Practical Engineering who wouldnt wanna be Cool like him, keep up the amazing work by the way. side note, where did you get that small architects ruler?
Good project, have a couple to make for projects I have on the go at the moment but cheating a bit as managed to get hold of a 5/8" square broach from a mate in the States but will incorporate your design features. I too liked the Clickspring reference, I'm sure Chris will have a chuckle as well. Thanks again, Gordon
Not gonna lie, I would probably just find a socket to run it down and an adjustable wrench to crank it down if I needed to. This is a much better and cooler solution though.
Not very much to be honest. My boy was in the garage with me, playing with his sword so that one wrote itself as they say. Sometimes I'll have a way-homer and just go back to film a quick close-up, etc maybe add a stupid sound. The shots pretty much set themselves up, too. If I need to lean in to see how a cut is going, I'll bring the camera in so the viewer is pretty much in there with me, step by step. Seems to be working out? Thanks for watching Brian!
This Old Tony, Yeah the composition is perfect. I really enjoy the projects and the humor you sprinkle in puts it over the top! Thank you! I think the spring video is still my fav.
Actually, a square drill will cut a 5-sided hole. You need a 3 sided bit to produce a square hole, just like you need a 5-sided bit to cut a hexagonal hole.
I agree with this. If the content is awesome, I'll tell the author just how much it is but if not then I'll tell them that as well. If they put it out here then they have to expect it. Tony's video presentation is remarkably great in my opinion.
This Old Tony what meterial did u use for that i want to make 1 like it for my Ajax mill also what is the name of the thing you used to shape the ball st the end of the handle
Truth. I see a lot of faucets and valves with permanent "Vise-grips", (usually the el-cheapos from the bin at the farm and fleet store or auto parts store) cheaper than a replacement handle.
Funny you should mention that. Earlier tonight my chuck key broke. First thing I did was slap a vise grip on it. (It didn't work, I had to mill a slot to give the vice grips a place to hold onto.)
Love the Clickspring reference. Good content as always man! I'm saving up to buy a new Lathe as my old bench top one crapped out on me the other day...
Crapped out? Beyond repair? This is why I want to start filming everything I do, so I can catch the moment when a boring job suddenly turns into the start of an interesting journey.
Super blend of entertainment and practical work. p.s. I've a load of 3" steel CRS to cut, what's the chance of hiring out your boy. It would be a lot quicker than bandsawing it.
Geez...now you're using wet/dry finishing sticks too? One obsessive Kiwi makes a clock and now we all have to do beautiful work at every turn. I couldn't be happier of course. :)
I will come along for this ride, and I will enjoy every second. This Old a Tony; possibly the only machining TH-cam channel that can evoke laughter without a word. A narrow audience, I know, but you do it well, sir.
I love this Tony. Informative video, gently and humorously presented. No malice, no ill will, no dickswinging, just a great maker video. Thanks and have a lovely Christmas
To say I am impressed is an under statement. As a woodworker for over 50 years to see anything made with such precision is remarkable. If I could make anything within a sixty fourth of an inch is awesome, and here you are machining to tolerances I can only dream of, great video.
this is what i love about this channel. this vise handle, the over arm support, the draw bar, the quick change tool post, the backing plate for the 4 jaw chuck etc. the micro boring head was i think his greatest tool build to date. i think that this is this old tony at his finest. and allways set to music and comedy. many thanks TOT....
Could you imagine if youtube suddenly removed and disabled all comments on your channel because you have a child in a few of your videos? This is the hell I'm living in. Don't let this happen to you.
I had no idea a wooden sword could be that sharp- I think I enjoy the silly stuff as much as anything else, like the wood in the mixing bowl and the other photography tricks. Great stuff!
You know you've made it when Jimmy and Dustin are watching your videos. (I wish!) The mix of Humour and great engineering skill is a definite winner. I've binged on most of your videos the last couple of days. Great Job!
The key is good quality, very sharp files. Drilling out the corners took out most of the material. If you try to dig into a round hole, on the other hand...
Could you explain why you did the milling of the channel (I am probably not using proper terminology here...) before you drilled the holes for the pin to go in? seems like you run the chance of bending/deforming the part and messing up the pin hole alignment by doing it in the order you did.
Hi Michael: I would assume that Tony (bless him), left the drilling for later since the milling of the clevis cut (channel) had to be done any way and the drilling through two thin sides would be way easier than deep hole drilling all the way through the stock material. That Tony is one smart cookie.
