  This Dude is off the Chain. I worked around Industrial Techs for many Years and never met anyone with this Man&apos;s Skill Level for Diagnostics and Repairs, Salute. &nbsp;🙂

  As a precision engineer from Germany, I don&apos;t often get the chance to see the inner workings of our machines due to strict protocols. Your videos provided that missing insight, and I’m happy to share that I was able to repair one of our machines using what I learned from you. Great content!

  Dude, the production quality of this video is so high it&apos;s somewhere in orbit around Mars now!

  Explaining a hypothetical fuckup only to hard cut to &quot;body count: 11&quot; showing the two dead transistors was perhaps the funniest thing I&apos;ve ever seen in my life

  The sense of humor is what really does it for me. That, and of course the mad skills.

  Did I understand anything? Nope, Did I watch the whole video in complete awe with a smile? Absolutely.

  As a retired Machinist all I can say is the electronic experience you have mixed in with your Machinist capabilities are awesome. Knowing both is kind of unheard of. Someone out there needs you really bad! I&apos;d be in a rubber room before I got that circuit board fixed. Thanks!

  Its kind of a crazy thing that this level of talent is situated in a corn field in a small town in the middle of nowhere. &nbsp;When the world inevitably comes crashing down in the next handful of years this man could singlehandedly keep whats left going. &nbsp;Great job Wes, and the effort you put into these projects does not go unnoticed.

  That video is a masterpiece in the tech/machinist eyes. Your old videos are what got me into electronics, which I am finishing an associates degree in and starting a bachelor&apos;s next fall. &nbsp;So life changing: maybe a little.
