The Ultimate Maker Gift!

[@xylafoxlin]

I spent SO LONG staring at the hexagonal lead hole wondering how you drilled it 😂😂😂 THANK YOU RUTH, DAISY, SHAWN AND MIA for the most useful tool in the world ❤

[@KidsInventStuff]

We are so glad you love it! ❤️ Happy Trashmas!

[@hacksmith]

DAISY! Kids come up with the craziest ideas -- Never would have thought of a pencil drill! I'm sorry to hear Shawn's not doing well, hoping for a (I guess not speedy at this point) recovery. Hang in there!

[@KidsInventStuff]

Thank you! Daisy was amazing! Couldn’t have made it without her skills ☺️

[@DaisyTempest]

[@DamenVain13]

[@C3DPropShop]

[@RealAndySkibba]

Maker Secret Santa is the best part of the year.

[@chabis]

I wish Shawn a full recovery as soon as possible!

[@DeanEdis]

Brilliant invention. And all the best for a speedy recovery Shawn!

[@crogger1974]

I look forward to this every year! Everyone really brought their A-games, all great builds!

[@mikeevans7562]

Starting on this video, -10C in NY today, great day to stay in & watch secret santa youtube! All the best to Shawn

[@valdir7426]

sending you support Shawn; long covid is really an awful thing (I know a bit about it; been getting better on and off); hope people start to realize how much of an health crisis we're in and how hard it can be for people suffering from it; in part because this condition is barely recognized let alone understood by most people and medical professionals. stay strong everyone!

[@MrZenzio]

It never completely feels like Christmas until this playlist drops.

[@JamesBrophy]

Must not make double entendres, kids watch this channel. Great video Ruth and Daisy, love how confident and clear the challenges look. Not easy but achievable. Hope your feeling better soon Sean. Glad your making good choices to look after yourself.

[@RHCole]

We're for sure gonna need engineers in the next few decades, so more power to y'all

[@JackRoadkill]

I love this channel; smart, inspiring and creative whilst being down to earth and humble. Lots of love to you both, and get well soon, Shawn.

[@KidsInventStuff]

Thank you ❤️

[@NathanaelNewton]

So much excitement, this is one of the best series of the year, happy to see it still going 💜💜💜💜

[@marjon1703]

Hay Shawn! I got ill with long Covid. It is horrid. Apart from anxiety blips, I'm back to my self now. Good fortune.

[@lqqkout8214]

I always look forward to this video drop! Thank you for sharing and making my holiday brighter too 🎉

[@Wumf]

I'm a big fan of Lego and saw the Lego tree a few days ago. I watched this video since I watch Ali and i didn't realize until the end that you were the same person who made the Lego tree!

[@KidsInventStuff]

☺️ glad you found both

[@Ernzt8]

Daisy Tempest is a brilliant creator. Maybe a new Secret Santa for next year? Get well soon Shawn!

[@neoanderson7]

That is a ginormous drill pencil! 😂 Well done!! Going around and checking everyone's present out. Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅

[@travisfabel8040]

Watching this with my young daughter. Daisy says Slayer and does the hand... I laugh. My daughter looks at me like "what?". I said "shes cool." My daughter replied "shes SUPER COOL, she talks to her stuffies too!"

[@KidsInventStuff]

Daisy is the coolest person I know!

[@SuperMegaCoffeeGuru]

Awesome creation and OMG Get well soon Shawn! Long COVID is so scary.

[@UncelJed]

For future reference, should you ever need large pencil lead again. Go to a welding supply store and get a carbon block. They come in various sizes and are used for backing a weld for full penetration without warping thin stock.

[@thomashverring9484]

I hadn't expected to see Daisy here!

[@thomashverring9484]

That's just awesome! Great pen!

[@alankeith7866]

Hi Shawn, I am saddened to hear your news. I hope that you get better very soon. Hoping your Christmas gift will be renewed strength and your symptoms gone away.

[@IceMetalPunk]

Oh, man, Shawn; hope you feel better, mate! My version of long COVID has been just an eternal low-level cough, but I know many people have it worse (and even much worse). Here's hoping things work out well for you 💗

[@HansMilling]

Get well soon Shawn. You are missed. Hopefully the channel will not have any negative impact.

