Being alone is why I quit my day job. I worked for a small company and, due to several reasons, I was working alone nearly half the time. I decided if I was going to run someone else’s business alone, I may as well just run my own business. Best decision I ever made. No more jobs I don’t want to do, I get to make all the decisions, and I work as much or as little as I want.
Can also be done in retirement!
As someone that's been working from home the last 6 odd years, my 2c:
- Stick to a schedule, wake up mornings, do your usual thing (workout, breakfast etc etc), dress like you would for your day job or at least don't stay in PJs.
- Take breaks, go for walks perhaps to the shops
- Sign off at 5 or 6pm or whenever, leave the work at the door
- Go out in the weekends and do something social
- Focus on yourself first, especially your mental health
Thank you for the hints!
I do some of the things already, like regular breaks or walks and social interactions on the weekends. Also I reduced drama inducing people in my life :D
I need to get better at a proper schedule, thats still a mess :D
@@StefanGotteswinter I actualy never liked regular schedule.
I am bit specific, "night type", but everyone have it's time, conditions, etc.. when/where he is most productive. If this is from noon up to 8 in the evening... why not work in that time? Cos this is not "common"? Who give a ... for common? This is your life, not common life.
Do a job at the time you are convinient, as long as you want (or must), and when you feel that it's enough... just stop. It does not matter is it 10 in the morning od 5 afternoon. I usualy make a mess when I continue to work after I feel that it is enough :)
You are the master of your job. Do not let your job to master you.
Some very good advice there. I worked from home for 25 years before retirement. I did travel a lot for my employer (a very large very British institution 😁). The points made are disciplines that keep you on track and sane and yes, never go to work in your pj's, not even at home 😂.
@@lesmaybury793 That's why I never ware PJ :)
Not even when I sleep, for the last 45+ years.
You definitely do not sound arrogant. I have a suspicion that most viewers have no clue as to how much work goes into making an average video. Your content is fantastic and your contribution to general and exotic machining knowledge is really appreciated. I have not tried the Patreon route because it feel weird, mostly because I don't have your expertise. You are one of the rare and valuable contributors like Tom Lipton and Robin Renzetti. Thanks for everything you have contributed and I hope you succeed in the coming year. I think there will be financial and mental challenges.
Always a Fan
Dudley Toolwright
You brought up Tom Lipton, is he still making videos? I haven’t seen anything from him since he moved.
Great tour Stefan. I am always impressed that you get rid of things if they are not useful, even if they are pretty! I guess that’s the difference between a working shop and a hobby shop, where you can keep hold of things for the pleasure of owning them!
Thanks! I try to do that. But there are things that I cant get rid for the life of me - The moore rotary table for example. I used that thing once (1) in 5 years. But its such an insane nice tool...and the day will come when I need it for a job.
@@StefanGotteswinter keep thinking that way!
I wish you luck and success on your big decision, Stefan. Your shop is at a much higher level than the last shop tour. Congrats 👍
You don't need to explain or apologize for your financial decisions relating to this channel, most viewers will appreciate the quality and content and appreciate the effort that goes into producing each segment. I for one am very grateful that you do what you do. BTW, 24 hours in cattle class to NZ, that's what I call courageous. 🤣
I run a prototype shop for an aerospace company and I work totally alone in a building away from the office. I love it. But I’m also struggling with the very high demand on my time and creativity from my job and lack of time for my own projects. Good luck. If Germany is like America, the instant you open a shop and people realize you know what you’re doing, you’ll have more work than you can handle. My friend opened a shop to have something to do in casual retirement and he’s working more than he did before he retired
I always like your sit down thoughts and the shop tours. The fact that you are able to take a 12 month sabatical is wonderful, it gives you the time to try out if something else will work for you, in the knowledge that there will presumably be a job for you at the end of it. To be honest I'm sure any number of companies would be glad to have you if you decide to go back to work again. This channel is the very best advert for your capabilities.
I consider myself a content supporter. I quit cable years ago and would much rather give that money to real people on my television who provided content the cable giants could never provided. I’ve learned much from your videos and often search back on old videos for a nugget of information you shared. Enjoy everything you do on your channel, happy to support!
