Bahahaha. I love how the secret santa projects range from vaguely useful, to completely useless, and just outright ridiculous!

[@Mountainboy2]

Hope things are looking up by you and you rejoin the secret Santa next year

Hi @theHacksmith 👋🏻

[@ThisOldTony]

I love my third arm! In fact I'm typing this message with THREE ARMS! Thanks Emily! Came right over to see the build. Merry Christmas!!

[@bassett_green]

Print a phone holder attachment!

"I know what you're thinking, thats impractical" I believe "thats impractical" is the unofficial motto of Maker Secret Santa.

[@DerZocker2000000]

hey! tony made some clamps and some screwdrivers the year before

[@MEatRHIT2009]

@@DerZocker2000000 Yeah Tony tends to make very useful and thoughtful things, whoever gets him in these is like drawing a golden ticket. Most others, while entertaining, are basically useless. Though the inclusion this year of an artist/musician led to another really cool gift (record with custom art and a novel song)

[@Appletank8]

Excuse you, I want 4 hands.

[@Kreidian]

Just wanna point out that Colin Furze made fire farting pants for his maker secret santa. So you're way ahead as far as practical presents go.

[@Dr.Coconut1245]

those tpu grippers are so surprisingly effective it’s really cool

[@jonathandill3557]

My wife was very skeptical until you brought in all the groceries, then she was 💯 on board with the idea and wants her own 👍🏻

[@h7opolo]

It's a dream come true.

[@ireallyreallyhategoogle]

lol A very handy third hand.

[@alispagnola]

My normal number of hands are jealous

[@davidschulz7352]

I love how around 4:40 into the video we get 100% real and genuine light bulb go off in her head when she things about having multiple interchangeable grippers. I loved it cause it’s exactly how I look and talk after I have one and I’d imagine every other builder/ creator looks as well. Need to finish the video but def subscribing.❤

"Balanced, as all things should be" So wholesome omg❤

[@JasonCrosen]

Emily sending and receiving a plastic hand is definitely a sign of balance. Great job!

[@FilamentStories]

150% more ThisOldTony to watch now, genius!

[@ToreDL87]

Found you via TOT, about expired from laughing less than 2 minutes in 🤣 Subbed So good to see you not only lend, but even GIVE and RECEIVE a helping hand.

[@nuffsaid0]

I freaking love your energy. Also, return to monke - absolute success. And I love how you sold your helper arm in the video and how Tony also played it up. Brilliant!

[@GetTheFOutOfMyWay]

😂 How was this more entertaining than watching furze safety tie protect him from catching on fire and burning everything down. Love the whole episode.

[@larrykent196]

Back in 2012. A conversation at work with the GM. I brought that idea up, the third arm. Who ever figures this out will have a winner. I was working for a manufacturing company then. I was thinking then that is would be a waist mounted arm. Cool idea, great job with it. Cheers to you and the process.

[@metalxhead]

I smiled the whole video. You won me over when I heard the djent, which I totally did not expect. So glad for Maker Secret Santa because now I can explore your channel!

[@sgsax]

This is the pure chaos I signed up for. I love Makers Secret Santa! Thanks for sharing!

[@CountDoucheula]

I think I may have just found a new favourite maker. The memes, the references, top notch banter from camera dude *chef's kiss* Shine on, you adorable weirdo 👍🏻

[@hojster24]

Omg about to watch all your vids, loving how fun your editing and humor are across the board. Well executed and perfectly presented :)

[@SamJantz]

I always look forward to KZbin secret santa and this did not disappoint! I love the chaos energy

[@ToBeeOrNotToBeHoney]

I started the journey at My favorite KZbin creator ToT and ended here. I love what you created, and the process you showed creating it. You have one new subscriber thanks to ToT and this chain.

[@Excronix]

God I love your videos. The level of goofiness is amazing. Can’t wait to see your channel explode with subs

[@EricKummerer]

A wonderful video & PERFECT gift. This Old Tony brought me here, took the long way round, and I must say a perfect conclusion to this year's gift saga. Great job!

[@Falney]

Hands down, best gift. You handled that great.

[@Haagimus]

yoooo that Infinity Gauntlet is so 🔥🔥🔥🔥 what a cool gift. I just watched TOT before yours and I love your gift to him as well! You are all so amazing and creative, thanks for bringing us along on all your journeys!

[@darkfoxa]

Finally, a new chaotic KZbin engineer to watch!!! Immediately subscribed ❤

[@MrBwian]

This is awesome, I've subbed to all the channels It's great seeing how creative you all are and part of an awesome global community

[@alfonsoPina]

How have I never seen your channel. I'm so glad I watched all these Secret Santa videos. You are such fun to watch. Congrats on the build, looks awesome, more importantly, looks fun!!!

[@carrottopevans]

Love this series, so glad you were a part of its tradition!