[@rhodridavies9426]

Hi Shawn, sorry to hear you're still dealing with Long Covid. My brother has been dealing with the same. He's been doing weekly hyperbaric chamber oxygen therapy for a while and has found it very helpful in his recovery. Apparently it's not a very well known treatment yet, so I recommend seeing if it's an option for you if you don't already do this. I hope your recovery goes well.

[@Blue-ender-dragon]

I was wondering where this series was this year, glad it’s still going strong.😊

[@calvinshaferiii5734]

Next time you work with wood, after it is glued together fill the seams with a little glue and then sand the seam while the glue is still wet. The sawdust and glue mix together to make a filler. It will leave you with no visible seams after painting.

[@Cynthia63636]

Someone tell Ali that you can totally see the little part she thought noone would see!

[@dafoex]

I sympathise with you Shawn. I'm not sure how lucky or unlucky I was when I first caught Covid, but I still feel drained of energy and joint achy on bad days. I don't think I help myself, so if you look after yourself better than I do, hopefully you'll fare better than I, but I wish you all the best.

[@jimcabezola3051]

Get well, Shawn! A Mele Kalikimaka to you and everyone out there from your admirers in Hawai'i!

[@robertr4193]

Pretty neat pencil Hope Sean starts getting better very soon.

[@scottmacs]

I wonder how many Makers Secret Santa gifts go on to be used in the making of Makers Secret Santa gifts?

[@peter.stimpel]

Wishing you full recovery, mate.

[@seanstump8665]

And, in the US at least, for quick 1/4" measurements 😁 6:20

[@Arachnia_Sea]

Happy Holidays 🎄🕊️☃️ Get well soon Shawn!❤

[@triton6008]

13:42 We just got a letter We just got a letter We just got a letter I wonder who it's from Ok I know it’s not like the mail box from blues clues but you gotta admit that the art style is like the one from the show

[@davematthews8520]

Get well soon shawn.

[@tahanneloc10]

There seems to be a couple of videos missing

[@KidsInventStuff]

Yes they should be up soon

[@KidsInventStuff]

Yes they should be up soon

[@frogy420]

Oh that’s pretty cool

[@ChainsawFPV]

Surprised to see you using a solder sucker. Once I found solder wick, I never went back.

[@RedSlashAce]

Hope you get better Shawn 🍀

[@haroldasraz]

Do you call that a pencil? This is a pencil!

[@dekulprit]

I dont want to give my skills away for free... But they should call the program "The Enginuity Engine"

[@ThisZombieBitesEverything]

Could someone tell me what the word “secret” means? I always thought it meant to not tell anyone? 😂

[@doozerakapuckfutin]

Sorry to hear about Sean get well soon sir …

[@sirBrouwer]

I could see you take this mailbox to the live event and have children actually place there ideas in the box themselves.

[@KidsInventStuff]

Makers Central here we come!

[@TheCrazyClone]

yipee

[@ghostcardsandcollectables]

13:35 giant lego tree

[@BlazeMiskulin]

Minor nit-pick. The flag on the mailbox does not go up to say "you have mail". *You* put it up to say "There's outgoing mail", so that the postman knows to stop and take it. (I blame AOL for the misconception.) Otherwise, great video. :)

[@KidsInventStuff]

Ahhhhh as a Brit we don’t have mailboxes like this. Thanks for the clarification ☺️

[@triton6008]

12:05 hope you recover

[@tbthegr81]

Doesn't seem like a good idea to sand lead like that...?

[@jerremm]

There's no loop, half of you did the end cards wrong.

[@KidsInventStuff]

We are waiting for DJ and Shays videos but the playlist should work kzbin.info/aero/PLBsfTOjKcQe-OOKYCcfpSFW0Dtj_9w4qo&feature=shared

[@heavyweaponsguy21]

"making plastic junk for the west" lol what a weird intro. You're not wrong it just sounded weird.

[@mikemoore-hehim1149]

"fra-gi-le" - it's Italian!

[@subseeker]

Santa lives in Lapland, Finland. NOT in North Pole.

[@dontask8979]

"Its rechargeable so I don't have to ship batteries" 😶🤦‍♂️

[@KidsInventStuff]

Separate Lipos are a nightmare to ship. Should have clarified that better 😂
