Wes, I came back to view when you moved into your new shop. You mentioned you had 10k subs during this video ... dude ... you have almost 250k 4 years later. You're killing it brother! Well done!
"Forklifts are just a four-wheeled oil leak"... Yup, yup.
Anything hydrolic is a oil leak lol
Don’t forget there really heavy and sit about 3 inches off the ground.
More like hydroileak
24:28 “We’re almost at 10k subs”
I’m here 14 months later and he’s at 97.7k! Almost 10x growth in a year. Congrats dude. I wasn’t a subscriber then, but have been for a little bit now.
That's just what I was gonna say.
Well over 100k now
140k now!
One thing I might suggest from my experience in rebuilding after Hurricane Michael kind of wrecked everybody's homes, businesses and shops is that if you want lighting that hugs the ceiling without hanging down into your work area, go with the four tube LED fixtures. Those things put out a phenomenal amount of light and use very little electricity. Since I am retired and no long need a big shop but just one to handle light maintenance, I installed two sets and it is like daylight in that building. Oh, and they are almost bullet proof! One of my outbuildings was crushed when a big oak tree fell on it during the storm. I took the LED fixtures down as I was attempting to salvage anything I could from the wrecked building. One of the lights was okay but the other was bent up pretty badly and full of water. With normal fluorescent lighting that is an automatic death sentence for them. I reshaped the housing, dried the fixture out and reinstalled the lights in my rebuilt building. I can't tell which light is which as both came on immediately and work just like they always did. Just an idea for those trying to get maximum light with minimum operating expense while saving overhead space.
They were installed were I work. Very Bright and they do use less energy. I echo Richard.
You’re really good at what you do, and incredibly smart, you also seem honest and hard working, I have no doubt you’ll be successful.
I see 67.8K (as of today; hey that rhymes!) Going to 678.678K. ;-)
jlucasound after 3mo, almost 80k !
@@jlucasound 89.9k now!
95 subscribers now 11/08/2020 !
@@jlucasound 100,000 just rousing!
Wow that is dedication to spend over 20 years building the garden size train display that was very neet
I am happy for your success. When you made this video you were just at about 10,000 subscribers and worried about growing your channel. As I watch this for the first time May 28 2021, you have grown to 122,000 subscribers. More than 10 fold in a year and a half give or take. Great work! Thanks for all the awesome videos!
I'm an auto mechanic in KY.... I use "rite-stuff" on EVERYTHING!... except my biscuits...good stuff...
Your entertaining most all the time. That is one of the reasons why I watch your channel. You and Eric at sma keep me rolling around laughing my butt off. Keep up the great work.I would send money but s.s don't pay very much. God Bless
This is cool. I like seeing good people succeed and prosper.
4 years and you've gained 270k subs. congrats
Almost 2 years later. I hope things are working out. I enjoy your videos.
That is one thing I like about your channel, no click bait tins. Even if someone is good, it turns me off.
I think watch like three of Scotty Kilmer's videos before I hit 'do not recommend channel'. He himself was click bait.
Looks good Wes. You should do a 3 month follow up to this video, I would love to see how it looks now that you are setup more.
If you haven't solved your lighting problem yet or if you did and just left the fluorescent fixtures in place, I highly recommend you change the bulbs to LED. There are replacement LEDs that work off the ballast in the fixtures and give over twice the lighting the fluorescent lamps produced. I changed mine out and love the end results. I know it is four months later but you never can tell, this might be just the information you needed.
Love the sound of a PT-6
I never would have known! I can identify a Mopar Starter by sound, but an airplane? Kudos to you, sir. (ZZ Top; Manic Mechanic). I don't know if it was a 383 or a 440. 318 sounded the same. :-)
That train! All started with the Woody the Wood pecker sound track
You were approaching 10K in Sept.? I knew you were going to soar. Congrats, Wes. You have earned this. Talk about "Spontaneous Combustion"!! ;-) BANG!! They know you now! :-)
WOW! Those trains are cool!!! I could spend the whole day there too! What does he do in the winter time, I wonder... He must cover everything up, the snow would destroy everything!