Hey Tony, so the other day I was in the desert chasing down a rogue droid, and well, long story short, met this old dude who gave me what he said was my father's "lightsaber," whatever that is. Anyway, it's got either a durasteel or more probably an aluminum body, and I'm wondering if you'd be up to the challenge of splitting it in the middle, putting an internal thread on both sides, and creating a matching mating extension tube. This is all to help me wire this baby up in a much neater way and come up with something suitable for a future Si... err, Jedi.
Getting a TIG machine for christmas so I can be cool like Tony
i love it when my subs intercommunicate, it shows that we all share a common interest, the category of content creators and the subscriber base
Practical Engineering who wouldnt wanna be Cool like him, keep up the amazing work by the way.
side note, where did you get that small architects ruler?
It was conference SWAG, but you can get them on amazon.
Oh Grady... you'll never be as cool like Tony... j/k, we love you both.
*Gonna take a whole lot more than a TIG. :) I keed. :)*
*MAYBE -- P.E. + Tony could collaborate on a project..??*
Loved the blue on the third side of the handle. Well done. It's the subtlety that makes me smile.
Ruh Row! If you and Chris had a baby it would be a Crisptot and nobody but you guys would get any work done...Nice Tony...love the squeak.
If Clickspring's new project is a Byzantine calendar will you go one further and make a series about your social calendar?
A sua criatividade e o bom humor ganhou mais um inscrito. Muito bom o seu vídeo, parabéns.
Great project and thoroughly enjoyable video as always! Happy Holidays!
Good project, have a couple to make for projects I have on the go at the moment but cheating a bit as managed to get hold of a 5/8" square broach from a mate in the States but will incorporate your design features. I too liked the Clickspring reference, I'm sure Chris will have a chuckle as well. Thanks again, Gordon
Subbed for nod to Clickspring and because AvE is in the comments talking about Tubalcain.
Yo Dog. Using your tools to make tools to use on your tools. Here's a thumbs up.
You did it again, Tony.
I just discovered a new tool: Ball tuner. thank you Tony.
Well, another Great build. Making some of the rest of us look bad.
Jeez, that bar of bearing bronze is expensive stuff to just be sitting on the shelf!
@3:10 ooohhh that satisfying snap-fit sound
Haha I liked the Clickspring reference.
Not gonna lie, I would probably just find a socket to run it down and an adjustable wrench to crank it down if I needed to.
This is a much better and cooler solution though.
Three wise handles?
Only one is 14mm. Rest are either too big, hexagons, or gringo units :)
Good eye! One for the mill, one for the vertex vise (the black hex one), and one for the shaper.
Genius!
bravo cosi si lavora
You make some fantastic videos good sir! How much planning do you do beforehand for the shots and gags?
Not very much to be honest. My boy was in the garage with me, playing with his sword so that one wrote itself as they say. Sometimes I'll have a way-homer and just go back to film a quick close-up, etc maybe add a stupid sound.
The shots pretty much set themselves up, too. If I need to lean in to see how a cut is going, I'll bring the camera in so the viewer is pretty much in there with me, step by step. Seems to be working out?

This Old Tony,
Yeah the composition is perfect. I really enjoy the projects and the humor you sprinkle in puts it over the top!
Thank you!
I think the spring video is still my fav.
that clickspring spoof on the lathe :D
nice handle
Nice one. I actually laughed out hard at the Clickspring reference
Tilman Baumann Same ^^
me too!
Perfectly played!
Tilman Baumann same here LOVED it hahaha
Tilman Baumann Haha, me too !
I would have just used a square drill bit. duh.
For a permanent solution? Sure, if you're feeling ghetto! :)
They exist.
Actually, a square drill will cut a 5-sided hole. You need a 3 sided bit to produce a square hole, just like you need a 5-sided bit to cut a hexagonal hole.
Make that two if you find one
Or the new rotary broach?
So dam good!!
Reminds me of your vids with the hammer pin flaring. :)
thanks JD!
What a fantastic video! Thank you!
oi alec can i have ur powerhammer the one thats fast ya know XD XD
I can hear you say fantastic when reading this comment
fantAstic
Now that you are here in the states... do a Collab together!
@@barmetler Fantastic as ever!
Love the freeze-frame with the ever-so-sligt enlarged completed-photo. And the happy music. Seriously man, you have an excellent sense for film.
Thanks Brad!
Yes, levity is a great tutor!
I agree with this. If the content is awesome, I'll tell the author just how much it is but if not then I'll tell them that as well. If they put it out here then they have to expect it. Tony's video presentation is remarkably great in my opinion.
SgtPiggie, put some ice onto that burn. And go out to play.
Fixer un vieux étau à pied à un établi
Oh sure, too swank to just stick a vise grip on it semi-permanently. I see how you are.
hahah
This Old Tony what meterial did u use for that i want to make 1 like it for my Ajax mill also what is the name of the thing you used to shape the ball st the end of the handle
Truth. I see a lot of faucets and valves with permanent "Vise-grips", (usually the el-cheapos from the bin at the farm and fleet store or auto parts store) cheaper than a replacement handle.
