I approve of the inclusion of Coffee as an essential workshop fluid ☕
Stefan is not alone in the holidays , over 100,000 guest get to tour the bunker and enjoy a cup of coffee, maybe with a little something added.
Thanks Stefan for remembering us solitary wierdos.
1:01:40 Thank You Stefan. I lost my entire family at a very young age. I have no next of kin per say. A few cousins, one owens a large die-casting shop. My dad was Tool and Die at GM. One of the last things he said to me was "if you see a twist drill with made in Japan or Germany, buy it, they make good stuff" This was in 1975, I was 9 yr old. The rest fell soon after that. Thank You again! This video made my Christmas!
The first break of the CD was startling and fun to watch.
Always interesting to see how people organize their workshops. It's also super awesome to see consumables featured. People often just show their tools. 👍
Thanks for thinking of those of us. It made today a little bit easier.
A Stefan's hour long video, best christmas gift
I'm on a vacation trip in Far-East Asia and between a trip at a museum and supper, that was a great video to watch!
That takes me back. "Tea, Earl Grey, Hot."
Finally an episode where I have the things that you show. I do not have to worry about some new wonder tool, being used in some amazing fashion. In this episode, All I have to come to grips with is the underutilization of the stuff I have.,..... Keep up the great work, enjoy your holidays. Lift a glass of the good stuff with family and friends and may you have many happy returns. Merry Christmas

I have coffee.. and salt... available to me ;)
I learned a trick for dealing with double sided tape recently that has made dealing with it so much easier. This is especially true for VHB tape, since it's able to stick so tenaciously to the backer tape.
Normally I'd cut a piece of tape off to the size I want, including the backer tape, apply the sticky side to my surface, then struggle with getting the backer tape off without ruining the double sided tape.
Now, instead of cutting the backer tape off, I just cut the tape itself, leaving the loose strip of backer tape connected to the roll, apply it to the surface, then just peel away the backer that's still attached to the roll.
It's hard to describe, but if you just adjust your practice to never cut the backer tape, it'll make sense. If the mess of backer tape gets too long you can shorten it up, just make sure to leave enough so that when you use the tape again you have some backer to pull on.
All the best Stefan, you provide entertainment, inspiration and knowledge on a regular basis, which is appreciated.
Yep, I spend Christmas on my own in my workshop and enjoy it very much :)
37:53 some of us are really into viscosity… don’t kink shame 😊 But seriously, thanks for taking a moment to talk about self-care during this time of the year, especially for those of us who are spending the holidays alone. Merry Christmas!
Nice Picard reference "Tea, Earl Grey, Hot" ^___^
Thank you Stefan... This was all very interesting including the time filling tour of the basement... I always enjoy your visits and you sense of humor.. Enjoy the holidays

A solvent I use (carefully) is MG Chemicals 4140A Flux Remover. It's a mix of N-Heptane (non-polar hydrocarbon solvent, 25% by weight) & isopropyl alcohol (polar solvent, 75% by weight). Not particularly safe stuff, PPE required (see SDS, gloves (NOT latex rubber, PVA, or PVC, it'll dissolve them), protective clothing, P100 respirator with appropriate cartridges, & eye protection, use good ventilation), but it'll dissolve all sorts of gunk. Don't use on aluminum. The cool thing about it is it'll dissolve most glues. Stick some in a syringe and you can inject it into glue joints (carefully) to remove glued parts without damage.
The other nice thing to have is self-vulcanizing silicone rubber tape. It has *no* adhesive, instead you stretch it out & wrap it around something with decent overlap. It cross-links between the layers, forming a single piece of vulcanized silicone. Once bonded it won't unwrap without tearing or cutting. Usually rated to something like 8kV, also water-tight & resistant to all the same stuff silicone usually is. Way better than vinyl electrical tape.
Today I Learned: Stefan has a two criteria system for everything he does: 1) Does it smell bad? 2) Everything else!! :)
"Chance favors the prepared mind", enjoyed. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Frohe Weinachten.
