First Beau sorting his screws, now Van teaching me about the application. In just a week I just about know everything about screws, thanks!

Dont get me wrong, the 4th turning was great but I would rather hear about screws than the deteriorating world.

Love the concept of "things you could/should/wished you learned younger in life/at school. Love these explainers, it's amazing how many things you can pickup, even in a topic you thought you were pretty well versed in. Thanks from a PATREON sub!

[daverizz]

I am always amazed, when Van can rivet me to, for example, an 11 minute video about screws. 🤘🐵🤘

There's really something so special about watching Van's videos. It truly feels like a weird mix between youtube and cinema. I think it's closer to cinema.

Of course, I'm ignoring the sponsorship at the beginning because that's not what the video is about.
I think it has got something to do with the story telling, it's so hypnotizing. The close-ups, self made props, the way everything is displayed in front of the camera makes the video so captivating!

Also, I dont know how the hell he always finds the the right music for his videos but, it always marries to the atmosphere perfectly.

Everytime I watch him, I learn/discover something.
Maybe he is the Tom Sachs of ours?

I hope you had as much fun making this as we did watching this.

[Ianwilgausart]

So glad to see you back! Your channel has really inspired me to create my own content so really appreciate the insight you give.

NICE EDIT @ 4:52 BTW! This is a great "basic" video for something so ubiquitous as screws. Thanks Van!

[drwisniewski]

Wow - thank you indeed Alexander Palacios!

[BrandonHinojosa]

This was beautiful, thank you for your contribution Van. Much love

[SebastianStewart]

Hey @vanneistat, great video! Just a heads up - the numbering convention for the sheet metal screws is the same as the machine screw sizes. #0 is .060" diameter, and every +1 in the size adds .013" to the diameter. Ex: #2 is 0.086", #4 is 0.112", #6 is 0.138" ....

[Flharley]

Props to the gentleman who sent you the screw idea, this was a great video and informative! Love you’re style of videos/story telling

[BuffaloWill]

I have actually been waiting for the day when Van makes a video about screws and I am 100% here for it.👏💥🐐💥👏

[fabianmaja]

You know most of this I already knew but Van's videos are about the only ones on Youtube I watch purely for the enjoyment of the video itself. There is so much love and art in these videos and it makes me feel so warm and part of something special every time.

[UDoIt]

Incredible video Van! I'm sure someone told you Phillips created an updated version of their bits called BIT-LOK where the drive bit locks into the head of the Phillips screw fastener. - John

[RobertMarlie]

Thanks to you both for the info and ideas

[DrewWillson]

It's inspiring watching you grow in your execution of these ideas- the filming and editing quality of this one was top notch Van!

[debbiesaviano]

Checking this out after Chris Brogan shared in his newsletter. Who knew there was so much to know / learn about screws. Fascinating to say the least 👍🏼🤗

[bauerma]

I needed this video when I was 25 years old

[sarah-janegalipo]

Great video. I love when I learn more about tools
