Ever notice how people that build their own stuff, appreciate things more than those that just buy stuff. With that said, I appreciate your videos. Thanks for keeping us inspired.
I used to do apartment maintenance for about 10 years and would always find vacuums. One thing I always salvaged from them was the automatic cord reels if it had it. Then you turn them into shop extension cord reels by switching the plug.
I like it.
awesome videos. not many teachers have the gift of explaining complex systems so anyone paying attention can understand without being talked down to!
I salvaged 4 small dc motors from a printer and made some massage tools for the girlfriend
A lot of things are thrown away, because their primary function doesn't work.
But then they have components inside that still work.
That was beautifully put.
I have been in the vacuum industry for ten years. If I may, I'd like to offer a few tips on the vacuum motors. Clean air motors, like the one you took out of the bissell, cool themselves by having a ducted exhaust. That directs all the air from the fan across the motor to cool it. There is a good shot of the duct @ 1:04 in your video. Having the motor in an open cradle just lets the exhaust air from the fan go anywhere and not across the motor. Mounting the motor inside a box with some scrap blocks of wood cut to 45 degrees (to give a semi-round air path) and a 1" to 2" hole on one side should yield proper cooling. That being said 10 to 12 amp vac motors normally run at about 120 to 150 deg. fahrenheit. If you make the box a bit oversized, and then glue and staple any cheap carpet padding to the inside, it will quiet the motor down a good bit. Adding a piece of chicken wire or hardware cloth with some thin cloth (old tee-shirt or sock) or the foam from the vacuum itself if it has the washable style filter to the fan side of the motor will prevent sawdust or other debris from getting sucked into the motor.
Sorry for the long-winded comment but I hope this helps.
These are great ideas. Thanks
Dude he covered your whole spiel in the video didn't you watch the video before commenting?
I did watch the video, and the annotation @ the 8:30 mark was not there when I made the comment. If it was, I am in error or might have looked away for some reason or another at that time. We would have to ask the gentleman who uploaded the video if it was there or not.
Ok but he talked about your issues as well one cant change that in a video....
Yes, he did also mention the noise factor and using half of the vacuum's motor housing to make a base for the it. All I was trying to do was give some advice on those subjects so that he, or anyone else, can get the most out of the vacuum motors.
"I'm not an expert" ...no, you're a freakin Genius! I've been taking motors out of things for over 30 years since I was 6 years old and I always had lots of motors to play with but I never had the know how to work them into anything else so they'd just sit and collect dust.
Lol you're hilarious. I've been doing what he does, since 1985, changing motors in appliances, fixtures for better efficiency, and also repurposing them for other things.
He's a smart and inspiring especially since he can make and edit TH-cam videos much. better than I can. But one should be careful with the word Genius , as I'm quite sure even he will tell you, he's not Albert Einsten , or Loggie Baird, or Nikola Tesla , those people were geniuses. If you go around calling regular folks genius , then you have to come up with another word for actual geniuses lmao This guy , he is awesome and inspirational! Thumbs up and subbed,
Dude that is straight up motor abuse. Come on man motors are made to run. not end up as a paper weight. And with youtube and the www everything is at your fingertips. so go make stuff
“Not an expert”. With access to the right parts your Iron Man
Wish we had utube 30yrs ago, my wee mind is bursting with all this free info , thank you mate, I’m on the journey now 😊
Every few years I have a new project and without intention I always come across one of your videos. Your a fantastic teacher and your videos have so many uses
I see usually a vacuum every week or two on the side of the road; thanks for sharing your experiences and ideas!
Exactly,... once you start paying attention, you see them everywhere. In the last 6 months I have picked up five just in my neighborhood. We aren't taking about dumpster diving. They are often standing up right beside the mail box, along with washing machines, and dryers.
Jeremy you are a dying breed of outstanding men who can "fix it". Kudos to you brother, awesome informative videos.
How can you give this guy a thumbs down ? Look what he's doing with his creativity. Must just be envy and selfloathing.
Awesome stuff !
This is real recycling. Thank you for spreading the word that people should be recycling more stuff instead of throwing everything out
Great work Jeremy. I love seeing people reusing things like this. Things that are really pieces of modern technology people just throw away like they have no value or further use. And with the internet - if you want to learn how something works, the information is just a few clicks away. It’s a fun time to be alive if you like making things.
