Don’t worry, those dreams are perfectly natural. I’m sure one day, not too far in the future, you’ll meet a nice machine tool, hit it off, and do the real thing. Just gotta put yourself out there is all!
I've had those for like 20+ years now, before his videos were around. On the other hand, I liked to watch technical stuff on TV as a baby, and he seems to time travel a lot, so ..
The real goodie of showing only hands is that only the area around your hands need to be tidy... There's probably all sorts of half finished projects, uncleaned tools, a tipped over drawer of bolts and half an old sandwich on the bench we don't see.
For some odd reason your comment made me think of that time TOT karate chopped a cat in half... I wonder how many "test" chops it took to get that one right. Ewwwwww
Found your channel thanks to This Old Tony and you've quickly became my favorite TH-cam chef. You and Binging with Babish should consider doing a collab video, I think it would be amazingly entertaining. You 2 are my favorite chefs to watch, even more so than Gordon Ramsay! Dont tell him I said that please...
Hoping some playful banter kicks back up between the two. I don't really think it was funny to them; maybe some underlying hate, but it was fun for us.
@@thomaslindroos1667 they have mentioned each other, but judging from TOT's time travel video, they're not in contact with each other. I presume there's some sort of magnetic bearing in there.
I found the Project Egress build and was cheering for TOT when I saw that signature green plastic bit. I don't know if I could see it from the moon, but I could definitely see it from here in Switzerland! Well done! Cheers! :-)
"oooo clickspring" first thought. LOVE that project. Got me into his other stuff, but yeah that antikythera project is just mesmerizing. Really spiffy to see proof that ancient artisans could have done something complicated and precise (more or less) with just hand tools and brains.
I'm sitting here on break from making aerospace parts watching a video of aerospace parts being made.... and I'm loving it. EDIT: also, big thanks to you and anyone else contributing to projects like this. One-off mill work is NOT cheap and at least this memeber of the community really appreciates it!
when you get your rotary broach could you please explain how they work and why they need to be rotary because for the life of me i cant understand why you cant just drill a hole and broach that i am not a machinist maybe thats why i cant understand it
@@nikolaiownz eccentric is ok but I don't want to get involved in anything really crazy. Can you please confirm is it actually insane or just a bit odd? Thanks in advance.
Is this a machining channel or what? Nicely done! I was hoping to see a weirder material for your parts like parmesan or limestone, but maybe next time :)
Everything machined to nominal? Assuming all contributors are doing the same, it'll be really interesting to see if their final assembly actually assembles.
I patiently waited all Saturday morning constantly hitting the refresh button. Then suddenly there it was! A new TOT video! I quickly ran around the house yelling and gathering up the family. We all gathered around the couch with cookies to watch.
Congrats on the job! As usual your editing and subtle nods are extremely entertaining! As for the third hole on the bell rocker, my best guess would be an over-center mechanism. A tension spring would connect behind or a compression spring in front of the hinge to lock the system in its two states. Can't wait to see this put together!
So when the national space museum sought out experts to contribute to the prestigious rebuild, they found our doctor of rocket surgery!! Excellent work doctor! And what an honor!! Rare air indeed
As a matter of fact no, you are not the only one here, but you were late, so you gotta bring the beer and pretzels next time. May as well just round it up to enough for 600k, I'm sure TOT's got enough room in his shop; he did get rid of the shaper after all.
Dear This old Tony, I wanted to tell you that you are my... absolutely favorite... TH-cam contributor! i also wanted to congratulate you on your contribution to the Project Egress ehha Project. Hell it seems like only a year ago and you were surface grinding tool holders for no reason! Oh and Blueing than poorly. Again, i wanted to thank you for your great sense of Humor!!! it seems like only yesterday, well maybe 30 years ago when I was a mechanic making things that my manager didn't approve but the company owner loved... Now I sell software and spend my spare time watching This Old Tony! Don't stop what you are doing, god I have already watched all your vids several times already. How may times could I watch Squaring Stock or even CNC part 1 2 3 .... Again, Congratulations on the Project Egress, I kinda teared up a bit when my favorite UTube guy was making something that is so much bigger than all of us! THANK YOU! Oh and I am starting to TIG... And I am NOT welding my trailer with my new HASS Mill on it driving in front of you and your kids! :)
another one of my subscriptions filmed the project egress door assembly, and at the end all the makers plackard was filmed, and YOU WERE LISTED!!!!!!!!!!! SO proud!