I was expecting an ordinary height gauge. My mind was blown.🤯
Thanks for that Stefan. I made it to the end without getting board! The comments about what you'd do differently were perticularly interesting. Happy new year.
Thank you! Happy new year to you too.
I think its important to be critical about the things we do and always think about other options and improvements.
I'll second that Peter, The critical insight you gave has caused a slight change in direction in the rotary broach build I'm currently working on and prompted a complete rethink on the forthcoming carbide grinder build. Thanks Stefan that was a great shop tour!
Time for yourself!
Hope it's great, and you do everything you set yourself to do.
Mate I hope your break is restorative and hassle free.
Brave choice, and it wouldn’t surprise me if after a year you find the need for having social interactions during working hours to be quite high. Curious what choice you then make: expand your business, or find another way to balance your own shop with a day job. I really enjoy your video’s even if I have no urge for metal working myself. I just enjoy quality of work, and the strive to become better.
Well I made it through the whole shop tour. Thank you so much for putting this together. I’m really looking forward to to your next years offerings. This is going to help me a lot organize and re-think my shop layout. Cheers and Happy New Year from Vancouver, 2023 is going to be great!
This video has so many good moments that I tried to "like" it at least 10 different times. I applaud your "no pay wall" policy, thank you. Best of luck with the upcoming lifestyle changes. I really hope you find the peace you're looking for, and I especially hope you find a good social balance while doing it. You deserve it, Stefan.
I am not alone ! Me with my electronics and woodworking. And yes , made it through the entire video. Happy New Year, wishing for more fun in coming years. Thanks for the tour and your memories of what you do.
Thanks for taking the time to film another shop tour in detail. It definitely wasn't too long and I doubt it ever could be. I just love shop tours as you can always get so many tips, tricks and organizing solutions out of them, especially when it is somewhat comparable to the own homeshop (size wise that is). Best of luck with your first full time year!
Stefan- I take issue with your description of you as a “goofball “. You are a very well educated, very fluent, very generous educator. The tour has been fascinating, looking forward to the end of the year tour- after a year of work and adjustments. The brief description of your prior journey was informative. Always wondered about how you got where you are. Not too long, could listen and watch for three or four times as long! It’s always a pleasure to see what you have time to record, can count on learning many things in each video. Happy New Year to you back, and may you have a creative and profitable hiatus!
Thanks so much for this shop tour and all you do! Definitely not too long or too much detail. I've learned so much from your videos and this one has given me many ideas for my own small shop. Many thanks!
All my best wishes to you for your sabbatical year.
I have always been super impressed by the work you do. I wish you the very best of luck (which you make for yourself). You have shown that you are a delight that anyone would appreciate. Looking forward to the next chapter of your life. Enjoy your holiday, you deserve it.
Hi Stefan, many thanks for sharing your knowledge! Have fun in New Zealand (a wonderfull place to be) and enjoy the flights! A great new year!
I'll have to continue watching tomorrow, it's late in the evening there. Thanks heaps for all your videos this year and past. Hope you have a wonderful break in NZ and all the best for your business adventure. May 2023 bring you good health and happiness.
Hi Stefan. First I wish you a Happy (and prosperous!) New Year. Thank you for all your videos, I have found them personally uplifting and mood changing and I am very grateful to you for that. I found that your videos work on so many levels, not 'just' the quality and excellence of your work but also in your approach and your mind set. You are putting out a quality product. Don't worry about the audio - it's a workshop after all! First time I flew was after I met my late wife - enjoy New Zealand, it looks a wonderful country. Right, back to your shop tour ..... 🎉
Thank you very much Stefan! You make may day with this video. Good luck and success with your new challenge! I am sure you will never look back!
Stefan you owe us NOTHING. Your content is second to none on RUclips ( or anywhere else for that matter to my mind) you do what is good for Yourself end of , just saying. If you wish to take a year out to try something that may benefit your life, then try it, and good luck to you and I and many, many of your subscribers I am sure will support you. I hope you have enough time to do what you want without a day job getting in the way. Good luck and have a great 2023!
Fantastic tour Stefan. I'm still amazed at how clean you manage to keep your shop and floors looking so clean, especially the wood OSB one. Enjoy your vacation and your sabbatical, here's to a great year!
