Andrew it’s refreshing to see a younger person who not only works hard and has exceeded, but now wrote a kids book to instill the same.

Andrew your skills know no bounds. The fact you don’t use sponsors or charge a membership fee says a lot about you and about your content. Your video editing skills are outstanding. Your content and editing make for a killer combination!

You are a good teacher, Andrew. Young people need to learn skills that use their brain and their hands. There are many careers out there that pay well and are in short supply of applicants today. Welding, plumbing, fabricators and carpenters are needed.

"If it breaks then its not strong enough." Wow. That is some top-tier analysis right there. I'm writing that down.

Loved the new dad fear of best make that safe 👍🏻 Also great concept in snow chains and loved the explanation all they way through. The triangle form was an excellent decision I was trying to think of an alternative when you showed them at an angle across the track getting loose and you nailed it with the triangle method. Absolute great video again 👍🏻

It's awesome that you have written a children's book and having it manually illustrated! My nephews will be stoked on their birthdays :)

I have never though of "showing my work" during math as taking notes. That's brilliant insight. Thank you.

Nice job as always Andrew. Every time I receive a notification a new upload from your channel I get a new satisfaction, my life. Just one definitely different because I’m myself and working on my first ever memoir along with a film script to go along with My crazy life now that I am over. The age of 45. I nearly was killed just after the age of 42 after I was struck an early killed while on the job as emt. Afterwards I suffered a severe massive near fatal stroke. Watching you go to work is honestly very therapeutic for me. I can especially relate to you because I used to be a very good at building stuff from scratch before my near demise

Andrew is as real and genuine as they come. No gimmick, no flair, no desperate need to impress..unlike many creators, what you see is what you get, none of the AI bull people use to enhance their inabilities. Any guesses why he's so successful?

Certified chain installer here: The point of chains is to reduce the area of tread contact to a few small hard points, hence the superiority of "ice breaker" chains. This is why the skinny tread pattern worked so much better. The coming loose problem is because you have no chain tensioners, like wheel chains have. IF you put the single point on the inside, and make connectors to pull the two legs of your V's toward the next set ... some kind of cam-over with a spring ... they will stop coming loose. Eyes with carabiners(?) attached to the undercarrige side for sure... A lot like the things they put on a screen door to keep it from ripping the stopper cable out of the frame. Going around the corners of the triangle, without becoming too slack is a challenge, your springs will need to have a lot of compression travel, probably double what the screen door devices have... Chains are like mousetraps, build a great design and you will sell millions of them. Best of luck, Ken Lee.