I greatly enjoy the re-purposing of those basic household objects. Literally using it, until you can't. Especially just sharing what you know, and or found out! Keep it up!
👍
Great example of practical engineering and intelligent reuse of old, discarded materials and parts. We don't give people enough credit for this, you are solving your own problem at the same time reducing the waste stream.
My kind of guy. Makes cool stuff with brains and resourcefulness, without having to shell out lots of money.
You are one talented reverse engineer, scrap and parts collector, and inventor.
I could agree with that, except I heard no mention of a electronics or electrical engineering degree. What he should build is a 3d printer with some stepper motors! I'm sure though diy kits aee available, however to use larger motors for. Larger , faster machine , with logic board from Kit ???
@@kjaxky there’s no we he isn’t an engineer. Go watch his other videos it’s akin to a tenured physics professor.
you have inspired me. I fix washing machines and dryers for disabled/special needs houses. you have helped me learn. wish I could meet you in person one day. you are super smart
Good job getting stuff that nobody wants and making stuff out of it You're the king
👏👏👏👏👏👏 Jeremy !!!! NO BS..... I think I learned more from YOU in 11 minutes than I have in the last 11 years !! 😂😂😂😂😂😂. YOU .... ARE ONE Smart cat man !! Thanks So MUCH JF 👍👍👍👍✌️✌️!!!!
Had I known about these possibilities, I would now have a garage full of salvaged washing machines, vacuum cleaners and the rest. Not that I do not have a garage full of stuff that I've already saved, but you get the point! In this age of the throw away and buy more, I really appreciate your dedication to creativity! Nice work, Sir!
I never thought twice about salvaging old motors and reusing then the way you do. You have come up with many different ways of making actual useful tools! I sure would have loved to have seen something like this when I was younger. You sir have some great talent! Exceptional problem solving skills! Keep it up!!
Thanks for showing me that I am not the only person who picks up discarded stuff on the side of the road and hauls it home to be repaired or repurposed. Last summer I picked up a 10' x 10' canopy tent, like tailgaters use at football games, that took 3 minutes to fix and which for the past year has been providing a portable covered area for working on cars, etc. in my back driveway. Picked up a child's battery-powered car the other day, the kind that kids sit in and drive; only problem was a broken rivet in the steering mechanism (like a cheap tie rod end that failed) and in a couple of minutes drilled out both the broken rivet and the other rivet and will replace with bolts, washers and Nyloc-nuts for a permanent fix to the steering system. It was such a simple repair that I will offer it back to the neighbors to see if their kids still want it; if they don't, I'll ask if they still have the charger, which was not on the street with the electric car.
Question: Since most of today's consumer stuff is made out of plastic of one kind or another, what glues, adhesives or epoxies do you use to glue broken plastic pieces back together, or to rebuild broken pieces of plastic that are essential to the operation of a device, like smashed plastic covers, broken water reservoirs or dust containers, or missing clips or tabs that hold in a vacuum cleaner motor or an axle on a toy car?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and making these videos.
What i like most is being able to admire a black man because of his talents and obvious expertise .
+Jeremy fielding I just foundout my wife is having twin girls so I subscribed to your channel as I see myself hiding in the garage a lot more in the near future
How are your twin girls doing 3 years later ? Are you hiding in the garage like you thought you would be haha? I didnt have twins nor girls but 2 sons and I'm here to tell you there is NO hiding from them and nothing is off limits to them hahaha .... What is theirs is theirs and what is yours is theirs and you can bet theyre going to break it , lose it or leave it in the grass for you to hit with the mower haha .... Maybe aggravating at times and very expensive but children are a blessing from God and they're more important than any of the things we try to do to hide from them haha ... Took me a while to figure that out ... Well I hope all us well with you and yours .. Be blessed in Jesus Christ's name ...
Right , i got twin girls that are 4 now and they do this kind of stuff with me
I hope you’re not hiding in the garage from them! So much better to hide in the garage _with_ them!!!! Teach them which end of a wrench to use. Teach them how to fix their horses (what is it with girls & horses, BTW?) Before long you should learn that if you're spending time with the kids, you're not getting yelled at as much, and - especially if they're in the garage with you - you get more unhindered garage time!