Amazing how you fit such a capable shop in two small rooms. Thanks for all the great vids. I have learnt so much here. Happy 2023 (:
Stefan, I watched the entire video. Thanks for a peak into how your mind works on organizing things. Have a great 2023!
Neat shop tour, even at 2x. Thank you for your videos. Cratex was added to my shop because of you. Best purchase of the year for me.
Thanks for the video and thanks for being a source of inspiration for me.
My shop is 18sq meters, of which 1.5sq meters is taken by the bathroom. But I was able to fit in everything I need :D
Your videos are one of the reasons I have my shop today! 🤘
Your shop is simply impressive. Awesome work and also your technical level as well!
Great shop tour. Lots of good ideas. Wishing you all the best in ‘23 and looking forward to following along as you test drive the full time business adventure.
Good luck for the new venture. Used to use a sylvac height gauge did the same things just smaller. Great things and a great time saver.
I appreciate all the effort you have put into sharing this macro view of your shop. Full of great ideas, and philosophies for maximizing space, efficiency, and organization. Any aspiring home shop owner could take many lessons from this document. You have already imparted much of that gained wisdom so generously in your previous videos but to see it in context all displayed in this wonderful tour is well worth your production effort. Thanks Stefan, great work as usual. Live long and prosper. ; )
You did not 'bore me to death', mate.
Fascinating, and also sort of inspiring on how you can fit so much into a small precise space.
Cheers!
Stefan - I wish you the very best as you embark on this new adventure. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the shop tour and narration. The best couple of hours I’ve spent on youtube in some time. Thank you 🙏 I’m headed over to Patreon now to sign up 👍👍😎👍👍
Stef we all love you and will never leave you my man! I can speak for everyone here and tell you that your content is unique as you.
That wasn't boring at all. Thank you for showing us around. Happy new year too you too.
Thank you for sharing Stefan! And good that you take a sabatical from work.
Have a nice silvester and a good 2023 🎉
Great video! It's always interesting to see other machinists storage ideas and shop layout. Thank you!
Watched every minute of this video and I learned a great deal. Currently rearranging my basement shop and your ideas will be incorporated. Have a happy New Year and looking forward to the 2023 videos! J. Oostendorp.
As a New Zealander. I welcome you and wish you the absolute best in your visit to my country.
I have watched your videos for years. The discipline and genuine respect for your work have been an inspiration. Your comment at 7:42 surprised me in that you are anything but a "goof ball"!! Congratulations on the evolution of your shop. One thought on self employment; A business is a very stern boss. The highs will be higher but the lows will be lower. I wish you the very best in this and all of your endeavors. F.C.
I once took a sabbatical also.
It was a great move for me and hopefully for you also.
Best of luck with it mate.
NZ is a beautiful place, full of amazing scenery and natural wonders. I'm sure you will enjoy it.
Thanks for taking the time to do a shop tour. I enjoy seeing other people's shops, particularly small ones, and getting ideas from them.
The fact that you have huge sauerkraut cans is pleasing for some reason
Even better, since I cant stand sauerkraut :D
@@StefanGotteswinter lol oh wow, i love it
I am 80 year's old and over 30 year's as a machinist I love to see you work hope that more kids would take up the trade.
Stephan, I've been machining for about 51yrs now & really enjoy what this trade gives me mentally, still working for small company, I also wish to break from the rat race & machine as I want, just joined your patreon, love your vids keep goin, your mind is astonishing & very well centered in mechanical physics!!!
Wishing you nothing but the best for 2023 Stefan ! Looking forward to seeing what 2023 has to offer ! Take care buddy!
Wow! What an exciting tour! And the gauge pins were mind blowing!
Stefan, you always offer up quality content that is both educational and entertaining. Thank you.
Have a terrific vacation and best wishes going forward on your solo entrepreneurial journey.
God Bless you Stefan; you are a huge inspiration to me as a lifelong machinist myself since 12 y/o (28 years old) i hope one day to be even half as successful as you are with your own business! you are doing an amazing job and i wish you nothing but the most success in all your endeavors. thank you for the constant videos and everything i have learned and continue to learn from you. i tell everyone i know in my trade about your videos and how educational they are and everyone that tunes in loves them! keep up the amazing work! and happy New Year to you and your family.
