How does a man seduce 44,000 people to watch a 22 minute video about a couple hunks of metal? ToT has that special touch. Amazing. Always makes me happy when I watch your videos.
This ol tony. I can’t thank you enough for your videos. 25 years ago or so, My step dad ( God rest his soul) for years tried to teach me this trade as he was a professional welder and machinist for over 40 years. Yet I was such a stubborn shithead of a teen I refused to listen. I missed out on so much knowledge from the decades of experience he had because of my poor attitude. Now, that I have 4 kids of my own and a successful business, I find myself paying out the ears to fabricate parts and prototypes . I am finally doing a lot of my own and fixing things that break around the house . Finding your channel is helping fill the gap of knowledge and tricks of the trade I missed out on so many years ago. Thank you for that and your sharing of your knowledge. I truly appreciate it. Hope you and your family have a wonderful and successful 2020 ! Happy New Years ! -New Loyal Subscriber
I think we all learn not to drink anything while watching ToT that way. (It was Pepsi on my keyboard for me - months and a few cleanings ago, but my shift key still occasionally sticks)
For those wondering why he puts the part diagonally instead of parallel to the back rail, it's for heat reduction. Less time for the wheel to "dwell" on the part means more air over it instead. Lets heat escape. Flood cooling in conjunction makes for a virtually cool part after grinding unless you're really hogging down.
Personally I do this because I can never get (read: am too lazy to get) the part perfectly straight, so all the grinder marks end up sightly wonky and it looks less then great. Doing it like this makes it look like I *chose* to have wonky grinder marks...
Thanks for the enlightenment, Billy C! I had never thought about there being any changes from the heat, but it makes sense. Now when I use my ancient Butterfly surface grinder, I'll try the misaligned "wonky" method and see if it keeps the work, more acurate.
Additional to cooling the part, it also make for a shorter distance to move the table in some context. Though cooling the part is probably more important.
I was expecting him to show cutting the "precision ground round" and have it showing ... well, ... ground round ... on the end ... Maybe the same gag, twice, in a row would have made it go from "gag" to "groaner." Don't need that surprise in the shop.
After a very frustrating day at work, nothing like getting home, sitting down on the couch and having the missus hand me an ice cold glass of This Old Tony to make my cares just melt away.
TV and Netflix are off in the bin, ‘This Old Tonys’ TH-cam channel is the way forward, please never ever ever stop recording these videos. Keep up the good work. Absolutely awesome. Thanks.
As a beginning Toolmaker, its great to hear someone actually go into the finer details about the entire process instead of doing a time lapse with a cool music track, this helps out a lot of kids starting the trade, thank you for this.
I just about fell over when you came back with powdered sugar on your fingers 🤣🤣🤣 your humor has a direct line to my funny bone! I truly love watching your videos and as an added bonus I get to learn something in between the long pause breaks due to a need of recomposing myself from laughing so damn hard.
Better, worse... In this case, same thing. I mean that. I love this channel. But it hurts my soul... To no surprise, I could describe my wife's humor in the same terms.
I am NOT a metal head; I watch these videos strictly for the comedic entertainment value...and, along the way, I actually learn a thing or three. Love yer vids, ToT!
Very nicely done! I'll be interested to see how cuts with it come out. Often vices are made from ductile cast iron because it has vibration dampening properties which can yield better surface finish. Look forward to seeing how this works!
@@DrewLSsix Yep the little nodule of carbon in cast iron help the sliding action. It's cheap, so the parts can be cast pretty beefy, which give it rigidity and stability (temperature, vibration)
If I had you as a teacher in highschool, I may have actually gone into metalworking instead of IT. I think I can say for most of us, keep up the good work and man you're just awesome This Old Tony.
I'm glad he wasn't my teacher in high school. He would've been a baby, well technically a junior high schooler. So yeah a baby. My millwright Grandpa and pre WW2 toolmaker Grandpa would never let live it down if I was learning from a baby. Plus I don't speak baby.
Yay, new video! CARP! I knew who I was watching, and yet I foolishly decided to drink coffee at the same time. The mag-chuck song means I need a new cup of joe. And some paper towels.
I'm finally a bit smarter in my old age and try to wait until after the video to have my espresso. One of his Very Best including the donut dust on his fingers.
