YouTube ADventures, Gifts from Friends

Just an update as to where we're at on our end here, with the slow progress on the new shop, dealing with the KZbin Partner Program, and some packages that have come in the mail.
Sorry, no machining in this one, just talking, but I just wanted to publicly say thanks for what has been shared with me.
As always, thanks for watching!

Hi Everett, you did the right thing by signing up to Partners Program as you will at least have some control over the number of ads that appear. Yes, you can go into monetization settings and remove mid roll ads and also control how many, what type of ads appear. Any revenue is also handy as an aid to supporting the channel. I hope it all goes well. Cheers Rob

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks Rob, although I primarily joined to just share as part of the group it just seems like this is what I have to do at this point to maintain some direction over what happens with the channel, like you say. And, to be honest, if they're going to roll ads anyway, at least part of it can help the shop keep going. Once it's built up again, that is, lol!

[@RickRose]

That shaper tool from Rustinox is a treasure--good on him for sending that to you! Enjoy your time with the little ones.

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Yeah, that one is a special one for me. I have a tool kit specifically for the shaper and it has its own corner as it was a gift from him. He truly is a remarkably kind man.

[@donaldnaymon3270]

Great video update. Looking forward to your videos. Great gifts Thank you for sharing.

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks Donald, this is about what I can share for now given the current shop/life situation but hopefully once we get a bit caught up on the house some shop play time can happen again.

[@sharkrivermachine]

Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to seeing the new shop come together.

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks Steve, hopefully can get at it sooner rather than later!

[@davescreations7793]

Thank you very much for sharing and letting us know what is happening can’t wait to see the shop all done and you up and running

Thanks Dave, I'm just playing the waiting game here, hoping the permits come sooner rather than later!

[@swanvalleymachineshop]

Hi Mate , i am hearing you with regards to the adds & YT recent policy . Hopefully my channel will fly under the radar for as long as possible before i get nailed ! That's a great toolholder from Rusty . Cheers .

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks Max, just had to make a decision before YT and the IRS made one for me, lol. Guess it's all just part of playing in a borrowed sand box. And yes, I very much appreciate the gift from Rustinox, hopefully I can put it to good use sooner rather than later.

[@oby-1607]

Being a Stay-At-Home Dad is one of the best things that anyone can do for their kids. I never apologized to anyone for wanting to spend time with my kids. Kenworth-The Worlds Best and I am lucky enough to own two. The gifts sent to you are a little appreciation for what you share with us.

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks, it's not like I am not willing to work for a living but in our household we work together and this is just where we need to be at this time work wise. I was only working on heavy trucks for a year and a half but definitely prefer the Paccar-based chassis (Pete, KW) over most of the others.

[@ActiveAtom]

Hi dad of two, very nice update Everett and congratulations on your (new to you guys) home. Well shared. Lance & Patrick.

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks Lance, thanks Patrick! It's all a work in progress, both the shop and the family. Can't say as I claim to be an expert in either, lol!

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

Thanks for the channel plug Everett. I still remember the last time I moved and that was decades ago, no fun. I for one am looking forward to more of your great videos and more Everett made tools.

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks Harold, should be able to put the tool video up either later today or tomorrow. And I appreciate the compliment, it means a lot coming from you!

[@donmittlestaedt1117]

Thanks for reaching out. Missed you.

Thanks Don, I appreciate that. Will just be adding stuff as I can, it just all takes time.

The advertising ship has sailed. We expect to see ads on everything, and nobody thinks less of creators because of ads. It's the game as she's played. Congratulations on the decision to devote yourself to full-time parenting. It's incredibly hard work, and even harder because people don't know how challenging it is. It's a gift to your kids you'll never regret.

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks Rod, a lot of people don't quite get it when I say I'm a stay at home dad, but there are many things of other people's lives that I can't say I would truly understand either. We just want the best for our kids and this is how we're trying to make that happen. As for the ads, well, it just is what it is, and at least this way I can still have a say in how the program runs on my channel versus having no control whatsoever.

[@AWDJRforYouTube]

A lot of great info, and updates Everett, and thanks for subscribing to my channel [HINT HINT to others] cheers👍👍👍

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Lol, thanks Al, been meaning to sub for a while but had a lot on the go lately. Hopefully I can get started on a simple fab project that requires welding in the next few weeks here, depending on garage build permits.

[@bostedtap8399]

Like the thumbnail Everett, yes YT has become a monster, a corporate monster, stipulating ads, means that they want more viewers paying premium membership. Nice tool donations, love the shaper tool holder Rustinox! Having a box full of tools, but non of them work on kids!!!!. Thanks for sharing and stay Safe all.

