The bowl method is absolutely the best I have seen to describe 3rd and 1st angle projections, and, I saw it here first. Thanks for an illustrative and easy to understand "I'll remember it forever now" demonstration. I was just about to dose off ( I am viewing at the end of a blueprint reading day) when I heard my name called out, which brought me to attention. A good teacher can even call to consciousness even the most sleepy student! hehe It is seldom that the symbols for which projection is displayed is actually put on the drawings I see although one usually can figure it out from the drawings. It is however, nice to see a drawing made by a draftsman, complete and professional. A super video and I look forward to the next in the series. As always, thankful and appreciative, jim (still) in Greenland.

Taking my blueprint reading class today for a 23$/hr job! Im stoked! Thanks for the help sir.

Best explanation of 1st and 3rd angle projection I’ve seen. 🇨🇦

I'm starting a career that requires knowledge of blueprint reading. It's been a while since I have needed these skills and was an amazing refresher to the lines and views! The illustration for the first and third angle projections was simple, effective and easy to remember. I look forward to seeing your other instructional videos! Thank you for taking the time to do this for us in need!

I have a new employee at work that needs training and I just came across your video today. You are awesome and you do a great job explaining. These are the perfect videos to teach a beginner. I appreciate you. =)

I've taken the blueprint class and I'd like to say that I love your videos, you are right on and your explanations are comprehensively in depth.

My boss who does ultra high end carpentry in NYC says you are the only guy to watch. I can see why ! Amazing!

I never understood difference between 1st and 3rd angle projection so clearly as now, this is by far the best method that i have come across. Thank you Sir for sharing your knowledge!

Sir, you are a great teacher. I have not come across many people who have the talent to elobrate the concepts so well

Marc, I enjoyed all four info videos on Blue Print Reading. Engineering drawings is what there being called today. So I hear! I was hoping to see more. This time explaining how to find missing dimensions, and the process of the mathematical formulas to discover there value. For example, on center, and off center holes equally spaced holes, bolt circles Find a length by using a radius. Find a length using trigonometry. Also touching base on sides that represent each other. More shops are going with planning instead of floor prints. We are suffering out here from the dumbing down we are being dealt. Thanks Marc, I love what you’re doing. Thanks for your help.

Excellent explanation Marc. I learnt this over 40 years ago, and you're bowl method is a good way of explaining it, we here taught the box method. In the early seventies we were taught both 1st and 3rd angle, Here in the UK we are 3rd angle and I believe we have been this way since the late 1950's

I work at Snap on and I’m about to take a test in the morning for a CNC Set up position. These videos have been a HUGE help and I’d just like to say thank you.

That’s the best and most accurate description of 1st/3rd angle views I’ve ever heard ! Thank you !

As an unskilled man, I can safely say to anyone that you can learn so much from these videos. Really interesting stuff, thanks!

Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. You're a very thorough teacher.

Thank you, you are better than the instructor at the community college I attend. Your videos are helpful and informative. Thanks again.

First year machinist student here, really appreciate the video. Helped me on my homework about how lines from one view have a matching line on another. So for example "Line 34 in the side view is what line in the top view?" I was pretty lost until you went over what the lines look like and what they represent. Thanks, I'll be watching your other videos too!

I thank you for all your videos. I am almost at the age of retirement and want to start building a home machine shop. As an aircraft mechanic, I've always admired those who worked in the machine shops and have always wanted to have my own as a hobby. By the way, the "First Angle" view makes more sense to me on a drawing. It represents, to me, like I just pushed the part from its top edge and it fell to that position. If I push the top over to the left, it falls the way the drawing represents it. I don't know, it seems easier for my simple mind. Once again, thank you for being a great instructor and teaching with the passion you do!!

Rap starts at 25:02

Wow great method of teaching sir, I'm weak in engineering drawing, I'm watching ur videos & trying to improve it.

This video has been great for me, I understood somethings that I was seeing but I did not know the meaning. Thank You. Merry Christmas and God bless those that give us their knowledge for free.

Thank you for the free website, I never took classes for this.

That bowl example is genius!

Marc, this was exactly what I needed to see. I just made a print today and as I drew my lines, I asked myself if they were correct and I questioned if I using the "correct" lines. I'm eagerly awaiting the other parts. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this crucial knowledge and in a way that's so easiest understood/digested. You're a great Teacher.

Good drizzly noon to you, sir marc, from far away asian spot here, philippines! am thanking you likewise, for being very clear in and with your free tutorials. GOD Bless you more!