Hi from the Netherlands. Have fun in NZ. Besides machining, fly fishing NZ is another of my passions. I’m heading there mid February for the 7th trip. Enjoy it. It’s a wonderful place. Enjoy yourself.
Good luck with your new venture and have a great time in NZ ! You are lucky that the company you work for agreed with this - many wouldn't and it would be a case of leave or stay.
That's a big step, congratulations on being at that point where you can make that decision. Your channel pay wise should be commensurate with the quality of your work and abilities. It's not an easy thing. Great work, I love watching and relaxing to your videos.
Enjoyed every second Stefan. All the best in your new venture. Thanks for making these videos.
Your scrap metal is more organized than my life.
This is very exciting. You should be super proud of yourself, good luck in the new year!
I thouroughly enjoyed your shop tour. Imagine a small kid being allowed into a workshop AND permitted, nay, positively encouraged to ask "what it is? what id does? and that? what is in this drawer? why it is here? why? what?" FOR 2 HOURS! No, definitely not bored. Thank you so much, Stefan! Happy New Year!
Hello Stefan, I see your channel as an expert and authorotive resource that it is. I applaud your decision and will continue to view your content. Enjoy your decompression time. I am confident you will find the perfect balance.
Excellent video, thanks for taking the time to film, edit and share.
Wishing you the best for 2023.
Very much enjoyed this Stephan. You put me to shame with how efficiently you store stuff in 25 sq M, but also inspire.
Thankyou :)
Sometimes it's good to see a whole shop for perspective. Comparing to my own shop, it's easy to see things that you have which are needed. But, it's also very good to see ways of organizing stuff.
Yes it was a long video, but for these I treat them as continuing education. Not necessary every day, but once in a while good to refresh on details learned and reinforced.
Have a happy new year. And good luck!
Ppl don't realize the effort and energy required to plan/script , film, redo, triage and edit a video until they try it themselves. I've tried, and will again but usually I just want to get on with my project :-)
I found this video very encouraging for me as a hobby machinist. I recently added air at each machine, so much easier. thank you for all the effort you take in sharing your skills.
Thank you! I enjoyed every moment of it. I will be back to watch too in '23
I love your content, stefan, as I'm sure many do. I promise to watch your full pre- and post-roll advertisements every time I watch your videos. Good luck to you in this year of discovery.
Have a great year Stefan I hope it goes well for you. Loved down & dirty shop tour. Thanks for sharing. Brilliant. ATB. regards from the UK
amazing shop. looking forward to 2023!
Spending new years evening watching Sefan's shop tour. It can't be better :)
Thanks for all your intresting video’s .
All the best wishes for 2023 , enjoy your well deserved holiday and sabatical
Grüsse aus den Niederlände
Das beste kommt zum schluss! :D Das Highlight des Jahres! Ich freue mich immer sehr über deine Videos.
Dankeschön!
I always look forward to your videos. I have a similar amount of space to work with and it's encouraging to know you have enough space to get jobs done to your high standards. Happy New Year and best of luck in your endeavors!
It was a great video, and I certainly picked up a couple of good ideas. Best of luck with going solo, it is a big change, as you know the interaction with fellow humans is one of the toughest things to keep going. If you make the time and don't put off the once a week get together with friends thinking you have to keep working it really helps. Once I started to manage my shop time and my "me" time better and kept them separate I was a much happier person. Took me quite a few years to force myself to do it though, I always had a back log of work. I used to let it be a burden, finally just had to learn to manage my own self expectations and workload scheduling as well as my customers expectations. It took a bit to accept that I was just a mere mortal, and three months of work wasn't all getting done this week... Happy 2023, lets hope it is a bit less weird than the last two years.
Thoroughly enjoyed that. Thank you for your content and wishing you and your family a very happy, prosperous new year.
Enjoyed every second Stefan, beautiful shop and very well organized. I only have 500 square feet so I know what it's like maximizing every cubic inch of space. At the end I was wondering about the Moore rotary table but you finally showed it.
Hope you enjoy your year and end up with great success and a clear answer on the direction to take.
ATB, Robin
Best to you in the new year. I always enjoy your channel. I am a retired industrial electronic technician from Big Oil, but my second career choice was to be a machinist. I appreciate seeing the speciality items you manufacture. Part of a career is to enjoy what you do and be able to control the stress that all jobs have at times. Looking forward to seeing what you create in 2023, Happy New Year from Kentucky.