There's other things you'd better be doing, too, like reminding them that their mother loves them very much and they need too kiss here goodnight (win-win-win moment!) and telling them they have inner beauty.
There's more, but this is a start.
Best wishes!
Now that is a smart resourceful man, awesome.
This is what our country needs now sir, innovators... hats off to you and your talents!!!
I would love to meet you in real life. I enjoy watching all of your videos. You are 100% my kind of people. I’ve taken apart. Vacuum cleaners, TVs, microwaves, washer machines, and I to keep miscellaneous parts of steel rods in the shop. I love how humble you are and value family time. Keep it up!
just randomly came across your channel and subscribed within seconds of watching the first video.
you sir are a genius!
The treadmill motors (DC) make great wind turbine generators, and with a speed controller work great for drill press. lathe, and other machine tools.
dalmatiangirl61 I had thought about the generator but not the others, that's man lol
dalmatiangirl61 I was looking to see if a vacuum cleaner motor is good to run a small taig lathe. Is it not strong enough compared to a treadmill motor?
Thanks to you, I will now add vacuum cleaners to the list of things I'll Dumpster dive for! You, Sir, are my HERO!
Jeremy, when the zombie apocalypse hits, you are the guy we all want to have on our team! I wish everyone could have the opportunity to see and learn from your ingenuity and enthusiasm. Thanks!
A lot of views but very little likes smh guys come on if you take the time to watch this take the time to at least like the guys video. He did not have to tape this but he did so 👍 hit it
New Generation you tube has been jacking with likes and dislikes. cnn has a thing where o ly one in 1000 dislikes are recorded....at first it was thought to be one in 100 but testing proved to be one in 1000...OR MORE....SO BE REALLY REALLY WARY OF WHAT YOU BELIEVE THESE DAYS OF SOCIAL ENGINEERING.
Sislertx that would not surprise me at all
Sislertx that is shocking and oddly believable
genius pure genius jeremy, you are the dean of recycling
You're the king of improvision Mr. Fielding!
For so, so many years on my life I wanted to have a cyclonic vacuum separator!! "Always thought that I didn't want to go through the misery of making the funnel!! but you have provided a simple, cheap and easy way to get a hold of one of those" Thank you very much..
Very cool! Now I'm bummed that I just threw out an old vacuum. I never thought that the motors in them were really powerful enough to bother with, lesson learned. Thanks!
Janet McPhail yup they usually max out the 15 amp limit on wall plugs... pretty dang powerful
I like the way you think, Jeremy. Another source for interesting parts is the "gate operator" for the big vehicle gates you see at gated neighborhoods or secure storage places. Motors, gear boxes, drive chains and associated control circuitry.
You are far more intelligent than the average man. Keep up the good work.
Mr Fielding, you are a man after my own heart, but so much better at it than I. Nothing leaves my home without being pillaged for parts. Long suffering wife vital!!! Live long and prosper👍🍻
fantastic videos! I will show them to my students, too! you are amazing!
Yup, fantastic! There are always uses for old electric motors. Good video!
Great wisdom to fly in the face of this throw-away society.
My wife just got a new vacuum, first one in 16 years. I'm glad I remembered to watch this again, I was about to throw away the motor housing.The motor is still strong, and it's a brush type motor, with the original brushes. Gonna make me a 2" belt sander. Thanks for your videos..
Thanks! That was a lot of fun! Can't wait to watch more of your videos.
Awesome video! Keep it up.
Thank you!
Pleasant guy, imaginative and thoroughly enjoyable. So likable.
JEREMY FIELDING. !!!!! I just want to say that you Sir , have THE most fun and understandable channel. Thank you for sharing your brain with us.
Man. You can really think out of the box. Great ideas and great video. Keep it up.
Right to the heart of my tinkering mind, very well done.
Love it!! I'm a mom that loves to "junk". I keep all the good parts of everything, vacuums, Xboxes, blenders, whatever, and make new things for myself and my boys. These are great ideas for the shop I hope to have one day. Thanks and keep the videos coming!
It's amazing what you can learn by tearing apart old hardware, I do it all the time. Older style electronics are a little better because you can pull individual electronic parts off. Best thing is, you can't mess up because it's junk anyway, ha ha. Love your channel.
Brilliant! Now I can defend my qwerk of never throwing anything away...lol
So many ideas now. Glad I discovered this, definitely one of my favorite TH-camrs now!
