Keith Fenner climbs a ladder and unscrews the Job Shop USA sign above the entrance. Later, seated in the cleared-out workshop, he confirms that "Farewell My Friends" is his final channel video. The preparations we covered here have become an empty workspace, with machinery sold and shipped across the country.

No new uploads arrived this week, just as that farewell promised. But the channel isn't disappearing. Fenner says he has switched off monetization and closed his merchandise and website stores while leaving the existing videos available to revisit. For readers who came for a particular repair and stayed for the job-shop company, that is a useful distinction: the work has stopped, not access to it.

The farewell is nearing 100,000 views and draws the most daily viewing among his active uploads. Two liquidation videos also continue to pick up views: "Turn Wright Liquidation Pearl Gets Legs," about preparing sold lathes and a mill for shipping, and "Turn Wright Liquidation Keith's Hydraulic Press," featuring the press he built to suit his own shop's needs.

The subscriber total held steady, while the archive added roughly 5,400 views over the week. Daily viewing is well below its usual level. Nearby in size, The Lawn Dad and Rinoa's Auspicious Travails are both seeing daily views above their normal levels, a busier backdrop to Fenner's deliberate stop.

Fenner closes with photographs of equipment, transport trucks and the emptied shop. His parting line leaves no ambiguity: "I can't say until next time, because this is the last time."