Funny you should mention that. Earlier tonight my chuck key broke. First thing I did was slap a vise grip on it. (It didn't work, I had to mill a slot to give the vice grips a place to hold onto.)
I learn these tiny little things like wiggling the cutter as you plunge into the cut on the handle. It's a pleasure watching you work. Thanks!
Thanks Dustin!
at 7:00, it leaves the chamfer the same depth on the curved surface. I love this dedication to detail.
Loved this video! But I'm left wondering, how did you tighten the vise to make the vise handle? More time travel? ;)
Adam Carmichael That or he uses his bare fingers and his manly man strength XD
Or maybe just an Adjustable spanner lol
I made the video _after_ I made the vise handle.
Sometimes you have to plan ahead.
BURN THE MACHINIST
Wait.. so, if he weighs the same as a duck...
I absolutley love your style! You are a big inspiration for my channel. Every time I watch your videos I look on ebay afterwards for a lathe.
Hey, as a percussionist, I'll say: nice shaker technique with those files
Thanks Jeremy!
He should try that same movement with a jar half full of dry rice huh? shiki shiki shiki
I think you actually meant to say a Jar half empty of dry ice
sawzaw file action would have been applauded!
Clickspring prototyping level 100.
Love the Clickspring reference.
Good content as always man! I'm saving up to buy a new Lathe as my old bench top one crapped out on me the other day...
4:35 for those not paying attention. Love it!
Crapped out? Beyond repair?
This is why I want to start filming everything I do, so I can catch the moment when a boring job suddenly turns into the start of an interesting journey.
always love your metal cutting gags.
I knew that sword was too cool not to make another appearance!
*shord
Chris Anderson He should use a lightsaber that would be hilarious
Super blend of entertainment and practical work.
p.s. I've a load of 3" steel CRS to cut, what's the chance of hiring out your boy. It would be a lot quicker than bandsawing it.
His day rate is 2 bags of M&Ms and a PB&J at noon.
my wife has one like that.
Dylan T I see what you did there...
Nobody tell him! Let him be happy. Just let him be.
The sound of that clicking into place means I can sleep at night again
Awesome work, thanks for sharing
Nice Clickspring reference. ;)
Who’s here watching it for the 100th time?
Never stop watching TOT
the clickspring reference was a nice touch
Now it will be easier to follow Ave'sclosing advice!
Nice video, enjoyed it, cheers and Merry Christmas!
G'day mate! Next time you make fun of clickspring, remember to show off your funny Australian accent ;-)
What the name of the music?
Geez...now you're using wet/dry finishing sticks too? One obsessive Kiwi makes a clock and now we all have to do beautiful work at every turn.
I couldn't be happier of course. :)
Just my lathe file and some sandpaper, I'm afraid. I debated a bright polish but then I would have had to do the whole thing that way :)
Chris is Aussie, not Kiwi
can someone tell me what is the name of the music? it's reminding me of Django's jazz :)
Love the editing, it's always a blast watching your videos. Great project, too. :)
I will come along for this ride, and I will enjoy every second.
This Old a Tony; possibly the only machining TH-cam channel that can evoke laughter without a word. A narrow audience, I know, but you do it well, sir.
Thanks SgtSly, glad you enjoy them!
UGH this is so good it makes me angry!!! awesome. I had to stop the video after the first 3 min to comment i couldn't wait,
I done the same thing and then watched it again. Haha
I love this Tony. Informative video, gently and humorously presented. No malice, no ill will, no dickswinging, just a great maker video. Thanks and have a lovely Christmas
Thanks Paddy!
4:40 Im going to have a stab in the dark here and say you're a little sad over Chris finishing his clock.
Good fix.... today we are weld the 100 year old waterwheel....wish us luck....or come and help.
To say I am impressed is an under statement. As a woodworker for over 50 years to see anything made with such precision is remarkable. If I could make anything within a sixty fourth of an inch is awesome, and here you are machining to tolerances I can only dream of, great video.
What's the name of the song, Tony?
this is what i love about this channel. this vise handle, the over arm support, the draw bar, the quick change tool post, the backing plate for the 4 jaw chuck etc. the micro boring head was i think his greatest tool build to date. i think that this is this old tony at his finest. and allways set to music and comedy. many thanks TOT....
Could you imagine if youtube suddenly removed and disabled all comments on your channel because you have a child in a few of your videos?
This is the hell I'm living in. Don't let this happen to you.
I saw that "Click Spring" reference
I do love your work.
