Oh yeah, Jer is back! Really nice cyclone. Looking forward to the blower video

[@leobrent7926]

SHHHHH!!! Shut up dude! Jeremy is like a baby deer or a butterfly, if he knows you see him, you’ll scare him away. You have to let him come to you lol

[@DigitalGus75]

Marius! My two favourite makers Marius and Jer in the same place, one night only!!

[@haroldchoate7497]

It’s great to see Marius’ comment on Jer’s work. I was thinking as I watched how these 2 young men are so very much alike in their dedication to quality and perfection in their work. Thank you both.

Jer, I know you don't post often, so it's always a nice surprise to see a new video from you. Your projects are always so well thought out, and I appreciate the thought and effort that go into sharing them with all of us. Cheers. JB

You have been missed. Very much. For you are one of the great DIY'rs on KZbin. And we love what ever you do. kind Sir. Welcome back.

Great project. So good to see you posting again! 👌

[@jimru5574]

Jeremy, it’s great to see you posting content again, and sharing your skills with us all. My sons and I think of you every time we use our 2” x 72” belt grinder: which we built together, using your superb plans.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thank you!

[@dtnicholls1]

In answer to the sealant question, automotive seam sealer. This sort of application is exactly what it's designed to do. Also, if you use a hammer to relieve the bending stresses as you form the sheet metal you'll have an easier time of it as you progress around the form. In any case, fantastic work as always. Good to see you post again.

[@sharpasadullknife]

Glad to see you still making content!

[@louisfkoorts5590]

No questions, I just have to say it is so good to see you "in action". 👋🏻🌿

[@liambohl]

Watching you create precise, robust tools has always been a joy. I'm so glad you have a shop again!

[@2HME]

Like everyone else, I’m glad to see you back, you know it seems every time I watch a Mathias video you’d come to mind. Hope all is well.

[@EyeOnTheTV]

1:05 - yeah I fell for it. You earned yourself a thumbs up. Very glad to see this vid. Looking forward to more build videos!

Very happy to see you posting again. In my opinion you are one of the most talented ones on YT regarding craftsmanship, production, and content. Hope to see more in the future. No pressure though.

[@hullinstruments]

So glad to see an update from you! I hope you are doing well I revisit several of your videos regularly. Like every month or so. Many of them are wonderful I just watched your ruler sheath video two nights ago.. Such a great example of prototyping and troubleshooting through multiple iterations until finding a perfect design that works for you. You’re a real inspiration to guys like me. I’m a little bit older than you but I’ve spent a lot of time teaching younger folks everything from woodworking to blacksmithing and machining. you’re a real inspiration to younger folks, (and older folks for that matter) and your work is always top notch.

[@rcbax434]

I watch them too!

[@jandrewmore]

Really amazing to see somebody building Penz's design by hand. I thought about it long and hard, but I don't have your welding skills, so kudos for you for taking this on, and for sharing with the rest of us.

[@yummboy2]

Always a pleasure to watch you work, Jer. I kept thinking, "He should have a slip roll." Then I could easily imagine bending and forming the sheet metal in whatever ways I could come up with. I am eager to see the continuation. Well done!

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thanks! A slip roll would be nice, but I kinda like finding ways to make things without the “right” tool.

[@jeronimomurruni]

It makes me so happy to see you again man you have no idea how.

[@muzikblitz]

I've thought many times I'd like to see you do a colab with Matthias and then you mentioned him. That was one step in the right direction. Let's make this happen. Keep up the great work, by the way.

[@palmermoynihanvault2780]

I am so glad to see you back making things like this again.....and better yet, bringing us all along for the ride....thanks for inspiring me to make one of your 2 x 72 grinders....I've long recognized your genius. Palmer Moynihan

[@Blueridgedog]

I have enjoyed your work. I am sorry to hear that some of the items you had from the past are no longer with you, but you can build more. I hope you have found a path and a place that makes you happy.

[@davidcaverly9659]

Hurray! New content! So glad to see you back making videos! As a side note, Ron Covell has great videos for sheet metal fabrication. In the "F-Bomb" series he shows techniques for simple ways of calculating spring back and then creating smaller templates so the metal "rests" back to intended dimensions. Probably too late for this project, but good info for future projects. Definitely worth checking out.

[@louisfkoorts5590]

I don't know Ron Covell. But on KZbin, he appears to be The sinonym of proper INTEGRITY. ✨

[@rok4220]

So glad to have you back and making!

[@markjones4364]

You have crazy good skills. A tip on cutting thin metal with a jig saw I learned while building a Teardrop camper is to place the metal on a sheet of 2" foam board. It will support the metal and allow to cut into the foam board.

Seeing you back here MADE MY DAY! Great project, can't wait for part two. I used to design high speed packing equipment, and if there is one thing I can see and love in your work, it is the ability to overcome issues and to do it in a way that uses two things that seem to be sorely missing in todays world - common sense and creativity. The touch of genius is the icing on the cake. Welcome back!

Nice to see you again. I like your perfectionism and this dust collectors at all, Marius Hornberger build one too. My shop is way to small für such a huge system, but one day, in the future, maybe I am able to build one too. Same with your beltgrinder, no space in the shop, I am looking in the future....

Hooolly bonkers that's a big boy. I thought it was maybe 40 cm tall. :)) You can unroll stuff in sketchup using the Flattery extension. I use it whenever i try to make a pepakura model to visualize some stuff better but don't want to 3d print it. Very good extension, highly recommended.

a CNC router can become a CNC plotter, to help you draw those weird curves onto flat stuff. I've absolutely chucked a magic marker into a router with the actual router spinny bit unplugged. Sharpies do not like being spun at 20k and yes you can ask me how I know.
