@@zygmuntthecacaokakistocrat6589 James may had students build the bridge and spitfire replica for him. he cant take full credit. as far as i know he just had the idea and put the plan into action but made everyone else do the work. I still enjoy watching James May but he isn't a TOT competitor.
Tony, thank you for the videos. I would like to get involved in building a small hobby machine shop with both the mill and lathe. Would you have any suggestions of something affordable? I'd really like a Bridgeport, but it's not in this cards right now. Thank you.
Mind = Blown: How simple This Old Tony makes these projects look. I've been watching him for over a year now. Keeps me entertained and I learn something!
Just some minor tips for using cold blue. Make sure the part is as de-greased as possible, solvents like acetone work well and evaporate fast. And to get the best possible finish, warm it up until it's uncomfortable to touch, but it doesn't need to be any hotter. Blue the part. That's it. It will give far better results.
@@facundolencina2528 Hola Facundo, creo que a lo que él se refiere es a un pavonado en frío, como el que se utiliza en las armas y algunas herramientas para dejar el hierro negro (una cobertura para que no se oxide)
Oh thank heavens. TOT archive videos and repeats. Which means there is something GOOD to watch on TH-cam. Time to sit back, relax, have a few laughs and learns a few things.
Your videos are some of my favorites...honest. The combination of professional quality video skills, coupled with your obvious knowledge of machining is apparent. But, adding a light hearted touch and teaching me things with out saying one word is really impressive. Thank you very much.
Googled it up cuz I have no clue and the first result was “Never Mind The Buzzcocks,” a British game show: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Never_Mind_the_Buzzcocks
Tony, I'm not a machinist (have some lathe training, but not much practice) but after watching this video (and when the need came) I've made a drawbar too! There is this small press drill / milling machine at work. The guys were using a stock threaded rod with some nuts to simulate the drawbar since the original had the threads stripped. You can't imagine how that annoyed me. I took matters into my hands and made one! Thanks for the video. Keep them coming! ;-)
Fantastic work Tony as always ! Nice change of style to the lay-back-and-enjoy format. Gives Stefan and Keith the night off . . . Next project for you Tony - little fixture to lightly hold the punches in a row so that the letters are straight and level (7:16).
32 years ago I collected a diploma of machinist from my technical school. Never worked as. Now I start to regret. :) I like some of Your tools esp. this hex holder for cutting bolt head. In our school workshops we have been using a divider, which was big and tricky for a boy I was. And of course THE SAW :D U made my day. Thanks.
very crisp video as usual but... especially useful for me because I've just bought a 1930s Huré mill here in France and it does not seem to have a drawbar... Now I know how straightforward it is to make one (sort of). Thanks for the inspiration. I would have never bought that mill without your videos, making me feel (for no real reason) that I needed such a machine. My wife may think i'm nuts, but I won't regret it... Keep on trucking ! (from France)
I've never done any lathe work with metal or wood, and have limiting steelworking experience, but I know experience when I see it! Beautiful piece you built, and it's good to see you built something with a tool- for that tool! Self sufficiency at its best.
These 503 seconds made me smile - then grin - and then I realized, that this is more connectable than anything on TV. Finally made me follow through on what I've been wanting to do for a long time: get rid of the damn thing. It's on ebay right now! Too bad I can't exchange it for a lathe or mill of my own. And there's no shop in town that offers people to use such machines on their own. Darn.
@barkebaat Just like shaping wood except the glue(welding) is stronger and when you cut it (metal) short you can make it bigger again. Wood? You just burn it and make the part over. Done both, wood and metal. Still trying to decide which one is the more satisfying. Both materials are as expensive as each other now days.
Very nicely done Sir, thank you for sharing, as a novice hobby machinist it is amazing to watch what can be done. First time I have seen that collet holder being used.
I know, it's now 4 yrs later. I can't help that now and have to say; Watching this is hypnotic, especially with no talking, like being there doing it yourself, Thanks Tony, love your vids, well, 99.9999% of them 🤓.
Colchester Student used these when I was a school kid used to be made in my nearby town . I have a Boxford another great British classic but built in 1948 but has done very little work and only brass and wood turning . Beds like new . Nice touch to show different thread .
One thing I like about your video's besides the obvious of edjabacating me on all things machining, is that your having as much fun producing by creative editing your video's as you are machining!
I’m Really impressed. I was wondering how boring a making drawbar would be, but I was mistaken. I love the methodology of making the bolt head, wow. The blueing was also a nice touch. I was going to make a simple drawbar by using threaded rod and welding a nut on one end but now I think the method in the video is far better.
At first I thought this was going to be a David Richard channel pastiche and was expecting some steam with the musical introduction. Anyway, what a fantastic video and amazing channel you have. Thanks for taking time to demonstrate so many of your technical skills and varied video production styles. What an inspiration!
Really liked the flavour of the lighting on the opening shots of this vid, now if I could only figure out how to smuggle a machine shop up 2 dozen floors into my appartment.
I always tell myself I have time to watch one of your vids, then I watch like 3 or 4...Great Job on them, and thank you for spending time to make them and share, I would said your in the top ten I like for learning things. Keep up the good work.
Brings back memories from my apprenticeship as a fitter back in '93-'96 (in Denmark). My very first job at the lathe/mill was to fabricate some soft claws for the vice of an automated drill elsewere in the factory. And the CEO stood at the end of the lathe and watched me work for a couple of minutes. Man, was I nervous!
6:30 what do the notches symbolize? I've seen them on reverse threaded fittings like on propane tanks before... But from earlier in the video it threads into the tool holder with right-hand threads 🤔
It appears (based on a few minutes of Googling) that it can be used to designate left-hand thread, but could also be used to designate the grade of a nut, or that it's metric? What it's being used to designate seems to be dependent on the manufacturer. Knowing that, I'd guess that it's being used in this case so that Tony can distinguish it at a glance from his ISO30 drawbar, without having to look at the stamping on the top.
I need to make a draw-bar for my Benchmaster Tools mill. so I'm going to give this a shot. Also, I'm listening to lo-fi hip hop while watching this is like a sound track. it's making my day better.
I'm design engineer of worldwide brand precise metalworking CNC machines and for me this work with oldschool turning machine looks like stunning mechanical magic. Mesmerizing. Oh yeah, and plasma saw is super cool :)
I have absolutely no idea what's going on here, as I watch it for the first time; but I'm fascinated by it nonetheless - it reminds me of metal shop back in High School;... so cool!
Pardon my ignorance, but I sincerely want to know the purpose of the cut at 6:28. Does it serves any mechanical purpose, like for retention in the socket or something?
Tony, great video but missed your little jokes... Love the visual effects that got some of the viewer's attention... good one and need more on those short format vids. Again, well done and thanks for sharing your knowledge and techniques. Rgds, Alain
u still teach me new stuff, i have just got my 1st mini lathe and made a mill? out of a Dremel drill press with a cross slide left right forwards backwards, with out people like you all i would have is my books { they r good } but learning by watching is cool thanks
can you do a series on lathe operating. I would love to learn even the basics, you could call it:"getting Lathed".
That's a perfect idea!! And also hilarious.😂
AvE says he seconds this idea

