TomHaroldArt That’s what my wife says 😂. Then I correct her and she giggles every time I say “no, it’s this old tony.” Then she says “I love that.” 💁♂️
Haha mine just calls TOT and AVE the hand guy videos. It normal goes something like "when you're finished watching the hand guy can you do this" I try to explain the difference and show her but she gets this look on her face and normally stops me and says hunny I just don't care
ToT testing the boundaries of his content. "I wonder if I can ramble on about nothing for 15 minutes while I half-heartedly clean the shop." The fans apparently say you can!
We can't bust heads like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to tell stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe. So, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days nickels had pictures of bumble bees on them. Gimme five bees for a quarter, you'd say. Now was I... Oh yeah! The important thing was that I had an onion tied to my belt at the time. You couldn't get white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones.
Nah. This is not a TOT vid. The real TOT would have just lathe time traveled back to the point of a clean shop and progressed from there. Your not fooling us again. How much of that dirt was metric dirt anyway? Merry Christmas Tony.
Jared Maddox “back” is a relative term in lathe based time travel. I would agree with you if you only considered lathe time travel in imperial.But if metric was used! Any thing is possible. Metric time travel can give you a relative state of clean.
Three years later on a dark, depressing night and with Christmas at least 13 months away, I find much needed distraction and comfort in this hand-choreography masterpiece. It deserves an Oscars-category. For “Best hand actor” or “Most used black sweater”, they can skip the nominations and go straight to the price giving ceremonies.
I just watched 15 minutes of a man's hands cleaning metal chips from his shop while listening to him tell a random story, and I loved every second of it. Merry Christmas!
Reminds me of the story of old Pete. Old Pete worked the booth of a city parking lot. He took people's money every morning. Pete was professional, clean, sharply dressed and always friendly. He worked 5 days a week, year in and year out. People came and people went and Pete was always there. 20 years roll by and one day... Pete wasn't there. Nobody knew what to do. Finally, someone did some calling. Every department they reached in the city knew nothing about that parking lot or Pete. Finally, someone with the city knowing of all the city parking lots was reached. They knew nothing of that particular lot, it was not a city lot and Pete was certainly not a city employee. "Pete" took money from people 5 days a week, every week for 20 years then "Pete"... took off.
Tony, thank you for giving me a laugh this Christmas. It hasn't been a very happy one, due to the loss of someone dear to me this year. Your videos are brilliant and they have given me more laughs than you can possibly know. I'm so glad that I found your channel and thank you for the great content. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Back in the day when I was a wee lad, I worked with an old guy with the initial "LBJ"! He was usually pleasantly primed by the afternoon. So he bitched at me when all of OUR maintenance work didn't get done. He finally got the boot when they found him in the parking lot in the trunk of his car with his big red nose, curled up with his bottle of seedless Red #4!!! (He had hinged the backseat back to allow him access to the car's trunk). He was very cagey about it, but when the supervisors couldn't find him, they set up a watch on his car; and they actually caught him climbing out of the trunk into the backseat of his locked car!!! 😎👽
Make that 3 of us. Our work vehicles were also “retired” police cars with the luxurious rubber lined floors, spot light, and 150k+ “gently” driven miles on them. Never saw so many people slyly try and put on their seatbelts in traffic before. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
I just finished my similar cleanup - it was a memorable mess but now my tools are clean again and I found things that I had been looking for for a while. I like those cheapest paint brushes for swarf sweeping - the thin ones with the unpainted handles - because they can get into places that the bigger more expensive brushes can't and they don't fluff up near as quick. MC&HNY.
WTF did I just watch? 15 minutes of a pair of hands cleaning a machine shop... and I didn't want it to stop! Do I need to see someone? ;( This is HANDS DOWN better than pay TV... AND no adds
Amazing ! I went out to the shop to clean it up moved one item on the bench which triggered a domino effect and knocked something over at the back wall Thoroughly frightened I headed in to find an old tony Christmas story. I'll clean the shop next year.
