Ahh yes.., all excellent gift ideas. Special thanks to the lovely assistant, “Vanna” Hufflepuff gift idea display/demonstrator. Thank you sir.

[@CodycoWeb]

Great tool recommendations. Wife wore red wing boots when she delivered for airborne and DHL. I wore them for years while working as a tech. Bought them direct at the Red Wing store in Red Wing Minnesota. Best boots I ever owned. Still have my match holder from like 50 years ago, been many miles and miles on trips. My dad had a Swiss Army knife all my life. It’s in my china cabinet to him. It was always in his pocket. It is the deluxe tinker model. Mom hated it because it wore a hole in the back right pocket where he kept it and she had to continually fix the pocket. Thanks for bringing back the memories.

[@ggem8125]

Freaking adorable life without a wonderful wife is like living in black and white I always say my wife adds the color to my life. Merry Christmas.

[@RGSABloke]

Wes, FYI, your wife mentioned ‘they look like a Raptor’. Knipex sell Raptor pliers to remove ‘rounded’ bolts, they are awesome. Great video. Kindest regards from Bonnie Scotland. Joe.😊

[@buddyweiz]

In Finland we call those "Papukaija" Parrot in english

[@stevanrose7439]

Wes is spot on about the Redwing 🥾 I have worn them for over 40 years. I bought two pair twelve years ago and wore one pair out and the other pair is still looking brand new. I retired and don’t wear them for work anymore.

[@NorthOf55Aventures]

I wish I could get into the Redwings, I have really short and wide feet. Even their EEE size didn't fit quite right in the toes. Just something for others to be mindful of.

[@richardlincoln8438]

Yes, those boots and shoes may seem expensive but durability and quality are worth it.

[@josephking6515]

If you spend your working day in boots then $300 is not a great amount to spend on something that protects your feet. You don't want to have sore feet after just 30 minutes. I remember paying $140 for a pair (can't remember the brand) 40+ years ago and at the end of a 12 hour shift my feet felt like they were still walking on air.

[@allenwilliams6882]

I've been wearing Red Wings for over 60 years. Occasionally have tried different brands but they just don't hold up or are as comfortable as the Red Wings. I also have one of those original match holders, been using that also for over 60 years for hunting trips. Can't beat it.

[@stanleydeden3603]

I grew up in Red Wing MN. Thanks for the shout out to my hometown locally made industry. Support USA made products.

[@peterwilson4546]

Merry christmas ! I used my swiss army knife with a small pair of vice grips to get a passenger locomotive going. After a 1.4 mill rebuild, a 15 cent knob cracked. Knife took out the set screw, vice grip grabbed shaft, left to prime, right to start. My self a track inspector and the signalman I was working with got out of that 149 degree engine room to the applause of the 600 passengers that had gotten off because of no AC. I loved my job !

[@wurly164]

Say it back to her Wes. She is such a nice lady. Merry Christmas 🎄

[@wingdwolf56]

So very nice to see Mrs Wes in a video again! It’s been a while! Happy Holidays to the 4 of you!!!

[@roberthawkins8740]

It's good to have a sit-down episode with your wife. she should talk about the life of being a supportive wife. LOL

[@SM-98]

I'm a worker with hands and also autistic and I can confirm what you said. Always impressed by your skills and passions in almost everything.

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

Smart man Wes, running away when MrsWes assembles IKEA furniture. I do the same thing. Boy, how to get big things done. I worked in a naval shipyard for over 30 years and was trained in just about every snake oil process for improving production. Late in my career, common sense started to take hold in the navy and we started to get things done on time and within budget. I need to read that book.

[@McCraezy]

This was a great sidebar to your normal content! Merry Christmas to you and your family 😊

[@robpeters5204]

They made a movie about Temple Grandin and how she was detrimental to the handling of cows. It’s an awesome movie for the whole family. I think you guys would really enjoy it. She is the cow whisperer.

[@martingillard6572]

Therapy with Wes and Mrs Wes. Excellent....