That's a NICE shop building! Congratulations! I love the train show, probably as much as your son! I think that steam locomotive with the tinder pulling the Pullman cars was my favorite! Great channel, Wes! Thank you for sharing!
you'll be fine, I will pray for your and your family. God bless your family .
I like and use to maintain the company I worked for the exact overhead heater I saw in the video. our biggest problem was keeping birds from building nests inside it during summer.
Love your show,the lockdown is hell , but your show lifts everything
The right stuff, IS the right stuff.
I’m glad your new home and new shop are so close together so wife and Lucas can come visit Dad or holler for Dad if they need him! Good luck and Big Congratulations on 7 times as many subscribers than when you made this video. I guess it took off quicker than you expected.
I think Dad may have been almost as interested in the trains as Lucas was - haha. Wonderful man to put those trains together and let people come by once a year (w refreshments) to see! I think I heard Lucas say he wants a corner of the shop roped off for his new train(s).
Watching your current videos in 2021, you've earned a lot of trust and customers. Congrats upon the great work. The train setup is great for little and old kids like me. Thanks for including it.
that air compressor reminds me of my ancient 120 gallon Saylor Beall. that thing was made in 1968 never had a rebuild and still keeps chuggin' along just fine.
Thanks for sharing that visit / trip to the railroad model setup. WOW!!!!!
I’m looking back 3 years to see this video and I like your idea and post. And Max loves mice 🐁. EDIT: 223k your growing. 8 March 2023. Keep posting.
The garden scale train setup at the end is so cool @Watch Wes Work
Right Stuff for the win!!! That stuff is great. Not to be confused with Great Stuff.
Takes me back to the 1960s when we used to visit family friends in Kankakee. Groovy setup!
I liked the loonie tune music played at the train yard. Brings back fond memories.
Wes, I would bolt a piece of angle iron to the back of the drawer, to give it the strength that it needs for the heavy tools! Great new shop, by the way! Good luck, you will do great!
Congratulations!
Congratulations sir ! Looking good !!
just a tip on installing expansion anchor bolt, after drilling the hole and blowing out the dust, put some epoxy in the old then tighten the bolts. seals the hole so no water or oil gets into the hole. like the new shop
Love your honesty !
Awesome new shop. Congrats!
Love it!! Going to be a great shop !! Lots of possibilities there..
that upper office could be an indoor treehouse for your kids for the time being nice shop space by the way
Hi Wes,
I am late to viewing this video. Congratulations on the move and the nice shop. You have probably already done the lighting, but if you haven't, I suggest an LED high bay light fixture(s).
Do a little research, they are approximately 3feet wide by 4feet long, about 8-10 of them placed & spaced well, and you will almost need a pair of sunglasses to work out there.
Very little power draw and no issues with -35degree cold weather.
Thank you.
Thanks for the tour. Best of luck to you.
So happy seeing you in a nice shop space. Congratulations
Nice Building, it has plenty of potential. I am with you on the use of conduit, I even put plastic conduit under the concrete before I poured the flood. It made it a bunch easier to wire. I really doubt anyone would bother you if you kept it zoned ag, besides I bet the business tax rates would be much higher, I would check into that before I made any changes. And besides that you will probably be working on a tractor now and then. About 6 years ago I changed my lights to T8 then a year ago I changed them to the 4 ft leds, twice the light and 1/2 the electric used. I heat my shop, house and all my hot water with a taylor outside water stove, I have to cut a bunch of wood but the cost to operate it is very little.
Cheers and Good Luck
Good luck Wes, on your new adventure.looks like a great shop. Thanks for all that you do.
Happy new shop, very impressed!.
Thanks for sharing and best regards from the UK.
Thanks for the tour, glad the move went well. Good luck with the business I am sure it will flourish.
Great looking new shop all the best to your new endeavors.
