Hey Mr. Tony, i just want to let you know how much it means to me that you're uploading again relatively regularly. You have a very specific and successful way of touching my heart. Your content has several times become a solid part of my daily life, and when the videos stopped coming, i could only watch the older tig and gear videos so many times haha. Anyway, thanks for getting back into the grove, and know that we want you to upload as long as your having fun doing so. We totally understand downtime, and in a way appreciate the honest consistancy in that respect. When you stop uploading, we know theres an entirely valid reason, even if that reason is "i just dont feel like it"! Hope all is well Tony, thanks again!
He’s the man. I like how he markets (“directs” would be a better word, as he isn’t selling anything) his videos to people who are new to machining. He speaks in terms the common man can understand and that’s one thing I respect about him, plus he’s really entertaining. You’d think his second job was video production and speaking!
Those settings are irresponsibly close in the menu - you could unwittingly select one instead of the other and then suffer the mayhem that ensues trying to work the wrong material...!
Thank you, Tony. I am not a machinist in the slightest but I love watching how you craft, work, and explain your process in a very pleasing and comprehensive style. I greatly appreciate what you're doing and look forward to when I get a notification you've posted a new video.
@@someguy1508 My dad's had one, and for some reason it never crossed my mind to wonder wtf it was for. Well, I think I knew it changed the blade position, but didn't realize that it was for flush cutting, which would have come in handy a time or two.
I just checked out my cheapo home depot hack saw, and while it mounts the blade differently, sure enough it has pins to swap the blade near flush. I just learned something new about a tool I have used for 20 years. Awesome!
Only had 8 minutes and 41 seconds on this video, so I had to watch it three times in a row to get my TOT fix. Thanks for the laughs, I love the layers of humor and education that you provide for your fans!

Tony you did a great job of cleaning up that machine ( no small task) the great thing about the thin blade is you can cut a tight radius or a detailed feature, very hard to do on a band saw as you know Thanks for making this video..
Fun experiment. Was worth a shot. There are much thinner metal cutters to hang in there. It's basically a stationary jig saw now. Just super sturdy. All the tiny blades would fit. Slow, but lots of control with that thing.
Being a person who runs self storage and cuts locks very frequently, it has amazed me thay the secret of the cordless grinder still hasn't gotten out to all thieves. You can get into absolutely anything in 10 seconds or less. People are so oblivious these days it's not like anyone would ever notice the noise. Grinders are pretty scary to the average limp wristed crook I guess.
Once again I made the serious mistake of drinking my morning coffee just as I clicked on a ToT video. But I needed a new keyboard anyways. Please ToT, make a video series on writing, filming, and editing videos! The world needs it!
@3:58, I thought you were going to pick up the file after it fell straight through! I started in-anticipation-chuckling only to be thwarted by a wrench. But the oft never seen tripod legs made an appearance as a bonus. And yes, I still chuckled. :) But I always marvel at the fact that you just make the tools you need, never mind making *things*. You make the actual tools!!! Love your videos.
Tony, Thanks for the tip about the slant of blade and bicycle chains. It's always been an issue. I wish I had seen this a few weeks ago; I was so frustrated, I bought a small oxy/propane set up with a backpack. Works a charm.
At last, an app for my phone to start my lathe - I'm getting tired of pressing buttons etc, with a smartphone app I can start my lathe from the comfort of my living room! Thanks, Tony.
You don't need a surface gauge to gauge anything if you drop your standards, and considering my state this morning after last night, I think that the standards are pretty lowered.
I'm pretty sure, this language is weird enough, to have “Die Filers“, but with a very different meaning🤔 And yes, I'm allowed to say it's weird, since i am one of the idiots speaking it natively
A fun watch, as always. But, if you can pick up an old power hacksaw do so. I overpaid for a worn out Covel (Craftsman later on). After replacing every bushing, milling the guide arm, etc, etc, it worked. And now it works and works and works. I use it all the time. One cut, 20 cuts, unless it's a big piece it's my go to saw. I set it up with a Starrett 12" 5/8" 14T or 18T, flip the switch, go and do something else. It cuts slow and square, no disasters if I'm not hovering around. Now I'm looking for an old Keller.
0:38 Knew it ... TOT stands for This Old TimeLord, with his lathe his Tardis, that has a broken Camellion circuit he 'hasn't gotten around' to fixing yet ...