[@jamiepilkey]

The Prusa printers are a real workhorse machine. We have about two dozen at the tech tips factory. One note about your MK3, it can be upgraded to a MK4 with an add-in kit, the kit is also not cheap. I like using them when I don't care about speed, I just need it to print accurately. If I want to print stuff fast, we have the Bambu units for small things and the Pantheon for big things. The Pantheon's head moves so fast that it pulls 3 Gs. It's nuts.

[@WatchWesWork]

I'm eyeing a resin printer next. The learning curve looks even steeper but they can do some cool stuff.

[@Juiceboxmakes]

Check out a voron if you want a project for at night. I'm about to build a switchwire conversion.

[@jamiepilkey]

@@WatchWesWork Wes, if you have a sec, take a look at the things they're doing with metal 3D printers. The folks on the engineering side have a Rapidia machine. It prints out powdered metal which is then cured, as is my understanding of it. They did a full prototype of the LTT screwdriver handle in the machine, I was impressed at how solid it felt. Wild stuff.

[@joedennison2972]

Thank you for the show. You are a great pair!! I’ll expect another around Valentine’s Day.

[@ryanclawson9275]

I got a pair of those Knipex Cobra pliers a while ago and I carry them every day. Coupled with a Gerber Armbar Drive and it’s a solid combination. Funny enough, I remember my grandfather (heavy equipment operator) carrying an almost identical pair of pliers every day and he used the hell out of them. What goes around and all that…

[@ryanclawson9275]

And I must get that book on project estimations. That has been my experience on every single project I’ve worked on. Every single one. One employer, the Program Manager and management estimated 12 months for a ground up, clean sheet design program. When the company went bankrupt/out of business 6 years later, the project was still in development and was never released.

[@ruaraidhmcdonald-walker9524]

Reading "How big things get done" as well. Current read. Great stuff. Bricklink is ace, wait until you get into Lego CAD Wes.... (You think I'm kidding too right?)

My strategy for last minute shopping is to wait until Dec. 23 or 24. Go to the store, take whatever is left on the shelves. Merry Christmas! This comment made in China. 😁

[@michaelbricknell4124]

Hey Wes, About the Red Wing boots, I have been wearing them for about 40 years. I rotate 2 pair because after a 12 hour day they need to be aired out. The newest pair I have is 15 years old. I'm in a factory and not on gravel, so they wear very well. I'm also not crawling around so the toes don't wear out. The ritual I stand by to skirt the 2 weeks of agony is this: Soak them over night just past the ankle preferably in warm water. with 2 pair of sox, wear them until they are dry. (best to do this in the summer) Your feet might smell worse that night, but they will be the best fitting boots you have. The leather will shrink in the loose spots and stretch in the tight ones. A perfect mold of your foot. I know you are thinking that's weird, but once you try it you will be a believer. Mike

[@hecklepig]

Pocket knife is always a great idea. You never know when you're gonna need it. I've owed life seven knives in the last 40 years and currently have two of the wee pen knives and two of the larger ones.

[@robertdewar1752]

OMG. Mrs Watch Wes Work. This is gonna be the best xmas ever!!!! I hope you have a fantastic Christmas, and you too Wes.

[@randyirons1058]

Dang it Wes, Going all Hallmark Christmas on us. The Mrs. was right, it was wonderful, and I can't talk for everyone, but I loved it. Some good Ideas, and some solid quality options. I agree with others, this could be a holiday tradition. I'm almost a 40 year veteran as a tech, and I'm always interested in seeing what other techs use to do their jobs. A solid tool is a good investment no matter the brand. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@CC-gu3ze]

Thanks for this brief window into the life of the internet's cutest couple.

Lego instructions are also an example of visual thinking. There are no words because they're made for multiple languages

And the crickets.

@@dolvaran haha! Thanks 🤣 you're great

[@wolfgangkayser1432]

I can't thank you enough for recommending the book, "Visual Thinking". I started reading it and was almost in tears before the end of the foreword. I have always felt like a failure because I didn't complete my degree in engineering. I always got flummoxed by calculus and could not go on to the engineering classes. I am not on the spectrum but so much of what the author describes applies to me. What a revelation! Thank you so much!