I never get tired of the modesty, the down-to-earthness, and the humor, for me TOT just puts a smile on my face every time. This video in particular, this is such a breath of fresh air, I hate putting a giant vice on a mill just to hold a 6" piece of metal. I could never understand why that is such a typical setup.
Dear This Old Tony, having watched with enthusiasm since the first Vid you are unique, your combination of good humour and (dare I say) technical brilliance makes every Dear Old Tony Vid an unmissable event. Thank you so much for sharing your remarkable world with us. David
Awesome project!! I would think you may need a small hardened surface for the clamping screw to engage; a pressed in broken end mill or something. Thanks for the great content as always
yea yea "4 ft of snow" walking to the mill lol ----- i had to walk also in winter, 4 ft of snow, but NO shoes, NO socks, the milling cutters were so cold they were undersized for first 30 mins of milling. i can bet you are one of the "posh" kids in town :)) AAND i had to use one of nokias 6110 models to call someone at that time. ( dark ages, i can tell you that ) .... Well done, :) nice video, appreciate the work you put into your channel
Michael Schnock We were so poor we had to turn the mill spindle by hand as we couldn't afford electricity - man i used to hate those 1/8 cutters - ever tried to turn a mill spindle at 1200rpm by hand ?
ian bertenshaw Yep , i can imagine .- its like fire drilling wthhout a bow . But at least you had warm hands :) while i was almost frozen to the ground AND to the mill handles :(. Lol ..
Tony, I gave you a thumbs up for your sense of humor alone. Great idea and you made it as enjoyable watch as it was instructional. Keep doing what you're doing the way you're doing it. Sincerely, an old knife maker looking for ideas to steal. (Speaking of "steele"... welcome to America Alec).
>>> That was simply awesome. A 22 minute video has convinced me that with a little effort I too could become a machinist. I reckon 20 years or so should suffice. Too bad I’m starting at 74.
Steve Summers well fancy meeting you here Steve. I’d love to see you make one of these. Show old Tony that you don’t need special effects to get it done lol.
Gah! It's Steve!!! My dream TH-cam video would be you, ToT, and Abom collaborating on a project. Or just sitting together having a few beers, telling stories.
Another knock out, Tony. You've thoroughly secured your spot in after dinner TV. My son has gone from watching this channel as a mesmerized toddler to asking questions at every turn and laughing at all the shenanigans. Also, your mag chuck man, I've been eyeing those things on ebay lately.
Remember, mortal: everything is made of rubber. There is a caveat associated with two piece vises: the table becomes the vise frame - part of the restraint force loop. Tighten the vise, the back jaw block and the fixed jaw tend to spread from the clamping force. This clamping force being above the table's neutral axis imparts a bending force to the table. The table, hunky as it is, is still elastic: it will deflect some small amount in response to the clamping force applied by the two piece vise. Short parts, negligible problem but remember proportion. The longer the span, the greater the deflection in response to a given load (quantify by applying the relevant statics equations.) Long parts, if tightly clamped in a two piece vise, may deflect (rainbow) the table enough for it to become stiff in its operation. The deflection takes up the working clearance in the dovetails. The result of this deflection is end bearing between the table and table ways on the saddle. Operation in this mode leads to scrubbing, lube film failure, localized wear, and eventually, galling. Not a good thing. Just sayin', a two piece vise is a very handy work holder (for vise-type parts too long for the go-to vise) but it has this one limitation. Use it when you have to but when you do, grip longer work gently.
Easily solved, you just bolt another milling table onto the top of the vise before clamping to center and share the load. ...huh? What do you mean you wanted to actually machine that piece of stock underneath there...? Jeez, some folks you just can't please...
@@KnowledgePerformance7 Sorry, I'm late to respond. I did watch the vid to the end. While Tony's excellent video covered all the bases including the "...potential to screw up your table..." he, glossed over the means by which the table could be "screwed up." Which I tried to remedy in far too many words.
I honestly have watched every video and I'm still in awe that you come up with new material whilst working with old materials that are often newer than your gag material. Just just a material girl in a material world aren't you.
If you want to keep your boss busy for a while just introduce him to Tony and Uncle Bumblefuck. When you hear the ambulance you'll know he used the hydraulic vise.
This channel is single handedly responsible for spending my entire bonus from work this year on a precision matthews milling machine. This Old Tony you owe me $2500 bucks. DM me, we'll work something out.
