[@ericbenson1610]

The first time I saw somene that looks like me in a shop like that , and it is pretty inspiring. There are very few tanned people interested in technical things, some when I come across one on KZbin, it is always special, thanks

[@blackvic5157]

Technical interest has for a long while been unusual among PoC, but lately that's changing. Black techs in particular seem to be drawn to robotics. I had a six week long running discussion, a forthright, frank, and earnest discussion, with my black boss about actuating an end effector for a pick and place arm. He disagreed that I could do the job with pneumatics, which I was determined to do because the components are cheap and compressed air readily available in any manufacturing environment. He also had his doubts about my true motivation, once saying to me, "You're like those steam engine guys, gonna save the world with steam power. Nicest guys you'd ever want to meet and they're all crackpots." In the end, I proved he was right. Out went my air cylinders, in came his stepper motors and linear actuators. In thirty years of engineering, I think I met maybe five black engineers, one of them a woman and one of them the only black boss I ever had. He was good, and she was good, but the other three, not so much. That's about the same good-to-bad ratio as white engineers. But the point is, blacks are 13% of the population and maybe 0.05% of the techs. Western Civ is a technological culture at root. To succeed, speaking in general terms for those without much athletic talent or abilities valued by the entertainment industry, PoC's gotta step up. This calls for a massive cultural paradigm shift and you know what? I think it is underway.

The clock is genious, Jeremy! I'm a roaming fella and often doing odd jobs in our for a place to pitch my tent and call home for a moment. Everybody is always throwing great, usable stuff out and I end up salvaging many things and parts. Which become gifts and bartering commodities on the road.

[@heavenlymachining5674]

In the early 1980s I made an old hand meat grinder powered by using a washing machine motor. We lived on a lot of venison back in those days and the old hand cranks wore you out. The motor had a start winding contactor that was worn out so I just put a push button switch ( the lid safety switch from the washer ) in place of the start contacts and mounted it externally, and then just pushed the button to get it started.

[@purity26]

@@JeremyFieldingSr In the case of the microwave motor, that looks like the ones in the modern top load washers with those synchronous motors on the actuators on those models, except those are 3 rpm, and the one you have is 6 rpm. It depends on what microwave has what type of synchronous motor for the turntable, such as 2.5, 3, 4, 4.8, 5, or 6 rpm. They also randomly change direction when you turn them on, and I'm sure the same is true for yours. For that reason, I made a mechanical tab that keeps mine from turning the wrong direction. When they bump into the tab, they reverse instead of stalling out.

[@MrBonney1990]

You amaze me Sir. A debilitating injury put me out of industrial work in 2010. Having “time on one’s hands “ is a phrase often used to convey the ability to live a life with plenty of time to pursue interests we hadn’t the time to pursue before. Which is great unless you’ve got that time AND the hands, lol! I’ve become fascinated with electricity, magnetism, etc. , after my son and I (he’s 12 now) discovered hobby grade R/C drones/ Rockcrawlers. This led to a few years of building many smaller vehicles, 1/27, 1/16, and we’ve built a 1/8 Axial Yeti using a brushless motor on 4S LiPo’s , that things a screamer! We’re converting an old Kettler Pedal Car, over to electric which has led to me finding your videos and I’m so glad I did!

When I was a kid, I lived with my great aunt & uncle. He took an old wringer washing machine motor, and built a kids motorized merry go round. Years later, I found some old Popular Mechanics books (hardcover) and it showed making it using an old wheel & axle, and the rim had angle steel bolted to the rim. They had dug a small hole in the yard and concreted it. They ran a big belt around the rim and pulley on the motor. The decking was marine plywood. There were patterns for use with an overhead projector, to make various animal seats. When my grandchild gets here from Armenia, I'm going to build him one.