Stefan thanks for the shop tour update. Well done! I enjoy your videos. Besides the excellent content but the lack of overt ads and silly, extended, goofball intros so many others use are very welcome!!
Wonderful shop with so much capability.
Stefan.... Thanks for a fabulous 2022, and one of the best (and LEAST boring) shop tours of the year .
25 sq. m. .... all that gear...... a tall bloke,,,,, and you didn't bump the camera tripod once !!!! Amazing.
I hope you have a good "sabbatical" , a great trip to NZ, and lots more great videos.
Regards,
Robert ( Sydney, Australia)
Glückwunsch zu Deinem schönen Messinstrument. Bleib gesund und ein gutes Jahr 2023!
Hi Stefan,
In addition to wishing you a very happy and prosperous 2023, I take this opportunity to tell you that I really appreciate your channel. Your videos are very informative, and the craftsmanship is a joy to see.
I hope that in this year you will have much pleasure in making the video's yourself, now that you are taking a sabbatical.
Glückliches neues jahr!
Thank you for all content so far.
Great yearly video and shop tour! They way you use a small space so efficiently is inspiring!
Very interesting shop tour. You have a lot of equipment in a relatively small space but in an efficient layout. Wishing you a successful transition into full time self-employment in 2023! Happy New Year!
Absolutely amazing place, space and use of it, well done
Thoroughly enjoyed it, everything organised and in it's place, my OCD approves 👍
Thank you for your videos. Thank you for your honesty. Thank you for the respect of your viewers. I wish you all the best for 2023. I'm sure I speak for most when I say we'll take videos when you can make them, your income comes first, everything else for us is a welcome bonus!
Happy New Year from Oz. New Zealand is a great place for a first trip too but if you get bored jump the ditch and come and visit here 😉
Really nice shop, and thanks for a detailed tour. So much fitted in small space, well done. Wish you the best on your new adventurous.
The pure quality of your work and productions are much better selling point than any ad. That is not easy to do. If you look at others who do this you can see that it is hard to keep up. So cheers to you we know full well how hard this is. You should do a chat with This Old Tony....your dead pan and his child like humor is a great mix. Cheers!!! oh Happy New Year.
Been watching this guy for years, trust me this guy is top notch, world class.
Very complete shop tour and amazing equipment you own.Very happy new year 2023.Thank you.
Thanks for showing your shop. Always impressed with what you do. Happy New Year 2023.
Thank you for this video. I really appreciate the invitation into your shop. You will love your sabbatical and your priorities in work and life will become (at least slightly more) clear by the end. 🎉
Happy New Year Stefan, you are absolutely one of my favorite goofballs doing stuff on RUclips!
Most excellent shop tour.... Thank You...
Best of good fortune in the new year and enjoy your New Zealand holiday.
Russ from Oregon
No you dont sound arrogant, i appreciate your content, and the tips you share, and i noticed that taking a sabatical is a huge decision icould see in your expression, because it will be one year without coworkers, and the socialization that comes with it. i felt that way when i was layoff for two months, being used to work for 23 years, all of the sudden i had 2 months to myself, in lockdown, that's when projects started forming in my mind just to have something to share with fellow enthusiasts. I wish i could support you in patreon, in a matter of fact there is no guilt in getting a income from content you created, and having a patreon, im used to make tutorials and i know all the work that comes with it, and i like to share things to help others, so getting a bit of money is all good, i prefer to support a maker that shares his love for what he does, than a shady multimillion company that usually is managed only with profit in mind. no soul on that.
Thanks for the tour Stefan. Your organization is amazing. Oddly enough I'm on holiday just up the road from you in Eshenbach.
Great shop tour. Thanks for putting that video together.I also have a small home based shop. It does take a lot of thought and space to have everything close by when you need it.
Thank you for the very inspirational shop tour. It shows what can be accomplished in a small space, and still produce exceptional quality work. Happy New Year and good luck on your new endeavors. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✌🏻
I am almost in tears experiencing this most marvelous work space you have created. I am unable to maintain a well defined area for my hobby. I'll be insisting on one when next we move. In the meantime, thank you for showing us what is possible!