With the increasing popularity of these videos, I wonder if Tony has time or care to read or even browse through all the comments?. I feel like we are watching a new filmmaking "all-time-great" personality. Tony's handling of semiotics, editing, writing, acting, and comedic tenor are without equal. I have searched the youtube far and wide and not found anything quite similar.
In case someone thinks it's not real: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeroth_law_of_thermodynamics It's basically "If A=C and B=C then A=B" but with temperatures.
Of course its real. Did y'all miss WHY he said it? the two pairs of sides are the two systems to be in equilibrium, using the vice as the 3rd system. If both sides of your part are square to the grinding vise, they are square to each other.
I love surface grinders! Bringing back good memories of hammering out hundreds of parts with 5 tenths of a thousandths of parallel on a big ancient Blanchard grinder.
It’s always a pleasure to see a TOT video in the queue. On another note, today I will be going to look at an old atlas 10f to buy as my first machine/shop toy. Thanks Tony for being an inspiration to me and a thousands others.
depends on the knife. there are also devices that can cut raw eggs into slices (that is no joke :) ) so why not cut steel in the same way ?. i think we should simply accept that ToT is a kungfu alchemist "turns gold into ?? steel ? "
This is a useful piece of kit and at some point I may get around to making one to go with the clamping set, vice and low profile clamps I already have but none of that really matters as the humour in this video was justification enough for watching. Thank you so much. Your timing is immaculate. Very redolent of Zefrank.
2:03 "Unless you read the title to this video you're never gonna guess what my solution to this problem is." You underestimate my forgetfullness, since i already don't know the title of the vid anymore while being only 2 mins into it.
tony knocks it out of the park again. ive had hf mini mill, l made, cut up, drilled, 2 piece vice from cheap flat hf vice. l love it thanks to tony. And now red mini laith owner too.
i had to watch the knife cutting the stock at frame 3:43 a few times cause it was just so cool...cheers on that. nice work! worth the price of admission alone
Just the video I was waiting for. I've been wanting to build one of these for use on my cnc router. Not just because you can hold large work but also because of the lower profile. Great video as always! Thanks Tony!
TH-cam finally linked me to one of your videos after I had already watched countless machining videos. Halfway through with this video and already subscribed. You sir are hilarious!
I ended up watching this one again. I saw it a long time ago, and enjoyed it, so when it came up in the que, I figured I'd let it play again. Had a funny thought at 15:10. When the part was dead nuts flat, I was thinking ahhh !!!, broken dial indicator. :) That was an old joke at my shop. When something inspected out perfect, we figured the indicator must be broken. Good video. Even the second time around.
This channel is a perfect example of how screwed up youtube can be...countless praise from some of the best channels around, quality content and video/audio, yet only 344k subscribers. Makes perfect sense, in youtube land!
... It's almost as if Google/TH-cam algorithms are intentionally designed to make us dumber. In a way, this is true. They are geared to gain the most views from 13 yr olds. Those are the minds that advertisers want to indoctrinate.
Maybe just not that many people are into machining as much as there are people into other topics... And it's understandable. I think collaborations with other channels such as the recent one with the french guy cooking can help a lot. I found this channel just from youtube recommendations and I was mostly watching videos about CNC when I was building my own.
Not many people have access to a 1000 lb mill or metal lathe (including me). But anyone can appreciate the humor and insight and the editing. And anyone who makes anything requiring any type of precision can unintentionally learn something useful while being entertained. But a lot of ToT's humor is surely lost to viewers in other english speaking countries, even. To anyone who knows english as a second language, I imagine a ToT video could be downright painful. The most popular TH-camrs gain views from 13-25 yr old demographic, globally. A lot of the most popular "make/instructional" channels don't even have any narration. But they cobble together disposable tools/toys using a glue gun. Or they include knives. Seems like everyone, everywhere likes knives and swords, especially 13 yr olds. Even ToT's son likes showrds.
Haha, 7:47 is a familiar scene. When my boy asks "can I help?", he really means "can I use a power tool to annihilate something". But I don't mind. It gets him away from the video game, and gives me a chance to teach tool safety. Thanks for another great video Tony!