Thank you for the amazing videos I just went to school for machine tool technology and I'm still having a hard time with everything I honestly think it's because my teacher would never have time to work with us so we was always stuck reading the books and not really getting hands on experience or a show how to do things but you just gave me hope that I can become a great machinists 👍🏻

The way you described first and third angle projection was very good..I really got a good understanding, thanks!

Having folded a lot of boxes, (and having been inside them too) I clearly understood the explanations of projections. Thank you for this video.

Best machining channel

I wasn't ready for that beat! Hahaha that veiw rap was pretty funny. Thank you for your videos!!!

Marc, I had Mechanical Drafting in high school, but never was taught (as far as I can remember) projections. Your instruction was very easy to understand. I'm looking forward to watching the rest of the series. Thanks for sharing. Square of the hair and the angle of the dangle.

this video is clear and concise. It is a good video to use in conjunction with classroom study or for review, in my opinion.

You know, perhaps I have forgotten a bit of this since studying it in the late '60's... Thanks!

Thanks for the vid Marc, I was a daughtsman in a previous life and it was all manual, before cadam.. I watched the vid all the way through just to refresh. You're a great teacher. Can't wait for the rest.

Good Teacher. Not only you know the subject but your teaching method and warm emotional appeal is tops. Doing it for free is great but the value offered even if it was at cost would be attractive. Hopefully youtube will payback a little with the number of hits you get. Yes not everything needs to be done for money but the shear fun of it...ain't it why we is machinists in training anywayz? Well done. I vote best of youtube for this series!!!

great demonstration with projection by using the bowl

Very helpful. Well done. God bless you Sir, you made it clear and enjoyable. More blessing to you and yours

He explains everything so well I learned more then what I learned in class I'm currently taking blue print reading class as off now & I'm learning more in these videos compared to school well there's 500 wasted haha thanks man!!!!

Thank you for this video sir. I'm trying to learn as much as I can about blueprints and this is definitely a good start. I am in the the process of applying for a apprenticeship at GM and have been searching for something to teach me on how to read blueprints and ect.

DANG IT MARC!!!!!!! I noticed you keep changing the little sign in the background and I keep lookin at it. LOL! These video series are great! Its a shame you arent teaching in a classroom anymore, but Im glad you are still teaching. I have learned a good bit from you, Thank you!

Wow. Thank you Sir for Most interesting and informative video lecture. Bowl method is absolutely amazing.

The bowl explanation is brillant.

Thanks for all These great Videos you provide, its realy nice how you Cover all the basics that one should know but has forgotten or never realy cared mutch for (and often is Kind of to proud to ask for once you are a little into machining) and refresh thin knowledge as well as lead to more advanced things that are genuinely New... I salute you and once again: Thanks....

and here i am in 2021 watching this video. The Sarcasm sing in the background plus the rap was a very good detail to bring un the energy.

Marc Enjoyed and could have used this video about a year ago, I was presented a drawing(s) to build some parts and I surely scratch my ass while I tried to understand what was being shown! My fix was quick disposal rough wood mock ups of what I read and presented to the drafter for clarification if necessary Bowl discussion was great!...tks Chuck

The analogy using the wall for first (1st) angle projection was confusing. But once you demonstrate using the bowl it was more clear visually. I think of 1st angle projection as if you were physical holding the part and you have to rotate the part to see each side/face. For example, think of the simple shape like the rectangular brick or the Rubik’s cube. Hold it so one side is facing you. Denote that face as the front view. Now rotate it up to see the bottom side of the brick/cube. That view would now be draw above the front view even though it’s the bottom face of the part. Now, return to the front face again. This time rotate the brick/cube down to see the top side/face. This top view is drawn below the front view. Return to the front face/side again. Now rotate the cube the your left to look at the right side/face. This right side is now drawn to the left of the front view. For third (3rd) angle projection. Imagine the same simple shape of a brick/cube. But this time the brick is fixed in position. You cannot rotate, pivot, or turn it. To look at each side/face you need to shift your POV. Imagine it as a box shape with flaps/lips. Each flaps is hinge to the primary view (front). To see top side lift the top flap. That view is drawn above the front view. To see the right side you pull right flap towards you. That is drawn on the right side. In summary, 1st angle projection is view from one POV. The first person. You rotate the part to see each side. The POV is fixed. 3rd angle projection is view from multiple POV. most commonly 2-3. The part is fix but the POV changes. (Hope my summary is more clear than my detailed explanation.)

hello thanks alot for posting this kind of videos i learn alot and helps me on my blueprint class in college....

