i made a third arm to multitask 

Bahahaha. I love how the secret santa projects range from vaguely useful, to completely useless, and just outright ridiculous!

I love my third arm! In fact I'm typing this message with THREE ARMS! Thanks Emily! Came right over to see the build. Merry Christmas!!

So glad it arrived in one piece! Merry Christmas! 🤙🏽

"I know what you're thinking, thats impractical" I believe "thats impractical" is the unofficial motto of Maker Secret Santa.

those tpu grippers are so surprisingly effective it’s really cool

My normal number of hands are jealous

My wife was very skeptical until you brought in all the groceries, then she was 💯 on board with the idea and wants her own 👍🏻

I love how around 4:40 into the video we get 100% real and genuine light bulb go off in her head when she things about having multiple interchangeable grippers. I loved it cause it’s exactly how I look and talk after I have one and I’d imagine every other builder/ creator looks as well. Need to finish the video but def subscribing.❤

"Balanced, as all things should be" So wholesome omg❤

Emily sending and receiving a plastic hand is definitely a sign of balance. Great job!

150% more ThisOldTony to watch now, genius!

Found you via TOT, about expired from laughing less than 2 minutes in 🤣 Subbed So good to see you not only lend, but even GIVE and RECEIVE a helping hand.

I freaking love your energy. Also, return to monke - absolute success. And I love how you sold your helper arm in the video and how Tony also played it up. Brilliant!

😂 How was this more entertaining than watching furze safety tie protect him from catching on fire and burning everything down. Love the whole episode.

Back in 2012. A conversation at work with the GM. I brought that idea up, the third arm. Who ever figures this out will have a winner. I was working for a manufacturing company then. I was thinking then that is would be a waist mounted arm. Cool idea, great job with it. Cheers to you and the process.

Omg about to watch all your vids, loving how fun your editing and humor are across the board. Well executed and perfectly presented :)

I smiled the whole video. You won me over when I heard the djent, which I totally did not expect. So glad for Maker Secret Santa because now I can explore your channel!

I think I may have just found a new favourite maker. The memes, the references, top notch banter from camera dude *chef's kiss* Shine on, you adorable weirdo 👍🏻

This is the pure chaos I signed up for. I love Makers Secret Santa! Thanks for sharing!

I always look forward to RU-vid secret santa and this did not disappoint! I love the chaos energy

I started the journey at My favorite RU-vid creator ToT and ended here. I love what you created, and the process you showed creating it. You have one new subscriber thanks to ToT and this chain.

God I love your videos. The level of goofiness is amazing. Can’t wait to see your channel explode with subs

This is awesome, I've subbed to all the channels It's great seeing how creative you all are and part of an awesome global community

How have I never seen your channel. I'm so glad I watched all these Secret Santa videos. You are such fun to watch. Congrats on the build, looks awesome, more importantly, looks fun!!!

I love this. TOT and you all have really got me though some really hard times with you wit, and knowledge. I love the fact that you don't get it right all the time. I am an electronics technician. and troubleshooting is many time how things are fixed. Not an immediate solution. You breath life into me as a problem solver, and inspire me thank you all! And I cannot get how funny you all are (I wish I could to it) and the cool geek editing you do. Nerds united.

A wonderful video & PERFECT gift. This Old Tony brought me here, took the long way round, and I must say a perfect conclusion to this year's gift saga. Great job!

Love it! Thanks Emily!

Finally, a new chaotic RU-vid engineer to watch!!! Immediately subscribed ❤

yoooo that Infinity Gauntlet is so 🔥🔥🔥🔥 what a cool gift. I just watched TOT before yours and I love your gift to him as well! You are all so amazing and creative, thanks for bringing us along on all your journeys!

Hands down, best gift. You handled that great.

This was amazing all round!

Love this series, so glad you were a part of its tradition!

Great video! The design of the arm is really cool!

This is the first video of yours I have watched, and I have burst out laughing several times. Thanks to the safety third podcast for where I first heard of you and now secret santa for leading me here. I'm sure i will be watching more of your videos. Great work! You've got that Michael Reeves energy.

Love this secret santa series i went from ThisOldTony get to find this channel👌 you got a new subscriber🎉

This video is the video that made me subscribe. Excellent work!

Great video, merry Christmas!

Thanks for this great video! Perfect for a blacksmith without an apprentice or solo maker. very cool.

This was really good, so fun to watch.

i always enjoy a video from her. never fails.

You can see the future from where she is and it is wonderful! Inspirational.

i've watched your whole channel now and as cool as this stuff is this is the only item i would say you engineered.

Seeing these gifts opened made me grin. So happy.

I love this channel. Michael reeves ideas with William osman vibes. It's beautiful

Your creativity truly knows no bounds. I was disappointed that a plexiglass screen stopped me from fully experiencing your 3d printer bot a few weeks ago, so I'm sure Tony will be thrilled with his new arm.