I had no idea a wooden sword could be that sharp-
I think I enjoy the silly stuff as much as anything else, like the wood in the mixing bowl and the other photography tricks. Great stuff!
*The income potential of this video is amazing. In an apocalypse scenario, this man could make unlimited 10mm sockets.*
The finish on that ball is the envy of the Khyber pass!
MarvinRunyon if their ball turning is anything like their weapons manufacturing they need serious help
Great video, I love the "Dial-A-Job" you have.
More great music, today on, TOT!
4:36 do you come from a land down under?
Clickspring was my first thought too!
Addi I think Chris is a kiwi actually
still a land down under :-D
Chris lives in Cairns. I believe he is Aussie.
Such a satisfying SNAP at 3:05. Don't you just live for the sound of a good fit?
Awesome video. Great machine work and clever editing!
You know you've made it when Jimmy and Dustin are watching your videos. (I wish!)
The mix of Humour and great engineering skill is a definite winner.
I've binged on most of your videos the last couple of days. Great Job!
3:40 - the Abom79 method from sundays video lol
Haha, love what you did at 1:28, Tony.
Am I the only one who has watched this like 10 times+ just because of the music ?
yes
Me too
Would love to know what the name of the song is. I looked it up in the TH-cam Audio Library with no luck.
1:01 if those had been rotated 90 degrees the whole comments section would've been "REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
Whatever happened to "this wouldn't be an old tony flick if I just cut to the point"?
(still good tho)
In the essence of time I cut out the whole building-the-milling-machine-and-the-vise-out-of-scrap-metal and did just a vise handle video.
This Old Tony, seems legit!
I don't even do metal-work. So how come I love this channel, and recognize the shoutout to Clickspring?
That Clickspring reference hahahaha
Love your video, as always, Tony! The Kit Kat joke was wonderful.
unexpected kitkat
The best kind.
Using the files as maracas to match the music was a nice touch.
merry x-mas tony! thanks for the great vids!
and to you! thanks for watching!
Thank you Tony. You are the Gumby of the metal video world. Cheers, Mike
You made the squaring of the hole look easy. I've not had such great luck in my attempts. Great entertaining yet educational video as always. Bravo
The key is good quality, very sharp files. Drilling out the corners took out most of the material. If you try to dig into a round hole, on the other hand...
couldn't you just cut the excess material with the milling machine?
I wondered that too. Possibly the hole was too narrow/deep to get an end mill into, and drilling right through was simpler.
I'm not gonna lie. I'm impressed the wooden sword is still in one piece after all this time.
Hi mate. I was thinking the same thing. Either that or it must have been repaired.
That makes two (three?) of us! He's good with it. Though he hasn't used it as a pry bar yet. That'd do it.
Pure genius. Where do you find that cheezy music?
SHORD !!!
Beautiful!
BTW, the music sounds kind of like the series on TV called "Monk".
oh my god!
He did it.
Removed metal without a power tool.
Just using a file. My world falls into chips
10/10. This inspired me to make my own vice handle. Obviously, it's not as pretty, but that's not important
At 1:17 how did you know exactly where to drill those holes
Nice job.
How Tony can pack so much eye candy into a video is stunning, this stuff is seriously addicting.
"not so great but kinda works" ... my life philosophy? ;)
Loved that nod to Chris from Clickspring :D
Great work as always, Tony! Still loving your filming style and your clever humour :D
Could you explain why you did the milling of the channel (I am probably not using proper terminology here...) before you drilled the holes for the pin to go in? seems like you run the chance of bending/deforming the part and messing up the pin hole alignment by doing it in the order you did.

That Tony is one smart cookie.
Every time you post a video it is like Christmas for me.
Hand filing? *gasp*What are you, clickspring?
(loved the reference at 4:40 also)
Hey Tony, so the other day I was in the desert chasing down a rogue droid, and well, long story short, met this old dude who gave me what he said was my father's "lightsaber," whatever that is. Anyway, it's got either a durasteel or more probably an aluminum body, and I'm wondering if you'd be up to the challenge of splitting it in the middle, putting an internal thread on both sides, and creating a matching mating extension tube. This is all to help me wire this baby up in a much neater way and come up with something suitable for a future Si... err, Jedi.
Music?
I'd have left it at adding the square drive end to the old handle, but, we would have then missed you using the Clickspring "Future-O-Scope©"
The handle will outlast the vise now...
A random TH-camr Huntsville, Alabama actually loled at the KitKat part. Well done as always.
Thanks Steven! It's the little things in life.
beautiful job but too much work I would weld a 1/2 socket to a long bolt and be done in 5mins lol
AvE would of surly made an ole lady joke at the point of turning that ball end.
😂