That's a great idea with the wireless button. You should consider attaching it next to the table saw button. Great vid!
I love it when people do that! I have not considered putting it directly on the table saw. But there is no reason I couldn't. I will mount it right next to the button. Then...No excuses for not using it. Thanks Bearded Woodworker LOL. I just like saying that now.
The Bearded Woodworker
In case you haven't seen... the switch is on the table saw. Check out video 18... I call you out as well for the idea.
Ha ha ha.....you rock! Thanks!
You speak my language. I pick up some real treasures on the road side. I laughed a few times while watching this. Glad to know there are others who do this. Great stuff
Keep 'em coming! Your videos are not the s o s put out by soooo many other YT video creators. Not knocking other folks, just saying your videos are head and shoulders above anyone else's.
you rock, been telling my boys for years they want this n that. but no cash. told them, make it. it will get you by maybe more
You are brilliant Jeremy.
Omg I just took apart my vacuum after seeing your free parts video and now i see this. I'm so ready. Give me the wisdom
It is nice to know another like-minded individual such as yourself. A couple of years ago I got my hands on some vacuum cleaners and tore them apart as you did. I ended up building my own vacuum form table for thermoplastics. I used an old air hockey table for the table top. I ended up using two large vacuum cleaner Motors to ensure lots of suction power. It works very well. I will have to find you on Facebook and post you some pictures.
I wish you were my neighbor. Man we could get into some stuff!
steve harrell... we are neighbors now... that's the beauty of you tube you can visit my shop and I can visit yours? What you working on... lets do this!
steve harrell ME TOO...I WOULD HAVE THE STUFF....I'M A FINDER. IT'S MY KNACK....SIXTH SENSE.....AND GREAT ON GROUP PROJECTS. TRUE GROUP PROJECTS NOT THE LEMMINGS KIND. THIS GUY WOULD BE A GREAT AUTOMATA MAKER TOO.
god knows, l googled amazing things made with electric motors hoping to find a badass remote controlled car made or powered by a vacuum or rotosaw motor. me n this guy could probably come up with something pretty good in that way.
Steve Harrell, was thinking the same exact thing! I'd love to live next door to Mr. Fix-It
Was thinking the same! I’ve got 3 shops and a barn full of projects that need finished or have a few bugs I can’t work out. But an extra set of eyes and another brain with a different view and we’d have these figured out!
Just made my vac dust collection thanks so much for the video keep them comeing
Thank you! That is pretty awesome.
I wish I'd come across a guy like you rather than guys like NWA over 20 years ago. Thanks for making great videos where I learn things👍👍
Man I’m digging your channel more and more. All this stuff is right up my alley. I dumpster dive sometimes, pick up free things in alleys, and every once in a while I’ll buy something for dirt cheap or just splurge if I want it that bad. But my first option is always to see if I can make it myself. Im not rich by any means, and any money I do have I like to save it incase my dog needs an operation. I picked up a craftsman shop vac from in an alley a while back. Someone threw it out because they didn’t want to clean the dog hair out of it and the wheels were also all jammed up with hair too. I cleaned it and it works fine. Today I snatched up a bissel carpet shampooer that someone left behind a recycle bin at the grocery store parking lot. So I have those and summer is coming real soon and I want to fix my current AC unit, or make one, and also make some sort of table saw or table router.
Jeremy,
I love your stuff!!!
I think that you're probably one of the most creative people on TH-cam.
Keep up the good work!
hahahaha, I love all this kind of stuff and Jeremy you are one cool dude reusing all that stuff and making useful equipment. Thanks for showing us.
This guy educates in addition to showing how to salvage parts. What a genius!
I love your enthusiasm and how you you patiently explain everything! Thanks
Damn dude I wish you were my neighbor I'd have SO much fun helping and learning.
a regular Mcguiver. nice work
My wife said I cannot keep watching your videos. We already have too much junk and you are just enabling my habit. If it wasn't for the kids, I'd leave her and stay with you Jeremy. I love you!
Wow... I do throw things out if I don't use them within three months. I just don't have room to keep everything. The only things I keep "infinitely" are motors, bearings, and belts since I use that stuff on just about all my projects. I am so happy to hear you are enjoying the channel!
