"We are far too selfish to give anything away"
LOL at least you're honest Wes 🤣
"It's OK, I'm not BITTER about it" - Wes 2023
And you wonder why we love to watch him?.
He actually gives us alot through these videos
I will have to unsubscribe... who would ever PAY to Watch Wes Work... I only watch him because it is free!!! lloolol yeah.. not really
'Muricans, in a nutshell.
"Boring" ... keep adding her comments.
😎🦡
Mrs. J
I thought for sure Wes bought a boring machine after that comment.
🙄We are too busy not selfish! I would give everything away if I knew “ safe way” to do so!🦡
Y'all can give me your stuff 😂
He married the right woman! He’s a good guy even if he doesn’t share his things😏😂
Nice videos Wes, glad I found this channel and look forward to your posts
"We are too selfish to give anything away". I don't believe that for a second, you and the Mrs are wonderful people. I only wished I lived closer to you.
Wes, You said it “was the long way around the barn”, but you have a new tool that you customized to your needs. Someone might add in a engineering & tool charge, or call it “parts”; but I doubt you did. In any case, you now have a useful knee tool and know how to get stuff done.👍🏼😃
Scratch “knee”.
Agree I would trust wes with my van
Thanks for showing us what the rest of the barn looks like! Also it looks like the White knuckle tow service could use a little excitement in her life
Hufflepuff Brake Bleeding has been slacking lately too...
“We’re far too selfish to ever give anything away.” is the most perfectly-dry disclaimer I’ve heard yet to dispel the spam spoof-comments. 😂
Enjoyed the storytelling / cut scenes on this one my man!
Mrs. Wes is always a welcome guest as well.
Glad to spend a little time with you Wes. I think that's why most of us are here. You're the kind of good neighbor everybody wishes they had to stop by and have a cup of coffee with at the kitchen table.
Lmfao the wife coming in saying boring is just hilarious 😂
Loved the videography, use of props, and interludes with the wife. The fabricobbling work is fantastic, as usual. The file clarity is very nice and I can't put my finger on why but it just pops.
Also nice to see someone use an actual stick welder.
Your fabricating and problem solving skills are awesome Wes. I can’t get enough of this channel. Thanks.
That's how I've learned to fix stuff on the fly from people like wes and mustie1 and sma and ray man ray etc
Excellent!!!!! SWAG Press should modify their design and incorporate your changes. Thanks for yet another fantastic video. I wish I had a mechanic near me with your talent.
The Wess edition
Just have to make sure swag gives Wes royalties for they improvement! Lol
Team Hufflepuff cameos really make the production shine ✨
It's 3am and my meds kicked in an hour ago but I'll be damned if I don't watch a new wes video before I pass out
Well, Wes , At least it looked interesting. But having Ms. Wes pop in was a good touch . Thanks for sharing, and have a great day 👋
Nice addition, Just imagine how many brackets you can now make for all those lovely solid Plow Trucks
Excellent Wes loves those Township Plow trucks I liked the one where the radiator was completely ate up with salt! Never seen anything like that before, the fins were all gone nothing but the tubes! Unbelievable
Wes, again, you show us the high evolution of the common man solving problems of every type. Amazing! My dad was a farm boy from Northern Minnesota. He could fix anything. Was a mechanic, welder, carpenter, roofer. You name it. He could do it. That's why watching you always makes me tear up a little bit because my dad's been gone a long time. Thanks again, Dave
I've seen a lot of channels warning about that scam. This was by far the most amusing... 😂
I hope the manufacturer of the break sees your modifications!
Definitely not boring 🤣!
Fun video Wes, not boring, ha ha. Another option for making a bend near the end of a piece with a die that is too big, would be to cut the piece a little long, make the bend, then cut the short end down to size. Getting the bend in exactly the correct place is harder than one would think because the piece can slide a little, especially if there is asymmetry.
The cuts to Mrs Wes Works were stellar, really gave me a chuckle! Really stepping up your edit game, well done.
Even though it was a long way, I felt you were really happy with your purchase and your work, and that is what's important. Thanks for another great video, Wes.
Nice job Wes,You gotta love those repair jobs that warrant a new tool for the shop 😜👍🏻
as for saying you tubers give nothing away..you all including yourself ,give a great free
entertainment every time you post a new vid,so thank you wes and all fellow utubers!
That press modification was awesome, worth the time invested!
I hope so!
That one had me laughingoutloud more than once. Loved the interjections from the Mrs.
