Young guy, not a lot of money, but he builds stuff -- machines, buggies, and buggy transmissions of his own design. The kid can machine, weld, design, fabricate, and bend metal like a pro. We need more of his kind -- not more video gamers.

Started watching his one video on making his own three speed transmission. Don't have time right now to watch the whole thing but dang he was doing good work on several levels.   8)

Hate to break it to you, Ray - seems like the number one goal of young people today is to be a You Tube star.  :(

Yup; seems like the "new & hot" thing to strive for these days is to become a social media "INFLUENCER". I see that idiotic term batted around more and more these days. God help us!

Well, I've thought about perhaps starting a YouTube channel about HVAC repairs and restorations that I do. But I figured one post of my ugly mug and the whole internet would come down!  :-\
