into the place and go this in depth is prob pretty difficult especially since a lot of the processes are secret and a hour and half video is day takes many many hours to film

[@dizbeliefdanbackhouse5807]

Do you know what i love about this, how humble and incredible everyone is, really nice people and atmosphere.

[@rodgersrcaviation2785]

Man I watch for your newest videos like it is a drug of some kind. Love the content

[@platzgo933]

Journeyman toolmaker here. Great video. My entire life has been spent making things from metal. It all began serving an apprenticeship in the electronic connector industry then went into medical device. I wish more young people would understand how high end and interesting the tooling trades can be. In my career I have made parts for nuclear submarines ,artificial hearts, and have programmed 5 axis machines with over 250K lines of code. Young folks, this is cooler than you think and at the right place you can get paid well.

[@disenchanted3724]

I get it why you don't do it, but it's nice to have a notice like "hey if you want extended version, just watch it instead" at the start of the main video. 😊 Because now I want to watch the extended footage but I don't like to rewatch stuff from the main video. I guess it's a first time thing because next time, I'll look if there's an extended version and watch it instead.

[@sber9100]

"When it sounds like butter, you're cooking with gas." Wonderful quote!

[@This_is_sparta75]

Worked for an auto parts company that made car door blanks very similar but much larger presses. This brought back memories 😅

[@Kumquat_Lord]

What was the tonnage?

[@jofixersr]

@@Kumquat_Lord 1500 tons for the draw press, and 4 1000 ton presses for the remaining operations on a 4 door bodyside. A pillar to tail light, Left hand side only.

[@justinchamberlin4195]

This might sound nuts, but hear me out: one of the more impressive machines in that entire building is the black Wilson hardness tester in the corner of the quality office...it is far from the largest or most important machine and probably only gets used occasionally depending on customer requirements, but it's definitely older than any of the employees and still remains a valuable inspection tool. I've had the pleasure of using a couple different Wilson testers of that same vintage over the years, all of which were made in the 1930s and 1940s and are as robust and accurate as the day they were made (with a little TLC, of course). As impressive as modern production and inspection tools are with their features and speed, the fact that equipment made 50, 60, 70, or more years ago is still working and being productive is maybe even more impressive.

[@ronfox5519]

That Blanchard grinder is somewhere in that age range too.

[@Miguel_Seabra]

As a tool designer for 30 years, I am very happy to see someone like you interested in this work. However, I would like to see all the work that exists before machining and assembly. It is during the project that an idea passes to engineering and all of this becomes possible. Congratulations and keep up the good work.

[@johnfranklin8319]

500,000 hits a year for 45 years!…..Made In USA!

[@gtfkt]

You could often say Made In The USA from globally sourced material with sheetmetal product too. A lot of the raw sheetmetal comes from china. Not all of it, but a lot. And the machines are often of foreign origin, Germany, Japan, Switzerland, China too. Before anyone asks, yes, there is a big difference in quality between American/Canadian sheetmetal vs Chinese sheetmetal. Mainly in the stress relieving and the dimensional cutting of the coils widthwise. You can already tell if it's chinese steel just by the way the coil unrolls on the decoiler. The sides of the sheet are wavy and the coil tends to want to slip off sideways every other turn due to the uneven stress in the metal on chinese steel.

[@johnfranklin8319]

@@gtfkt It’s was made in “the late 70s”, my guess is it’s all American.

[@NickDemberger]

Dustin, Thank you for asking Cody the speeds and feeds question! I am sitting in my chair with a two-week-old, watching your video while setting up an X-Carve in Fusion 360. The window I had up while you were talking to Cody was to program the Max feeds and speeds for my machine in fusion. Cody's response to your question that simply listening to the machine will tell you if the feed rate or speed is too fast or slow is mindblowing and beautiful at the same time. It has also saved me hours of research and googling. Thank you!

[@jughead8988]

I love Roger! My brain smells cornbread every time he speaks! Destin needs to work a day with him!

[@_wyans]

I work at a place that forges automotive suspension components, and boy howdy that is even MORE nuts. Really cool stuff.

Hey Destin! I love your content and I love this series. Would you be interested in visiting a 3D printer filament factory? I'm doing a video next month about the process.

[@ph11p3540]

In America, such a manufacturing job and work culture mix is very, very rare. Glad to see such a manufacturer who fosters mutual respect from hard working people.

[@Mr76Pontiac]

Honestly? I prefer the 2nd channel more than the primary. Much more content, much more detailed, much more entertaining. But I still sub to both.

