They are all auite impressive actually. I highly recommend having a look inside any you come across, if you can without upsetting a child. Their design is always clever.
Unfortunately not, I wish they did have a standard tho would make the Morse code listening websites easier to use and you'd know exactly the length of the dots an dahs and the time space to leave between them when doing audio reproductions.
It's hard not to enjoy the sheer randomness that is a good hard poop shoot... Never stop doing these unless something important falls off and requires immediate surgery during editing, then you can feel free to take a few days.
Took me almost an hour to get my 6 month old child to sleep... the nerfgun shot at the end made me laugh so hard that I manage to wake her up again.. Thanks Tony!!
Richard Weaver : The targets are Abom79 and Stefan Gotteswinter , who both have channels you REALLY want to check out if you like metalworking and machining. The first is known for heavy machining as a professional machinist, the second one is a hobbyist that is into high finesse.
Richard Weaver : These three guys together with Keith Fenner, Build Something Cool, AvE , doubleboost, Clickspring and Keith Rucker are continuously working hard to offer ever better video's and are referencing each other all the time. They're all excellent craftsmen that run marvelous channels that can teach us A LOT !
Tony, if youtube ever fails, you *NEED* to be a teacher! I’ve learned more about machining, lathe operation and grinding than I have in the 8 years that I attended Engineering school! You make learning fun!
Tony, you did a damn good job building that router. The amperage draw being symmetrical in both directions on all axes is a great sign for machine quality. Keep it lubed and it should last long enough for the youngin' to drop it in transport to his dorm room.
I thought you said close, some of my fixtures are fifty thou or less away from clamps. First time runs even at 50% can make your ass pucker a little. I had a clever machinists “fix “ one of my programs.... sparks ⚡️ flying everywhere. We lost a good collet nut that day. Rigid tapping at 100% on 4140 80% thread, now that’s scary.
Yeah, I've taken many of my boys toys to the workbench for fixing ( sure! 😊) ! Great for dads upmost curiosity for sure! One thing I learned long ago was to ( if cheap enough ) get another one just like it, and hide it somewhere in the shop......... you know, just in case ! Gotta say when I see a new video from you, it makes me wonder if you can still come up with another great one.......... but you never disappoint !! Just another testament to your ability to deliver good stuff ! Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍 👍 👍
NERF guns fascinate me from a design standpoint - cheap ass materials to be sure, but mechanically they're brilliant. So yeah, I've got a few on my bench for "spare parts"
My grandfather was a research engineer at Bell Labs during WW II. He taught me a great lesson when I came to him with a non-functional electric motor out of one of my toys. "Sometimes you just have to take it apart, try to understand how it works, then put it back together." It worked then, and has served me well ever since. I have a bit of reputation as a fix-it guy, but really, I mostly just take stuff apart and put it back together.
As many others I'll imagine, I'm subbed to multiple channels of the same genre etc but dear god man you have the best editing plus great commentary and content. The true trifecta.
Sir, your editing, production, and content (both what you are doing and what/how you are saying) are outstanding. I so enjoy watching your work and your skill! Learning a lot as well and laughing out loud often! So entertaining! Thank you for what seems to require tireless energy!
As a retired Target maker for Pistol/Rifle - I think that target was Spot On! (Texas talk for ...) Loved the Fluke fix. And the CNC / V-A meter testing/implementation.
Just discovered the channel a week or two ago and I'm going back and watching your older videos. I'm really enjoying the content and the presentation. Mixing humor and information together is a great teaching method and has helped understand it much easier. While watching this video, you made me almost choke on my pizza when you opened the Nerf gun and pieces popped out. I literally LOL'd with a mouth full, causing some to go shooting down my throat. All was fine once I took a drink. Lesson learned "Swallow before Tony takes anything spring loaded apart." Thanks for the laughs and great content.
That meter looks a lot like my old Fluke 83... I fixed the display and it's still going..... 25 years later. Love it.Yours is gen III, mine is the first version. Still a great meter and gives valuable service. Gotta love good equipment!
