What’s the most complicated task that you’ve completed with the aid of a YouTube video?

29 comments

1. Rebuilt a transmission

2. Changed the lid switch assembly on my washing machine. Getting the cover back on was also a bit tricky, watched another video to get that done. Took about an hour and ordered the part online for 30 bucks.

3. Built an AR15.

4. Put together an e-bike out of an old mountain bike I had laying around.

5. Rebuilt a riding lawnmower engine.

6. I had to replace a seal and gasket on a pump for a building heating water system. The video was in German but I got the main points of how to do it.

7. Life

8. Broke into my own car.

9. Python and machine learning. You’re my boy, Sentdex.

10. Repairing Ethernet cables for the first time

11. How to gently break up with my girlfriend so she doesn’t cut all of her hair off in my truck with a pair of kitchen shears that she pulled out from literally out of nowhere.

    No results, which I thought was odd

12. Modded my shotgun

13. Putting together a computer.

14. Sadly probably installing one of those step buttons that turns on a lamp. Oh or defrosting my drainage tube thing from my freezer

15. I tore apart and cleaned my dishwasher stuff so there would be no more standing water. Also installed a turntable cartridge

16. Getting the cartridge out of the shower and replacing it
    Felt good

17. Passed a calculus 2 test on series and sequences. Promptly forgot about after

18. Re-tiled a walk in shower.

19. Installing security cameras outside my house

20. Folded a fitted sheet.

    When we first got married my wife worked full time and I was finishing up a part time internship to officially graduate. And I was doing laundry one day and was like, there has to be a right way to fold it. And really once you figure it out it feels oddly simple.

21. Learn to navigate crypto defi

22. Removing bloody splinters from animals wounds and how to sanitize, drain, suture; etc.

23. I changed my alternator.

24. I built a top-down shooter game.

25. Changed the head gasket on a 99 Honda Civic!

26. Technically it was a couple YouTube videos combined for several tasks, but, wired in ethernet all over my house. Entry point in the basement off my large Juniper switch, all the way up to the attic, then back down through the walls and also several lines running outside to PoE powered security cameras.

    Had to learn how to perform cable pulls, how to install wire boxes, how to terminate ethernet cables, how to properly get lines through to outside from the attic, how to easily use a wire to drill holes at the right spot on finished walls…

    But now my whole house has gigabit lines!

27. The roblox 2019(possibly some similar year)

28. Almost changed everything in my car that isnt working. Still trying to figure out somethings though.

29. Honestly, debugging skyrim mods. Life has been pretty easy so far.