[@romangamez9316]

Wish Dustin could pump these videos out more often I love the way he explains things and how he's always excited about learning

[@The.Talent]

This is about the coolest video of this process I've see. I ignored the main channel video cause I knew I'd want to watch the full extended cut. Warms this little engineers heart.

[@KCadbyRacing]

Thank you so much for sharing this Justin (and T&C Stamping). Ever since childhood I have always wondered how everything that's mechanical works and I have always wanted to know how stamped metal parts were made. So being able to see this entire manufacturing process from start to finish was truly amazing. ❤

[@PhilipBlank]

This is my life! I deal with this stuff non-stop and it’s great to have a quality supplier in the US!

[@riverjoslin]

I can’t tell you how awesome this manufacturing series is and encouraging people to bring back manufacturing to the USA is so important. Thank you!

[@robertperkins7339]

Great to see someone doing a video about manufacturing and real day to day engineering. I started my working life as a fabrication engineer. Brings back some fond memories! Especially the guys I had the pleasure to walk the floor with. Still the most intelligent and creative I have ever worked with!

[@__gavin__]

Man I wish you would have shouted out the extended second channel video at the start of the other video instead of the end. Either that or not included the same footage in both videos. Now I'm stuck watching (essentially) the same video twice in search of some scraps of extra footage. I really want to, but I can't justify watching this again.

[@jonkluver7912]

I lost it at "I don't know what this machine is, but I like it"- Destin "That is an old de-reeler..." Owner. 😂😂 I too, thought it was an awesome looking extraordinary machine.

[@dancingwiththedogsdj]

The first video was incredible. Then you briefly mention for MORE at the end! Yes, please!!!!!!! And here I am. Why can't everything be done like this, when applicable of course. Love it. You have a wonderful ability to ask what seems to be the perfect question to get the best information out of each individual you come across to get a better overall understanding more insightful than just about anyone I've seen and so polite and respectful of the people working and what they do.... It's fantastic!

[@TioDave]

If Cody the cnc programmer was the only thing on this vidya. I'd be tickled pink. I've been working on programing and running my mostly 3d printed cnc. Just hearing him confirm listening by ear for feeds and speeds is gold. I mean you got to know the difference in sound. It's just a confirmation of how I need things setup to make adjustments on the fly. Now I'm adapting it to run plasma and I'm sure it applies there after the plasma's manual settings for what your running.

[@NoName-zn1sb]

Our only machinist was out for a few month due to some medical issues and man, did the whole warehouse feel that. Awesome stuff!

[@hoguemr]

This was awesome! I've worked in manufacturing for 8 years including a few years in an engine bearing stamping plant doing tool and die and machine design so this was right up my alley!

[@tjmmcd1]

Great job in presenting us with inside knowledge of how parts are die-casted, machined and made. Not only was the owner a stand-up guy, but each and every one of the regular Americans interviewed were absolutely wonderful people. This also showed what a wonderful guy YOU are in the way you interviewed and treated each worker with the utmost respect. I honor and highly respect each and every one of these skilled workers. God bless you and each and every one of them!

[@JeremyWallaceSnackums]

Just as promised, the second channel is definitely a deeper dive! Thank you for the excellent content & secondary content as promised! Only a few channels are doing what you are doing. Much obliged!

[@derekdoubleut]

I worked company out of Nagoya, Japan as a Field Tech servicing stamping presses similar to this video. I was completely green and didn't know anything about presses. My first job with them was to modify a press in Memphis, TN so Panasonic could manufacture larger microwaves. It was a long time ago, I think it was a 20- or 40-ton press. The machine we modified stamped out all those tiny little holes in the screen for the window of microwave ovens. The rolls of steel are about the size of a small sedan. The company also made and serviced textile machines (looms and dobbies)

[@mikerinn6187]

Absolutely fascinating. As usual a top-notch job. Cheers

Just make sure that you can put the lawnmower back together when you get done looking at all the pieces.

Man you took me back to my old man’s tool shop in this video, my father still works in tools, Die and casting. He used to take me to machine shop just like this with same EDM machine and lathe and surface grinders and milling machines all over the place. It was around 28 years back and now as you said there is a big generation gap where this type of knowledge is lacking a lot. Thank you for taking me back to my own 12 yo memories.

[@blakelambert5643]

Great stuff Destin. Would you mind calling these “extended cut” videos rather than “extra content”. I already watched the main channel video thinking that this would be the bonus features.

[@johnoconnor4941]

I really enjoyed this whole process. The necessity of the part, the design of the process to then begin prototyping, the engineering of the tool and dies to the final manufacturing of the part required. I also understand how important the human factor is. The press is just a precise and sometimes delecate hammer being used by more than one person. Incredible. More to come, thank you Destin et al.