Just found your Channel. Very nice. I'm retired now, but I was a Contractor for 40 years and I used to... and still do collect parts like you. I've made a lot of useful things with them and repaired many others. I would hazard a guess I saved somewhere in the neighborhood of 10K building or rebuilding things over the years. I'm glad to see you showing the potential of salvaging and reusing parts.
Thank you!
recycling inovation at it's best. Great video!
I just found my new favorite channel on TH-cam. Dig your style~
You remind me of me, when I was your age. Nothing was ever left the way it was, if I could imagine a better version of it. This is truly what built modern civilization. More power!!
This is fun, i can't stop watching your videos.
Just brilliant. working on building a shop for myself. im a scrap collector and wood worker and and now a very excited man. cant wait to use your knowledge and creativity for a affordable shop. Keep up the great vids and i will update you in the future of how things turn out. Feeling blessed.
That is awesome... thanks for letting me know.
Dude! Thank you! Thank you! My wife thinks I am hoarding electric motors! Recycled components are my life! Some many uses; I was just given a hot tub to recycle and want to make a band saw out of the motors! Thanks for proving I am not insane!! Lol! Hoping you have a band saw video as well!
Dude buy a band saw!💀
Maybe invest in life insurance policy for your wife before you plug that bad hot tub bandsaw in!🤔just thinking!.
00111001 10011100
Dude bra, get a life, better yet do something you've never did before, get laid. if you have to pay to play in no way are you a man!
First time I ever subscribed to a TH-cam channel. You are not only clever and smart, but also entertaining and fun. Thanks!
Wow! Thank you... and welcome to the neighborhood!
Perfect example of recycling and repurposing. Nice work.
very smart and a nice shop !!
Thanks for the fun video! It's a lot more fun to experiment with free parts!!!
+maximpulse yeah it is! Absolutely
This is the second video clip of Jeremy’s craft. Reverse engineering in action. It is agreed that older equipment make better candidates for repurposeas they have better metal and fabrication? Keep it going Jeremy. Positive energy type of dude . I like this.
Mr. Fielding you're a freaking genius!!! First off I have a one car garage which from what I can see looks a little bit bigger than your shop, which is why I watched your video in the first place. I love that turn table, dust collector, air cleaner, oh hell I love your shop!!!! I never even thought of using old vacuum cleaners to do all that, once again you're a genius. thanks for sharing your tips and the tour of your shop.
Ken Epley
Great vid, thinking out of box, you are the mother of invention! Thumbs up!
Love your ingenuity.
Now this guy just gave me an idea of what to do with my vacuum motor... (Belt Sander) THANKS MAN
It's great to see all the creative ways you can use these parts. Thank you for that. You are an inspiration. I love the kids and the TV taking turns rowing. It reminded me of Gilligan's Island.
very informative. really enjoy your videos for a novice like me it really helps! Keep them coming.
Great my friend .When the crap hits the fan its people like you that will help rebuild this world back to progression. Many Thanxxxx !
that is just funny. And probably true LOL
Really neat stuff! I like a man who likes to repurpose things and save money! Keep up the good work.
It is 6 AM on a Saturday. I'm having coffee, browsing TH-cam, and found you. Now I'm seriously considering driven around my neighbourhood looking for any junked electrical goods, LOL. Thanks, Jeremy. I enjoy your resourcefulness.
Genius! Love your creative videos. This makes me want to rip something old apart just to build something new.
Love this. Absolutely love it! I may never use this info, but it's great to see what you can do with some curiosity, intelligence and GO. My hat's off to you. Thanks for these videos. Keep up the good work!
Excellent video. I like doing the same thing. People throw away so many useful things simply because they don't know how to repair them. I just wanted to encourage you to continue what you're doing. It's fun and exciting sometimes to learn how it ticks so to speak. Thanks for sharing.
Man your shop is amazing, I wouldnt be surprised if you get filthy rich later on for inventing something bad ass!! Your just like me in a sense. Other people see trash, we see potential. Your just way way better at building and your knowledge is way beyond mine. You've got a vision that most people dont and that's something special. Keep on keepin on man!!
thank you Jeremy you are an inspiration to all the young inventors like my 11 yo son.
Thank you!
Good stuff, thank you
I would not have thought of that, crazy brain you have, thank you brother from a different mother!!!!
Cool shop my friend, I'll be watching for your videos.