I watched as Adam put your parts on and wondered, "Where would I be standing if I were That Old Tony to soak up my moment of fame?" I drew a blank, at which point some millennial from the museum staff came over and told me to snap out of it, and that I needed to move along since I had been in the room beyond the 10 minutes allotted to us. Ultimately, I figured you were probably there in disguise and didn't want any of your fans to recognize you. Yeah, that's what it must have been... ;) It was actually one of the best field trips I've had in a while - kind of a daddy's day out. Thanks for being a part of it!
I'm in the middle of a Bridgeport rebuild, and your endmill-rubbing snapshot finally convinced me to go ahead and order power feeds as well. If by "a lead on a rotary broach set" you mean "a rotary broach set that isn't just as expensive as the freaking Apollo program in the first place, and available to other HSMs as well" count me in!
FYI everyone, the event in DC is indeed FREE. I will likely be going there. Unsure if we will get a chance to meet Adam or if it's a "behind the ropes" type of event.
I was expecting to see you use some Unobtanium instead of the same old dehydrated space aluminum. That was disappointing. And I'm going to look for that opening trick you did and see if I can't debunk that. Although it was refreshing to see that trick done with a yellow cloth instead of the blue ones they always use in Vegas. But overall, not bad. The part you made for NASA is better than the part I made for NASA, or at least it will be when I make a part for NASA.
My shoulder was recently operated on and this was just the thing I needed. Excellent production. Funny how everytime I came up "why this or that" you would answer the question. Thank you for your time and production.
It's like an eraser, you point it at the thing. A glorified garden hose. Hitting that feint brown ring at the water line in the toilet bowl is much more satisfying.
Nice shout out to ClickSpring there Tony. Anybody that doesn't follow him doesn't know what they are missing. Chris is amazing at the precision work he does.
Just watched as many of the Egress videos as possible leading up to the assembly and for a few days after. Simply amazing. Between yours and the NYC guys, like your two the best. The NYC guys are just such a big impressive operation. But your humor is going to to always bring we imperfect makers back to someone we can relate to. Anyway, your pieces were executed perfectly in my opinion and as always, a riot. Thanks for what you provide.
Tony you never disappoint! Every time I think I’ve been overly impressed, you come out with something new. Love watching your progression through a part, very talented machinist. As always, the humor adds a whole level of fun to the learning.Thank you for sharing.
No, it was super easy, barely an inconvenience. And also machining parts to nominal specs is tight! But I guess where the first End Mill welded itself wasn't intended, whoops! Whoopsie! I know he said why he picked the color green but really why was it plastic? I don't know! Fair enough. That sandblast finish is really good though, wow wow wow!
I remember as a 9 yr old boy, watching along with the rest of the world in utter awe and fascination when the Apollo 11 landed on the moon. Every boy I knew at the time and I wanted to be an astronaut. It's a crying shame we've never been back since those too few visits.
Well, they said they were making a replica but didn’t specify replica methods had to be used! Good thing. The lunar module started out with 32K of computer memory and the programmers weren’t sure they could fit the code in that. Relief came when a new computer with 64K arrived and the programmers knew they could fit into that comfortably. (Ah, assembly language!). I bring this up only because I was wondering how much “core” Tony’s router has compared to the lunar module 50 years ago. BTW, that sand blasted finish was genius. Those parts have that “mil-spec” look nailed. Fantastic work all around. As always. P.S. there’s a whole thing out there in the makerverse centering around reproducing parts of Apollo and other space programs. A really great example can be found on the Applied Science channel where he reproduces something called a DSKY. It’s stunning if you haven’t seen it.
Clickspring is stuck in research land. He can't make vids before he defeats the monsters that be (there). IF you ask me, i'm surprised he managed to keep up that pace before, considering he was R&Ding some of the things he was doing (because he's taking a different approach than the rest of the builders).
