I was at a store recently buying some junk for a project I'm working on, and after explaining it to the check out guy he said; "Don't forget to wear your safety tie, kid." and I was like "Whuuu..?" and he said "Oh, you probably wouldn't get it... it's this Englishman that makes stuff." Then I bonded with a 70yo man at Ace Hardware over Colin Furze videos. He apparently was a finance guy his whole life, retired and played golf like everyone in FL, and got inspired by your videos and he got a job at a hardware store to talk to people, learn and make stuff! He started making artistic sculptures with mechanical elements first, made a golf club swinging device and a golf ball canon and now he's building a 4 wheeler sand rail for sand skiing with his grandkids. You did that. You got a tired old depressed man out of his funk, got him to quit golf (a miracle. You're doing gods work for that.) and get active and building things! Your videos connect with millions of people of all ages. You probably won't read this, but if you do... I hope it makes you feel good. I have lung cancer and only one lung and I'm in my 20s, he's in his 70s and we both were inspired to get in better shape and spend our days making cool shit. Two vastly different people, from the opposite side of the planet are living better lives because of you. Also, my sister's kids live your book. Thank you. I plan on ordering my safety tie soon.
"This Old Tony" : This wrench is now slightly magnetic so I can stick it on the machine and never lose it again. "Me" : Really? Well that's actually pretty coo- *Drops immediately* Why did I believe that
Tony, when you dumped out the holes at the holes at the start of the video I counted 47. A pouch that size usually holds 50. Check for holes in the pouch.
@@HayyuAdam the other thing is free to spin so after the 2 bits contact each other, they are basically not spinning relative to each other. I believe the spintool is used as a replacement for presstool. I believe the term used to making square holes is called broaching,.
But what cuts out the square if there’s no relative movement? Does it just press the tool into it, but why would it need to spin in the first place if there was no relative rotation
I'm glad you started with the simpler "square" hole. Round holes have been hard to achieve after infinite-sided broaches went out of production. I keep getting sniped on eBay for old Soviet stock. 😭
"the ground is connected to the earth which is an insignificant speck hurdling through cold empty space" I guess you did say this episode would be dark...
I'm a toolmaker irl. I use top of the line equipment at work including HSM, automated loading, standard CNC, lathes, EDM, CADCAM, etc. Had we done this at work it we would've used 2 very different approaches (1. drill out the corners using a 2mm drill and machine the pocket or 2. EDM the hole) but its great seeing people use the 'old ways'. Takes me back. Great video. Loved the humor. Subscribed.

@@angrydragonslayer Ahhhh okay gotcha. To me EDM is the wire guided process. I wasn’t aware there was other EDM methods and/or processes. Hence my confusion lol. Thanks though. Learn something new everyday!

This Old Tony's humor is like absurdist/surrealist dad jokes, and even after watching his channel for years they still catch me by surprise. One second I'm fully invested in learning, then out of nowhere I'm laughing at something ridiculous, and then I'm laughing even harder at myself for getting sucked in and then just effortlessly bamboozled. The man's an artist.
If I understand correctly: You know how you can take a plate or frisbee or something, hold it at an angle on a flat table or floor, fling it downwards and a bit sideways, and it starts to wobble around the centre tracing out a smaller circle, only touching the desk at one point on the edge during any given moment? This is designed to FORCE a square to wobble around, only pushing forward into the material at one point at a time, chiselling out each edge of the square in turn by a tiny bit per revolution. Though it's probably still dark magic, and I've just found a fake explanation that seems just plausible enough that I don't have to think about it any harder and can get on with my life.
That's what i love/hate about youtube. I could be on a fighting-game compilation video, and youtube is like "WANT TO SEE HOW HYDROELECTRIC DAMS ARE DESIGNED?!?!"...... and i click because sure.
"That'd be off the charts if the scale stopped at 40... But it doesn't" This is my kind of humour. Unfortunately it does come at the expense of not having a good reference point. Worth it though.
Despite not being a machinist I really enjoy your videos. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into the visual aspects of showing what you’re doing on a job. I also really appreciate the care you take in describing not only what you are doing, but why you do it. For me, this is the best part. I know you could all kinds of technical jargon, but you don’t, and I can pretty much follow what you do and why. Although, seeing a quick time-lapse and then a finished product is nice, I don’t find them as rewarding. As someone who once worked in a machine shop, toward the end of the last century, I am now considering machining as a hobby. I really appreciate the knowledge, insight, and humor packed into your videos. Great work. Thank you. Cheers
I flinched, I actually _flinched_ when you dumped an envelope full of holes onto the steel bench -- those things are a nightmare to remove. And then you _scooped them up with your bare hands,_ Jesus!