That gun repair reminded me of the one time that I worked a "season" (as in holiday shopping season) for a large well-known chain of stores that sold toys. I had a lot of time to think in that store, the job wasn't terribly demanding mentally And I arrived at the conclusion at one point that pretty much every single thing in that store was different colored and shaped bits of plastic, sometimes with a bit of other stuff like electronics involved. That design sure was rather clever... :-)
You don't love your children if you don't tune up their nerf guns! I did a full work over on my 4 year old daughters' guns and they weren't even broken. I got tired of having to lead them when they were running away. :D
I liked that you threw a cookie over the plate with that extra screw left over and not trying to show up all the dads who unsuccessfully fixed their kids nerf gun.
Tony, you are a better man than I am. I took the exact nurf gun apart, had the same problem, but according to my boys, they never saw it again. I hate to admit, but this one time only they are right. 😞
Don't even know why I watched this?! Must be the fact that I anticipate entertainement whenever I read "This Old Tony" somewhere....... Has been a pleasure to watch - you never disappoint!
Those dart guns have always had a lot of screws. Likely to hold together the clamshell in the hands of even the most energetic ruffian, and to help discourage disassembly.
My marbles fell out a long time ago, think my son used them and sold the agy shooters, then gave them to my nephew, but at least remembered my morse from 45 years ago, Hah..sneaky devil. Man, just thinking of the mold for the magazine/fire control assy was a brain bender...then someone had to make it! Had me going on the fluke...thought it was going to be the leads after all...nice to be able to get parts for them. Thanks for shooting the nerf poop with us, I didn't smell anything after blowing coffee out my nose...Again...think you improved the performance of it too by the size of holes. Best! ~PJ
It feels so good to see another human being who knows how to solder! I see so many people on TH-cam doing HowTo videos that do not know how to solder properly. It drives me absolutely insane! lol
TOT, When I heard the Morse, I loved the message, played it 8 times to decode. Regardless, love your humor and way of being, I'll tell all my maker friends to subscribe. Thank you for all the information I've learned from your channel. I'm filled with gratitude, way to go!
In the front of the gun when opened there is a broken off part that the screw is screwed into, I am guessing that he did not bother to glue that back...
Love the fluke repair bit. My 88 needs a set of jacks, and I am disillusioned with Fluke Canada... so neat to know that you can change them out that easily!
I had the same problem with my Fluke. Shot the connectors with some contact cleaner and it works good as new. BTW did those solder joints look cold to anyone else?
CrimSun ,. True but if you pay close attention to the joint on the middle plug, on the left side. It looked too me like it didn't get full coverage when he resoldered the new connector on. Edit: Actually, both pins on that plug looked a little light on solder
Unbelievably, I did not know how to measure amps until this video. Apparently you have measure voltage before and after a resistor and divide the change in voltage by the resistance. No one else ever explained it before, and I have never needed to find out for sure how to do it. So, that was really helpful to me.
4:20 I've been there so many times. "Hey honey, why don't you have a seat and watch while daddy fixes your toy, it'll only take a minute!" Boooooinggg! "%¤#"S#@$€$!!!!!"
Having watched all of your content, I by far enjoyed “Shooting the Poop #2” the best. You actually do a great job of teaching and sharing best practices. But I appreciate you may find doing these as boring, because your productions are certainly witty, clever, and creative.
Hey Tony, Can you make video on how to put such beautiful crack lines around the screw heads on plexiglass? What is the trick? I would much appreciate it.
Hahaha, I just fixed my daughter's nerf gun too, last month (6 darts rotating barrel). Had to clean the sand and re-set a spring. I can't believe I spent 1.5h fixing a $20 toy ....but I had fun doing it and being a hero to our kids is priceless ;o)
Go slow when you take it apart. Just pay attention, or do what he did and take a video of it so you can always review it later if needed. It also helps to have a decent size, flat work space to lay everything out on. Practice with simpler things and work your way up to more challenging stuff and it will be easier.
Anyone else got the feeling This Old Tony sabotaged his son's toy to satisfy his curiosity... then decided to make a video to cover his tracks (and shame). ;)
Intriguing thought. I have honestly NEVER questioned my fluke. This could actually be super dangerous in certain circumstances. Thanks for the psuedo PSA.