Love it!!

The montage! Yay! The groceries!! Double-yay! Absolute victory. All that and a tactical reload!

I love how this is really funny but makes sense in a way

This was epic. Love your style and sense of humor and down-to-earth-ness.

I love how in some sense with certain revisions this could actually be a useful thing

i randomly came across this secret santa playlist and made it to this video and im in tears laughing at this you are so hilarious XD

5:56 "Time to go clean, cause im a woman" 😭

This video was Brilliant!!!

This is a cool channel! I found you thru this old Tony. I'm glad I did! I'm subbed now!

this is the elite tier goober. followed from Tony, of course. continue being an elite goober.

the grocery bag bit single handedly.... triple handedly proved the utility of this gift.

Emily's a keeper!

I swear to go I subscribe to you several times a year, and then when I come to one of your videos through random chance, I am no longer subscribed. WTF, RU-vid!?!? Excellent projects all around.

This video is so funny, I'm so glad maker secret Santa is a thing so I can find great channels like this

5:33 perfect Yoshimitsu impersonation!

The amount of epic hype is comedy-sized here! Very funny video!

Severely entertaining hahaha! And yeah it was a project for fun but yet it still sorta kinda worked! Mission accomplished! :D

I loved the camera person's live build montage 😂

LOL thanks Emily! happy xmas 🎄

Such a cool concept, now we can hold even more things

Inserts: modify the solder iron tip if that is all you use if for, make it fit the insert. Then you can also use a lighter to get it to heat up fast, and the iron just keeps it hot. Clamp the piece, use second hand with tweezers to keep the insert in the tip, then press. I made an adapter to bench drill so i can get straight motion. The "press and wait" is good for one but more than four.. you want to make a tool for it, it is so easy to fuck up. In the end, it is not much stronger than tapped threads, only when the piece needs to be taken apart often. Hidden nut is for pull strength.

nice of y'all giving each other a hand

Also your friends replacement hand looks dope, curious how comparatively capable it is with the old flesh ones people start with.

Cool build. Haven’t gotten into 3D printing cus of all the plastic waste. Gonna check out their channel

i love this lady's brain !

most entertaining video in the series of extremely entertaining videos. congrats.

Came from TOT, subbed! Love the humor!!

You're cracking me up! Love your energy.

Hands... he has them 🤣 love this!

Never heard of you before and I think that's a shame. Loved the video, the references, the avada kedavra joke, just subscribed and going to spend the night watching EVERYTHING. thanks bye.

you know i used to work at a scrap yard moving tires im strong enough to carry 6 at a time but i can actually see this making it easier not just for me but some of the guys that struggled to move 3 at a time id buy it it might need to be more sturdy then plastic but it can be a huge help for moving

This is peak content, I just had to sub!

OY!! Guys clean up their shops too... otherwise we step in mysterious junk on the floor and you know.... Safety Ties and all... LOL Really cool when you switched to the TPU as it sparked an idea or two of my own! Love your projects!

Only half way thru but the rubber things as someone with mobility issues especially holding grip for long duration shit looks awesome

Super cool. Give this maker a hand !

This will greatly improve Tony's ski-boxing

New subscriber here from ToT's channel. Love your humor. :-)

Oh my God, i had a good laugh with this! Keep up with the good content and just being like this, you're too funny! Hilarious!

I love Maker secret Santa. So fun.

"time to go clean because im a woman" is the funniest thing ive heard in a while

The comedy on this channel is gold

OH man I laughed like 10 times out loud watching this and that's a lot because typically I watch videos very quietly.

This was fun, thanks! When you said you were building a third arm I was picturing an octopus arm that actually gave you a third arm to work with. It seems like it's just replacing a good arm with a mediocre arm.

Came from This Old Tony, stayed for the personality. 10/10 subbed.

Watching you at the end with groceries I knew - two extra hands would be double amazing! Moar hands!

I was shocked by the silliness... I love it.

Amazing work keep it up

Came from Tony's channel. Love the vid and the project!

It actually seems pretty useful :D

Lol, the non-gripping orange grippers are epic!

I love how the photos of the youtubers at the beginning just has uncle tonys hands, 10/10

Computer scientist here. When you randomly pair people you tend not to get one big loop, but several smaller loops! Instead, make a list of people and shuffle the whole list. That's how you get a random big loop! Merry Christmas!!!

i didnt expected this to work out so well. this third arm is amazing haha

I love how you have to use one hand to use the other hand so technically, you still have two hands lmao. I love it

I keep forgetting about your channel (no offense, I just have weird memory), then I see some insane title, click on it, and instantly have that "oh yeah, her" moment. All this in a good way. I'm here for it.
