Adjustable belt grinder table 

I watched your build vids a while back and planned on duilding a 2x72 grinder some day.... Well I just bought your plans and plan on building the grinder this winter. Thank you for your hard work and all the r&d much appreciated 👍

I could watch these videos all day. Top notch planning, skill, and content. Good luck on the job search. You could excel in a number of careers.

You possess really neat and clever fabrication skills. The entire grinder build is just awesome!

Everythig you build looks like it has been built to last for generations, I love it

At this rate of upgrades; 2019 - Grinder is CNC driven 2020 - Level 5 autonomous Grinder 2022 - Jer's Grinder becomes self-aware and launches a pre-emptive strike against hyooomans

You are very gifted. Few could match what you do so effortlessly. I would say, "If we tested ALL other video DIY'rs on RU-vid; you would be amongst the greatest".

Yours might the only channel where I never seem to find any negative criticism. That might be a better accomplishment than your incredible fabrications. I hope I can speak on behalf of your followers that it is a pleasure to watch your work and see how much people appreciate your work ethic, talent and creativity. I hope you stick around for a very long time. This is one channel I would really miss.

I love your style Jeremy. You’re a fascinating person. Great tip about the drill bit sizing. Never occurred to me to choose a bit that matched the smaller part of the final dimension.

As always, great design and execution. I'm always impressed with the accuracy you achieve with relatively simple methods

Nooooo, I like the rambling! It's an incredible look into your thought process and planning!

I don't mind your rambling. It is just explaining the reason for your design. That helps me understand the build. I've built everything except the small wheel attachment. The small wheels were on back order last time I checked. I will build this soon. I'm sure you are aware of this, but you are a genius.

Your metal fabrication skills are A+. You put attention to detail and make everything as precise as possible. Great videos.

Thanks for another accessory for this awesome grinder. Can't wait to see more. It is clear however, that with the quality you deliver, it can't be a new one every week. This is top notch. Build- as well as the quality of the video production. Very entertaining. Personally, I picked up a lot from you.

By far the best grinder set up I've seen. Btw, you have a very sound approach to your builds, the quality is top notch and you show that with a little bit of forethought you really can make professional grade equipment on a fairly tight budget.

You're a very clever guy. Even the stuff you don't explain I learn from...such as tilting the work piece when you cut it on the band saw so it cuts at an angle and doesn't bog down the blade. Keep making good stuff!

@Jer Schmidt yes, yes we are here for the rambling, the thought that went into this, and how we can apply these to our own projects. Thank you for all you do. Please keep it up!

I knew I would like this video when I just saw a thumbnail but now half through it I already love it. I learned what,why, and how to chose a drill bit for pilot holes! Thank you, you are a gifted man. Thank you for sharing your experience and creativity with all of us!!!

I always fully enjoy your videos. You have unique ideas and excel at conveying your design considerations and methodology. Thank you for sharing with us!

Jer I could listen to you ramble all day. I've never done a minute of machining or fabricating of any kind but I'm in awe of your cleverness and ability to solve multiple problems all at the same time. Can't stop watching your videos

YESSSS. Another Schmidt project for me to complete! I’ve been waiting for this one brother, thank you. I have used my grinder literally every day since I built it. It’s one hell of a machine!

rambling is good it show all you need to think of before building .always include that great job

You are an amazing engineer! I love to hear why you do certain design elements in your build, I'm kind of a geek that way but it was very funny! Thanks for sharing!

The stuff you build is so cool and its so nice to see how much effort and knowleg you put into it! Love it!

Jeremy - Your videography, lighting, framing, and editing is legitimately world-class on RU-vid. Not just good. Not just good for an amateur. No exaggeration, you might literally be the best in the world at this. I can't think of a single DIY-ish channel that does it better than you. Everyone else I always keep thinking "I wish they showed X", "I wish they explained Y", "This is getting boring, I wish they'd cut and compress it", etc. But you just seem to get it. You get what good content is, you get how to show it to someone else. You have a great head for both educating and entertaining, all the little 2 second things that might take a half hour to describe why you would want to film it a certain way that you just get. I never wish you'd spend more or less time on a section. I never wish you'd explain it a different way. There's always something both interesting to see and listen to at every moment. I know you get a lot of positive feedback on your projects themselves, but, if it's anything for you like it is for me, it's 2x-10x the time and effort to film something the right way and I figure you should know that it's valued and appreciated. I think you not only have a rare talent (most people wouldn't know how to do this well), but you have a rare work ethic (even if it was common to know how to shoot it right, most would not bother to do what it takes to make it happen). If you enjoy making content I hope you continue to do so and find success in it.

Jeremy, your design and fabrication skills are impressive. The degree of precision and attention to detail makes for an impressive well built quality product. I hope your career plans are progressing. Fabrication and design in a custom shop is an essential skill set toward eventually landing your dream job if you will consider that goals are achieved not all at once but in a series of decisions. BTW, your dad is having his dream shop custom built in all of this. I hope he pays you well for the tools you've built or you get to keep it all.