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks, it's just how the sands in the sand box have shifted and what appears to be the most prudent direction to take the channel to maintain some semblance of influence in how it functions. I can understand the need to keep the lights on and the servers powered, especially with the rising cost of electricity and computer hardware but admit it was a bit inconvenient for timing. Very thankful for the shaper tool from Rustinox, as well as Matty's hat and Gene's tapping tool, for sure.

[@jamesbruley2843]

How does the premium membership affect fees paid to creators? Absolutely agree with you about YT.

[@bostedtap8399]

@@EverettsWorkshop Hi Everett, Valid points, I take back some of what I said about YT, it's a difficult business model, the majority of uploaders have purchased equipment, and editing software to create something that want to share, so also paying a subscription for example would be off putting. Others range from pure Money vlogs, to others being sponsored, so a subscription is a business expense. Not sure what the solution is though 😅

We really appreciate the show that Harold and you guys and gal are doing on Sunday afternoon it’s a gas

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks Doug, but I have to give all the credit to Harold. It was his idea and he brought it all together. I've enjoyed being part of it when I can, he's got a number of people he would like to have on for sharing ideas.

[@Conno9220]

Hey Everett, thanks for finding my stickers on your desk! :) My video that I just posted had your sticker in it. So, good timing. Almost as if we planned it. I’d did forget to mention putting your link in the description (and for that matter putting said link in description). Can’t fix the video, but I did add the link. I’m a bit new to the sticker swapping stuff. I’ll do better next time!

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Lol, no worries man, as it is I re-filmed the last part of the video because I found that envelope as I was cleaning up. So, set back up and redid the ending portion. Just the mild chaos that is my daily life lately, lol. Will be catching your new episode probably later today after the yard work is done and kids are in bed. As for the stickers, it is a lot of fun getting letters from like minded people from all over the world, I still get a thrill out of them from both other creators and viewers.

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

I resisted as long as I could too. The notification came out back in November if I remember that they were going to put ads on everyone's channels if they wanted to. I bit the bullet and signed up in December. I have mine set for no ads during the videos. Hopefully staying at home now you can get an hour or two in here and there and make progress on the garage shop.

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Yeah, I'll see where this goes, biggest thing was not wanting to annoy people too much, but if they're going to start inserting ads anyway at least this way I can maintain some level of influence on how and who as far as ads go. We'll see about the shop paperwork, sadly you know all too well about the waiting game . . .

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

@@EverettsWorkshop Totally agree. As for shop progress yes I know all too well LOL.

[@gareththomson4080]

Ads or not, I’ll still happily watch your content. Keep up the good work!

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks Gareth, I'm hoping to maintain some semblance of control over what appears by not just letting it go to defaults.

[@charlescompton4495]

Hey Everett, You made me remember when our two were that age. The 5 year old most likely has a lot of energy and the 1 year old will too, soon! Then you really will be wore out at night. I have wanted to send some pictures of a little of the masonry work my son and I had done over the years but don't have a scanner. I think my son may have one and if so maybe I'll email some. I know it's not machining but we used some machines. Keep up the good work at home and it will pay off in the end. Greg

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Yeah, my son is almost 4 and my daughter is just over 1, she's almost walking now too. Barrel of monkeys, for sure! Would be cool to see the masonry work that you've done, I don't know more than the basics so I have an appreciation for well-done brick and stone work.

[@TheMiniMachineShop]

Hi Everett, In the beginning I to didn't want ads but people kept telling me to do it, they didn't mind, so I did but still refuse to have an ad in the middle of my videos just the beginning and you can click to skip them.

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Hey Dave, that's kind of the model I'm leaning toward as well. At least by actually registering for them I can have a bit of say as to when and who rather than just letting it default.

[@Just1GuyMetalworks]

Ha! I totally thought you grabbed the garage door panels from the old house when I tuned in 🤣.

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Lol, well, the new owners would probably have had a word with me if I gnawed the panel out with a sawzall, so I figured this was a better way to do it :P

[@bulletproofpepper2]

Not sweat it Everett, we all have it adjust to the bosses. You in a large corporation, you just work from home. I enjoy your work a hope you all the best!!! Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks Sam, the shop has sadly not progressed very quickly here, but I'm hoping to get some time soon to actually work on it.

[@howder1951]

Nice little heart to heart Everett, and such is the way with corporations, they try to make cash from everything. Like TV, we got hooked on free, paid by ad TV, and over the years it has been manipulated into a money generator. Anyhow, good luck with all your present endeavours and cheers buddy!

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks Howie! I guess that's what the point of being in business is, especially from a big media company standpoint. I am playing in their sand box and they need to keep the lights on and the servers powered. Both power and computer hardware is getting pricier so they have to generate revenue where they can. I'll never get rich off of it, and it will be a learning curve with the CRA for 2021, but this seems to be the best route for the channel at this point.

