Finishing the Window Frames and Talking About the Future

I LOVED the Aging Daily. Putting money where mouth is, I became patron because I wanted to encourage you to make more vlog style content. (ideally, 5 Aging Dailys compressed into one video once a week.) I also would like to voice for delayed releases to regular viewers as compared to pure patreon locked content.

Call it "something else" indeed!

Love all the videos, my favorites are the How-To. Would love to see more of them. Also big fan of some of the editing techniques like starting the audio of the grinder or saw before cutting to the video or jump cutting ahead instead of fast forwarding through repetitive bits.

With regard to the Wheego and its inability to recharge, if you're seeing the charger show a charging fault, you may have a bad charger. They don't last forever. I was having a similar problem with my 2015 Ford C-Max, with the charger going into an error state, particularly in hot weather. I replaced the Ford OEM charger with an inexpensive charger I found on the web, and ever since I have come out to a fully charged C-Max every morning. Although, truth be told, I'm REALLY curious to see how Wheego butchered the Noble.

Not a big fan of patreon-only stuff :) I think it's hard to do "full fledged" Videos every Week. I'm happy if you succeed - but I personally wouldn't raise the bar that high - depends on the projects though. One Casual peer Week and one full fledged per Month (perhaps two?) Would give you time to do Casual and full versions without stressing out yourself. But ass Ted ILL points out - Do whatever you want, I enjoy watching all your videos :)

Underdunn, Overdunn, what ever you want. Your honesty is the greatest part. Also, your approach to a problem is always interesting, and a great learning experience.

I love the idea of weekly casual videos, but I don't think there is a need to force yourself to weekly scripted video's. We all love the 'properly' produced video's, but I think it's important that you are happy with the result, more so than sticking to a fix schedule. Also, I don't think Patreon only content is needed, although you might release a video a day or so earlier to Patreons....this seems to be common among other channels.

How about Weekly Aging for the new series.

Sorry to hear about the Wheego.

Aww, I liked the name AWLEV

Many seem to be suggesting a second channel for the low effort stuff, but there is already Underdunn and the name fits for that sort of content too.

Personally I dont think there is any need for patreon exclusive content, I'd rather support the content you make and let anyone enjoy it. The quality of your normal videos made me a regular viewer but the daily vids have been most welcome also, especially in these crazy stay-at-home times. Based on your existing content in both forms I think whatever you feel like making will be great.

As many have noted, a second channel (or unlisted videos) for patrons are a good way to do exactly what you're describing. Whatever you choose, I'm fully in support of this sort of lower-effort-relaxed sort of video.

Many youtubers that I watch have two channels, one where they post their well produced scripted videos and one which is for vlog style unscripted videos. Now you also have Under Dunn but I'm guessing you don't want to use that as a second channel in that sense, because you've been separating videos based on their topics, i.e. "automotive" vs. "home improvement". Soooo that would mean you'd need a third channel? Or a restructuring into two channels where you throw the scripted videos from each into one channel, and the unscripted ones into the other. Maybe you can ask Alec from Technology Connections (and his second channel ~"Connextras") about this? I'm sure he can point out some of the advantages and disadvantages to this approach. Or try reaching out to Destin from Smarter Every Day, or Clint from LGR - they also took the "second channel" option and they're both on Patreon so it should be easy to get in touch with them.

Does Patreon time out the subscriptions? When I logged on today I basically confirmed my subscription that I had never stopped (payments still going out). Worried I might not have been getting money to the right place.

Love the two videos a week idea. Personally, I don't expect Patron only content. I'm a Patron to support your bus adventures.

Naming it „something else“ actually seems like a good idea ;-)

I also vote for a Q&A style video/ Livestream for patrons and if you do want ideas for video naming scheme, I like AWDQ - Aging Wheels Dunn Quickly.

My vote is to bring back the AWLEV name for these casual videos and my vote is obviously yes for the weekly patron video.

Sounds like Aging Daily could just morph into Aging Weekly and be a project vlog type thing where you can fit anything you want to, be it a one day build, clips of things that don't fit anywhere else and most importantly, the chikkums.

I cannot wait to find out whose Figaro that is

Thank you, Robert! I've been really enjoying these (and would watch them endlessly) daily videos, but also really enjoy your scripted content. I'm looking forward to what you've proposed going forward, it sounds like a great plan! You consistently produce some of the best, funniest, most informative automotive content on youtube!
