Alles gute Nachträglich. Du sprichst selten direkt in die Kamera. Ist mal eine nette Abwechslung. Kopf hoch wegen den Einbrüchen und dem Müll. Deine Einstellung den Müll zu Sammeln und nicht zu Ignorieren ist viel Wert. Das sind kleine Gesten der Gesellschaft gegenüber die kaum jemand bemerkt wenn sie gemacht werden.

​@@winniethexi2184Hm, seems like you know all about me, pal. If I'm such a raving liberal, why would I even upload a video about crime on the streets, three days before the US election? I simply show the facts of what happened here, while not trying to make it all about simple answers and politics. Lots of channels out there who do nothing else all day. So why don't you keep your innuendo to yourself.

That drill press is probably one of your best creations and the work on the holder for the plasma cutter was good. I cannot believe how long I have been watching your channel. I realised recently that 2015 is coming up on a decade ago and at the end of 2015 I was working a job where I was basically living in a Ford Focus TDCI on a derelict factory site in South Wales and I remember watching your "Real Fixes Real Fast" series and thinking how well it embodied the spirit of the age. If you're ever in Shropshire you can come by my place but I don't have much of a workshop or get into your kind of high end projects. Sometimes I go on roadtrips to Germany. If I am ever passing by Koln I will hit you up. I wouldn't mind helping out in your shop. You're very well equipped and a fountain of knowledge.

I have learnt a lot from your videos over the years Gerolf, so many projects and a very wide range of skills is unusual in a person. What's even more unusual is that you have talent for talking about it and making it interesting and can even use English which is not your own language to articulate the bon-ami. Dealing with theft and interference is something that isn't like diagnosting machinery and we all struggle with it and you are not alone in this respect. Keep making it an unattractive target and I have put a couple of apple air tags in the tools that they would probably steal.

A small hack to improve the fume collection of your plasma cutter is to cover the non cutting areas with either thin plate or a welding blanket. Also I note the distance from the table to the water pan. Most setups I have seen or used have the water pan quite close to the table. Not sure if this is for convenience or effectiveness, but it is easier to recover small parts that would fall through the grates. Keep up the great videos.

I still have my dad's old drill press which he got from my grandfather as payment for installing some windows in their house. It was incomplete and he had to fabricate the parts necessary to make it whole. It was painted grey and red in color. He painted the parts he made red to remind his father in law how much work it took to make his 'payment' work. My grandfather was a VERY cheap guy. LOL. I really like the look of the wood stand/table adapter. It is very functional for holding drill bit sets and such during use. Great video and it is good to see you put your skills to work to keep those thieving miscreants at bay. Cheers from TX USA !!!

We Brits live in a small country, Australia is on another level size wise. It's just too damm large to get around easily, they have very efficient modern public transport, but getting used to that takes a while. I think Australia is bigger than the USA, so gives you an idea of the size!

I never heard of anyone having too many tools each new tool opens up new opportunities and possibilities. Even being robbed is a new opportunity and points out unseen errors and faults which we never noticed because we were too busy thinking about the next idea that is more exciting. I have to remind myself to keep moving over each obstacle some times fast some times slow but always forward.

Dear me! Gerolf, You have grown! Both as an inventor & tinkerer, but also as video creator. I'm a fan of yours for quite some time, as your ideas have always appealed to me a lot, but I used to think that some of your creations although functional were a bit dodgy and lacking in quality or appearance, but I have to admit that you've gained professionalism, you're making much better and prettier stuff then before. It's so nice to see that you're always improving! I also really like the new slightly more personal formula of the videos, which are more than just repairathons. Huge kudos! Also - though I am a smidge spoiled with newer technology (not a great fan of 60-70's tools, which very super durable, but much more bulky and less ergonomic then modern ones)I think I share your passion and live objectives. Of repair, reuse and create instead of buy. I've been keen on many areas, to some degree on electronics, computers, audio equipment, but lately drifted very much towards automotive and mechanics, currently working mostly on bringing back to live my 33 year old Toyota 4x4, also making a ton of improvements to make it future proof for years to come. I remember you solving issues with your Subaru, and I was thinking - ohhh that's my field of expertise! I could have helped! My workshop is very small and modest, yet very well organized and it gives me what I need to do. I'm currently located in eastern Poland, not very attractive region, but I'm a frequent traveler and i move living places from time to time too. Not really recommending this region for a journey, though should you be in the area - feel invited. Also, will gladly join you in your lab, to help, to chat and to x-change experiences and knowledge. Wir konnen auch in Deutsch reden, aber leider bin ich nicht so flußich als in English, vor allem der technische Wortschatz fehlt mir.