Thanks for the workshop insights. Some new content on Christmas Day is much appreciated.👍
Thanks also for your dedication throughout the year.
A shop where I used to work had a waxy tapping paste from Jokisch. Being a union shop with an adolescent sense of humor we called it "jock itch."
Awesome content, one thing you may want to try is ATF (automatic transmission fluid) for flushing out and cleaning of bearing, gear housings, air cylinders or anything else that needs to be well protected from rust and also flushed out. It's fairly cheap light oil full of detergents, corrosion inhibitors and seal conditioners. I use it to flush out air system components like solenoids, it can wash out any crud, lubes up the bits and conditions the rubber seals inside. I use it as an alternative to WD40 type cleaners in a lot of situations as it cleans but also lubricates. Great video as always!
I add acetone to the tranny fluid, amazing penetration oil, takes heat with oil staying in place, not good for enclosed spaces without ventilation due to acetone.
that was great Stefan, will have to watch it several times to get all the details and tips .. hope you had a good christmas time and wishing you a happy and prosperous new year.
Thanks for this excellent content Stefan. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
nice to see you keep some things simply simple... like the selection on cutting fluids... I have read a lot on YT as well as some forums why something needs to be like this and that and so on but sometimes keeping it simple is the best
totally different on lubricants as you said as well... there you have to use the right material for the right purpose... and yes, I got to see some tricks I might have to use soon once the next projects start
thx for this amazing video and have a nice end of 2023 Stefan 🤗
Grüße aus Niederösterreich 🤗
Excellent video,Stefan and happy holidays.Thank you.
The opening shot reminded me I should make me a cup of tea and biscuits before watching. Thanks!
1:30 Hell yeah, exactly how coffee is supposed to be. Quality milk really elevates the experience of a nice filter coffee.
Thank you very much for your time.
"Rather quick video"... one hour is quick? 😅
Thats the escalation i did not expect during filming/editing :D
Have you met Stefan? 😊
Like German roadworks... Quick idea, but not so quickly done....
@@clubdjmarcusclearly taking tips from the British rail industry
Shhhh 🤫…. Yes. Very quick. Keep em’ coming!
“Tea, earl grey, hot” really made my day😂
Indeed an awesome Christmas gift! Thanks Stefan and a happy New year to everyone!
Thanks, Stefan. Here's wishing you a very happy New Year.
Thank you for another year of excellent content! All the best to you for 2024 from Panama.
Thank you for the video Stefan! May you have a prosperous and mostly content 2024!
Thanks Stefan for the deep dive into the bowels of the shop and the consumables tour. Have a happy and safe holidays.
Danke, Stefan und ein Frohes Neues Jahr! 😁
Awesome content as always, love looking around your shop and the metal protection methods you describe I will try and adopt.
Thanks Stefan and merry whatever you are doing :)
Thank you, Stefan. Very useful for me.
And Merry Christmas.
“Tea, Earl Grey, Hot!” 😄 Haven’t heard that recently. Happy New Year Stefan! 👍
All the best Stefan, thank you for the videos. Happy New Year to you.
merry christmas and a happy new year stefan.
and thanks for al your content that you shared with us.
cheers ben.
Stefan-
Thank you yet again. Lots of useful information, greatly appreciated. Gutes neu jahr!
Thank you. Enjoyed, always nice to see you. Well done 👍
Thank you,and merry christmas and blessed new year!
Words of wisdom at the end there👍
Very thoughtful of you to add a bit of extra content as a Christmas bonus. have a great New Year!
Freu weihnachten Stefan! And thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. For someone like me who just started out in the tool & die world your channel is an absolute treasure!.
We used LPS by the pallet at the Boeing Company to treat the interior surfaces of fuselages. Frohe Weihnachten und ein glückliches Neues Jahr.