Last week you were fixing a motorcycle flat tyre and this week your making parts for space. This channel is really taking off! Can't wait to see whats coming next week!🤣😂🤣👍
Love I mean love your videos. Great sense of humor. Great tutorials. I don't understand a lot of it but the way you explain things makes it a little easier. Please never get rid of the tutorials or the humor. Fantastic videos! I sit here and watch him one right after another. There is no other video that I will do that with. Love it love it love it!
This project shows how much work went into the Apollo missions, and you guys are only building the door. A fantastic feat, never to be equalled in the timeframe they had. I met Buzz Aldrin once, the only words I could say to him....you are royalty sir, I commend you.
Can't wait to see your parts pop up in the streamed build! Awesome to know quality craftsmanship is part of these neat exhibits. Thanks Tony! Keep on machining!!!!
Great video. I've made a rotary broach for the lathe before. Used .5" round tool steel, Dished the end, drilled a center drill tapered dimple on the other end. Put it in the rotary table and milled the hex on the end with the dish, had it angled for a bit of relief angle. Put the part in the lathe, put the rotary broach against the hole, offset the tailstock just a little bit to one side, and pressed it against the hole with a live center. Worked great. I did it for the swingarm pivot on a motorcycle I made so that shaft could turn a threaded collar to add preload to the thrust bearings. Thank you for the video!
George Sconyers They did a refurbish a used Apollo Guidance Computer on another channel, although it included some non-flyable workarounds, such as needing to be hooked up to the test system to load code and turning off some safety features.
It's a trap! First you get a lathe. Then you need tooling. Then you buy a mill. Next thing you know you're searching ebay for 60 year old surface grinders. You have been warned.
@@barrishautomotive the 60 yr old surface grinder is going to look great next to my 50 year old bench grinder and 40 year old drill press. Good thing I already live in New England.
Nice job Tony......I was 11years old, the moon landing had a massive impact on me at that impressionable age. An honour to watch you during this re-creation. Garry UK (The English bit)
As a German, I must admit to find the abbreviation of "This Old Tony" mildly disturbing. On the other hand it underlines that a part is finished quite conclusively, when the word "TOT" is being forced into it.
Just watched the build with the multiple pieces needing a little love to make them fit. But paying attention the one lady Jen was complementing the bracket TOT made and that it fit perfect 👍
I love TOTs videos, and this is one of the first ones I watched. After I watched it I watched the Project Egress build and found it very unsatisfying. I'm an engineer and one of the aspects I really enjoy about TOTs videos is that they "work" or "do something". Whereas the Project Egress build just had to look pretty. While I understand there are a great many people who enjoy engineering art projects, I'm not one of them.
I've found that for deep corners like that, it helps to use an HSM or trochcoidal interpolation style path to cut the radius in several steps. The trick is to keep the radial engagement of the cutter from spiking as it gets into the corner, which causes the "flex" of the tool to change direction and amplitude sharply. A simple way of doing this is to approach the corner as two features, you stop halfway around and arc out then back in. CAD would calculate the size segments needed to match the radial engagement of the preceding cut and fraction the feature into a trochcoidal path. Or you can ream or bore the actual radius in the corner a few thou undersize and clean up with the finish pass.
They said they can't build the engines of the Saturn V rocket (f1) because they don't have the craftsmanship and skills of the workers back then anymore. Maybe you can help them.
@@cameronwebster6866 NASA looked at doing it, and decided that they would basically have to build several engines just to figure out the methods and alloys and such, and it would be cheaper to go with a new engine designed for modern technologies.
Get up close to one and you’ll understand. It’s insane, especially the detail around how they flow cold fuel around the hot exit cone to keep it from melting.
It's exactly the way it is at my day job - we build the thing, the project manager asks for a bunch of tiny last minute changes because he sees ways it could be better now that he can actually work with it - which is great, except no-one writes any of it down, so now when we go back and work on it we accidentally undo some of those little changes from the initial design so now the thing doesn't work, and we have to do even more work to figure out what we broke and go back and fix it.