[@cheeseisgreat24]

I love how I legit just watched the first video for an hour, and then went straight here to watch it again as the extended cut. Very few youtube channels can make an hour long video that I want to sit through, let alone an hour long video that then makes me want to watch it again as an hour and a half long video 🤣🤣🤣 Great work Destin!

[@markiuzzolino]

My wife runs a M&A firm selling manufacturing companies and would love if you could make a similar video on how CNC and Wire EDM machines work. Her staff would benefit a lot learning from your videos.

[@jonahbrame7874]

Those gauges are literally works of art! That is such a cool in process inspection tool! I am used to pin and thread gages for go / no go but to have a form testing gage like that is super cool!

[@Bobbias]

I worked in a stamping plant for 6 years which made seat belt parts mostly. We had tons of gauges to check the forms for parts, many of which are much more complicated than what was shown there. They can be super interesting, and sometimes write difficult to figure out how to use of you're not familiar with it (for example, it's an old part doing a service run, or a brand new part/gauge). But yeah, sometimes there'll be siding sections that should only go so far, or pins with a shoulder for go/no-go. Sometimes you need to use a feeler pin and trace around the part too check for proper shape against the gauge. Sometimes they've got fixtures for measuring specific dimensions with digital height gauges. Often the gauges are more complicated and more tightly tolerances than the parts themselves.

[@Mattblevins87]

My mom (Roger Kincaid’s wife) is the quality manager for T&C, worked there for 35yrs. We used to go swimming at Mark Coleman’s lake house, every car she had from 1987 till about 2010 was the “company car” T&C had that they’d pick up executives from the airport and run around in.

[@Juror_Number_Eight]

Thank you for this video! The majority of people have no idea how we in the manufacturing industry manipulate metal to make parts that they'll never see, but that make up the everyday products they use. Every machine shop is a collection of innovators. Most of us who have been in this industry for decades could have dozens of patents to claim if we ever slowed down enough to apply for them. This is one of those careers that comes with very little thanks or recognition; we get our satisfaction from watching our presses running thousands of parts on our prog-dies, or a CNC mill that we setup throwing perfectly curled chips, or a laser cutter that we programmed slicing through 1/2" thick steel like it's butter.

[@lancepainter6016]

I will never look at my lawn mower the same 😯

[@MrKeysersoze1981]

Wish you could come to our plant and check out our transfer presses. We have 2 transfer presses with about 25 foot beds along with a mini transfer press around 15 ft. Along with 2 servo automatics with 120 inch beds making 30 parts per minute and 3 other 120 inch autos doing around 15 parts per minute. 4 manual 108 inchers and 4 smaller auto presses. We build Speed Queen brand washing machines in Ripon WI.

[@Pillowcase]

This is so inspiring. It looks like everything is right about the way this place operates. The workers are making really valuable products at such low cost per item. The business has a broad range of capabilities and customers. They deliver more value by being local. And the process itself is just a great manufacturing method, a great way to mass manufacture metal stuff. Really fantastic stuff

That's been my "lottery dream plan" for years. I am just in love with factories. The sounds. The smells. The bigger and dirtier, the better, usually. I can appreciate small and clean too, and anything in between. Ultimately it's all about the process and learning everything. Great stuff man ! Thank you !

Let me tell you with all the aerospace and aviation in town, there are more machine shops supporting aerospace here than you can count. Some of the CNC machines and presses are fantastical. Before I got into HVAC, I worked in a sheet metal shop and got to setup and run all sorts of heavy machinery from shears, rollers, presses and brakes. Not quite a machinist but close.

It really struck home how difficult it often is to explain something that for them is obvious but for us is really hard to wrap our head around. Working with GIS i often have the exact same problem, and often just default to saying "Its like Google Maps ..." in stead of trying to explain what it really means ...

That was a great hour and a half.

[@johnbarron1494]

Most enjoyable.

[@dooder126]

I worked in an automotive OEM stamping plant in college, it was truly a wonder to behold. Particularly the amount of time and effort that the machine operators and tool & die makers put in to troubleshooting panel issues on the fly. Running prototype dies was always super cool, everyone would be out on the shop floor and they’d run in in slow motion and pull panels out after each stamp to see how the forming progressed. I remember most vividly the first time I went out on the floor. It amazed me to stand next to one of the body side outer behemoth of a machine and feel the concrete floor quaking beneath me. Truly awe inspiring experience. Update: oh man this is bringing back memories of robot arms colliding with dies during panel transfers between stages 😂