Your Son could spend the Whole Day at that Layout! That's FUNNY! Pound for Pound the Son couldn't begin to match the FUN The Ol' Man is having! Your new shop could use a nice layout for Break Time!
Good luck Wes fantastic property look forward to the next video thanks for sharing 👍🇦🇺
Best wishes in your adventure, stay well
ABOUT TIME lol what a huge shop nice to see you back :)
Shop looks great with a lot of potential 😀
Wes - your new shop looks awesome! good luck I hope everything works out for you!
Great video. Thanks, and good luck.
definitely interested in the line boring machine! love the new shop. can't wait until i get to that point. hope everything works out for you with basically starting over with your business.
I'll have to break it out. I used it a few times to fix some skid steer loader joints that were badly worn.
I would too. Not something often seen used or that gets used unfortunately
That’s gonna be a great shop . Mine is 40 x 50 and I love it . Congratulations Sir
I have those heaters in my garage... love them!
10,000 subscribers when you made this. I think it has taken off!
Happy for you and your family for the nice home and shop!!!!
Awesome new building 👍
Just came across your channel and subscribed. I am not far from you, QCA area. I had to comment and laugh that you are talking about 10k subscribers in this video. You are over 162k as I type this, and I think you will do much better. Keep up the great work. I may be reaching out as I just pulled my first vehicle out of a barn that it has been sitting in for 25+ years. I hope to get it going for my kids to drive now that they are getting old enough to drive. It is a '84 Ranger. Keep up the great content!
Nice new shop . Good idea with the grey paint . Cheers .
Hope everything works out for you, hard work always is successful!
Wow! I never knew that model trains had sound effects. Good luck Wes, may the shop get sorted out and the work pour in.
Loved the tour of your old and new shop. Hope you do a follow up video of the new shop when your all settled in.
congratulations wes!! that shop is absolutely fantastic! love the big door. the size it great. those radiant tube heaters work great. i vote for the forklift as a one of the first pieces to get if you are moving heavy stuff around. i would never want to move all my junk i have now....i think i would have an auction first and move what i wanted to keep. i like to put all my wiring in conduit outside the walls also. very happy for you guys wes! yes it seems like the 10k mark is when the snow ball really starting rolling.
Yep. That Clark forklift was one of the first things I got when I started out. I didn't even have a trailer to haul it. I had to borrow one.
Congratulations on a awesome upgrade! Wes. Matt C.
IM proud of Ya!!!!!!! Keep up the good work.....LUV your videos
Almost 100K! Hang in there young man, I plan to watch every minute you've produced.
Dream shop! Congrads! You seem like a good trusting honest guy and word getting around will do you just fine! God bless you and your family in your dream!
I would love to see that train set up, my grandson would be in awe for hours!!
Interesting tour, newly subscribed a few weeks back and just getting caught up on older videos. Very nice that you have upped your Subscriber count from 10K to over 84K in less than one year, well done! Best wishes for the future of your shop and family, nice pup.
P.S. I like your commentary while working through the repairs and projects, well presented.
Opening shots....the crop duster scene from the film "North by Northwest".....beautiful building so richly deserved for your great skills. Best wishes.
Awesome shop, best of luck....you seem like a great guy and clearly knowledgeable and passionate with all things mechanical
Bonus footage of model trains...So refreshing to see NO GRAFFITI!!!
Great video. Love the shop and the trains. Illinois is a great state to be from.
watch your channel way toooooo much! Love your videos and just watched this shop video today. Great building, you'll get it fixed as time goes on. I'm sure customers will find you as you seem to be able to fix anything as well as taking care of small items that the customer did ask to be done. Your work ethic is great and your integrity appears to be beyond reproach. Also bless you wife for being a saint in teaching today's high school age youth!!! Happy Holidays
Love the new shop it looks much bigger than the previous building and as you said you are close to the main roads best of luck mate.
A Three-star Psychology Award for "Lame Attempt at Click Bait". For minds like mine, this works even better than actual click bait.