[@robertoswalt319]

Congratulations on the new house. It can be really stressful especially with little ones needing attention. I hope that you all get settled in quickly and that the process goes smothly.

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks Robert, it's slowly coming. Almost all the boxes in the house are dealt with, now it's spring yard work and hopefully getting at the garage.

Thanks for the catch up Everett , hope you're up and running soon, thanks for the links to other you tubers , would never have found them otherwise.

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks Jean, this is partly why we share and trade channel stuff. It is hard to get noticed in the ocean of KZbin when your channel is a little minnow like most of our hobbyist channels are so in the interest of sharing and having a growing community it is not only fun to get stuff from all over the world but to share what each other is up to.

[@MaturePatriot]

Hey Everett. That's why I live where I do, we have no zoning in my area. I, like you, never intended my small channel to be a money maker. I agree, if KZbin is gonna make money on your channel, you might as well profit from it. I love the hat. I have a Procunier tapping head, that I got cheap. 'Rusty' is a good one. Love his channel. Great video.

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks for the kind words Vern, I appreciate them coming from you. And I totally agree, Rustinox is a gentleman and a scholar!

[@AaronEngineering]

G’day Everett. Boy that tapping head is a real beast. Can’t wait to see you put it in to action. Mate, looking after young children is a massive task. So happy mine are grown (29, 27, 25). Now it’s the grandkids wearing me out 🤦‍♂️. I agree with the KZbin monitization. I pay for KZbin so adds don’t worry me. My DCT channel is monitized, but this one isn’t. I don’t do Patreon or Paypal as it feels like begging (to me, my personal opinion only). Thanks for sharing mate. Cheers 🍻. Aaron

[@EverettsWorkshop]

I held off as long as I could but they forced the ad issue recently so I got registered for the YPP. At least this way I can have control over ad activity on the channel. If I don't put anything on then they will likely fill them with ads by default. Not going to to Patreon either as once people have a subscription or it's a sponsorship thing then there is a pressure to produce often and regularly. I can't promise that at this point in my life so best not signed up for that.

[@robertharper8776]

Good idea Everett using foam board for decals or you could get a cheep large picture frame and place them with out removing the backing . Also hope you find everything after moving . Question i would like to have a channel soon is it worth it and would you do it all over again . Thanks for the new channels .

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks! As for would I do it over again? Definitely. I have gotten to meet and visit with people from around the world, and it's been a lot of fun to be able to actually contribute something even if it is small and from an amateur machinist perspective. By all means, share what experiences and ideas you have, we all learn from each other, and even though KZbin has its quirks, it still has a lot going for it.

[@monsterg4603]

Respect your thoughts on ads. I can’t be asked to watch the other you tubers anymore. It’s only going to get worse. They have been pushing this over a long time. Just more time to spend in my own shop.

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks, I'll try to keep it within reason, at least if I allow a few in controlled areas and times hopefully it can be less annoying than if the ads were given free reign

[@andyZ3500s]

Thanks for the heads up on what is going on. I've been thinking about getting YT premium for awhile, probably will now. What I don't like is this is probably what they are trying to achieve. See you when you are settled.

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks Andy, I can see why they need to have a stable income projection to keep the lights on and the servers humming, I just need to adjust to the new system. Haven't tried premium but then I don't use Netflix as much as I thought I would either.

[@andyZ3500s]

Hi Everett, I already made a comment but I have a question. We have the option to erase a advertisement after a few seconds. If we skip part of the ad do you still receive income from it? I usually watch the ads at the beginning and skip the ones in the middle. Just wondering how they have it set up.

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Honestly, I have no idea . . . This is all new to me and I'll have to figure it out as I go. It will be interesting to see how it all works.

[@clydedecker765]

Hope your permit process is actually progressing to getting some work getting the shop done SOON. Yes, the "old" videos are great but ... Stay at home dad??? You aren't working at the Truck garage?

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks Clyde, they called the other day to collect the processing fees, but then said that it can be another 28 business days . . . So, just getting spring yard work done instead. And yes, I have come home again to be with the kids, as my wife has gone back to her job. We take turns as necessary while the kids are little, one of us is working and the other is home with them.

[@Stefan_Boerjesson]

During the last past time, month, or months, the ads have been increased from being one to being two ads. Unknown videos showing that 10 - 20 ads will come are stopped and dumped. The charge, by YT, is some 9.95 USD per month I think. No way I pay that.

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Yeah, I hear you - this is why I actually signed up for the monetization, so that I can at least have some influence on the how and who as far as ads are concerned. If I try shutting them off, they'll likely slide them in anyway. At least if they can be kept reasonable then hopefully it can minimize the annoyance and people like yourself aren't turned off of the channel.

I've never actually used an ad blocker, but if others are I don't blame them.
