Video about my first Treasure Hunt in East-Germany:

As an old man, over 70 years old and never traveled, I appreciate you channel. I enjoy when you show some of the country around, that way I get to travel through the lens of your camera, for that I say Thank You for taking us along with you.

I hate ShitTok along with the "shorts" that YT keeps shoving down our throats lately, it's clogging up search results with garbage & false information and worst of all it's _dumbing down everyone that comes in contact with it._ I honestly cannot wait for this trend to die and fade into obscurity.
Another great episode as always, thank you for uploading! 👍👍

Im in Australia, that is a dream property for me, so tranquil and imagine the size of the workshop you could build!

[leslieaustin]

Your channel is a breath of fresh air in a world of what has often become ‘junk-communication’. Thank you. Your pleasure at finding and viewing those educational banners was palpable. I hope you manage to follow your dream of owning that (or another) piece of land and making something special out of it. Would certainly be a great place for off-grid amateur radio! Hopefully we see more of this place in your future videos. Les in UK

The Soviet wrench was made by Novosibirsk tool’s factory, according to the logo ( H letter in a diamond figure). The factory is exists and produces tools nowadays.
A small update: H letter on the logo means the first letter from Russian name of the city of Novosibirsk, Новосибирск.

I am a mechanic an part-time farmer in Wisconsin, USA. All of the videos I watch have to be somewhat educational even if they do have some entertainment along the way. It thrills me to take things that others discard and make them work again - especially older items that were made much more robust than a lot of what is made today. I enjoy your videos where we get a glimpse into the way things are in Germany. We in America sometimes have some unfounded misconceptions about especially Eastern European countries. Thanks for what you do.

[TheXperior]

These were 40 Minutes of high quality entertainment/education. Thanks for putting in so much work!

As a Hungarian I can confirm that the "Precizios" (lit. precision) wrench was indeed manufactured in Hungary or at least manufactured for Hungarian import. If you can give some info on what's on the other side I could try investigating where it could've come from.

It would be such a shame to lose videos such as yours because of a popularity algorithm. I truly enjoy watching the restoration efforts of old equipment and the eloquent historical context that you add.

[GlobalGarageAus]

Love the exploration of Germany. Please go into shops, talk to people and show us more of the buildings and countryside

[sparkyprojects]

Be careful with the plastic you used for the meter, if it is subject tio a static charge, it can move the needle, i had a couple of nice meters with plastic fronts that did this, i scrapped them because i couldn't simply replace the fronts
If you need thin glass, try small picture frames and cut to size

[edgeeffect]

Your "how to build a linear power supply" is still one of my all time favourite videos on YouTube ever.

[HeikosGarage]

Making a tool box could have been a training piece in an industrial apprenticeship program. I grew up in West Germany and we did a bunch of those projects during my training to become an industrial mechanic.

[raphinesse]

nice Move that you collect East German items in Empty Banana boxes. 😀

[michaelcherry]

Those school posters are amazing! That kind of illustration is becoming a lost art. Yes, you could use a graphic design program to create something similar, but there is just something about a carefully hand-drawn illustration that warms my heart! What a great find.🙂

I always enjoy your videos, I am 80, and because I was a pilot in the RCAF during the cold war, I particularly enjoy your stories and travels into the former East Germany. Because I like educational documentaries, I often have to fight the youtube algorithms to find my favourite material, so I understand the logic of setting up a mailing list. I hope you continue with your interesting discoveries. Who wouldn't want to own 2 1/2 acres of property. It would depend on the price, and the risk associated with leaving your improvements there unsecured, while working from your primary residence. I also assume, that there would be no possibility of municipal power, and that means depending on a generator. It would also be important to determine if a reliable source of water is available, or would you have to search for a site to dig a well. I like the idea, but those are some of the considerations that would concern me.

I hope you get that property. The area looks amazing this time of the year and I imagine it will be covered with snow over Winter. It is a very big job to be able to set this up to live in. Good luck. Will follow your adventures regardless of what YT does.

A dream property for sure, considering your current place is small, you should upgrade, And on top of that, you could make small roads to help move the material.

Love those drawings too!

[aswB]

Your philosophical bent enriches your pursuit of sustainable practice and application. It is such a pleasure hearing someone as articulate as you giving voice to what many of us only experience intuitively.

I would certainly watch any work you might do with the rural property. I would really love to see the Bee House put back in operating order. Of course they would want the orchard to be functional as well. 👍