Old my goodness. I have not had a laugh that good in a long time when you let the air out of Abom79 and Stefan Gotteswinter with the super sonic dart gun. Next time when firing it back up to a wall and it won't knock you down with the kick. lol. Heavens to bid if your son shoots your morning cup of coffee with it. I expect your better half will put booth of you in time out. All jokes aside like one of your other views said you make learning fun and interesting. Please never loose your sense of humor. Thanks for the videos and the time and hard work it takes to do them.
Current chopping stepper drivers (basically all of them these days) will give you that sort of behaviour. They rapidly switch electricity to the motor coil to achieve your set current (6A) using a PWM scheme. The driver and coil inductance can be thought of like a switching power supply that regulates for output current instead of voltage. Mechanical power out is torque x angular velocity. That comes from the electrical power going in to the motor. Electrical power to the motor is set current (6A) x voltage sent out by the driver. Electrical power in to the drivers is what you’re measuring. The conversion is far from 100% efficient and your meter may also be missing the high frequency components being drawn as the driver works but the meter will give you a rough idea of the machine load.
oh yeah, Tony has (produces) a very pleasant humor …imho… i know, it's mostly personal interpretation, but some jokes are just universally hilarious :D
The subtle detail of asking you to pay attention to the holes, then waiting just a little too long, and not showing what happens to the holes... .... And then relieving your anxiety or frustration by showing the holes in the metal plate... It's a genius set up of the joke.
Took me ten minutes to download an app and get the settings right... and all the time there was a button under the video with the answer written on it (Mishn0 was right all along)
definitely should have edited it to make it look like you put the fluke back together with a welding torch instead of that puny soldering iron. you're slipping this old tony
The engineering (and associated/implied injection mold making) on that dart gun is nothing short of scary. I almost lost it on the performance test at the end. LMAO fantastic!
The poo-poury ad before the video was hilarious. I watched the whole ad all the way through. If your adsense numbers are up, it's probably because of that ad. It was 2.5 minutes long and I watched the whole thing.
I think Adam is taking a trip to Italy this summer, and he is bringing the BIG wrench. Rumor says he is going with Stefan. You better watch out, I guess Stefan is pretty p*ssed by all the harassment.. Good humor and interesting as always.
Travelling in Italy is all fun and games until a well groomed man in a very expensive suit comes up to you and says "that's a nice indicator you've got their. It wold be a shame if it went out of calibration..."
I was two hours late. I purposely scanned through the comments to see if anyone else picked that up. I just knew that sequence sounded like Morse code and figured, hey this is Tony, I know that just has to be subscribe! Clever Tony, clever!
I suspected the same, wrote down the beepy stuff and pasted it in here: morsecode.scphillips.com/translator.html Worked on the first try without errors, so a sound of happiness emerged from the southern part of my face haha! :D
I like how those 7 segment displays have extra lights for displaying decimal points, and also hours:minutes as well as temperatures(?) like 75°F or 20°C using the last digit for the units
And worth every penny, apparently. My free Harbor Freight meters haven't failed yet, unlike the Fluke - maybe they have a sensor that detects they are expendable.
The machinist clamp on the back of the multimeter while you soldered the leads WAS CLASSIC!!!
It would be physically impossible for me to NOT plug those holes.
Holy crap that nerf gun assembly was smart. Never thought they'd put that much effort into a kids' dart toy
That's the wonder of mass production. Get the design right once, and then pump out millions of copies.
They are all auite impressive actually. I highly recommend having a look inside any you come across, if you can without upsetting a child. Their design is always clever.
@@magellanicraincloud Nope... Their design is clever when the design is clever.
Remember the "Furbie"? They had such a futuristic electronics package, that the soviets were allegedly buying them up to use in a weapons system!
It's not a toy... it's a fun gun.
Dude you are dismantling a FLUKE!!! One of the world best multimeter with a product lifetime warranty
Is Morse code the same in metric? I had to multiply by .0394 to be able to decipher your hidden message. Thanks for the time!
SUBSCRIBE, this old tony´s classics
If it's metric then it would be Celcius code...
It's same but about 2.54 times faster, as it doesn't take dots and dashes that long to travel 1cm as it would take to travel 1 inch of way! :-D
Unfortunately not, I wish they did have a standard tho would make the Morse code listening websites easier to use and you'd know exactly the length of the dots an dahs and the time space to leave between them when doing audio reproductions.