Checked several times throughout the day to see if there's anything:) thank you :) Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
7:00 I work at a place that has some polycarbonate boxes that are regularly cleaned with 70+ % IPA, they aren't under stress, but repeated exposure to alcohol inevitably leads to cracking, the theory is that it is absorbed, slightly, permeating deep into material slightly expanding it of course, and once the alcohol evaporates from the top layer, it wants to shrink back, but the subsurface still holds alco (and thus is in expanded state), so the shrinking top layer starts to develop micro fractures that then absorb more alco next time accelerating the whole process
Certainly enjoyed this! Always interesting to see new chemicals that could be helpful in my shop. Enjoy the Holidays and thanks for sharing!
Thanks Stefan, appreciate the video and sentiments. Didn't see the replicator for the "Tea, Earl Grey, hot" down in the basement? LLAP.
I'm in the intro and he says "brief" as I'm looking at a just over 1 hour video! Very nice tour and you answered a few of my questions on "stuff" you use in the shop!
Frohe Weihnachten Stefan!
Awesome. I have always experimented with different shop chemicals and materials. There are so many and they have their use. Trying different things is the best way to find what works best for you. Thank you.
Have a great year Stefan.
Stefan , i wish you all the best for the upcoming year ! Best Regards Pirmin
You bring up spending time with the family this time of year and it is important, but sometimes afterwards it’s nice to unwind with something that you are interested in. I’m not being selfish, after spending the better part of the day listening and talking and being with your family, a little down time can reinvigorate and give you a second wind. Thanks for sharing, Merry Christmas to all and I hope your New Year is enjoyable.
“ Good party trick if you have people you don’t like”! 😮😂🤣
I enjoyed this very much as all your fantastic films and work. Nice speech in the end, you're quite a philosopher. Have a great new years eve. Cheers from Sweden.
merry Christmas and thanks for the video
I enjoyed the video! Thank you Stefan for this video.
Thank you as always for the wisdom. Merry xmas!
Thanks for the video. Happy Holidays.
Happy Christmas to you too.
Happy Holidays, Stefan!
One multi use chemical you may want to add to your list is automatic transmission fluid. It can be used to clean, and leave a protective coating on freshly machined surfaces and it works especially well on newly machined or honed cast iron and steel. In my experience it will last somewhere between 1-4 weeks before rust can begin to start forming depending on temp and humidity in the shop so it is good to have at the wash station or used as an in process cleaner where flash rusting may be a problem and leaving an oily surface for either the next stage or shipping will not be a problem.
Great to have a good engineer to listen to during lonesome Christmasses
We love boeshield here for rust preventative. Great video. Someday i hope to set up a hobby shop. Inspirational videos are your specialty.
That was just great, loads of info that interests me, the Jokisch Heavy duty cutting oil looks like something I need to replace the various cutting fluids I have, sort of a do it all. I also do a lot of modelling with plastics, so the acetone/baking soda info is invaluable, thanks. have a great Christmas, best regards, Dave
Jokisch is indeed a very good "All purpose" Cutting fluid, we used it in the toolroom for all materials, Copper, brass, Steel, Toolsteel, it "ate" everything.
I now use "Rapid-Tap" because that is formulated to be used on titanium as well, and i machine mostly titanium..
As a machine Coolant, i use Kroon Oils EMTOR, which also works great on titanium, i do a lot of thread cutting on the lathe, and i just flood it with EMTOR..
Where I served my apprenticeship, they disappeared the folks with rusty fingers.
Perhaps I should add, they disappeared them to the plastics toolroom.
Merry Christmas from Iowa, Thanks
Thanks Stefan!
Happy holidays and best wishes to you and yours! ⭐🙂👍
Thanks for the video! Just the right thing for the holidays!
I have the same bearing puller. I have scrapped countless pullers, this one "cheap" one has lasted for years now. Only the tip is a bit too soft. I will reinforce it when I get the time.
I wish you happy holidays!
For long term spray I use LU 710 from sprayon. Dries like a waxy cosmolin layer. Machines get wiped down with kerosene, and I use lighter fluid to lube my micrometers
Information: in Europa haben wir "Lub%care" von Brunox oder Bilt Hambert Wax beides in Spraydosen. Sehr ergiebig sehr gut für jahrelangen Schutz auch draussen.
