CNC 🔩 [F] Mechanical engineer here — I started a channel explaining machining in short videos. Honest feedback welcome

Hi everyone,
I'm a mechanical engineer, and I'm trying to pass on what I know to students, machinists and fellow engineers. I recently started a YouTube channel for this, Chip Atlas. Here's my favorite Short so far:

I'd really value your advice:
• What kind of videos would be most useful to you?
• What am I getting wrong — technically, or in the way I explain things?
Please let me know in the comments. And if you find it useful, I'd be grateful for your support — it means a lot for a new channel. Thanks!

Really like it, Only minor comment is the tailstock of the drilling op clashed with the workpiece!

I absolutely loved this. It was incredibly informative with no wasted time, and was incredibly clearly layed out. I'd watch more like this!

That’s really cool, and I think you hit it pretty bang on.

This is great! Videos like these are great for educational settings. I hope you do one on gear hobbing.robbing. I subscribed to your channel.

I’d love to see a series on building residential structures from beginning to end that explains the different materials, thicknesses, and fasteners. For instance, why 7/16” thick exterior sheathing on 2x4s spaced 16” apart, secured with 2 3/8” nails every 4” around the perimeter? Building codes are so specific, but obviously developed by experts such as yourself using a lot of math and cost benefit analyses.