[@pacoalsal]

I loved the camera person's live build montage 😂

[@ElTejon47901]

You can see the future from where she is and it is wonderful! Inspirational.

[@randomenvelope]

The most hilarious bit is how with making a control handle for the third arm, you've made your original hand less useful to do stuff, so you're kinda just back with 2 hands, 1 hand if we're talking practicality

[@KidsInventStuff]

Hands... he has them 🤣 love this!

[@Benjamin_Reese]

Love it! Thanks Emily!

[@Dievolve]

Thanks for this great video! Perfect for a blacksmith without an apprentice or solo maker. very cool.

[@AngelusNielson]

Seeing these gifts opened made me grin. So happy.

[@h7opolo]

I clicked for the ingenuity, but I ended up subbing for the humor.

[@bryanboyd9453]

I love this. TOT and you all have really got me though some really hard times with you wit, and knowledge. I love the fact that you don't get it right all the time. I am an electronics technician. and troubleshooting is many time how things are fixed. Not an immediate solution. You breath life into me as a problem solver, and inspire me thank you all! And I cannot get how funny you all are (I wish I could to it) and the cool geek editing you do. Nerds united.

[@daddypitts_]

I love how this is really funny but makes sense in a way

[@airwaffle]

"time to go clean because im a woman" is the funniest thing ive heard in a while

[@ZSchrink]

This was amazing all round!

[@IrregularShed]

This video is the video that made me subscribe. Excellent work!

[@BakeBakePi]

Great video! The design of the arm is really cool!

[@bonerfart3457]

I love how in some sense with certain revisions this could actually be a useful thing

[@magebear7]

Your creativity truly knows no bounds. I was disappointed that a plexiglass screen stopped me from fully experiencing your 3d printer bot a few weeks ago, so I'm sure Tony will be thrilled with his new arm.

[@itsflashmf9632]

i've watched your whole channel now and as cool as this stuff is this is the only item i would say you engineered.

[@jblen]

This video is so funny, I'm so glad maker secret Santa is a thing so I can find great channels like this

[@bluestone-gamingbg3498]

I love this channel. Michael reeves ideas with William osman vibes. It's beautiful

[@Dtr146]

i always enjoy a video from her. never fails.

[@c-milleygaming9437]

i randomly came across this secret santa playlist and made it to this video and im in tears laughing at this you are so hilarious XD

[@DrEckig]

5:33 perfect Yoshimitsu impersonation!

[@squidcaps4308]

Inserts: modify the solder iron tip if that is all you use if for, make it fit the insert. Then you can also use a lighter to get it to heat up fast, and the iron just keeps it hot. Clamp the piece, use second hand with tweezers to keep the insert in the tip, then press. I made an adapter to bench drill so i can get straight motion. The "press and wait" is good for one but more than four.. you want to make a tool for it, it is so easy to fuck up. In the end, it is not much stronger than tapped threads, only when the piece needs to be taken apart often. Hidden nut is for pull strength.

[@coder0xff]

Computer scientist here. When you randomly pair people you tend not to get one big loop, but several smaller loops! Instead, make a list of people and shuffle the whole list. That's how you get a random big loop! Merry Christmas!!!

[@adamszuszkiewicz1709]

nice of y'all giving each other a hand

The montage! Yay! The groceries!! Double-yay! Absolute victory. All that and a tactical reload!

[@bassett_green]

This will greatly improve Tony's ski-boxing

[@Greendawn-di3dl]

Dude that thing is so cool! I would attach 2 to each arm and become an ant god! Lifting cars, destroying cities. Humanity couldn't handle that power

Also your friends replacement hand looks dope, curious how comparatively capable it is with the old flesh ones people start with.

Severely entertaining hahaha! And yeah it was a project for fun but yet it still sorta kinda worked! Mission accomplished! :D

the grocery bag bit single handedly.... triple handedly proved the utility of this gift.

[@artemiasalina1860]

The amount of epic hype is comedy-sized here! Very funny video!

you know i used to work at a scrap yard moving tires im strong enough to carry 6 at a time but i can actually see this making it easier not just for me but some of the guys that struggled to move 3 at a time id buy it it might need to be more sturdy then plastic but it can be a huge help for moving

i love this lady's brain !

[@Perpetual_Kid]

Cool build. Haven’t gotten into 3D printing cus of all the plastic waste. Gonna check out their channel

[@TvorCrl]

This was fun, thanks! When you said you were building a third arm I was picturing an octopus arm that actually gave you a third arm to work with. It seems like it's just replacing a good arm with a mediocre arm.

[@DadofScience]

I swear to go I subscribe to you several times a year, and then when I come to one of your videos through random chance, I am no longer subscribed. WTF, KZbin!?!? Excellent projects all around.

[@camco1989]

i didnt expected this to work out so well. this third arm is amazing haha