I'd have used a square end mill so the inside corners would be nice and sharp, less stress on the square grinding wheel (about time you posted another video)
Hey Tony really happy to see a new video been missing you here. To me you are one of the best channels on You Tube. I really love the way you present your subject matter. I know these videos must take a lot of time and thought to create I thank you very much for both. I just wish that I had the skills that you shown in your videos. Thanks !
Did you think that you could just watch Google-owned content without Google also watching you? (Obviously ToT has access to some of the Google data...)
I was going to say but then you touched on it at the very end. Most modular vices like what you built that I’ve seen in action are mounted on a sub plate with a lot of drilled and tapped holes with some reamed holes for dowels to locate the vices and that gives you the flexibility to place them both horizontally in the x direction or vertical in the Y direction. Sub plates aren’t cheap but they seem like a good addition for convenience sake. Great video and nice vice dude
When you used the dial indicator on the part after the surface grinding I apparently made a sound that made my girl jealous
Samezies
I didn’t know, I could feel those emotions
BAh hah hah yes!!!
😂😂😂
Who says men aren’t sensitive?
You are the only person capable of making me spend 22min watching a video I already watch before 😊
Thank you for letting us enjoy machining 🙏
I think I'm on the 4th time now
This is my 6th not enough uploading but that’s ok because it forces us to re watch our favorites
I knew I watched it before, but when I got done I wanted to upvote it again.
You mean apart from the 58min of....

My mag Chuck brings all the boys to the yard was comedy gold. I actually laughed out loud, that doesn't happen very often.

Of course it doesnt happen, youre a fruit, everyone knows vegetables have the better sense of humor lol
Me too. Coffee on the kitchen table.

Every time I get frustrated of *TH-cam* , I come and hang out in this channel
Not sure if its been said, but I believe you are the Bob Ross of machining parts. Always entertaining and informative
Your sense of humour, skill, and editing are commendable. In short, you rock mate!
"...the other old tony..."
So... This Old Tony and That Old Tony?
Good name for a second channel
What an ingeniius way to cover up technical problems with the audio! Bravo, sir!
Oh I’m excited for this!!
Back to work Alec! more videos from yourself! :)
Your guilty pleasure hmm?
omg alec steele, love your channel man
Alec Steele Love your work mate!
I'm excited for a colab, get it done you two!
For those wondering why he puts the part diagonally instead of parallel to the back rail, it's for heat reduction. Less time for the wheel to "dwell" on the part means more air over it instead. Lets heat escape. Flood cooling in conjunction makes for a virtually cool part after grinding unless you're really hogging down.
Personally I do this because I can never get (read: am too lazy to get) the part perfectly straight, so all the grinder marks end up sightly wonky and it looks less then great.
Doing it like this makes it look like I *chose* to have wonky grinder marks...
Thanks for the enlightenment, Billy C!
I had never thought about there being any changes from the heat, but it makes sense.
Now when I use my ancient Butterfly surface grinder, I'll try the misaligned "wonky" method and see if it keeps the work, more acurate.
Additional to cooling the part, it also make for a shorter distance to move the table in some context. Though cooling the part is probably more important.
Thanks for explaining this I often think questions without asking and you answered one for me lmao
Cutting that stock was a piece of cake.
I was expecting him to show cutting the "precision ground round" and have it showing ... well, ... ground round ... on the end ... Maybe the same gag, twice, in a row would have made it go from "gag" to "groaner." Don't need that surprise in the shop.

@@DrewLSsix Yep the little nodule of carbon in cast iron help the sliding action.
It's cheap, so the parts can be cast pretty beefy, which give it rigidity and stability (temperature, vibration)
You have the only videos I don’t fast forward through. I don’t need any of these items but I enjoy them all the same.
It is hard to explain to anyone other than another watcher how captivating it is to listen to a pair of hands talking to me...
No such thing as too many grinding fixtures. It is so much easier to learn something when you have a smile on your face - thank you!

Why did I like this!!!???I'm a woodworker for gods sake!!!Could it be I'm a sucker for tools that make tools that make life easier?
Keep your uncle Tony in a vice ;) GREAT VIDEO BTW. Probably should get back to work before my boss notices.

People often fail to recognize the importance of the 0th Law of Thermodynamics.
In case someone thinks it's not real:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeroth_law_of_thermodynamics
It's basically "If A=C and B=C then A=B" but with temperatures.