@Jason Moody its Morse code for "Subscribe" hes so funny.This old Tony is a Legend! Love this channel.
It's hard not to enjoy the sheer randomness that is a good hard poop shoot... Never stop doing these unless something important falls off and requires immediate surgery during editing, then you can feel free to take a few days.
Single shot revolver? This old Tony, you can't fool me with your fast talking ;)
I prefer my magezine to reciprocate rather than rotate 😅
Took me almost an hour to get my 6 month old child to sleep... the nerfgun shot at the end made me laugh so hard that I manage to wake her up again..
Thanks Tony!!

Anyone who has ever taken a Nerf gun apart, knows it takes a friggin' genius to get it back together with only one screw left over.
I upgraded mine and had 2 left over. No problems though.
I've never had left-over screws for a Nerf gun. I've taken apart other toys and it's happened though lol
There is an empty screw hole above his right hand

Jim M I see what you did there 🤣
definitely should have edited it to make it look like you put the fluke back together with a welding torch instead of that puny soldering iron. you're slipping this old tony
The engineering (and associated/implied injection mold making) on that dart gun is nothing short of scary. I almost lost it on the performance test at the end. LMAO fantastic!
Did you really send "subscribe" in CW? Well done.
73 de M6EXH.
He did indeed. I stopped the video to transcribe it... Oh Tony, you clever, clever man.
He Did. de G7WJJ
The poo-poury ad before the video was hilarious. I watched the whole ad all the way through. If your adsense numbers are up, it's probably because of that ad. It was 2.5 minutes long and I watched the whole thing.
I think Adam is taking a trip to Italy this summer, and he is bringing the BIG wrench. Rumor says he is going with Stefan. You better watch out, I guess Stefan is pretty p*ssed by all the harassment..
Good humor and interesting as always.
Stefan will bring a pair of miniature Colt 1911 :D
Travelling in Italy is all fun and games until a well groomed man in a very expensive suit comes up to you and says "that's a nice indicator you've got their. It wold be a shame if it went out of calibration..."
Love your videos! Keep it up. I enjoy watching as you think out loud and try something that may or may not work just to see what happens
10:58 Baaahahahahaha... awesome!
You got me at patient dead signal. Love your videos.
2:04 haha Morse Code for "SUBSCRIBE"!!!
Did I win something?
[edit]
probably nothing ... waaaay too late I see now! :D
I was two hours late. I purposely scanned through the comments to see if anyone else picked that up. I just knew that sequence sounded like Morse code and figured, hey this is Tony, I know that just has to be subscribe! Clever Tony, clever!
I suspected the same, wrote down the beepy stuff and pasted it in here:
morsecode.scphillips.com/translator.html
Worked on the first try without errors, so a sound of happiness emerged from the southern part of my face haha! :D
Merry Christmas to you and your family, Tony. Thanks for the advise, knowledge, and laughs of 2017.
Anybody else just staring at the empty screw post when he's talking about an extra screw?
Your videos are fantastically informative, fascinating and funny (too much alliteration there, I know). Cheers & thanks!
11:17 ROTFLMAO!!
Every neighborhood needs a guy like you...much to the chagrin of that guy, so...maybe two guys like you.
Ah, "American" AvE...
I like how those 7 segment displays have extra lights for displaying decimal points, and also hours:minutes as well as temperatures(?) like 75°F or 20°C using the last digit for the units
Ruined a perfectly good Fluke Morse Code Trainer.
Well !! Isn't it nice that someone still offers spare parts for their electronics! I'm impressed that Fuke (FKA Phillips) still does!
... --- ...--- ... ave aint s...t
mort glickman was that the Morse code from around 2 minutes?
generic_youtubename no, the Morse code said "subscribe".
AvE is brilliant, but in a different way and at different things. You don't have to dislike one creator to praise another.
It actually said ... ..- -... ... -.-. .-. .. -... .
what is AvE ?
Glad you were able to fix the fluke- they’re a fortune. Great video as usual.
And worth every penny, apparently. My free Harbor Freight meters haven't failed yet, unlike the Fluke - maybe they have a sensor that detects they are expendable.

ROTFL!! Thank you for showing the fix for the very common Fluke connector problem!
