Introducing The Patron Series

4/21/2016

24 Comments

 
For some time I've wanted to acknowledge the huge contribution that financial supporters of the channel make to the creation of the project videos. Making the videos is an expensive and time consuming activity, and without any doubt, Clickspring Patrons, and those who provide direct financial support via other means, keep the lights on at Clickspring.

So I'm very pleased to announce a new, and improved reward structure for Patrons and financial supporters, that is my way of saying "Thank you" to you all.

As of today, there will be a new series of project videos (in addition to the free Youtube projects), available exclusively to Clickspring Patrons, that I am calling The Patron Series. Every Patron pledging $1 or more per month will have complete access to:
  • Exclusive multi part project videos not available anywhere else 
  • Fully dimensioned drawings associated with each project, and
  • The opportunity to win the project, at the completion of the build.

The main "long term" projects (like the current clock build, and those main projects that will follow it) will continue to be freely available via YouTube. The Patron Series is additional content that I am creating specifically to acknowledge how important I consider Patron support of the channel to be. It is my intention that The Patron Series will be related to the main free projects on YouTube, and provide an interesting additional perspective to that project, with unique tool and device builds.

For now though, the first project in this new series is a 5 part build of a terrific little hand vise. You can catch a preview below of the first episode that has been released today, and I do hope that if you're not already a Clickspring Patron, that you will consider becoming one today.

Cheers,
Chris.

I feel incredibly cheap only pledging $1/month, but as a student and new father, it's all I can comfortably give at this time. Like I've said so many times in comments, you make the most incredibly produced content I've ever seen on YouTube. Keep doing what you do!

I love Patreon, and that it lets me support content providers such as yourself.

And I love your videos, such attention to detail, not only in the pieces you make but in the editing of the video. Looking forward to seeing this new series, and the clock of course! :) Keep up the good work.

I stumbled upon your work by accident and have been enspired to join the Patreon group. Sites and workmanship like yours also inspired me to publish my own website last year. I hope you will visit www.edsshed.co.za and comment - while I continue to enjoy each new video of yours, with best wishes from Cape Town, Eddie

Hi, are you only doing paid content now? I see a lot of updates on Patreon but none on Youtube.

Hey Chris,

I keep Patrons updated with my daily video making progress a lot more frequently these days, hence the more frequent posts on Patreon, but I'm still doing both YT and Patron content, no changes. The gap in the YT content has been caused by the latest 2 Antikythera Fragment videos taking much longer to produce than I expected. I will be in the final edit and narrate stage for both over the next few days. So they will be up for $3 Patrons within a few days, and then up on YT 7 days later.

Cheers,
Chris.