[@davidhaywood9071]

Jeremy, I love all the gear toys and even more the manner in which you explain what you've done. I worked part-time at the local Woodcraft store in Richmond, Va. We had a customer who made complete grandfather clocks out of wood. I saw one of his creations and it was gorgeous. The reason for this posting is your gears in the clock. I didn't hear you give any details on making them. The customer discovered a unique method of hardening the wood he used in the gears by dissolving plexiglass in acetone and then soaking the gear in that solution. Once dry it made the gears extremely hard and durable so they would hold up to the contact in the clock. I don't know if this will be of any help or you may already be doing this. Thanks and keep up the great work. Many of us build vicariously through what you!

You, sir, are a wizard. I've been making mechanical stuff from "junk" people threw out my whole life, and really enjoy your approach and style. Your technical knowledge is most impressive as well. Thanks for everything you've posted.

There are smart people and there are creative people. But there are few smart AND creative people who can put it all together and do something with those two talents. You are one of them. I have worked around engineers and mechanics all my life and have seen so many engineers who would love to have the creative abilities that you have. It's a talent all by itself and I think people are just born with it. I loved this video and just subscribed to your channel.

Thank you and Welcome to the neighborhood!

[@retiredammo4617]

Great ingenuity! You remind me of my grandfather, he would reuse parts from other things as well. You made my day sir, thanks!

[@GTLee9]

Very impressive . Thank you for sharing your creations and ideas 💡

[@bmh2004]

Without a doubt, you’re a tinkerer, salvaging items other people discards and find useful item to work and build.

I came here from Smarter Every Day. I'm a lifelong scrounger but you are going to teach me so much! Between you and This Old Tony, I might be able to build some cool things without losing fingers or electrocuting myself.

Coolest video I've seen so far, so refreshing and different. Nice to see someone actually saving very good and often expensive parts in a throw away society, genius!😁 I wish I was your neighbor.😂

Dude I highly commend you for your awesome work/inventions, your work is great.....the gears you made will bring anyone back to a nice happy easy going state of mine. I can also see it being a good stress reliever. KEEP UP the great work and videos. Thank you.

I do a spring break camp for kids. It consists of old printers, safety glasses, and all the tools needed to take out all the fittings. They absolutely love it. The next step is to take their recovered parts and make stuff with Arduinos. keep up the good work sir.

[@jennoaks1934]

Oh my goodness, I LOVE the way your mind works! I've thought about turning my 25 + year washer into another gem, however never thought of using the parts like you've done here. I'm amazed! Thanks for the share!

Your clock is a master art love from Iraq 👍

[@JeremyFieldingSr]

Hi Jeremy, Thank you for all the great information you have given to all of us.😊 I watched a KZbin video from Paul’s Garage on how to make a potters wheel out of a washing machine, and am determined to make an extra lapidary LAP using the same ideas. I will try to use the attached motor also. Mine will be 18”, same as what I have now, so all my diamonds discs will be adaptable. Paul is a funny genius, and his ideas actually worked. A Covington 18” Lap is around $3500 plus shipping. So if I can build this for a few hundred dollars, (as some machining will probably be required) and have some Fun making it,, all the better! Mere Woman in St Paul 🎉

Hi Jeremy, I found your channel from watching Destin’s latest video, and really love what you’re doing here!! I used to take any and every electronic devices I could get my hands on and could never figure out what and how to use my parts that I accumulated and this video gave me inspiration to try and do things with my parts and also reminded me of my passion. Thank you :)

Initially, I was impressed, but by the end of the video, I am sure that you are a mechanical mastermind! I build small projects, but you have set the bar high with those wood gears. I could only dream of building a working clock of that magnitude. I work on cars so I always have an abundance of bearings and gears. I overlook the surplus of washing machine parts, but now I will tear into them! Thanks for relighting my mechanical fire.

[@JeremyFieldingSr]

+22KPAR1X Cyberdyne my job here is done! :)

[@stanpski5442]

I don't think many people can inspire you. But you can inspire many. I just loved that.

[@klumpytheklown3798]