Thats cold
Before thermodynamics, one must master thermostatics.
I thought it was spell 0nd....?
Of course its real. Did y'all miss WHY he said it? the two pairs of sides are the two systems to be in equilibrium, using the vice as the 3rd system. If both sides of your part are square to the grinding vise, they are square to each other.
The editing style and humorous commentary are spot on! I know nothing of working with metal but I still enjoy this channel immensely!

I love surface grinders! Bringing back good memories of hammering out hundreds of parts with 5 tenths of a thousandths of parallel on a big ancient Blanchard grinder.
Haha, for the S.U.B.S.C.R.I.B.E smoothly done bud :D
had a laugh
This mans creativity is very wise
nobody does it better
Subtle
It’s always a pleasure to see a TOT video in the queue. On another note, today I will be going to look at an old atlas 10f to buy as my first machine/shop toy. Thanks Tony for being an inspiration to me and a thousands others.
Usuallly I know how you do your little magic tricks.. But 3:43 just leaves me scratching my head.. How did you do that?
Some stock actually comes pre-baked, but when it doesn't you have to spend 30 minutes rotoscoping it in After Effects.
Three shots, one with the full piece, one with only the front cut piece, one with both pieces. Knife moves behind front piece.
Very sharp, depleted Chromium coated Titanium knife.... and way too long down the gym!
depends on the knife. there are also devices that can cut raw eggs into slices (that is no joke :) ) so why not cut steel in the same way ?. i think we should simply accept that ToT is a kungfu alchemist "turns gold into ?? steel ? "
Probably used a bandsaw and edited it out and he followed with a knife? Ot it was just really clever stopmotion.
This is a useful piece of kit and at some point I may get around to making one to go with the clamping set, vice and low profile clamps I already have but none of that really matters as the humour in this video was justification enough for watching. Thank you so much. Your timing is immaculate. Very redolent of Zefrank.
2:03 "Unless you read the title to this video you're never gonna guess what my solution to this problem is."
You underestimate my forgetfullness, since i already don't know the title of the vid anymore while being only 2 mins into it.
TOT video? I click and don't bother reading the title.
tony knocks it out of the park again. ive had hf mini mill, l made, cut up, drilled, 2 piece vice from cheap flat hf vice. l love it thanks to tony. And now red mini laith owner too.
Holy bent table, Batman!
A very nice build. I love these precise vises. I have a precision machinist vise and its just nice to know that nothing will move on my CNC.
I kinda want to make a "this old Tony out of context" video.
i had to watch the knife cutting the stock at frame 3:43 a few times cause it was just so cool...cheers on that. nice work! worth the price of admission alone
I have cut many a piece of steel and never once found cake inside. :(
The cake is a lie.
I’ve cut many pieces of cake and found steel inside... Or was that coins? 🤔
Nigel Oulton Clever!
Never found cake either. That must be high quality.
It is the other side of the cake with a file in it, same recipe but you must read it in a mirror.
Just the video I was waiting for. I've been wanting to build one of these for use on my cnc router. Not just because you can hold large work but also because of the lower profile. Great video as always! Thanks Tony!
I was checking TOT channel regularly for the past two weeks whether he's alive or not
Same.
TH-cam finally linked me to one of your videos after I had already watched countless machining videos. Halfway through with this video and already subscribed. You sir are hilarious!
Add base plates and toe clamps for more rigidity, if you are into that sort of thing.
I ended up watching this one again. I saw it a long time ago, and enjoyed it, so when it came up in the que, I figured I'd let it play again. Had a funny thought at 15:10. When the part was dead nuts flat, I was thinking ahhh !!!, broken dial indicator. :)
That was an old joke at my shop. When something inspected out perfect, we figured the indicator must be broken.
Good video. Even the second time around.
My mag chuck brings all the boys to the yard, and they're like...
That was epic LOL
Bart Layman it’s stronger than yours
That one really made me lol

Thanks Tony!! I needed a way to hold a large box on my mini mill, and makinh these solved the problem!
This channel is a perfect example of how screwed up youtube can be...countless praise from some of the best channels around, quality content and video/audio, yet only 344k subscribers. Makes perfect sense, in youtube land!
He deserves it! He made me modify the plans of my house while building it to add a workshop!