Hey. This old Tony Just a little thing. I love your content. Not because it's the most educational, informative, entertaining, highest quality, or any particular aspect really. But because you are a person who understands all of them in a way that really values them all. You also get video quality, to a truely ridiculous extent for your category. It's actually in a way that I appreciate, and my appreciation has made it ridiculously hard for me to document my own projects, since I dont have the video skills to document my technical skills. Totally not your fault, I actually appreciate it. I have spent the last two years building up those skills and in the next few months let's see how it goes. Even if I totally fail I appreciate the push. Honesty. The main thing I've gained is making exceptionally things that make me stand out is easy. Documenting those things, permanently, for the public? Thats really hard, and I appreciate youve done it for us so many times. Either way. If you ever have trouble pushing through onto the next video. Understand someone truly loves what you do, and your personality. Any time you have thought you were pushing the boundaries of what you thought you could do, chances are I loved it.

I've never had to do anything with machining, but I am always waiting with excitement to see your next video. The subtle jokes and the edit are the work of a master and I don't think that there are many channels on YT which offer the quality and finesse that yours does. I just want to say Thank You and I hope you will keep posting videos for us many years from now on. Thank you again and I tip my hat to you.
Pretty handy for when you need to cut the interior of a flat part and don't want to cut your bandsaw blade, feed it through the part, and weld it back together.
Now this upgrade I could get away with. "You know you said you wanted the bathroom tiling finished? Well how else do you expect me to do it?" Off to find a filer...
The only time i've found use for one of those saw blades was when i took apart an illegal brick wall on the second floor of a house. The requirements were such that no noise could be made, so we wire sawed each brick out, one by one. In case anyone's wondering, it was built to make a bathroom, yet below it, there was no other wall, thus, the structure of the house began to suffer, having the entire section slowly crack the brick walls apart. Other than that, i've never seen one used with great effect. That being said, using it to cut tile...well, that's interesting, merits further study.
I had to cover my son's eyes when you put up the shot from under the filer's table. A warning might be nice next time. I shudder to think what his search history will look like now
I feel like Tony may be procrastinating a tiling job.
Need a tool, make a tool
To go with the repaired sink perhaps
Now he just needs to make a vacuum table for his surface grinder so that he can make the tiles true.

@@ericpaul4575 learnt time travel from this channel. My lathe isn't as great as Tony's, but I can still go back a couple of minutes in time...
I've never had to do anything with machining, but I am always waiting with excitement to see your next video. The subtle jokes and the edit are the work of a master and I don't think that there are many channels on YT which offer the quality and finesse that yours does. I just want to say Thank You and I hope you will keep posting videos for us many years from now on. Thank you again and I tip my hat to you.
Like your bandsaw, just worse ;)
Next week's TOT episode will converting the Bandsaw into a BandFiler.
Pretty handy for when you need to cut the interior of a flat part and don't want to cut your bandsaw blade, feed it through the part, and weld it back together.
It will slowly cut off your fingers and hurt the whole time.
@@dcurry7287 1 you can use a jigsaw with a metal cutting blade, or better yet, an endmill in a milling machine.
Power hacksaw, nice! I'm hoping to see the hand crank band saw conversion soon.
Now this upgrade I could get away with. "You know you said you wanted the bathroom tiling finished? Well how else do you expect me to do it?" Off to find a filer...
Tony, you crack me up. Thanks for sharing your time with us all to make another fun, and in this case only slightly informative, video.
6:20 he's gone full Gotteswinter. Never go full Gotteswinter.
I have to say the production quality of these vids is outstanding
How's the CNC mill MAHO conversion going?
Yes.
Yes, I was looking for this coment!
One does not fiddle with another mans MAHO.
@@bjorn301 True dat.
The only time i've found use for one of those saw blades was when i took apart an illegal brick wall on the second floor of a house. The requirements were such that no noise could be made, so we wire sawed each brick out, one by one.
In case anyone's wondering, it was built to make a bathroom, yet below it, there was no other wall, thus, the structure of the house began to suffer, having the entire section slowly crack the brick walls apart.
Other than that, i've never seen one used with great effect. That being said, using it to cut tile...well, that's interesting, merits further study.
I had to cover my son's eyes when you put up the shot from under the filer's table. A warning might be nice next time. I shudder to think what his search history will look like now
Two Sundays in a row. TOT has made this the best 8 days ever
0:21 Aluminum .. Aluminium - important distinction 😂
Yeah, I liked that bit. :)
Your Tom and Jerry cartoon reference made my day. Thank you for sharing all your fun projects. I always learn and laugh.
Eric Roberson Uncle Pecos!!
@8:30 Hawking reincarnatied as power hacksaw !? 😲😮