I share your same spirit and always challenge myself to build whatever contrivance I'm building at the time, from as much as possible, scavenged parts from discarded appliances and equipment. In fact, half of my projects are inspired by mechanisms found during tearing down broken and discarded items. Sadly, due to a string of unfortunate events and relationships, I no longer have a business or a workshop. But I would absolutely love the opportunity to sit down and have a beer with you if you ever make it over this side of the pond! Cheers from Queensland Aus!

Best wishes from Tasmania, Australia. A guy like you could make a wonderful life over here. Here in Tassie it's a bit like the Black Forest used to be years ago. Rural, lots of trees and fields. We get the 4 seasons (unlike most of Australia), and the big plus is that there is almost no crime. With your skillset, I expect that you'd have no problems gettiing a work visa, and then citizenship, which is what I did when I moved here from a deteriorating UK 20 years ago. Honestly, I wish I'd left Europe sooner! I've been various places in the World, and to make a life, Tasmania takes some beating! Whatever you do when you come over to Aussie, for pity's sake don't just go to Sydney... the big cities in Australia are all the same and the worst parts. Go bush and meet some REAL Aussies! Just a quick comment about your machining... Watching all those passes with the milling machine made me wonder whether you'd considered simply using your 3d printed part to make a mould, and then use this to cast the part in aluminium. Did you think of this option?

Having something stolen is the worst feeling ever! and sometimes the damage they cause in getting in costs more than the financial loss of the theft. Maybe having a small attractive power tool with a tracker inside might be a good thing, although I hope your security upgrades are enough to discourage these scummy thieves in the future. I really enjoyed the video, fabricating is one of my favourite jobs in my workshop, the housing is awsome and looks although it is an original part. I have a MPCNC machine for wood milling, your video has inspired me to remake some of the smaller 3d printed parts in aluminium, I would love to make some 3D printed metal parts but the filament and debinding service costs a fortune and so I will mill them on my manual mini mill.

The stuff he didn't steal, he broke. It's so frustrating. And if we're being completely honest, there's no valid excuse for it. Drug addicts are a HUGE problem, and we are constantly pretending like it's not. If I'm ever near Germany, I would LOVE to meet you, as I have a handful of inventions I'd love to get your insight on.

I don't know what the petty crime rate has historically been in Germany, but it does surprise me somewhat that littering has become a problem - I always thought that of all European countries. the UK was by far the scruffiest in terms of littering, which has always been near epidemic proportions.

Yes the 🇬🇧 is a disgrace these days. I can remember that I'd get a clip around the ear if I'd dropped litter in the 60's, certainly a right telling off from my mum and dad. These days if you remonstrated with someone, even an 8 year old the least you'd get is being told to F off.

What a beautiful job on the belt housing. It almost looks original.

The belt cover is 10/10 looks great. There is some irony in the scrap you repair now being desirable enough to cause a break in, people suck. Stay safe, keep up the good work. And protect whats yours! I had an idea to stop people from drinking beers and leaving their cans at the back door of our shop. We cant do anything drastic but I want to put up a sign that says "RADIATION LEVELS NORMAL" a subtle threat that there is radiation, and letting them decide what normal is.

Keep up the work you are doing as the things that you are finding and bringing back to life again is very good. If you come back over to the UK and over to West Wales it would be good

Hi Gerolf, thanks for sharing all your great stuff. Please just do whatever you enjoy doing and share that in a format you enjoy sharing (and editing, etc). I really enjoy every video, no matter the subject. Regarding the break-ins, please consider some Home Alone style boobytraps or something. Of course this is no laughing matter, and it's absolute outrageous to hear what you have to deal with. Maybe some other viewers/patreons can help think of creative solutions to protect yourself.

About the tumbler/dryer. The Lawnmower Lady (yt channel) is using hers to tumble and clean rusty gastanks. I think that's a brilliant Idea. Just put it on cold, and seal the tank very good... Works fine! Of course you have to stuff some old cussion to pack it tight in there😉also tumble some smoll metal parts could be handy in there🤔😏. Betonmischmaschine geht natürlich auch aber ich finde die sind immer so laut😎😂