The Mrs. Wes cameo was awesome
The editing was excellent. Defiantly raised the bar on the production. Nice work.
Definitely agree I was like wow he's up n coming now
His editing is among the best on here
Lot’s of smiles. Had to rewind. Thought Mrs. Wes was doing her nails.
A grinder and paint make me the welder I ain't. (Brian Block)
"Grinder and paint make me the welder I ain't!" 🤣Is my answer when ever someone asks me how good I can weld.
I like the new editing tricks pulled from the This Old Tony bag.
Also: "a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy" -- can't be too careful, 'cause the walls have ears and are probably talking to the Deere lawyers.
Grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain’t!
Seriously understanding why is better than most can do. And I’m sure those welds are better than the robot crap we see daily.
I enjoy working on my own equipment almost as much as I enjoy watching your work Wes. Thank you for another great video!
To quote Matt at Diesel Creek: "a grinder and paint make me the welder I ain't."
Don't be surprised to see your design incorporated in the next generation bender from Swag Off Road.
I think that's the John Deere Moto.....A thick coat of green paint hides a lot of sin! :) Great video as always.
Long way around the barn...but you got yourself a new tool!!! My wife told me the other day: "No more tools!" The heck with that.
Nice job on the press jig. Just a thought, if you notch the spacers you can just loosen the bolts and drop the spacers in and out as needed without all that fiddling.
LOL! LOVED Mrs Wes ... "....borrrrrring..." Great to see she's honing her video acting skills.
It’s always a good job when you get a new tool. Most of my experience has been the tool cost is quite a bit more than what is made on the job, but every business needs write offs.
Thanks for the videos, Wes. Always a treat. Nice to see the Mrs get a couple cameos.
Thanks for taking us on yet another trip around the barn? I see the pooch hanging out by his Master. But no Barn animals to be seen. Nice fab work Wes!
You’re more clever than just wrenching nuts and bolts. You’re a talented designer and fabricator. Well done.
13:45 That was some crazy editing Wes!!
Nothing like putting lipstick on a pig! The "boring" committee was a nice touch 😂 Nice work!
You are truly a Master Machinist. So entertaining to watch you design and fabricate "fixes". We have missed your frequent videos. Sure enjoyed your hunting and dressing videos.
Hurrah! Mrs. Wes appearance!
Wow! A wife and a teenager all in one! So lucky!
Great editing! I thought you would have removed the 3/4" bar, welded it, chucked it into a lathe then restored it's exact diameter. At least that's what the Pakistani truck repair guys would have done. 🤣 Always a joy watching you work. You're patient, thoughtful and calculated. Cheers from where we always see that bright light. (FL) Left IL 5 years ago, haven't looked back.
It's really difficult for me to watch those Indian/Pakistan truck workshop videos. I cringe too much
@@Frank-Thoresen But those guys do some interesting stuff, on a dirt floor. Captain Kleeman does most of his work on grass or crushed rock surfaces. But the Captain does it in freezing weather.
Never boring with the scintillating @Mrs Wes making an appearance!
It well might have been "the long way around the barn" but, I enjoyed the trip.
Thanks for sharing.
I probably get messages a couple times a week telling me that I won from such and such and will never reply to such nonsense. You think Utube would have some way of stopping this. A shady shop would charge to replace entire deck. You gave that mower deck some new life. Looks great Wes.
I live without a welder every day, and you are correct, it's very sad!🤣
@@polishhotdog933 Hahahah
Hi Mrs Wes! Always love to see new tool unboxings.
Wes you are brilliant, that is why i injoy your videos. You should give your wife welding lessons so she can help you.
"Long way around the barn.", BUT it worked!! That is the key. You are very inventive in solving problems! Great video, nice comment from the Mrs., my wife thinks the same thing when I solve a problem similar to this. Keep up the great work and great videos!!
Don't know why but a lady I know came to mind when you mentioned has "a lot of gravity to it". Keep up the good work.
Always a good day when new tools show up. Be safe Wes.
The suns out. You've got a new tool. You look happy. What's not to like!
Great work as always Wes and wonderful production values to the video. Your sense of humour makes it even better. Thanks from London, UK.
One off the best on you tube thank you Wes
"Ye took the long way 'round the barn didn't yee?!" Oh Man, THANK YOU WES, I hadn't heard that old sayin' since I was a kid!
We're far to selfish to ever give anything away. 😂🤣 Very nice use of the design noodle Wes. Great job. Thanks for sharing.👍
Brilliant work modifying the brake....another entertaining video showing that you'll take on most any task...thanks...keep 'em coming.
