Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@tay.ramisu says : Thank you SO MUCH, this video is exactly what I’ve been looking for for years. The giant real-life demonstration is exactly what I needed—to be able to see the entire process!>> <<@Sidelobes says : Fantastic video, thank you! It was high time I learned how this works>> <<@WhatTimeBuilt says : Using gradient thread to follow the loop around the bobbin is a clever explanatory choice. It shows the difference between the temporary slack needed to form a stitch and the thread that stays in the fabric.>> <<@PushingGG says : This is so cool. 2 years late to learn such an awesome history.>> <<@Miansahb-m3l says : The detail that finally made it click for me was moving the eye of the needle down next to the point — such a tiny change, yet that's what made the lockstitch actually work. Great storytelling as always.>> <<@brucenatelee says : ~6:00 or 6:30 This is why I'm pissed that YouTube got rid of making clips. Just to clip how the threading works would be dope. It's something that "makes sense but easy to forget.">> <<@themysteriousfox3767 says : this has me excited as hell to sew>> <<@arjunkumar-x6e5z says : can i become the sewing machine next>> <<@BerylSiadari says : From singer to sewer>> <<@surakeneni1310 says : The created bulge when the neeedle move up is the key to success to that sharp thing catch it>> <<@JSTKSK says : I don't understand how that many clothes are thrown away. I maybe throw away a few lbs of clothes per year, and that's even with me being lazy and not repairing any of them. If I get a hole I just throw it away and when my pants are too faded or worn those get replaced too. That really only comes down to a couple of shirts and a couple of pants per year with a handful of socks and underwear, though, since I don't just wear the same 3 or whatever pairs of pants and the same 3 shirts so the wear gets spread out. How does it come to 35lbs!?>> <<@Commonsensemedia101 says : I am proud that my dad worked for the Singer Sewing Machine Company in the southern Philippines from 1965 to 1990. He then moved on to start a dealership selling Singer products. He started as a technician and was later promoted to Regional Auditor. During his employment, he met my mum at the fabric plant, where she worked as a dressmaker and he worked as a technician. We still have a Singer sewing machine that was made in the late 1960s, and it still works very well today.>> <<@paolosala8258 says : Awesome video. Enlighting: i often wondered how one sticth coul be engaged in the next one. Now I understood. Thanks!>> <<@jhonnatanmontano2921 says : 02:22 It was aliens, obviously. Why all that comlicated explanation of homosapiens, arqueolgist and s++t!>> <<@norbertvuganeza1693 says : I'm Rwandan I'm student in trade of fashion design FAD sir how I can meet you it's my dream to meet engineering of sewing machines sir please can you help me answer me thanks you.>> <<@robertdemoine5066 says : 6:16 Hook: *notices bulge* uwu looks like u got a threadyweady uwu>> <<@jeffdege4786 says : There were a great many people working on the invention of sewing machines, and a number of them solved, and patented, specific aspects of the problem. It wasn't until they got together and created a consortium that created a patent pool, allowing every member to use all of the patents.>> <<@pdxfunk says : Props to Veritasium for making the best content on YouTube. Period .>> <<@SMITHII_ says : As an upholsterer who has had to repair my juki 1000s of times, I definitely know how they work.>> <<@akinnon2000 says : 5:29 so THIS is the solution>> <<@damenwhelan3236 says : Can you explain how a sewing machine works? Which type of stitch? (Aka yes).>> <<@Coltonlaumbcolb says : I know I’m quite late to this but can someone please explain how the shuttle is able to pass through the loop? 10:08. Do sewing machines also have a special driver that perfectly aligns the atoms for the thread to phase through the area where the shuttle is held?>> <<@JoaquinBernal-p9t2s says : I can certify that I have a Singer 27 model sewing machine, and I still use it, and works perfectly. Even more, I have another singer model, the 12K, that I do not use out of respect, which is 148 years old....and it also works perfectly!!! Those machines were made to last!!! In the begining of XX century, it wasn't uncommon to read last wills, leaving the sewing machine to a particular daughter in my country.>> <<@stephaniejosine says : I love that you built actual models for the purpose of understanding and demonstrating this. Amazing.>> <<@zulucharlie5244 says : Great documentary video. We take clothing for granted - yet there is an incredibly rich technology store here, and one that stretches back farther than most other forms of tech. The sewing machine predates automobiles and semi-automatic firearms!>> <<@shereehanna6230 says : Awesome video! I love the history and illustrations!>> <<@OvrlordEtna says : "AI is taking our jobs!" "Sewing Machines are taking our jobs!" People need to learn to use AI as people have learned to use all other tools made in the past.