:D I had customer parts where I needed a square hole where a 100% of the square was called for, so I predrilled slightly smaller than the square rotary broach. Axial force increases quite dramaticaly in that case :D
Depending on just what you need to put the square hole make sure you have a round peg to put in it. 👍 Also depending on what you are punching the whole hole into, through or blind makes a difference. Of course you just could have shaped it in the mill
I'm new to ToT, lovin them all. This one reminded me that i have a tin of spark plug gaps in my garage, various sizes. Must go and sort them out one day

3:37 Missed opportunity to change "solutions" on broach to "subscribe". To be honest, You're the only one youtuber whose subscription messages I actually like and wait for them.
Hi Tony, another inspirational video on my favourite subject of broaches, especially when they are in the end of the shafts so in essence become blind broaches, when you first did the hex broach that was brilliant! And we have adopted some of these techniques into or work as we make bespoke scientific testing machines for the P,P,E, industry. So Thanks Tony, your video has had a great impact on us at work and wanted to thank you for your efforts.
@@RuthlessDutchman I'm not sure if the 1000 pounds machine (filer machine?) reefers to weight (lbs) or the actual money (£). Either both are expensive as s*** (1000 £) with the machine weight being around 1000 lbs and that small tool 2 lbs OR both are cheap (2£) and that gigantic tool weights 1000 lbs. He said no one wants the big tool. So is it 1000£ because no one wants it or 2£ because no one wants it? I just a curious person about this subject. I'm not a machinist (not affordable or profitable here). I'm not sure if these tools should be expensive or cheap since I know there are small tools that costs a lot.
@ ah, Tony intended 1000lbs and 2lbs, and that they are the same price, but he didn't say how much they costed. I live in the UK though and a pound is more commonly (£) than (lbs)
@ I thought weight. Interestingly, a pound was once defined as the gravitational force of the earth exerted on the amount of silver which cost one pound sterling. (Except it was before the days of Sterling. Or Britain, for that matter, or Asterix the Gaul).
When i was an apprentice i was well known for drilling anything but round holes in whole pieces of plate, which is why i became an electronics engineer :) two holes :)
That feeling when you're bored and tired of the entire internet and refresh youtube on the off chance that Something Good has been uploaded and LO AND BEHOLD IT HAS!
I am no machinist (just love your vids) and this is my second time watching one of your videos about broaches and still have no idea how they work and is very mesmerizing to watch
I have divorced all social media and basically just check for ToT and bad obsession Motorsports vids when I get off work. My workshop is like 200sqft and I have no room for even a MiniLathe, but I'm working up to some metal bendy and cutty things to finish a car project. ToT always reminds me that there always is a way even without the "right" tool to achieve most results
Never seen this channel before but I love all the jokes. Had me laughing just about the whole way through 😂 and very informative as well! Learned a couple things.
I am blessed by finding this channel. Currently a mechanical engineering freshman and ive always wanted to be a craftsman or something of the like. And channels like these and Colin's make me want to pursue my dream even more. Cheers man! Stay awesome. Great content!
@@MrHkil3 Nope, definitely Hex. Look at the angles back at the shoulder section and also the chamfered appearance at the sharp end. If that was square it wouldn't make a hole, if it were hex the chamfers go away and it all makes sense.
I don't really know, but I would think it goes slightly off angle, hence why the taper required to make the final hole parallel. It works by "stabing" little by little with each of the tip.
"This Old Tony" First of all I want to say thank you for your very well done videos. I have learned a ton . With that said I was hoping you could cover a few topics that still frustrate me a bit. 1. Can you cover the numbering and identification numbers for replacible cutting tips like the common triangle ones on the quick change cutting arms. 2. Could you cover the most efficient way to do a taper on round stock in a manual metal lathe. I have a '63 6in Craftsman hobby lathe. 3. Where can I find horizontal milling tools either new or used that will work for my lathe. Thanks again. When Letterman left TV you should have tuner the Late show into a hobbiest Machining show, you sure are talented enough and mor than funny enough! -Dave