Not sure whether UA-cam comments on older videos count - or are even noticed - but I notice it's now three years on since you described your stress/excitement/finances ratio as being, well, "in the red". Fortunately, it seems that things have gone well despite the rest of the world sliding into various kinds of chaos from about exactly the time of your move...
Great new shop Wes! I've worked for others, then owned my own business (& still own, but my son is now running it.. still running as well?? that's another story..) Please take it from an OLD guy,.. you're still young and have a lot of years to become the success that you envision business-wise. With your drive, talent, personality.. a supporting wife, it's a no brainer. PLEASE do find a good business strategies person (who is focused on SMALL business, 1-20 persons, not 100+ as the SBA interprets ) I have one who has even traveled from New England (where I used to live) to N. Carolina to help someone I met here.. They can make you more profitable in 1 week and then you go from there.. Good Luck!
Where would I find such a person to hire to help me plan my business?
Watching this video from the future... 2022 you now have 177K subs! I really enjoy your channel, and I watch every time you release something new! Cheers!
After being encouraged to look at your page from Vechor I've been following you and I went back to experience the journey. It's amazing and look forward to watching you channel. You are definitely blessed with a skill set!
Wow! What a great shop! Fantastic train setup too. I strongly suspect you like the trains as much as your son!😆
Hey Wes.
The good thing about moving is.
You have a chance to sort out the stuff you need ??
Great workshop you have now.
Once you get everything sorted things will start happening for you.
Thanks for bringing us along on the workshop tour.
Peter.
Pretty neat place Wes. I envy you. Not the winter stuff but the openness.
Nice shop addition to your home. Enjoy the space and the dryness during the winter season. I know your pride from the completion of my 50x60 hangar home. Plenty of room for all your toys and projects.
Very nice! And all the corn you can eat! Put a bollard in front of the electric meter. Use it well!
Very nice shop love seeing these older videos you seem a ton more productive in this shop over the old shop @Watch Wes Work
Fantastic video, Mr. Wes! My dad was an ironworker and there were a lot of Wes'es! Everyone had a nickname and his was "Thumbs". My nickname was "Sugar Bear". The trains were great, and I can see your son loved them!
I sure wish you well. I am a full time customer of your u tube . Keep up the open honost work
Great video bro I enjoyed the trains at the end too. Stay safe
Quite the Garage Mahal you got there! Congrats on the (not so new in Sept. 2021) but new shop nonetheless!
Edit: hoo boy, that is one involved train set! It’s so photorealistic if the large vegetation and house weren’t present it’d be tough to tell the difference between this and a movie set! Way cool, so much work has gone into that installation and neat the owner opens his yard to the public for young kids like Lucas to ogle at! I used to have an OshKosh engineer’s overalls and hat around that age, I wish I still had it so I could send it to you if your son is into trains. He already has the coolest dad, I wasn’t even allowed to use the driveway to fix my car growing up and he’ll probably get to build a really cool car from an early age! Keep it up, love watching your content!
Good luck!!
A video on your home made line bore machine would be awesome.
Bonus me again; I watched the old shop one and then this one again. Your dream will come true cause of your value system. Also with only a two hour move, some loyal customers will follow as I know they did me. I am not going to bust your chops with a book. We think alike and stick to these values and your going to the one hundred mark and will get there before december! Thanks so much
Hey Wes, super happy for you and wish you the best. Can't wait till you put that shop made King way to work. Congrats to you and your family, looks like a great place!
Yeah I need to get that thing finished up. It's been almost 2 years... You're a patient man!
Good luck to you and your wife on your new home and shop.You'll get it up and running in no time do good work and word of mouth will have you so busy you'll be bussier than you want!!!Love to watch your repair videos also a big fan of Matt from dieselcreek is awesome would love to meet you both I was a heavy truck mechanic for 30 years I made other people rich but you build on your business and you will have to build a bigger shop!!!
channel growth is phenomenal & well deserved. what a fantastic shop!
Well phenomenal for me anyway!
