Dang bro maybe thats why i like your chanel because we are similar people. The randomness of the videos is what attracted me personally. Yeah the seriousness of money is good but then useful stuff like this is where is at for me and sometimes silly stuff this just means to me that life cant be too serious and there is time for everything learning new things, prioritizing responsibility, and most important play time learning to relax and know what's really important to us. Dang i can see you are a good person just watching your pattern of videos in the past few while not sure how long I've been subscribed but i love it

Im not afraid to take things apart if its a thing i really like using .... but i have to take photos of every moment to remember how it will go back together .... my favorite big deal for me was when my 69 Lincoln Mark III had a window problem .... i didn’t know if it was electric or not ...... & i took the door panel off to look at it & i was so suprised to see plastic gears ... it had broken from wear like maybe shelf life .... i was able to find the broken chips of the cog / gear thing & did a reinforcement build up of silk wrap & clear epoxy .... & it worked just fine .... being a woman & i was by my self & couldn’t show it to anyone to be proud of me , my girl friends wouldn’t even be interested .... so i just have it as a happy thing in my memories .... my latest one was my coffee mill ... it was throwin coffee everywhere & into the motor , an Un believable mess the whole motor compartment was covered solid in grounds .... it had a broken baffle & that caused the coffee go up into the motor ... i was able to get the broken pieces & glue them back ..... that was the messiest thing ever ... i had to carefully brush all the coffee grounds & powder out of the motor ..... & found the broken pieces mixed into the grounds after i strained it .....it’s rewarding to me to fix odd things ... i’m weirdly good at fixing broken widgets .... i was raised on a ranch & things had to be fixed & hoodwinked all the time ....

[@PTvideo]

The hot water splash made my day watching this video. For whatever reason I was expecting this thing to explode after you put everything back in. This usually happens to me when I attempt at fixing things.

[@ClassyJohn]

Can you please make more videos like this? I love electronics and I really want to learn to fix them from scratch (I've been self-learning electronics from textbooks and online resources). I would love to hear your opinion/expertise in fixing devices.

[@BeatTheBush]

Sure but I kick myself because I fix things without making a video sometimes.

[@chizick14]

[@TechMalaya]

I want to learn cause I need some hobby and also making money with repairing things

[@paulstone7655]

Some of my best fixes were with items that I took apart to fix for someone, put it back together and somehow it was fixed....didn't have a f*king clue what I did but the owners like "you're an absolute genius!!!". Of course my ego accepted the complement

[@BeatTheBush]

Sometimes that happens but if you don't know the exact cause, it could come back. But then heck, if it's fixed, don't fix it again until it breaks again.

12:40 That joint i would prob be more concerned about its amperage flow. If its a low amperage joint then it prob doesnt matter but if we are talking like 12 amp flow of current, then yea that loose joint will eventually break apart from heat. That seems to be a lot of issues in electronics today, they use thin gauge wires or use cheap solder and try to pump 14 amps thru it, yes it will flow today and prob during its 90 day warranty but after years of use, that cheap solder joint will crack or that thin wire will burn itself open. By then its out of warranty. Remember these appliances are made by the thousands and made with the cheapest material and components and made to just outlast their 90 day warranty. And how many electronic repair shops do we have today in 2024 ? I only know of 1 in my city. Thats why people just junk it and buy a new one. I am one of those that id rather spend the $$ to fix it rather than send it to the land fill

Hi Francis, Can you please help me out with my new appliance. I just bought a electric grill from Japan and when I tried it at the first time, its blown and doesn't work anymore. I noticed that Japanese appliances use lower voltage (100v) than Australia (230v). My question is do you reckon if I just broke it or it's just fine and need a step down converter? Thanks

[@BeatTheBush]

It’s blown. Likely the high voltage burnt the motor or if you can find an internal fuse, replace it.

[@iCombii]

This is great. Keep doing more of these

[@eagledove9]

My grandfather was an electrical engineer. I have never learned it, but I have the capacity to understand. I saw something somewhere that said, if you're going to be using a multimeter to test things, at some point, you will also want a DC power source, like a car battery, so that you can send DC power through the appliance. The thing that I have a problem with is my propane heater. I don't just have car batteries sitting around, charged up and ready to go, and that seems like a huge pain. I would wonder if there was an alternative to a car battery, if some ordinary small battery source could be used instead, if there was a reason why this website or whatever said 'car battery' was the thing you should use - why? I definitely would want to use anything other than a car battery as a DC power source for testing of equipment.

[@BeatTheBush]

The DC power you need can come from any source that can provide the required voltage and enough current. A DC power supply lets you vary that and use it for many applications. A 12V car battery can only supply 12V but it can provide an immense amount of current. To fix your propane heater, you need to see what voltage is accepts and at what current. I would think a propane heater only needs propane but perhaps it needs some small battery for the ignition. My propane water heater for example requires only gas, and the pilot light generates enough electricity to operate the ignition device.

[@anitahamlin2411]

I hate putting things in the trash. I try to take anything they will accept to a recycling center if it can't be fixed. I usually try to open it and see if I can fix it. Good points to try to repair. Thanks.

Great job! I’m not a disposable person either. My Dad always fixed things. I have a 20 yr old lawn mower, 15 yr old coffee pot w/grinder, 17 and 13 yr old cars, 23 yr old gas grill! Even my refrigerator is over 20 yr old. Older things just last if you take care of them and they don’t fill the landfills.

BTB, isn't it funny how we go through life trying to escape the prison of our society (e.g. being under the thumb of the corporate world/some boss), then we discover there's another slave-drive; we ourselves! We need to give ourselves the permission to become our authentic self (to live a natural life of who we are), otherwise you're still trapped in a false paradigm (seeking to please others etc, compromising who we are).

[@BeatTheBush]

Sometimes words of wisdom is understood only by those that are ready for it. "Live like true to yourself" pretty much says it in one go but really practicing it takes constant self reevaluation.

[@paulstone7655]

@@BeatTheBush Absolutely. It's really hard to do in practice with all the social pressure, conditioning, then ones own hang-ups etc. Personality shines so when people see it they are attracted to it (in its purest form). I had to come to this realisation when over-analysing the meaning of life - I wanted to see the bigger picture but was missing the smaller details (i.e. us, including me). Went full circle back to the here and now. Suddenly this advice came alive to me "Live loyally today-grow-and tomorrow will attend to itself.