Tony, when you dumped out the holes at the holes at the start of the video I counted 47. A pouch that size usually holds 50. Check for holes in the pouch.
The trick is to weigh the package when you get it. It should weigh 50 holes less than an empty envelope.
3 metric holes left in the pouch, or holes in the pouch itself which let out 3 holes?
Underated joke, actually hilarious!
@@charlieinsingapore if it were holes in the pouch, they'd have to be oversized, and you'd definitely notice bigger holes

if this ain't the truth!
guess I'll need a new chandelier.
I dropped my pillow, no time to sleep!
Tony sure dropped everything.
To the bathroom!
3:37 Missed opportunity to change "solutions" on broach to "subscribe".
To be honest, You're the only one youtuber whose subscription messages I actually like and wait for them.
Hi Tony, another inspirational video on my favourite subject of broaches, especially when they are in the end of the shafts so in essence become blind broaches, when you first did the hex broach that was brilliant! And we have adopted some of these techniques into or work as we make bespoke scientific testing machines for the P,P,E, industry. So Thanks Tony, your video has had a great impact on us at work and wanted to thank you for your efforts.
A wonderful intro and dance of the dished end !!! (@ 8:28). Great shooting! Very entertaining and informative. Thank you TOT
Loved the video, learned alot and also the humor is a nice touch. Wife looked at me like what's so funny. Keep it up thumbs up here.
ToT strikes me as the kinda guy who I find absolutely hilarious but his wife can't stand lol.
That sounds like the average married man
@phục êwê You can hear it in his voice as he reads the script under duress.
Don’t disrespect a person you’ve never had any contact with.
Not me, but AvE fits that description to the "T"
1:54 "This is my £1000 filing machine" "And this is my £2 rotary broach. Fun fact: These two cost me about the same price"
Took me a moment.
I'm still not sure if I got it. But I can put all the blame on "language barrier" and avoid judgemental comments.
@ which bit are you having trouble with?
@@RuthlessDutchman
I'm not sure if the 1000 pounds machine (filer machine?) reefers to weight (lbs) or the actual money (£). Either both are expensive as s*** (1000 £) with the machine weight being around 1000 lbs and that small tool 2 lbs OR both are cheap (2£) and that gigantic tool weights 1000 lbs.
He said no one wants the big tool. So is it 1000£ because no one wants it or 2£ because no one wants it?
I just a curious person about this subject. I'm not a machinist (not affordable or profitable here). I'm not sure if these tools should be expensive or cheap since I know there are small tools that costs a lot.
@ ah, Tony intended 1000lbs and 2lbs, and that they are the same price, but he didn't say how much they costed.
I live in the UK though and a pound is more commonly (£) than (lbs)
@ I thought weight. Interestingly, a pound was once defined as the gravitational force of the earth exerted on the amount of silver which cost one pound sterling. (Except it was before the days of Sterling. Or Britain, for that matter, or Asterix the Gaul).
When i was an apprentice i was well known for drilling anything but round holes in whole pieces of plate, which is why i became an electronics engineer :) two holes :)
Your videos are some of my favorite videos on TH-cam across all subjects.
Holy shit, editing on this video is amazing and don't me get started on amount of value it provides.
I honestly thought "starting with something simpler" was going to be slightly oval holes made by everyone with a power drill ever
Thats a guy who really know his way around holes.
It seems he does his best work with ones sans fur........
Thats what she said😏
Correction: He knows his way asquare holes
Even here, amongst friends, the existential nature of the universe grants us no relief. Thanks, Tony.
I think this is the funniest tool related video I’ve ever seen. This humor and editing is freaking great! X)
I appreciate the hell out of your humor Tony. God I love you.
TOT I've been binge watching your stuff again. Thanks for so much entertainment
great work on fitting a square peg in a round hole.
That feeling when you're bored and tired of the entire internet and refresh youtube on the off chance that Something Good has been uploaded and LO AND BEHOLD IT HAS!
I am no machinist (just love your vids) and this is my second time watching one of your videos about broaches and still have no idea how they work and is very mesmerizing to watch
I love the little stop-motion transitions. Caught me off guard when I first noticed. Such quality!
"Not Necessarily the WRONG Way to Do It" tshirts are now a must.
with "I could've come up with a lot worse." in small print.
This old Tony,
where is the MAHO project?!
Ps: I wish Alec Steele would watch your broaching videos!
Yes. That was so cringy to watch
I second that. I died a little bit inside when Alec manhandled that poor lathe.
I am also waiting for the next MAHO video !! :-P
we shall call his lathe , Grond.
I was thinking the same lol....
Not sure why I started laughing uncontrollably at "Boy this guys dumb!" but it hit me just right.
First video I’ve seen of this channel. I have seen the creation of a square hole, I am a believer, and now a subscriber. Good stuff, love the humor.
You are my favorite person on the internet. Keep up the good work, Tony
You don't have to say "square hole", you can just say "squole".
Sir.. This is a Wendys
Been hittin those reps. That p pow. Gettin squole
6:25 thats what you meant when you said that this episode will be dark
"Boy this guy is dumb"
Did you go back in time and get a voice clip from Abom?
Doggfite Probably his own childhood self so at least he can say he consulted an expert
I don't have a garage, nor a shop, but I continue to watch. TOT, you make me laugh. Thanks.
Omfg the fact you say "I don't have a square broach", then immediately show a square broach is just the kind of thing that keeps me coming back lol
Anything Colinfurze related tends to wind up being a slippery slope. Next video: "Jet-powered filing machine" 😳
11:00 drop forged?
eerikhm i love this
Perfect day when This Old Tony shows up. Lifts the Monday Blues.
I have divorced all social media and basically just check for ToT and bad obsession Motorsports vids when I get off work. My workshop is like 200sqft and I have no room for even a MiniLathe, but I'm working up to some metal bendy and cutty things to finish a car project. ToT always reminds me that there always is a way even without the "right" tool to achieve most results
Your vids are a pure joy to watch. Always brightens my day. Thx so much
Never seen this channel before but I love all the jokes. Had me laughing just about the whole way through 😂 and very informative as well! Learned a couple things.
My entire weekend was just made.
Hey tony please could you do a shop tour.
Spam John Saunders to visit him
*”not to be confused with this 1000 pound filing machine”*
We in England call those a wallet. I think in the US it's a 'billfold'
Bill Fold for prezident ?
I am blessed by finding this channel. Currently a mechanical engineering freshman and ive always wanted to be a craftsman or something of the like. And channels like these and Colin's make me want to pursue my dream even more. Cheers man! Stay awesome. Great content!
Great video! You make me laugh, but I love the way to whisk me back in time to the days when I was an engineer. Fabulous!🙂xx
There is no other TH-camr I'm so happy to see a new video notification for. Tony is the only one who should have the bell icon clicked!
😘
"I dont have a sqaure broach" removes square broach from table @1:20 LOVE IT
Oh, that was subtle! Had to watch four times. 😂
that was a hex?
That was a hex broach
@@MrHkil3 Nope, definitely Hex. Look at the angles back at the shoulder section and also the chamfered appearance at the sharp end. If that was square it wouldn't make a hole, if it were hex the chamfers go away and it all makes sense.
9:51
Wait, hold up.
What sort of black magic did I just witness?
Yeah, I don't understand at all how that worked...
I Googled it and the broach is wobbling slightly slowly chipping away at the material as they spin together. Or at least that's how I understood it.
@@AmazingtristanMagic go to about 11:45 in the video below and give it a few minutes. You'll see clearly.