Great shop chemicals tutorial. Thanks
Thank you for great video, i enjoyed it a lot and learned a lot. Appreciate your work and knowledge sharing
Thanks stefan.
Great content as always Stefan. An idea for another “quick” video in the new year - having just seen the old space, maybe an update on the new space, I must admit that I’ve kinda lost track of what machines that you have in there and what the layout is so a refresher would be a nice kickoff for 2024.
Love the channel, enjoy the break and looking forwards to what the new year brings you. ✌️
I really enjoyed this video. I am especially interested in your universal cutting oil and will try to buy some. My favorite place - the shop in the winter and the garden in the summer. Thankyou for adding to the holidays and Merry Christmas!
This was absolutely a wonderful video and much needed! In fact, I was just wondering yesterday whether to use Loctite 222 or 243, and you answered all my questions! Truly, the best Christmas present was this 25/12 video!
good video stefan..thanks for your time
37:50 is GREAT content Stefan! For me, a beginner, this is incredibly valuable. This video is GOLD. 43:00 great to hear you did some Warhammer :D
Happy Holidays Stefan
My new chemicals in the shop are alkalines, acids, salts etc. Electrochemistry is great! Nickel plating, copper plating, anodizing aluminium and titanium. A lot of fun and interesting.
Happy Holidays Stefan and thank you again for your superb content. A solvent I used to use a lot of was "Paint and varnish makers naphtha" (PVN). It's like mineral spirits but higher quality and less smelly. For us North Americans normal naphtha is often called "White Gas".
Very informative, thanks.
Thanks for the video Stefan, Merry Christmas! Hope Weihnachtsmann brought you some nice machining tools (sorry if translation is wrong!)
Hellow Stefan I will be 81 year's old in march I was a machinist and die maker for over 40 year's
I have to say I like the way you machine your part's and explain the way you do them thank you.
Merry Christmas Stefan
Excellent Christmas message at the end. I see far too many people who are so stressed by the commercialism and by the pressure to create the perfect Hollywood Christmas that they completely lose the spirit of what Christmas should be. I say that from both the religious and the secular perspective.
BTW, I have come to like the smell of Fluid Film. Each to his own 🙂
Hope ya had a good Xmas Stefan 😁
There are industrial detergents for AC systems, it degreases and mixes whit water. It even takes down some lower grade paints, water resistant markers.
Use glowes.
For temporery bonding engravers use stamping wax (once used for sealing documents), it disolves in 96% ethanol, hold extremly well and is cheap, kalaphonium resin is main engridient.
For easy diss and moisture protection of small threads you might laugh but nail polish works well.
As always, awesome stuff. I use LPS 3 as well for long term protection..but for short term use, LPS 2 is great. Also, Hornady case lube is good to dab on small tools.
Happy New Year.
(Earl Grey Hot...Love it!!❤❤)
Thanks for the detailed video. Didn't know that about CDs and isopropyl alcohol, I always used that to clean them, but sounds like it doesn't affect them in that case. Should read up on that..
Interesting about the greases and such. Nice jigsaw too, I think I have the same one, it rocks!
Stefan, thanks for the run down of those chemicals you actually use. I have a wide array in all categories, but find I only use a handful on a regular basis, so I should probably get rid of the rest; however, I will probably hold on to the Lard Oil that I have had available for 50± years
I use the 3M 926 Transfer Tape, which has similar properties as the 467 tape but is reverse-wound so a special applicator (3M ATG 700) is required unless you want to make a mess. Most of the applications in my shop have been to attach large labels with photos to storage boxes (photos show the contents, both to help me remember what is in the box and how to fit everything back in the box so that the lid can be replaced). I have also used it when repairing/replacing laptop screens to re-attach the thin metal bezels: holds as well as the factory adhesive (which is probably a similar material).
Best regards, Charlie
[Sorry, almost forgot: frohes neues Jahr!]
Really appreciate the basement tour! A quick video about tumbling would be cool, bet you do things different from the last showoff in "machining assembly equipment"
Guter Rutsch!
