Mechanical drawing is a super handy skill for discussing the shape of physical objects. This video covers 2D projection, multi view drawing, linear dimensioning & tolerancing, and alternate views.

Hey everyone, I'm seeing that lots of traffic for this video is coming from work training websites and university websites. Please let me know if your teacher sent you here! I can't believe I'm teaching the next generation of engineers!

This isn't just a guide on how to do mechanical drawing it's a demonstration of how to make an excellent video

[priken]

I'm about to study mechanical engineering and I found this video to be very helpful, keep up the good work

[StripeyType]

It is entirely unclear to me how or when I learned mechanical drawing, but this is a *great* video and confirms that I've got a solid (!PUN!) understanding.
Because I have no idea how I learned this, this video seems like a great way to teach folks!

This is bringing back flashbacks of my Mechanical Drawing days. (Where second years had T-Squares strapped to their backpacks in the 80’s).

I learned Front View, Side View and Top View. Those sequences will be forever etched in my brain. (I guess the Top View here - which he omitted- would simply have been just a square box). But I guess the top view might be superfluous in this example, because it is so simple.

I'm not even studying engineering but this video was really fun and helpful for my personal projects, thanks!

[ashtonpowell]

I'm gonna be going into mechanical engineering and this video helped a lot and gave me a better view on the subject and how it works. Thank you.

Top notch video. Clear and informative, lots of good information here. (Source: 20+ year draftsman)

A great video, helps to put in perspective of various processess. When using a 3d CAD software, I never knew the problem associated with over-constrainig of dimensions, even though the sofware prompts to correct it. Now, it makes sense when thinking in terms of tolerances that can associate with these dimensions, and the ambiguity that a machinist may face, when reading the drawing. Thank you for a great content!

Work in the digitalization industry and 3D model and this is a terrific clear basis to understand blueprint projections and relations. Keep the good stuff!

Great video, I like the way you used one drawing to walk the student through the topic. It makes it much easier to understand and gives it a context.

[dragoonmike]

Fantastic. Learned something completely new.

The "HUSSLAAHH" technique got me a promotion & my manager cried because he felt inadequate.

This is so awesome!! Thanks for making this! I have a design background in fashion and I'm currently an Assistant Technical Designer but I never realized how much my position relates to engineering (but for garments instead). It's really cool seeing how detailed views affect the end product. Watching this video was so helpful and it DEFINITELY helped me to see how my CADs can be improved and how overconstraining can lead to miscommunication.

Love the video, the energy is awesome, I am an 11th grader who just found out the meaning of this, and I have been doing technical drawing for 5 years now

[raihanz]

I Thank you for this, really am. I'm studying my first year of mechanical engineering, so glad I found this. I can say you made such a clear teaching, all the best for you!. Best regards

[vanguardcycle]

Clear, concise, full of extremely useful information.

[nestormangandi]

amazing video, very professional I wish I had this kind of help when I was in school.
Thank you for taking some of your precious time to help and share your knowledge to make others better.

Loved this video, the thing a lot of videos out there are missing is "know your lines", was trying to get refreshed on reading blueprints and this one helped me most. Well done, and keep up the good work. loved the quick quiz at the end.

im studying mechanical engineering in china in chinese n i dont really understand some of the things my professor says bcz my chinese is not so good yet, sooo this video helped me loads esp the sectioning part, i appreciate...you are just the best