I am watching NYC CNC's video right now, and they show a pic of the whole door, assembled. The smaller piece you made is hard to distinguish, there are several just like it, but the larger assembly is obvious. It's a corner pivot for the locking assembly. You can clearly see the fancy nut and everything, so you will definitely be able to see your parts when they are in space!
For anyone looking for the parts in situ, pause the Project Egress build at 15:10 on Adam Savage's channel. The bellcrank is towards the top left of the door, and the other piece is near the bottom left. Look for the green bushing and copper pin, respectively.
Congrats on locking down such a prestigious project, Tony. That's amazing, man! You were definitely the right guy for the job. Hopefully this will help you go even farther beyond that and be able to really test your potential. So cool.
You know you watch too much TOT when you have dreams about machining despite having never touched a milling machine or a lathe.
Don’t worry, those dreams are perfectly natural. I’m sure one day, not too far in the future, you’ll meet a nice machine tool, hit it off, and do the real thing.
Just gotta put yourself out there is all!
I've had those for like 20+ years now, before his videos were around.
On the other hand, I liked to watch technical stuff on TV as a baby, and he seems to time travel a lot, so ..
just as me, i touched lathe, but not seen any milling machine ever...(From india)
It's true...it happened to me twice this week...
OMG, me too! If I had been born 20 years later than I was, I am sure I would have been a machinist or mechanical engineer.
The real goodie of showing only hands is that only the area around your hands need to be tidy...
There's probably all sorts of half finished projects, uncleaned tools, a tipped over drawer of bolts and half an old sandwich on the bench we don't see.
It also deeply satisfies my disembodied hand fetish...
For some odd reason your comment made me think of that time TOT karate chopped a cat in half... I wonder how many "test" chops it took to get that one right. Ewwwwww
I've been hoping that everything off camera is a wreck too, otherwise I can't live with my self.
I would love to get a whole shop tour although it would take a bit of the magic. Maybe on a second channel? Anybody else feeling like me?
I just assumed he's always working only in his underwear...
Loving everything about this ! Even the intro.

Easily my favourite TH-camr :)
I emagine your pug just got back from another dimension.
I love it when he uses tools improperly. A cold chisel to separate parts. Classic.
“...Meow!”
So that’s what you and Clickspring were doing on the moon! Getting reference dimensions from the actual parts. Sneaky Tony, really sneaky!
"oooo clickspring" first thought. LOVE that project. Got me into his other stuff, but yeah that antikythera project is just mesmerizing. Really spiffy to see proof that ancient artisans could have done something complicated and precise (more or less) with just hand tools and brains.
@@TheActionBastard no it's made from brass.
Copper pivot in aluminum oh my! The gall of you! Love the 400 grit patina. It really made the parts pop and look like the real ones.
All the best,

Sez the guy who's part of this build blew away Tony's parts... Which blew away every other part made for the project....

I was hoping to see a weirder material for your parts like parmesan or limestone, but maybe next time :)
I think Tony used the last of his supply of unobtanium on the go-cart project.
I'm still waiting for uncle Bumblefuck to make a part for Egress out of a potato. On the Haas of course :D
Yes, Yes Parmesan! mmmmmmmmm cheese.
The problem with making parts out of blocks of ice is they always seem to disappear in shipping.
@@djordjeblaga7815 "Houston, we have a 'hotdog down a hallway' situation..."
Everything machined to nominal? Assuming all contributors are doing the same, it'll be really interesting to see if their final assembly actually assembles.
They'd be lucky. My guess is Adam Savage is going to get a ton of practice in turning sleeves, using reamers, milling shims...
Of course everything will fit together. What do you think those gazillion buck space hammers are for
If the parts don't fit together easily, I guess they'll just have to get savage on it 😉
If all the parts don't fit, they'll call on Adam at ABOM79 to fix them all!
It'll all be shrink fit. I think Adam will be able to flame fit it all just fine. Never mind the fact that Jimmy Diresta made his parts from wood...
My name is Dan and i love your quick wit. The internet was made for you and people like you. keep going.

Wait what? No, this is the thing where he did the part.
Congrats on the job! As usual your editing and subtle nods are extremely entertaining! As for the third hole on the bell rocker, my best guess would be an over-center mechanism.