For as long as he's been on YT, he should at least be at the 1 million sub mark.
... It's almost as if Google/TH-cam algorithms are intentionally designed to make us dumber. In a way, this is true. They are geared to gain the most views from 13 yr olds. Those are the minds that advertisers want to indoctrinate.
Maybe just not that many people are into machining as much as there are people into other topics... And it's understandable. I think collaborations with other channels such as the recent one with the french guy cooking can help a lot. I found this channel just from youtube recommendations and I was mostly watching videos about CNC when I was building my own.
Not many people have access to a 1000 lb mill or metal lathe (including me). But anyone can appreciate the humor and insight and the editing. And anyone who makes anything requiring any type of precision can unintentionally learn something useful while being entertained. But a lot of ToT's humor is surely lost to viewers in other english speaking countries, even. To anyone who knows english as a second language, I imagine a ToT video could be downright painful.
The most popular TH-camrs gain views from 13-25 yr old demographic, globally. A lot of the most popular "make/instructional" channels don't even have any narration. But they cobble together disposable tools/toys using a glue gun. Or they include knives. Seems like everyone, everywhere likes knives and swords, especially 13 yr olds. Even ToT's son likes showrds.
I love how you can make all these great projects in 30 minutes or less.
You seem to have a Dremel Bandit infestation in your shop.
Those things are impossible to get rid of once they move in. Only way is to burn the whole place down start fresh.
They tend to leave apprentice marks on everything. Better to find an angry beaver and let that roam the shop.
I've always told people, "I used to have a lot of good tools. Now I have sons....."
I once heard the term *destructo*
Dang! Your work is SO professional, it's making me feel like a real amateur!
Awesome project!
Some channels need an "instant click" feature... this one, for example
why
It took this guy 47 seconds to make my day out of average dull morning, Tony you always provide
Gee all these clever comments in the video and out of the video and all I can think of to say is that looks like it can come in very handy.
Me too.
Haha, 7:47 is a familiar scene. When my boy asks "can I help?", he really means "can I use a power tool to annihilate something". But I don't mind. It gets him away from the video game, and gives me a chance to teach tool safety. Thanks for another great video Tony!
Anyone else's heart stop at 12:08?!
that's what i was thinking too....
I definitely jumped when I saw that. Yikes.
i cringed and lol'd.. hope it's not too bad

DarynFPV Scared the scrap out of me..
WOW! with TWO pieces!,was expecting a part one & part two?!!! what a surprise!
I'd have used a square end mill so the inside corners would be nice and sharp, less stress on the square grinding wheel (about time you posted another video)
Yeah, that'll work LOL
Hey Tony really happy to see a new video been missing you here. To me you are one of the best channels on You Tube. I really love the way you present your subject matter. I know these videos must take a lot of time and thought to create I thank you very much for both. I just wish that I had the skills that you shown in your videos. Thanks !
Alright alright. I'm building one. You've made your point.
This was gold. I want to live on a magical street with Tony, Jimmy, and AvE. Alec could come too, he seems nice. Who else should we invite?
20:30 Ok, how did you know that?
Came out really nice by the way!
It's Tony! There is not much he doesnt know!!
It's summer. It still does scare me though.
ACs aren't for real men. Real men would turn on their welding machines even a bit higher. 💪
Did you think that you could just watch Google-owned content without Google also watching you? (Obviously ToT has access to some of the Google data...)
That's one of the best videos I've seen in a long time!
Educational, efficient and entertaining!
"making rash or reckless decisions on your lathe..."
#lathementality is what happens when you think you'll just "quickly turn" something on the vise and "eyeball" things and you end up exploding a cutter
or lots of stock for future projects.
Well Sir I was going to spend 1200 on 8" but now you saved me 1200 dollars. Thanks. Keep up the great work.
So, "That Young Tony" wants to be a dentist. Scary! 😎
According to _This old wife,_ wouldn't it be _This old son?_
I was going to say but then you touched on it at the very end. Most modular vices like what you built that I’ve seen in action are mounted on a sub plate with a lot of drilled and tapped holes with some reamed holes for dowels to locate the vices and that gives you the flexibility to place them both horizontally in the x direction or vertical in the Y direction. Sub plates aren’t cheap but they seem like a good addition for convenience sake. Great video and nice vice dude