You give a boot to the "near enough is good enough" theory when accuracy is critical. Video quality and instruction, warts and all, is really great and shows that even the best of us can make a blue, and correct it. For a young bloke, you've shown us old folk, that art and skill doesn't always give way to higher technology and teach the old hands, like me, quality and planning skills will "keep on, keeping on". You're a credit to your workshop and trade.

You produce some incredible work Jeremy, your explanations are great and easy to understand. Brilliant!

Such a Genius! I’m excited to add this to my build and get back to it and finish it up. Love it Jer!

They have those handles that you can pull out, off the adjustment nut, to tighten and loosen, like on a mill... that way you wouldn't hit the bottom of the table... Glad to see you made an adjustable table... I've been suggesting it for a long time... Next is the surface grinder, hahaha take it easy...

Thank you for sharing Jeremy. Fantastic video, excellent explanation and beautiful metal crafting. It really is a joy to watch. Looking forward to future projects.

This was satisfying to watch, inspiring, and it made my day a little better. Also, great tip on the pilot hole size

Happy New Year. What a great job over built to perfection. Love the durability of machine. Just ordered plans can't wait to print out and start building.Some day you will be on a tv pbs show . You will inspire so many young people to take up crafts. Ever thought of teaching classes for your crafts. You have a gift from God what a great teacher you will be. Thank you.

You're precision is unmatched. Amazing work.

you really are a clever chap, the whole build has been a joy to watch and your explanation regarding your reasons were crisp and clear to unerstand. thanks. how you getting on with looking for employment. surely you could smash out a video every week and become a full time content creator like other youtubers. your one of the best to watch on here.

there's so many great considerations here, it's a really great video just to teach how to consider building something

Awesome Job Jeremy. I just uploaded the first video of my build. You did a fantastic job on the plans! Thanks you so much for sharing your incredible creative mind with us.

You are an artist working and welding metal, love your work.

even if you need that only once a year, the satisfaction when you are using it is worth it. Thanks for sharing !

You should make precut kits available. I think you would do very well. You have e a very nice design but most people don't have the patience or time to cut everything out. You have a bright future no matter what you do.

I can’t get over how precise everything fits.... you’re a human hydro jet!

Very pleasant to see you build, explain and the final result. Awesome 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.

Another well thought out, well built accessory for what I think is probably the best grinder design out there.

Thank you , thank you, thank you for making this video. You know, I leaned more tips from this video than any other video I think I have ever watched. Not only do I now know how to make a table design that will work well for the belt grinder I am building, but I leaned about not making welds too long and warping the metal and beveling the edges to allow room for the weld to set. And I have wondered how in the world to make a curved slot in metal for quite some time. Your method is ingenious. I also thank for for explaining things clearly and easily to follow. Great video!!! Thank you again.

Very nicely done ! I can only imagine what projects you could do with a milling machine ! Keep up the good work !

I don't necessarily have a need for a belt grinder but every time I watch your videos about yours I'm just reminded that I want to build one even more.

OMG. The quality of your work! Grinder manufacturers are ready to dive off a bridge! Great job!

Very nice work Jeremy. You have great metal working skills and ingenuity. Next on your list should be a mill to make some of those cuts easier but your ability to do this the hard way is simply outstanding. You’d be an awesome machinist and could pick up CNC very easily to work in any fabrication shop. Keep it up!!

Another great build with my morning coffee... thanks Jeremy. Cheers

Hi there! This build is so nice, I have to call it that twice! It is nice! really nice! (Usually I nitpic all the time so people can get even better. Not the case this time. Stay as you are!) Regards, Etna.

As wonderfully precise as this is, I see no reason why you would get a thumbs down. Another job well done.

Wow. Some nice fabrication there Jeremy! Nice attention to detail, the end product looks fantastic!

No more rambling? I want the rambling! Great video man, your precision and attention to detail are god tier as always, thanks the predrilling info also didnt know the best predrill size before then

Great vid. The grinder is sick. I have enjoyed watching the build process. Your precision and attention to detail are amazing.

I came across your videos maybe two years ago and I built a simple design belt grinder thanks to one of your videos that inspired me!

Awesome build there Jeremy! 👍🏻 Going to build that grinder when time permits!😊 Again thanks for sharing!

Love your work Jeremy. Always so precise and so satisfying!!

I’ve watched your entire grinder build at least twice. Love the design and skills you have. Hope you are able to make some new videos soon.

