@Andreas Lied I would think that some angle brackets would be the easiest, that way you don't have to drill any precise holes in your baseplate and you wouldn't necessarily need access to the underside, or you can just attach it to a counter top. Bolt the angle brackets to the sideplates, then mark from the top and either drill and bolt or just shoot some screws through. Maybe use wing bolts or thumbscrews so you can easily move the machine for cleaning or needed space. A few short sections of angle aluminum would do the trick.
My husband got me interested in these videos, but I couldn't remember the name of the channel for the longest time so I called it "Dad Jokes Machine Shop." It is now the official moniker in our house.
Two month after seeing your first video i bought myself a lathe another 2 month later a mill... Now i have seen all your vids and have a room full of metal equipment i didn't know that it is existing before your vids 😎 i just want to thank you for the good times your work brought to guys like me i discovered a new hobby because of you... Thanx
I love your videos, the comedy is a fresh mix of dad jokes and exaggerations that fits so well with your own particular way of speaking and acting while still being on topic and informative!
Are you looking to be entertained or "educated"? And do you have examples of the "dad jokes" and "exaggerations"? Its kind of hard to make a "how-to" video and not be "on topic", is it not? And "informative" and "educational" are two very different things. Just like "information" and "knowledge" and "intelligence" and "wisdom" and "expert" and "professional".
When I saw the "shop tawk" slider increasing, I was happy. When the "antics" slider decreasing, not so much. Tony, we can watch "normal" videos, all over the Tube. Don't be stingy with the antics. steve
The subtlety of and the tongue-in-cheek nature of the humor is fabulous!! The Sharpie cap color changes and, frankly, the rest are what make these videos really clever. Humor aside, This Old Tony really does know his stuff...sort of, usually. Keep up the great work (?) and don’t change a thing about how you produce them. Thanks TOT 😁🤦🏼♂️
Inkscape works in svg natively. It can play with most common vector formats and even oddball languages like hpgl2. It is free as in beer and freedom, so it has that going for that too. SVG is basically just a text file with a bunch of line segment instructions, it’s super neat. It means in theory, you can open notepad and just type your drawing out.
Hi Tony, well, after waiting a month for the postal service to get the machine back to Alex, I was happy. Watching Alex use it, even happier, and now your follow up, I'm really happy. Great build, explanation, and now I'm a subscriber to Alex's' channel, big thanks for that tip!!!
Imagine my surprise, I just found a Covel surface grinder that looks just like yours for sale near me. I came here to check out your old rebuild videos a bit to see how bad a buy it is at $200. Only to see you uploaded a new video, well, down the rabbit hole I go.
TOT:. Yours is my favorite TH-cam channel! I'm just a wannabe machinist (for building model steam engine parts and other non-essential activities), and learning lots from your videos! Learning new stuff is already joyous, but learning with clever humor is the BEST!!!! Thx x 1k!!!!
This easy Name - This Old Tony - with that easy Face n with so simple glasses and with Beautiful Voice confidence has a great Harmoni wich I never can get anywhere except here of - This Old Tony - I recognize that You are a great Director of the best sort, in Technics n even in movie n animation, I never meet someone like you, I'm Sooo happy only listen to your voice, you are a great human. I do love all your job you do. Thank you Mr 🙏 - This Old Tony - 🙌 Thank you
What did I just watch? How far have I slipped? I used to model 3-D rotor heads for helicopters in the 90's in ProE. I didn't recognize any of the software in this video nor would I have any idea how to feed a 3-D CAD file to a CNC machine or to then calibrate the work piece to the machine. I wouldn't even know the difference between a CNC router and a CNC milling machine. I still lust after old Bridgeport machines with knobs and cranks. This Old Tony's hands don't look old enough to be retired so I have to assume he has a day job, plays in the garage nights and weekends and doubles his work by videoing it all. Then edits and uploads and maintains this channel ! This dude is a hero.
You probably haven't slipped at all. I don't know about Fusion 360 vs. ProE, but all of the printed circuit board tools seem to be work-alike copies of the big, expensive packages from the 1990s, so you could probably jump right into today's CAD tools.
Anytime I see that TOT has put out a new video I dance for joy, well I let out a yell, well maybe only a big smile, err make that a chuckle. Then I watch the thing and find myself laughing a lot. Tony you are one talented individual.
Wow...That sketch of "Alex"... Now I knew You were "multitalented" but this just isn't fair..... Now I'm depressed ... But thanks for the video anyway ;)
I just want to tell you, and Alex, how much I have enjoyed these videos. I have been subscribed to both channels for a long time. To see a pair of my favorite channels collaborating validates my good taste in TH-cam consumption; you both rock. Thank you both for the entertainment and enlightenment.
