    I was the lucky sod who secretly commissioned a piece for my wife. After the video was over, I handed her your note. and she looked quite confused. The I handed her the box and she opened it up. She immediately started weeping. I wish you hadn't put that picture of your dad in there Bill. After we got rid of the picture and she saw the sweet doodlebot, she cried again, but this time tears of joy and amazement. It now has pride of place in her wonder cabinet. Thanks so much Bill! We both adore the little guy!

    In Bill's village lives a sad little boy whose summer time dreams are constantly crushed. Every weekend he runs to the pound shop to buy a water pistol but finds them sold out. In desperation he turns to the squirt bottle section, only to find another empty shelf.

    Secondly, this video is simply fantastic! A calm quite voice, golden comedy, A grade editing, and a man that looks like Obi Wan? What's not to love! I'm going to have to try and make some of those doodlebots.

    For those wondering how Uncle Bill glues together plastics 3:44 The next tip, are the bits, the tips of the bits, bits from the tip…yeah this one 5:31 Putting together your bits 7:09 Get your rivets together 9:34 Some angle box for miter to do some cutting, like in 4…5…45… 12:16 Get some nice tunes out from a go’looking bits box 16:41 Get some good foam from EVA 19:44 Greble…Greeble? 23:17
    Now, a little secret. Bill already made the tags for all of this, they are in the description part. But, if you skip that part and go straight for the comments here you go. Also, didn’t know what to right. Cuz Bi.., sorry, Uncle Bill said to like, subscribe and I did. So…here’s my comment I guess. Na, but seriously awesome video. I finally found the purpose for all the bits I used to get from underneath the racks, clothes racks in stores. I knew there wasn’t anything weird or wrong with me…

    im gonna give a advice to anyone watching this video. Im a professional concept artist, i draw stuff that doesnt exist everyday. i have 5 years in the game industry working everyday creating new things. This skill of seeing things and using itss shapes and textures to create something new is a really , really hard skill that even i, with a bigger visual library than 99% of the world still cant do as well as bill. If you feel your creations suck, dont worry, keep creating, inventing and trying stuff, it takes time and its not a regular thing to do.

    So I've been meaning to tell youu that I am also obsessed with glue and pow. Thought I was the only one, and seeing you do that the first couple times really solidified my sub to you back then. I saw some a hole a long time ago that said that's how the military fixed scratches and dings in helicopter paint. Then you can sand it and paint it. You knows. I literally have glued things to my car this way and it really works. bills the best
