Old habits die hard!

Watch Wes Work

I did have a garbage truck here this week...

Dale Tractor

Ah, opening a shop that solely repairs rusty plow trucks? “Tetanus Wes’s” 😂

Daniel Peterson

Yes, absolutely! Thank you Wes, I always enjoy your videos!

Watch Wes Work

I guess that's a good thing?

Watch Wes Work

This thing is definitely cursed.

Watch Wes Work

We are not moving. Just making an adjustment.

Watch Wes Work

Heh. I hope it's not overly dramatic.

Watch Wes Work

It's an old habit from other places I have worked. Better to ruin your day than ruin your night.

Watch Wes Work

It'll be fine!

Watch Wes Work

I'd like to grind up some the cars I've had to work on...

Watch Wes Work

Good point. Try new things, but remember you might cut your leg off!

Daniel Peterson

This one has everything! Drama, suspense, great storytelling! And a twist ending? Never in a million years would I have thought I’d get emotional watching a backhoe transmission repair video! Outstanding job Wes!

adorfer

some designs are cursed. but the machines are out there, and cheap due to the maintenance struggle. so shops end up with nasty Machi es and. customers who got the cheap, not willing to pay many repair hours.

Michael S Wilhelm

So good. Gotta be a satisfaction to breathe new life into a piece of history like that. Really worth the watch. I look forward to the next phase.

Jasper Ridley

Awesome video!

Paul Leck

So either you bought a new shop or you’re moving. Change and growth is good, hope one day the channel is making way more than you did working. But I hope you’ll also still continue to make content.

Darran

Watch Wes Grind sounds wrong on so many levels.

Rod Fitzsimmons Frey

Come for the Hitchcock style narrative, stay for the emotional manipulation.

Taylor Jennette Zhu

He does have that antique meat grinder.

Eric Corse

I'm glad I am not the only one superstitious about things like this.

JJ Smiles

I don't know if I can handle the Wes vague outros. I'm was just yelling "WHAT"

Darran

He could be converting it to a butcher's shop judging by the 2nd channel.

Taylor Jennette Zhu

I think Wes is selling out. He's going to open up a franchise of Jiffy lubes.😁

Nick Vogel

Gotta love how everyone is worried. Wes’ responses are basically, nope, hold my beer.

Chris Jenkins

All the best Wes. I know that a silly little comment here doest mean much, but we're here for ya however we can help!

Garrett

Mother of all cliffhangers

Great content and great video editing. Well, I think there might come something new but Wess will take us along, so it will be fine :)

David Yates

Love the video by the way Wes, especially the outro. I'm very interested in what you have planned next!

David Yates

This reminds me in a small way of a story told to me by a former co-worker. Some time in the 1980s He rebuilt the engine in his MK2 Ford Cortina but just couldn't bring himself to turn the key, he was so nervous about having done something wrong. He felt so foolish that he couldn't ask a neighbour, so he called out the breakdown recovery service that he was a member of. When the patrolman arrived he burst out laughing when he was told the reason for the callout. It started and ran just fine by the way!

There are new things with skills and there are new things without them. I've never felled a tree with a stone axe, but I have with a single-bit steel axe. So, using stone would be taxing, but the technique and pacing would already be known. This is not the same as taking a stone axe woodsman and handing them a chainsaw. Novelty is good for the brain, and for the soul.

Watch Wes Work

Oh we'll still be working. Probably more than ever.

Britt A Releford

That airplane is known as the Glacier Girl.

Darran

Have you won the lottery lol?

Watch Wes Work

There was another one where they recovered a P38 Lightning from inside a glacier. It was really in bad shape, but I believe it was restored to flying condition.

Watch Wes Work

It's great.

Greg Leach

Wtf we’re not going to see Wes work any more very sad day love watching you and all your antics and mind boggling repairs and fixes 🥹🥹

Britt A Releford

Great video Wes! As a US Air Force brat, I grew up around or on Air Force bases. I used ride my bike down to the flight line to check out the B-52s and F4 Phantoms parked there. To this day, I have an interest in military aircraft, especially the B-29. I too remember the “Kee Bird” documentary and knew exactly what your reference to it meant. The crew got so close to succeeding but ultimately failed. It was heart-wrenching watch that beautiful bird burn to the ground or ice in this case. I hope your new plans will allow you to keep making videos as they are some of the best on Youtube.

Darran

Wasn't expecting that ending, hope everything is ok.

Jay and Kate

Ha!

Jay and Kate

I worked in foundry too (Grede)…great experience, but never again - especially in summer.

Bill Scott

Wes, if you’re looking for a change, move to South Dakota, RDO or Titan would hire you in a second. The school district would hire your wife in a second. Plus no state income tax, a better State government, and the winters aren’t much worse than Illinois.

Josh Hayes

I’ll be excited to hear it

Watch Wes Work

Maybe it's a tactic to keep anyone from stealing their designs.

Charles Blair

So did I, Foundry Service Co. Troy NC. Have a nice Sunday.

Watch Wes Work

Tough to make a living there.

Kowyn Hibbert (Warrior of the Rusty Wrench)

It's absolutely normal to want to do new things! Whoever's said otherwise must be pretty bored. In regards to British stuff, I've always assumed that British engineers just hate British mechanics a little bit more than most, I've seen some crazy stuff especially with stuff of the Whitworth era, god help me I have seen too much of that, and don't even get me started on Land Rover, Jaguar and such.

Watch Wes Work

Heh. It's all good.

Watch Wes Work

I dunno about you, but here we have a couple shops that specialize in Subarus. They can do head gaskets one handed wearing a blindfold.

Adam McKnight

He's changing fields... to philosophy.

Watch Wes Work

Editing is a bottomless hole of things to learn.

Watch Wes Work

I can't. I worked in a foundry. We had guys who would grind castings all day every day with pneumatic grinders in a hot dusty shop and they would beg to work overtime.