Turned out.....
"Lathed out"

Most underrated "making stuff" channel on youtube.
I have the 2018 version of this lathe and it does Metric, Neutral, English, Spanish and Chinese.
so accurate, nothing, obsolete, que? and coronavirus?
I have the liberal version, it does Muh superior, gender neutral, reecist colonizer, no border, and pay me to shill for yu.

Tony not only are you a craftsman but an entertainer too. Keep doing the good work buddy.
I really like the parting tool effect on the hex nut! A slight notch makes it look really pro...
I'm a woodworker. I don't even know what a drawbar is, but I still liked the video. Shaping metal is magic as far as I'm concerned

Awesome just comes oozing out of your pores.
I'm more of a wood-working person myself, but your videos are simply mesmerizing.
This is what I do, every day, at work. Yet for some reason I like watching other guy's machining videos. Fun. Nice work!
How I wish I had such skill. Am always amazes at the ability of really good machinists - thank you.

I was surprised not to see "subscribe" spelled out at 6:57 (and relieved to see they weren't in alphabetical order!) Outrageous work!
Finally! A project I think I could handle. I was able to follow without getting lost. Thank you for all these videos.
you do very nice work my brother. always a joy watching your videos......even when they arent filled with your special brand of humor.
Nice job. Good thing you leveled your lathe first. You probably couldn't sleep at night knowing your drawbar has a .002" taper. Much better this way.

Your editing and shot composition is so well done. Loved the switch and music start at the beginning. Subtle excellence.
I love watching other machinists, the simple things like those slip over clamps for the vice. Learn something clever everyday
It's like poetry written in metal shavings rather than words.
Never used a mill in my life- still quite mesmerizing.
I love the use of that hex collet holder to mill the hex head!
Another good vid!

I have no idea why you build that, or what makes it better than the old one, but I loved watching you build it.
Ovidiu-Florin BOGDAN nmtb has a different thread pitch (SAE / US Imperial) than the ISO drawbar (metric). See the leveling a lathe video.
Making tools and accessories for other tools is one of my favorite kind of projects. Nice build!
great video, tony. really nice camera work, editing AND machining
Thank you Tony for your videos.

I bet to mark the difference between the ISO vs NMBT bar. With the notch you could tell by eye or by feel real quick.
Heh heh - pesky live centre hole always turns up after you turn the thread..... Spectacular channel Tony - thanks so much!

Looking forward to the drawbridge, any chance of doing a drawn and quartered?
Tony, Your vids are excellent! Can't wait for the "Draw bridge" project!! Thanks for the laughs....Razor!
Another brilliant vid, and so well explained! (A picture says a thousand words)
Nice plasma saw you got there 1:44
Is it your own modification or commercial one?
Faust I believe that is an import energon saw. Imported from Cybertron!
Came with the interocitor parts kit perhaps?
Sounds interesting, I have to look into that! Yes I might be mistaken, was judging it mainly by the color of the arc.
I have never seen such a saw before, does anyone know what kind is it?
Its a band saw with CGI.
Pardon my ignorance, but I sincerely want to know the purpose of the cut at 6:28. Does it serves any mechanical purpose, like for retention in the socket or something?
No idea what a drawbar is, but your vidz simply rock! Big fan all the way from the middle east!
That is beyond slick. Great job !

What are the slots for that are cut into the hexhead?

The slot is a general indication of a left hand thread usually...like on propane or some sprecialty screws.