P.S. there’s a whole thing out there in the makerverse centering around reproducing parts of Apollo and other space programs. A really great example can be found on the Applied Science channel where he reproduces something called a DSKY. It’s stunning if you haven’t seen it.
LMAO Clickspring antikythera reference? Deep cut, friend. Deep, deep cut. Impressed.
Clickspring is stuck in research land. He can't make vids before he defeats the monsters that be (there). IF you ask me, i'm surprised he managed to keep up that pace before, considering he was R&Ding some of the things he was doing (because he's taking a different approach than the rest of the builders).
I just watched the assembly and was able to pick out the parts you made. good job.
Last week you were fixing a motorcycle flat tyre and this week your making parts for space. This channel is really taking off! Can't wait to see whats coming next week!🤣😂🤣👍
If NASA has 3,142 clones of ToT, we could go back to the moon 🌑 for the low cost of 3,143 new trials motorcycles 🚀
Chainsaw powered Saturn V
China made it
@survivaltest 370 the original ToT
earliest ive been to a TOT video! glad i could relish in this deliciousness
I see what you did there!
Love I mean love your videos. Great sense of humor. Great tutorials. I don't understand a lot of it but the way you explain things makes it a little easier. Please never get rid of the tutorials or the humor. Fantastic videos! I sit here and watch him one right after another. There is no other video that I will do that with. Love it love it love it!
thanks Wade!
This project shows how much work went into the Apollo missions, and you guys are only building the door. A fantastic feat, never to be equalled in the timeframe they had. I met Buzz Aldrin once, the only words I could say to him....you are royalty sir, I commend you.
Nice :D I loved the part with the metal
Plastic racism. Plasticism?

Lithium would have been lighter. It comes dehydrated too.
Can't wait to see your parts pop up in the streamed build! Awesome to know quality craftsmanship is part of these neat exhibits. Thanks Tony! Keep on machining!!!!
Great video. I've made a rotary broach for the lathe before. Used .5" round tool steel, Dished the end, drilled a center drill tapered dimple on the other end. Put it in the rotary table and milled the hex on the end with the dish, had it angled for a bit of relief angle. Put the part in the lathe, put the rotary broach against the hole, offset the tailstock just a little bit to one side, and pressed it against the hole with a live center. Worked great. I did it for the swingarm pivot on a motorcycle I made so that shaft could turn a threaded collar to add preload to the thrust bearings.
Thank you for the video!
Just my thought but is this project just an initial test to see if youtubers could produce an actual moon lander? Talk about a "government" project.
That's a helluva project the youtoob viewers could contribute to - using some sort of kickstarter style funding!!
If they do an open source "Code a totally hypothetical moon lander!" project, We'll know for sure.
George Sconyers They did a refurbish a used Apollo Guidance Computer on another channel, although it included some non-flyable workarounds, such as needing to be hooked up to the test system to load code and turning off some safety features.
It's the Cicada 3301 of machining.
I think Tony would be proud of me, I got a Mitutoyo stand yesterday! Now to get a lathe.

Sounds like you got the hard part out of the way first. 😁
It's a trap! First you get a lathe. Then you need tooling. Then you buy a mill. Next thing you know you're searching ebay for 60 year old surface grinders. You have been warned.
@@barrishautomotive the 60 yr old surface grinder is going to look great next to my 50 year old bench grinder and 40 year old drill press. Good thing I already live in New England.
Nice job Tony......I was 11years old, the moon landing had a massive impact on me at that impressionable age. An honour to watch you during this re-creation. Garry UK (The English bit)
I really appreciate the hand made aspect of this build, nyc cnc had 5 axis and wizardry magic machines
As a German, I must admit to find the abbreviation of "This Old Tony" mildly disturbing. On the other hand it underlines that a part is finished quite conclusively, when the word "TOT" is being forced into it.
And here I was assuming you were using dissimilar metals to avoid cold welding in space.
Just watched the build with the multiple pieces needing a little love to make them fit. But paying attention the one lady Jen was complementing the bracket TOT made and that it fit perfect 👍
I love TOTs videos, and this is one of the first ones I watched. After I watched it I watched the Project Egress build and found it very unsatisfying. I'm an engineer and one of the aspects I really enjoy about TOTs videos is that they "work" or "do something". Whereas the Project Egress build just had to look pretty. While I understand there are a great many people who enjoy engineering art projects, I'm not one of them.