Another fantastic video. Your honesty and determination are truly on point, Wes!
Thanks again Wes. Always appreciate your dry humor and your patience and attention to detail. Have a great day.
I really enjoy watching your videos sir. You've given me a great idea for making a bending jig for small scale metal models that I build. Thanks very much!
Why do I think the "White Knuckle Towing Service" did not have to rehearse saying, "Boring"? 🙂 That gal is a real asset to your channel.
She's a natural.
Love the comedy cutaways Wes, coupled with your usual solid engineering. Keep 'em coming!
Well, Mrs. Wes’ “boring” comment(s), were well placed in the video…, and true., buuuut., that test bend with your modifications.., was very cool. Always great to see the Mrs.,
Great video, “Swag off-road” should be calling you shortly with a collaboration of supplemental “Watch Wes Work” add-on attachments(s)..
Thank you sir.
I've got a pre built version of that press brake for my 20 ton shop press and I absolutely love mine. I don't do a ton of fabrication at home but having that really opened up my options on making brackets and things and has proven to be very effective
Very well done piece of re-engineering the press break, thanks for the ride along sir.
Nice job Wess, the press brake you made will be a handy tool to have also. Take care and be safe. 👍
Nice Job Wes. I love the brake. Thanks for the tip!
Nice! I have been eyeing these press brake kits for awhile. I like the customization Wes 👍😁
seeing people make stuff or re-engineer stuff is great! You did good with the Bender Wes, really good.
The comments from the Pretty Lady were priceless. lol Mower decks are made out of crappy steel, at least any of the ones I had to weld. Keep smilin
Wes isn't afraid of any project! Thanks for the video.
A grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain't!
Your level of craftsmanship is mind boggling! Good job 👍 !!
Nice work Wes ! Your such a genius. Really enjoy your videos.
really enjoyed the editing on this one, great work Wes!
Like always very informative watching Wes working ,some very slick ideas for your Press brake
Looks factory after your repair. Like Mrs Wes cheering you on. Love your videos. Keep it up ❤
New modification patented by Wes thats an awesome solution to the problem well as always Wes comes up with a cool problem solving hack
You are giving away your knowledge !!!! Which we greatly appreciate!
Wes never produces a boring video! Nice to see Mrs W. in the shop again.
"Far too selfish" was just a perfect intro and the rest was also pretty darn good. Thank you!
That was a pretty elegant solution to getting what you wanted from that press brake. Nice work!
Your "Commercial double thickness attachment" idea along with the press tool modification is thinking out of the box. Thank you for sharing your innovative ways to improve and make new parts.
Nice job, seen a lot of home made brake press configs. They work when you have nothing else. Nice mod you made, like it better than the angle iron. Thanks for sharing.
My bender is a heavy vise and a big hammer. I’ve got an aluminum brake!! Any heavy stuff goes to metal shop. COOL TOOL👍
Wes, you never fail to amaze me!
That's a nice looking little press brake ... and I like you Mod to it.
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
I have one of them for my press I love it works great on heavy gauge metal! Gonna try your mod out! Thanks
Very nice design. I’m sure it will be a critical tool for working on those challenging to repair plow trucks!!! 👍🏻
liking the new content videos. You're really very creative in your adaptations of standard tools. more please. nice to see Hufflepuff giving us the benefit of her input, go girl! thanks
Be careful someone might think you have an engineering degree or something :) Love your videos. Sarcasm is fantastic and I ever learn something from time to time. Keep them coming.
Very cool 'add-on' to your press to give you a functional brake setup. I dig it Wes. Good idea on your own spin on re-engineering it to your preference too. I think your solution works great, and definitely bends a big enough gauge for anything most of us would need. I've had good luck in the past with those Milwaukee 'Torch' blades on my reciprocating saw. They seem to last a while, for a decent amount of cuts, out of the majority of different blades I've used. I damn sure wish I had a CNC plasma table! Thank you for sharing 👍😎
Nice repair even if it takes the long way around the barn! I bought the same brake and it has come in very handy, I also love the port o band saw table they make, it is a game changer.
Hi Wes don't worry about taking the long way around the barn. You just need a big enough barn for the boy toys. Your new addition looks like it will work well for your needs. I thought your explanation of the relief needed for your bends was well done. Your comment about the CNC controls shows your generation. There was and still is precision machining accomplished with non CNC equipped machines. It is just that the operators are getting too old to do the work. Great video keep them coming.