[@silasmarner7586]

Regarding "How to Get Big Things Done" , I would ALWAYS err on the side of longer completion times and budgets (IC design and manufacturing company, the Advanced R&D division) and even my own boss would hard time me on that, but I was always in the end more accurate as the final costs and completions were longer than even MY estimates. Later we both saw eye to eye on some big projects we were both part of but didn't dream up, and finally got the ear of the VP to kill off some that would truly drain the coffers and offer nothing. NASA could take a few lessons from that book, Wes!

[@WatchWesWork]

I worked in R&D and I remember the BS "projections" of time and cost that the big wigs would throw around. It was ridiculous.

[@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE]

The bookmarks Wes!! 😂 *Those are sweet!* I carry the same mini Knipex cobras every day. Like you mentioned, more handy than you would ever imagine 🔧

[@lustfulvengance]

Regarding the book "How Big things get done", once big projects get going you kind of have no choice but to finish it. Most people optimistically give low initial bids and optimistic time to completion estimates knowing full well that it's going to cost more and take longer but once it's past the halfway mark you have no choice but to continue the project regardless of cost or time estimates. That's true with my own personal projects too, I always go into the project optimistically but once I'm past that halfway mark I kind of have no choice but to just finish it and it cost what it costs and it takes as much time as it takes. I think that's just human nature.

[@WatchWesWork]

Yeah, we all do it. He even says that. A lot also has to do with politics. If politicians told people the truth, no one would vote for any large projects.

[@for2utube]

Also, don’t start a kitchen remodel without an expectation of 200-300% over budget.

[@lustfulvengance]

@@for2utube Yes because the other part of going over budget is making mid-project design changes, also adding things to make the project better, all the "while you're in there" stuff that you realize after the project is half done.......

[@orbitalair2103]

see also: The Mythical Man Month. its really old now, and is about software projects, which is my expertise, so I grok a lot of that stuff. 30 year professional coder.

[@freak3dot]

You two are so cute. It's obvious you love each other. I've been programming computers for over 20 years. I'm getting into automotive more and more lately. Like the flip side of your coin. Programming requires a lot of abstract thinking. That's why I like mechanical stuff because I can put my hands on it.

Visual Thinking is an amazing book by an amazing author (Also highly, HIGHLY recommend Thinking in Pictures by the same author). I cannot say enough how great it is and it is awesome to see it recommended here. Even if you are not a visual thinking type person, it is a must read to help understand those that are. As someone who had a child diagnosed with ADHD early on in his life, it took years to realize that I was just like my son my ignored the signs. The book is not really about ADHD at all, but a lot of the thought processes are similar and it was a great read for my wife and I, and now my son finished it recently. Merry Christmas to you and the family, keep up the great work

[@aaronbauer2448]

I loved this. You are a wealth of knowledge and experience and I'm lucky to be subbed to your channel. I also loved that mentioned the Python books because there's not a lot of mechanics that branch out into the programming side of things. But your troubleshooting approach shows how you take the time to understand the systems before trying to solve the problems so you can understand how it all works together. You seem like a solid dude and I really enjoy watching the dynamic between you and your wife. You're both very adorable together, but tell her you love her, you numskull! On a side note, there was a biopic about Temple Grandin a few years ago that anyone here with interest should watch. They show her childhood and struggles growing up. And later they show her success with animal management as a result of her thinking style from having autism. She also blazed a trail as a woman in her field way back when it was only men. I highly recommend that Temple Grandin film with Claire Danes. Happy holidays!

For the 3D printer if you're looking for something that just works out of the box and want to use it more as a tool than a hobby like myself, I'd recommend the Bambu Labs P1S or P1P for a cheaper price. Yes, they're made in China, but my P1P has been the best desktop 3D printer I've ever used. It prints almost 3x as fast as a Prusa, the quality is amazing, and the printer just works. I have done absolutely no tinkering with the machine as its just worked! Thanks for the other ideas Wes and Happy Holidays!

I just take them back to the store where I bought them and after a 10 to 15 minute wait they are fully cleaned and conditioned. No other brand offers that to my knowledge. I got my Swiss Army knife as a Boyscout back in Germany when I was 10 years old ... 47 years later I still have and use it all the time, it did not come with a toothpick though 😊