This article may help explain rotary broaching. www.productionmachining.com/articles/rotary-broaching-101
I don't really know, but I would think it goes slightly off angle, hence why the taper required to make the final hole parallel. It works by "stabing" little by little with each of the tip.
Learnt nothing about engineering, here for the comedy, brilliant..
Brilliantly engineered comedy ; )
Damnit Tony, I get a good 3 belly laughs from each of your videos so far. Thanks, because you don't have to, but you do.
"Don't be a square"
"But it's a TOT square"
"Oh that's alright then"
It's hip to be.
To get added use out of your rotary broach, I recommend making round broaches
Actually, that's not as silly as it sounds.
It's much, much sillier.
lmao I love the children's show "no!"
I've watched this video a handful of times and every time the comedic bits make me laugh. I especially laugh at the ending.
First video I've watched as it was recommended and watched a few channel like this but easily one of the funniest channels and videos I've watched!
Start video: “ engage crinkling noises”
"This Old Tony"
First of all I want to say thank you for your very well done videos. I have learned a ton . With that said I was hoping you could cover a few topics that still frustrate me a bit.
1. Can you cover the numbering and identification numbers for replacible cutting tips like the common triangle ones on the quick change cutting arms.
2. Could you cover the most efficient way to do a taper on round stock in a manual metal lathe. I have a '63 6in Craftsman hobby lathe.
3. Where can I find horizontal milling tools either new or used that will work for my lathe.
Thanks again. When Letterman left TV you should have tuner the Late show into a hobbiest Machining show, you sure are talented enough and mor than funny enough!

"This video might be a little dark..." "...the Earth, which is an insignificant speck hurdling through space"
Just what everyone needs! A funny machinist. Love your videos.
This was the funniest machinist video I have ever seen. haha thanks for the laughs!
