glad to see you could get a peep out of Tony. we miss him a lot, and hope things are fine after things in his family went.. not so well, I suppose.

that bending machine is immense! awesome build too

Loved your build, Sam! Happy Xmas!

I didn't realize such a machine existed. Pretty cool.

Thank you for the collaboration, we had so much fun being part of it! We hope you enjoyed bending the gift for This Old Tony with the D.I.Wire Pro. Happy Holidays!

Fab gift! Getting all those parts in such a tiny space is so impressive! -Ruth & Shawn

@Providence83 Год назад

I love that Tony has shown what he looks like (a "shootin' the poop" video, I think it was) but anyone not rehearsed in _the deep lore_ would only be familiar with his hands, so that iconography is what's used. XD

@teresaellis7062 Год назад

I am so glad you were part of the Secret Santa this year, because it meant I found your channel! ⏰ When I saw your waxed canvas tool holder I realized, "Hey! That's something I can do!" I am getting better at sewing and so that is within my reach. I have no training or interest in learning machining like what This Old Tony does, but I do enjoy watching his videos.

@westtex3675 9 месяцев назад

I completely forgot about these things! We used to play with them in the 90’s. I didn’t realize they went much further back. The LED’s are a neat addition.

@bentsprockettech Год назад

Becky, you say you're sitting with the cool kids now, but you've been my hero and inspiration for a long time. I have learned so much over the years from the way you explain things. Plus my memories of this toy were instantly brought back by this one. Thank you so much for sharing this with us! 🙂 ⏰

Without a doubt you are one of the cool kids, fantastic project. Love these Secret Santa videos. I always tend to find a new person to sub to.

@Jobjoossen Год назад

Yes, been looking up to her projects and creativity for 10 years now. you are a real inspiration... ⏰

@JonBck Год назад

Removing rhe contents of the thing, and inserting your own tech is such a nice way of fitting electronics without having to worry too much about practical basics. I use it alot as well. Love the build!

@robwalker4329 Год назад

⏰ Enjoy your Secret Santa, I had one of these when I was a kid, great fun. Working my way through all these Santa Maker Vidoes, Colin's is my favourite so far.

@snowy2018 Год назад

⏰ I came here from viewing all the Makers Secret Santa videos as I normally watch Colin Furze’s videos. I think you’re GREAT! I’m pleased that the RU-vid Makers continue the Secret Santa project each year and bring in new and smaller RU-vidrs. It means that I get to enjoy videos and people like you! Happy Christmas!

@Harko- Год назад

Awesome! Makers secret Santa is an annual favorite, and you gift was excellent as always! ⏰

I'm geeking out over how brilliant the company name *DI-Wire* is!! 🤣👍

@jackreed3445 Год назад

I just gave my Wheel-O to my Grandson that My Grandmother gave me in the 1950's. I am surprised the shaft has not worn out. I can remember adjusting it to run faster or slower. One of the many exciting toys I remember from my childhood. jack

@cupidzsnakes6865 Год назад

Love to find new creators this event each year! ⏰

@TechnoChic Год назад

Love it! I enjoy the mix of nostalgia with neopixels. It also looks like an extra challenge to get it to go on that new shape of track, which is a nice upgrade. Also that tool box is SOOOO nice! Happy Holidays! ❤⏰🎄

@BeckyStern Год назад

Thank you! Happy holidays Natasha!

@aaronfuentes5919 Год назад

Staying traditional & making a toy for Christmas was pretty slick. Tool box is so practical & well made. Making my way to 'this old Tony' now.

@SeanHodgins Год назад

Wow, I had completely forgotten about the Whee-lo until now. Thanks for the memory. I also don't think it was called that here? Great Project!

@darmichar73 Год назад

THANK YOU SO MUCH! for finally providing me the name of these. I remembered having them as a kid and have never been able to find them again after multiple searches. I'm headed to Amazon now!!

@pesoen Год назад

you could do an updated design where the power goes through the wire, allowing the battery(or power input) to be in the stand, that way the wheel part can be lighter, with other possible positives for the weight reduction.

@john_michael97 Год назад

The wheel having weight actually it a positive in this context, helps it to build up speed easier

@pesoen Год назад

@@john_michael97 then maybe replace the battery with some weight instead, and still get a better battery life.

I'm super inspired by all the hard work and talent everyone put into these gifts. I've been procrastinating on my own projects WAY too much. So, I appreciate the inspiration.

@ControlledWrinkles Год назад

I am so jelly, I remember seeing the first DiWire at the Bay Area Maker Faire many years ago, and kept on trying to get my local TechShops (rip) to get some so I could experiment with them. Your project is perfect to showcase their machines, and the perfect amount of whimsical fun for TOT. Great job, have a wonderful holiday season and I’ll be looking forward to seeing what you create in the future.

I love how This Old Tony's hands were in the collage of makers. There is a video of his that he showed his face, though it may be CGI.

@robertoswalt319 Год назад

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I remember playing with those when I received one for Christmas many many moons ago. I still remember racing my brother to see how fast we could get them to go without the wheel flying off and landing across the room. ⏰

@SoggyWaffles1984 Год назад

I love the slight zoom during the time-laps ⏰⏲🕰

@strayling1 Год назад

I got a version of this back in the '60s as a Christmas present. No LEDs though -- it used a couple of flints to throw out sparks when it was spun fast enough.

@kwaaaa Год назад

This was such a nostalgic throwback, I loved playing with this toy as a kid! Lol, it really was the fidget spinners of the day.

@BrianHurry Год назад

What a great ad for your sponsor. One of very few I've watched all the way through. Your sponsor should be proud!

@thorhammer6040 Год назад

The one I had as a kid had the batteries in the handle and the power went up the two wires and into the hub of the wheel. there was a centrifugal switch that turned the light on when the wheel was spinning.
