Jake while I'm a recent subscriber to your KZbin channel I follow ya since the steampunk days. I really enjoy your videos, so I'm very happy you will have more time for them now that you no longer slave away. 😉

Wow, I wasn't expecting my good fortune at finding your monitor repair video when i did brightened your day too. Glad i decided to post a thanks! Keep up the good work.

[@mattlewandowski73]

I am definitely looking forward to seeing what you do with the boat. My own retirement dream is to get a boat and sail around the world after my elderly father passes. Oh and for the record, I love the music you chose for your montage... it would be great for timelapse segments.

[@sheep1ewe]

I doo too, i allredy hawe a bout but it's basically only an empty hull at the moment.

Hi Jake. I just came across you when I googled to see whether it was possible to put real candles in an electric-wired chandelier, and was really impressed with your project & wanted to leave a comment on the page for you but couldn't (phaps because it went back to 2009). Loved reading about stuff you picked up from the dump - even down to old candles (waste not want not etc etc!). Thanks - given me much food for thought (and birthday present ideas for my hubby to consider for me! Ha ha!). Congrats on your retirement! Loved the boat - and loved your hat too! Good luck in your journey to get remonetised! :)

Thanks for the kind words!

Jake, hopefully by now you have gotten your monetization back. if not, i hope you get it back soon. i haven't been following your channel very actively for a while but to let you know, your steampunk stuff was the inspiration for a steampunk computer stand i built a while back and still use to this day.. i really dig your steampunk stuff. it's got a beauty and charm all its own. thanks man!!

[@JakevonSlatt]

Thanks for the kind words! Yes I did get the monetization back, it's not a lot but it helps!

[@joell439]

COOL - I've got some catching up to do. So glad to see you're back. Welcome to the world that retirement offers. This is gonna be awesome! 👍👍😎👍👍

[@JakevonSlatt]

[@onomatopoeidia]

Absolutely agree Jake on the great feeling one gets from helping other enthusiastic diy’ers and what a brilliant job you are doing. Just discovered your channel and loving it. Thank you

[@JakevonSlatt]

Thanks so much for the kind words!

[@SteampunkSteve]

[@JakevonSlatt]

Thanks! Love you skoolie channel!

[@SteampunkSteve]

Thanks for watching. I just bought some land in AZ and plan on building a shop to play with a few ideas

[@rumbletweed]

Yes looking forward!

Keep at em. Google was small once also. I can remember when they only had 10,000 servers. Well, motherboards and hard drives sitting on metal shelves insulated with rubber. They then went dark about the number of servers and became Racoon, er Alphabet.

[@JakevonSlatt]

Thanks! KZbin re-monitized me recently thanks to viewers like you!

[@codythorton7712]

kwel, Jake i always enjoy your channel

[@JakevonSlatt]

Thanks!

[@mideon13]

YAY!!! MORE AND BETTER!!!!!!!

[@DeepSouthExperience]

I have been contemplating coming back. This was discouraging. I am about to retire and my goal was to make some pocket money for gear. I still love the community, but the inspiration to monetize has slowly been dissolving over the years I have been absent working on a personal project. ATB - Stan

[@JakevonSlatt]

The good news is that I've been invited back into the KZbin Partners program, mostly due to the popularity of the 2 CNC Plasma Cutting videos and strangely, my Monkeyhut video! First month's revenue was about $35.00 and I'm hoping thta will grow in the coming year.

[@DeepSouthExperience]

@@JakevonSlatt Good deal. I have to re-grow my channel. I drop out to complete a degree at Univ Of Florida. Lost quite a bit of subs. About to retire from DOD. Never monetized. Was only thinking abut it because some pocket money would help[p to do some of the You Tube projects i would like to do. Looking forward to your future videos. ATB - Stan

[@bellowphone]

KZbin is not what it was. I never monetized my channel; like you, that's not why I make videos. Besides, in my case there would not be enough revenue to justify annoying my viewers with ads. But now, alas, youtube has retroactively slapped multiple ads on all of my videos. I don't make a dime on any of it, and the ads really make me unhappy. Modern times, mon.

[@JakevonSlatt]

Alas, it is the way of things in a capitalist society!

[@MrDavidriese]

Great retrospective!

[@JakevonSlatt]

Thank you!

[@SHOOTDASHIT1]

seems like you got it back..they took my monetization for nothing and kept my 9,000 dollars

[@JakevonSlatt]

Noted! Thanks!

[@MrDavidriese]

I've been missing your videos because KZbin stopped presenting them in my feed

You can never keep a true maker down.

[@JakevonSlatt]

Truth!

[@mattlewandowski73]

Did I see a Ham radio in the background???

[@JakevonSlatt]

Just a DENON receiver I fear, never quite caught that particular "bug" ;-)

Thank you