I always thought the cat was the source of space aluminium! 🤔
It's from schrodinger's cat of course.
Unfortunately cats can only make extruded parts.
Space aluminum gave birth to titanium, rareium, and the red-headed step child: extinctium.
The kitty makes the raisins.
@@rustyaxelrod they should not because the taste is awful!
Don't let your kids play with that dehydrated space aluminum. That would be terrible if they swallowed it.
Congrats on getting chosen to work on parts for Project Egress.
I've found that for deep corners like that, it helps to use an HSM or trochcoidal interpolation style path to cut the radius in several steps. The trick is to keep the radial engagement of the cutter from spiking as it gets into the corner, which causes the "flex" of the tool to change direction and amplitude sharply. A simple way of doing this is to approach the corner as two features, you stop halfway around and arc out then back in. CAD would calculate the size segments needed to match the radial engagement of the preceding cut and fraction the feature into a trochcoidal path. Or you can ream or bore the actual radius in the corner a few thou undersize and clean up with the finish pass.
The 56 thumbs downs are from people who think the moon landing was faked.
They said they can't build the engines of the Saturn V rocket (f1) because they don't have the craftsmanship and skills of the workers back then anymore.
Maybe you can help them.
the real reason is because the builders didn't properly document all the changes made.
jokes aside, thats probably the worst excuse i've ever heard in my life.
Though tony would crush competition.
@@cameronwebster6866 NASA looked at doing it, and decided that they would basically have to build several engines just to figure out the methods and alloys and such, and it would be cheaper to go with a new engine designed for modern technologies.
Get up close to one and you’ll understand. It’s insane, especially the detail around how they flow cold fuel around the hot exit cone to keep it from melting.
It's exactly the way it is at my day job - we build the thing, the project manager asks for a bunch of tiny last minute changes because he sees ways it could be better now that he can actually work with it - which is great, except no-one writes any of it down, so now when we go back and work on it we accidentally undo some of those little changes from the initial design so now the thing doesn't work, and we have to do even more work to figure out what we broke and go back and fix it.
I am watching NYC CNC's video right now, and they show a pic of the whole door, assembled. The smaller piece you made is hard to distinguish, there are several just like it, but the larger assembly is obvious. It's a corner pivot for the locking assembly. You can clearly see the fancy nut and everything, so you will definitely be able to see your parts when they are in space!
Your videos are pure genius. Love it. Thank you.
I've been looking for a good source of dehydrated aluminum, you got a guy?
Same guy that supplies the Philadelphia bell crank.
wouldn't recommend, it tastes very dry they say
Keith Fenner's got a lot of desiccant, I know that
Would transparent aluminum do?
@@BobH7777 Sure, but then you'll have to paint it to find it.
[Adam Savage liked this]
For anyone looking for the parts in situ, pause the Project Egress build at 15:10 on Adam Savage's channel. The bellcrank is towards the top left of the door, and the other piece is near the bottom left. Look for the green bushing and copper pin, respectively.
Watching Apollo 8 as I sit here. Everything about it is a childhood dream. This sure makes me think about pre retirement Tony. Thanks a bunch fella.
As always your videos are out of this world. Bet you weren’t expecting a comment like that😊
Took me a bit there to get that one. TOT has amazing perception skills.
god, watching this reminds me i need to lookout for the next Clickspring video
It's all good, you've got at least another year or three....
He mentioned on his patreon that he's been temporarily sidetracked on some academic research related to the Antikythera mechanism.
pileofstuff I'm unfortunately not a patron to him, but thank you for telling me!
@@johnh9661 I think you'll be impressed with what he's been doing once he finally gets to the point where he can release it.
Whew, almost lost my cookies on that last bit! Happy New Years 2024
Congrats on locking down such a prestigious project, Tony. That's amazing, man! You were definitely the right guy for the job. Hopefully this will help you go even farther beyond that and be able to really test your potential. So cool.