Thank you for dimming the welding parts. It is as brilliant as your job!

i love both how articulate, and how well enunciated, this host communicates. it's top notch, it's a-game

I learn something every time I watch: The pilot bit diameter! Good info.

wow now that is heavy duty. You are certainly a credit to your craft. Precision workmanship at its best. As I was watching though i got to thinking. For someone setting up their workshop for the first time you really have to be strategic with which piece of equipment is key to make/purchase so you can set the rest up. Just recently made a stand for my port a band and had a bunch of other things already...soon as it was created it was the key to making pieces and tool stands for the rest of my gear.

I'm here for the "rambling" Jeremy. Really enjoy the blow by blow descriptions you give. Great video, as always. :)

Excellent Jeremy. Brilliant build and great video. All the best to you.

Really nice workmanship. Well thought out plan. Thanks again.

That is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. I must make one of those. A great project for my everlast welder and some of the metal I've got.

I always look forward to your videos. Everything you make is so precise. I love it!

Dude this is brilliant!! I learn more off your videos than any one else. You differently think like a Machinist that’s for sure. Thanks and keep it up. 👍👍

Great design love the whole grinder. I am going to by your plans and attempt to build it. Thank you.

Wow, great engineering skills. Fine fine detail to create a great piece of machinery

Really impressed with your problem-solving! Nice work!

Nice one, Jer. I always love seeing the cool stuff you do.

Another excellent video Jeremy, well done. I like the trick on the band saw where you stuck around piece of stock under the long plate so the teeth of the bandsaw didn't plug up.

Very nice, precise engineering. Thanks for the descriptions and for explaining your design choices.

Holy shit man, every metal worker would kill to have one of these in their shop, its modular, adjustable on so many levels, no space wasted, imo its genius engineering. Built like a tank and its gonna last forever, good work.

Good to see you back, and as always great presentation. Looking forward to seeing more cool stuff your a great innovator.

Thank you for a 16:42 non stop , non fast FW pleasant/educational viewing. Regards from Cyprus

Geez you have some skills and a bucket and a half of smarts! Ditto to the job thing and my fingers are crossed for you in whatever, wherever and however you go... I’ve been waiting for a new Jer video to come along and hey! And having watched it I think that I will go back and binge watch all the oldies as I really get a buzz out of them. “The only thing that flat earthers fear is sphere itself ……”

As usual, beautiful design and implementation. Well done.

Excellent design, beautifully executed!!

This has got to be the Roll Royce of Belt grinders. Very well thought out.

Mr. Schmidt, you have amazing talent!

I officially can say you the best fabrication VIDEOS. Love your VIDEOs.thk u.

Jeremy you amaze me with your design and building skills. This is a really good video of an excellent design and construction. Your skills with metal fabrication are A1. I like your ability to weld having properly prepared the weld geometry. I guess you are using gas shielded (MIG) welding from the appearance of the welding head and the lack of oxidation on the excellent welds. Good thinking too, to limit the welds on the steel plate to avoid introducing too much heat, resulting in thermal stresses, with risk of geometrical distortion. Some lucky company will be rewarded handsomely from employing you one day, if that is what you choose to do. Thank you for sharing this exhibition of skills with us. 👍

Absolutely amazing, I always enjoy your work, and always look forward to seeing your videos, keep up the good work

Really impressed with the design and quality of build.

You are impressive and skilled. Thx for this very informative video

Great video. Clear, instructive and well edited. Thank you.

Excellent as ever Jeremy, huge talent ! Thank you : )

You're clever man, perfect belt grider, explanation in details, very useful tool, transformer belt grider. Thank you for your instruction.

The best belt grinder ever! Congratulations!

Actually Voiceover Jer, I'm here to hear about your challenges and how you overcome them as your designs are always extremely well thought out and even better put together!

Well done, Jeremy. Keep up the good work.

I'm pretty sure that in 100 years from now someone will enjoy working with your machines. If he will know that this all was handcrafted? Fantastic job, hard to beat! Stay well, greetings from Germany!

Bravo! Great performance. I'll never do this type of engineering, but I'm addicted to your videos. I get a similar feeling of awe and satisfaction as when watching Martin building his MMX. (Which is where I first heard about your channel.). Thanks!

Perfect. thanks for showing your works. Greetings from Portugal

You're a genius!!! Nice building man. Greets from The 🇳🇱 👍🏼👏🏼

With even an old Bridgeport you'd see the speed and precision of your builds raise exponentially. Great work and it's critically important to keep your "old school" skills honed. It's also important to honor them. CNC technology is incredibly awesome, but using too much of it will atrophy your ability to problem solve with our predecessor's ability and ingenuity. I work with Haas VMCs every day, but I don't use a CAM system to program unless absolutely necessary. I try to get onto a Bridgeport as much as possible. I've found that if I don't do these things, my overall skillset begins to wither.

excellent! I will build this for the new grinder. Good work Jeremy!

once again a very cool and well thought out , addition , and ramble on ,,,, that's what makes you who you are ,,

great job again jeremy one of the best grinders ive seen