>> <<@rajkumararulambalam9829 says : Thanks!>> <<@DoverMint says : Likely is an understatement, i can assure you i don’t know how it works.>> <<@Vietnguyen-ve3ym says : 13:24 bro be aura farming in the late 19th century>> <<@lnt305 says : I’ve actually wandered about this every time I sew 😅>> <<@karldieckmiller says : Where do you get this "WE" stuff? Neither of us existed in 1755.>> <<@alwaysleaping says : People put clothing in landfill??? This is unbelievable. I grew up thinking that you mended clothes as much as the garment can take, then use the fabrics for things like cleaning cloths or stuffing for art projects. (And I grew up in the 90s)>> <<@AndrewAce. says : 5:30 - Sounds about right 🇫🇷>> <<@osckey8888 says : We've a sewing machine usha india more than 70yrs old my grandma bought it when she was married for 100rs. Now it costs 10000rs. it worked until today, i was looking a new one to buy and yt recommend this video, now I'm surprised how much our sewing machine hold history and memories. Great invention from scrap yet thinking mostly women using this machine invented by men feels ironic. After this when i go to stores I'll remember how those clothes made with lot stiches and gonna be wasted if not bought.>> <<@gggg-t2d7w says : 0:40 video over, i kinda got it>> <<@highbrbieee says : not "likely", _absolutely_ i do not.>> <<@smunro851 says : I’d love learn how to repair sewing machines!>> <<@bordenfleetwood5773 says : I'm a leatherworker. I would like to point out that the lockstitch isn't unique to fabric work, and was known at the time that these machines were being experimented with. If you've ever held a Swiss Army Knife and wondered about that small blade with the hole in the middle and mounted at the middle of the handle instead of an end? That's a sewing awl, meant to putting a lockstitch on leather. It wasn't used often for hand stitching. That's because it's a pain. It's more secure than a chain stitch, but less secure than a saddle stitch, and takes more time than either. It's really only viable for a machine.>> <<@PandarenSoul says : 9:54 mentions vibrating shuttle but shows a transverse shuttle as the example>> <<@scooterdon8365 says : Chain “stitch” = knitting=slip knot= topographic “trivial” knot Textiles may be 2nd only to cooking/fire in importance to human progress Also cool video. Thx>> <<@AEON. says : Planned obsolescence is why cheap clothes end up in the landfill. before that, there was the higher standard and more durable fabric and hand sewn that cost more but clothes were handed down generation to generation. the best outfit was your "Sunday" Church outfit worn only to Church. imagine this - womens leggings lasted years and the companies couldnt sell enough to stay in business so the first Planned obsolescence was created making a crap version of leggings and they stopped completely the production of higher quality leggings - this idea the moved to light bulbs. and here we are today - the saying THINGS ARE NOT MADE LIKE THEY USED TO BE MADE - is where the saying came from. And it's true. it's another reason hemp was banned even to grow as a textile.>> <<@telseer15 says : I am a long retired electro mechanical engineer and have worked on commercial and domestic equipment of varying complexity, but have always had an admiration for the concept of how a sewing machine was developed.>> <<@pvallis7 says : Thank you for this one! I've been wondering for YEARS how sewing machines work. This was very enlightening!>> <<@mauricedelarosa6083 says : I’m a mechanical engineer that got into the field due to my love of automobile engines. And while I didn’t end up working in the automotive field, I am very good at what I do. That being said, I am in awe at the creativity of the designers of the various solutions that needed to be developed over the years so that we could end up with the modern sewing machine. Thanks for this video and for your 3D model. I must admit that even with your oversized model and the excellent animations, the design concepts are still so subtly sophisticated that I almost can’t follow. The creativity of these men were truly at an elite level. Much thanks for helping me finally grasp what was going on as I watched my mother sew so many years ago.>> <<@potatoes_are_fine says : Automating stitches? Sewing with machines instead of by hand only makes slop 💀souless SM slop>> <<@jeffpalmer2192 says : I thought this was Rowan.... Viva La Dirt league is getting to me.>> <<@Yabroproductions33 says : Anybody else watch this and want to start sewing all of a sudden.>> <<@mchevre says : Bold of you to assume there was any chance that I possibly understood. lol I've wondered for so many years how a sewing machine works like, geometrically what is happening in there.>> <<@rongarza9488 says : From 11:00 to 12:00, the bobbin does not have a rod going through it. All sewing machines hold the bobbin in place with a rod going through the bobbin. Can anybody explain that?>>