I SO ENJOYED THE VIDEO... IT WAS SO INFORMATIVE AND WAS DONE STEP BY STEP FOR THE BEGINNERS

receive all my respects dear teacher, I do appreciate this helpful course. Ihave new job as a machinist operator level 1 but it requires lot of bleuprints reading. this course was very helpful.

Thanks Marc! Your explanations and the detailed examples, make us understand this subject better and easier! Cheers Jimmy

This was very informative, I’m so use to working with 3rd angle drawings that I’ve never even heard of 1st angle. I recently started working for a new company and all their drawings are from Russia 1st angle and I was so confused until now.

awesome video!! I love learning from from people like yourself!! i have no questions because everything was so well explained!! It feels like more of the world just opened up to me, thank you!

I finally understand first and third projection. Thank you!

Hey Marc,didn't know you were a rap star.This takes me back high school drawing class.Time to bust out the ole T-square.Thankyou for the teaching videos and you have a Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas and stay safe and warm. Dave Aarons

Nice work Marc, the bowl method for visualising the different projections is great.

best explanation big thanks from Algeria

Wow, I see from the third angle now! Thanks for the lesson Marc! I will put a bowl on my shelf.

This guy is awesome. Descriptive and conclusive he is. He is a great teacher.

thank you for the playlist i was too lazy to go back and re reading my blueprint reading book. I guess im also one of those lazy machinist haha. on the brightside i always try to look for the easiest way to get the job done!

Could you please activate the captions ? I'm Mexican and I learning English so that would be very helpful for me,thanks Mark I admire you and I would love someday become as wise as you ! Peace out.

At 4:30 you understand me without knowing me . Brilliant.

Marc, Thank you for sharing your time and tallent. The bowl method is great. The best explanation I have ever seen. Thank you

Thank you for this, it helps me a lot, i have so many topics i would like to ask you for, but just as a start: costing, what type of machines for what piece, fixtures and how to choose it and the cost for it, treatments and and and...sorry so may questions popping up and im glad I found your chanel !!!!!

here to learn how to read a blueprint and understand it enough to be able to move up in my workplace when i become eligible to do so, we make car parts so i dont know what section these types of blueprints would be under

Great help Sir. thank you Omar cnc operator

Thanks for the help! Very good teacher

I like how you explain things in this video! I definitely will watch other parts of this video. Thanks!

You are a very good teacher

Thank you so much for the Guidence, I really appreciate it

Just a heads up...... verbal error at 11.22. Centre line described as a hidden line. Spoken correctly at 12.46

You are an amazing teacher

Thank you, sir! This is such a useful lesson for beginners! I truly appreciate that!

one little mistake boss, central line above the section line, just start learning boss. great teacher.

Your "Bowl Technique" is brilliant. It made clear several concepts for me. As a beginner to blueprint reading and sketching, I wonder if you would suggest textbooks that are exceptional in their explanations & descriptions of important concepts as well as provide insightful questions along with answers so students can determine if they are comprehending points made in the text? Forever Grateful Pat K

Love the bowl method Thanks

Amazing video. Master of instruction. Thanks.

Hi Marc, Now I don't look at my cereals or soup bowl the same way as before....!!! Cheers, Pierre

🙏 thank you so much sir, for easy method to understand the projections 😊

for my time, it is pretty old and i am not used to it, but i will continue on :))

WOW! I liked your presentation very much!

Excellent presentation! Thank you!

Thank so much I had a couple thing that I didn't remember

Despite hating rap, I enjoyed your Machinist Rap! (The rest of the video was very good too!)

Marc : thank you can you please list how to spell the word of each line, those words are very new to me . Thank you again

I start machining class in january im so nervous thanks for the lessons!

it's very clear , thank for your video.

Dear Marc, thank you very much Lesson: 16

25:04 the beatbox begins xD

I almost died when he started beatboxing

Thank you ! Thank you ! Thank you !!!

Great illustration right there thank you so much Sir 😁

Great video as always. Look forward to the next ones

was struggling with projection views. the bowl analogy helped haha

good job trying to Learn this.

Thanks for all the vids Marc. Really good stuff. On this one a small glitch, on the first pass through the line types (@11:24) you call a centre line a hidden line. You call it correctly on the second run through. Sorry to be picky.

Thxxx a lot iv some problem with few boeing blue prints , not able to read it in depth ...

fantastic video.

Did an excellent job , thumbs up.

Thanks for your videos