The instant I heard Mr. Pete on the phone I started laughing like a "patient" and had to excuse myself from Christmas dinner. The way you all collaborate is iconic. Still hoping to see a cameo from AvE who sounds suspiciously like John Goodman the actor to me
*I especially liked the inserts of objects found amongst the metal chips. An object found that you'd been looking for for some time. The object found that you didn't even know was missing. The object found that even though you weren't sure what it's real purpose was, you were pretty sure it had no business being there. Merry Christmas to you and yours as I look forward to a whole New Year of TOT.*
Absolutely the funniest thing I have seen this year, on a channel that is always fun to watch. The guest appearance from Mr Pete was the icing on the cake. Thanks for the laughs and the ongoing education. I wish I had more thumbs with which to up.
Yeah... I told my lady I was "going to get something upstairs" -- when actually I just wanted to listen to old tony talk about kissy noises from prisoners.
Thanks Tony, We were just cruising the tube for some vintage Motown Christmas music when I found this, I showed my wife and we happily tuned in. What an enjoyable traditional you just started. Merry Christmas to you all!
Hi This Old Tony! I just wanted to let you know that my hubby and I love this Christmas story so much and find it so atmospheric that now we like to listen to it every Christmas while we trim our Christmas tree. 😆 Absolutely true. Yayyyy kids, it’s time to listen to the This Old Tony Story while we hang up the stockings!! We hope that one day there might be another Christmas Edition story to go along with all the every day of the year fantastic This Old Tony TH-cam. And watching/listening to you clean up the shop is very soothing - all the metal shavings are just so Christmassy. 😂
Thanks Tony. My wife saw your video and now she wants my to clean my shop. I tryed telling her I had different machines then you but she did not buy that. It did end OK. I told her I needed some new tools to do the cleaning and she said I could get whatever I needed (wanted). All is well. Happy New Year.
I’m now having a conundrum, I don’t believe your shop ever gets this dirty but I also don’t know how you could make them look so convincingly dirty looking.
Actually, shops get dirty without you being there. You don't ever actually have to work, the chips just manifest themselves in the chip trays and on all control surfaces. I have years of evidence of this...
@@garethbaus5471 you guys are telling me that you don't do a marginal clean after every use? My shop ain't sparkles but there's no metal shavings to be seen. Cleaning the shavings after every use keeps it from "manifesting" I suppose 😂
@@EAGLINWRX I try to remove as much as possible off of surfaces to reduce the fire hazard but at least with most of the stuff I do it can take an hour or 2 for everything to settle.
I am browsing for old lathes since a few months now and now, just in time for Christmas - I found a big old beautiful lathe by „Ehrlich“ Germany. You, Tony, really put the last missing piece into buying one in place. I can’t wait to restore it and work with it! Thank you and merry Christmas!
Watching you clean these machines is making me pretty nostalgic for the job I had during college where one of my main duties was to clean the shop at the end of the day. Surprisingly therapeutic.
Hehe, done it again. I don't often laugh out loud watching TH-cam videos, but yours are an exception. Thank you so very much. Hope you had a great Christmas day and best wishes for the new year.
Watching this on Christmas Eve, home alone, because covid ruined seeing my family and doing christmas this year. Thanks for the video TOT, I like seeing all your machines in a cleaned state 😊
Bravo!!! Merry Christmas! Nothing better than a warm, ironic and heartfelt story to put us all in the Christmas mood. Thank you ToT. Merry Christmas to all.
Great story Tony, and so well told. You pack so much in, the cameos, the story, the surprise ending, and the half assed cleaning which seems to have had such an effect on the neatness folks. I can hear Stefan screaming from here.... Happy New Year to all !
Thank you very much, ToT. My day was kinda tailing off a bit but now I'm all fired up to go brush off my own chips & I don't even have any machinery. God bless Canada & all those who something, something.
Thanks for the story! Happy Holidays! Thanks for all the work you put into your content, it is very enjoyable and something I look forward to watching.
Just watched this for the third time. It's bloody May, not Christmas, & I'm still loving watching a guy clear away swarf. ToT, you have the Gift of the Gab.
I should give you a thumbs down for the longest shaggy dog story, but like others, the story made my Christmas night merry as you wove the tangled web. Merry Christmas TOT, by the way, the security guard image made me think of ABOM, not sure why...
I have just spent 15 minutes essentially watching you clean your tooling/workshop T.O.T!?! And I am not disappointed. Thank you sir, have a Merry Christmas. I look forward to your videos in the new year
God rest ye merry gentlemen Let nothing you dismay Remember Tony our hero Is working on Christmas Day To save us all from sloth's power By cleaning out the chip tray Oh tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy Oh tidings of comfort and joy
I just dropped out of college to pursue welding and I've been watching this channel all week. Love your work, love your teaching style, and love your voice. Thank you for contributing to the welding community. Merry Christmas, my guy!
@Evi1M4chine Jeez don't come to Melbourne, Australia then because this city is coffee mad. Starbucks didn't stand a chance here with the crap swil they call coffee.
Excellently done! Especially since I’ve had young boys a long time ago (now grandkids that can do nothing wrong) and sometimes sacrifices must be made for some peace. Some sacrifices are more expensive and also more important than others. Merry Christmas and all the best to you and yours!
Tony you tell your story how ever you want and use what ever brush you want to clean your machines, it’s all good by me! I’m old now and your teaching and old man new tricks, you have good holidays.
Reminiscent of Ronnie Corbett's segment in the TV show called the Two Ronnies (back in the 70s). Wonderful meandering. Thanks ToT for a great year and wishing you and your family all the best for 2020. Cheers, David
Admitting to having been the clipboard warrior to this audience.. brave sir. Just downright ballsy. Great story, thanks! Made my morning stress for the upcoming shit show that much more tolerable. Shit show still incoming, but now I'm ready.
Cannot quite describe the art and the perfection of that art but ToT is the master of his craft and the world is better for his musings. Merry Christmas and counting on more fabulous ToT in 2020!
Dear mr T. O. Tony You and your small stories has been in my life for just about a year, and words can’t express my joy og your videos... and I’m an economist/analyst 🥳🥳🥳 keep up the extraordinary good job, except for The Town ✌️🤘💪😎 Best of xmas and happy new year Juls
You know how ToT never does a wide shot of the whole shop?
I think it's because the shop is an absolute mess.
Those are the wide shots, it's pretty close in there.
Thanks for the
Maybe that’s because it’s the machine shop....in the prison!!😮
I think it's because he's in witness protection.
CK. don't knock it till you try it! Messy shops rule!!!
I just watched someone clean a shop for 15 minutes and I was disappointed when it was over. You have a special gift ToT, Merry Christmas.
My girl think I'm so weird because of my fascination of how he presents his thoughts
This Old Tony, I really enjoyed watching you do a slow, inefficient, and mediocre job cleaning. Merry Christmas 🎄
he definitely did a city job of cleaning.
This gave me a serious chuckle
I was watching this one, laughing, and my girlfriend walked in the room and immediately said, "Is that that Tony guy?" Yes, yes it is.

How about unpublished?
Somebody get this man a shop vac. Even a crappy one. Brush attachments come with them.
Can't really make this video with a shop vac running the whole time, now can ya?
Then the next video would be about cleaning the shop vac. The never ending story . . .
Surely AvE has a pile of parts that could be made into a shop vac project.

ohhh ive seen WAYY worse. imagine afro hair on a brush.
Maybe Mr Pete can give him a new one as a thank you when Tony picks him up and drives him home . Lol.

Never thought watching someone clean up and talk would be so entertaining thanks Tony. Merry Christmas.
It is strange how entertaining you are: I just watched a man cleaning his machinery for fifteen minutes!
Thank you for sharing your amazing story. Merry Christmas To You and your family. God bless

Dear Tony, no matter how crappy my day has gone, one or two of your videos puts a smile on my mug! Keep up the good work.
I kept waiting for you to say "so, I tied an onion on my belt"
Dear mr T. O. Tony