I have been enjoying your videos for a while now. Your pithy humor is incredable, which is only surpassed by your technical knowledge and mechanical ability. I really enjoyed this collaboration with Alex. He is fortunate that you re-engineered his pasta mechine. I was really surprised when I saw the shoutout from Wintergatan and his mention of your soultion for the muting mechanism for the Marble Machine X. The Bistable Mechanism you suggested is genious. I follow Wantergatan, so it was really enjoyable for me to see that you do as well, and to see your contribution to his MMX. I found your site when I searched for help with TIG. I love your welder, but alas, I will have to settle for a less expensive machine. Good luck and I look forward to your future videos. Tim
LOL OMG LOL, dude your sarcasm is refreshing to say the least... Your timing is impeccable. Just when I start to nod off from boredom you toss in a zinger that wakes me right up laughing my buttock off... I really enjoy your videos, thank you for all your hard work. Cheers...
I come back to your videos every now and then and I still get new advice and inspiration from you. I learned that sketchbook is still free and so I immediately downloaded it. The mini tutorial on engraving is great and this channel continues to inspire me and make me wish I owned a mill
another entertaining and educational video--keep them coming. i ESPECIALLY like that you took the time to explain your software suite. i really like knowing what people successfully use to accomplish their projects. Learning something that may be 'freeware', but doesn't actually play with other software or devices is useless, and when someone makes it all come together i know what path i need to take.
Hi there! I discovered your videos through Wintergatan’s video on bistable mechanisms. As a mech. engineer, it’s refreshing to see your detailed videos, but your sense of humor is what’s keeping me subscribed, keep up the good work :)
Several have mentioned Inkscape... I'm with them. It's a great piece of free software. I've used it to make some pretty cool things on my router. It's the best I've used for tracing rasters, importing PDFs... All kinds of fun stuff. It's native is svg and, best of all, it can export the files straight to dxf. I normally go from Inkscape to Draftsight (also free) to clean and scale then to CAM. Sometimes I copy from Draftsight and paste directly into a SolidWorks sketch. I love the videos Tony. Keep up the good work. My 3 yr old is on me to make him a sword and a rubber band rifle. I will one day.
I love your videos Tony. For the record you could have used Acetyl plastic for many parts. White acetyl is available as food grade and it accepts CNC machining very well. Need a fairly high cutting speed and multi-flute cutters work best. I think in the USA you would by it under the brand name Delrin. HTH.
3 seconds into the vid, i see the "directors cut noodles" line in the description and i click "like". fuck me, but I love you dude, AvE is the progenitor of my love for thee so thank him for granting thee yet another truly devoted fan!
Since I haven't seen anyone make this comment yet, I love the random change of the marker while he was talking. Always the small stuff that probably gets overlooked that is actually hilarious once you see it.
Both of you should join the rest of us in the 21st century where "monitors" are already "cinematic" and "black bars" are nightclubs for "African" people.
Realy cool project and colab. With all the work you put into that pasta machine you were only 4 gears and 2 rollers short of building one from scratch.
He started with a complete machine and then replaced everything but what makes it actually work coming in contact with the pasta. "Government work" doesn't even begin to cover his "projects".
Inkscape is an open source vector image editing software that saves in svg. It can also save as a dxf, which a lot of other machines can interpret as G-code for ingraving.
And LibreCAD can open and manipulate the dxf to touch up any conversion artifacts. Though I haven't actually done this series of steps so I don't know how clean the result usuall y comes out. (eg does a visually straight line really come through as a single line segment or a whole pile of short pieces?)
Hi-lariously informative. And alex french dude cooking is such a splendid channel. I make virtually nothing but mac&cheese with some sort of protein additive but I still binged a ton of videos and subbed after seeing this rebuildening
"I can spot a two-thou variation in a chamfer, drunk, at night, from across a crowded room." - This Old Tony - 2018 Tony, I'm gonna remember this line. You're amazing. I'm ROFLing. If I were you, I would want this on my tombstone.
Great video, as always. For V-carving it's hard to beat V-Carve Pro. It generates 3D toolpaths for v-carving that are superb. It is not cheap, but if you are a member of a makerspace they do a great job of supporting makerspaces. The makerspace pays $100 per year for a master license that allow 5 installations. All the members can download the trail version, then install a secret code generated by the master. The member's copy will do everything a full install will do except actually generate DXF's or G-Code. The member brings his v-carve file to the makerspace and the master copies generate the G-Code. We use it for our CNC routers and also the DXF files for the laser cutters. Since the program is optimized for cutting operations, it is excellent to use with the lasers.
Good to know! I tried a demo license once (I'm pretty sure it was V-Carve, but there were a couple of "carving" ones around at the time) -- was really nice.. and yes I remember the price tag!
SVGs are perfect for engraving, the whole point of them is scalability, you can scale to very fine or very large areas with absolutely no loss of resolution.
Tony, SVG is the most widespread and universal vector format out there. Used practically everywhere these days, on the web, on desktop, on mobile, to do everything from complex graphics down to the simplest icons. In some respects, it's similar to the G-code, but of course much simpler without the need for tooling and manufacturing details. Still, it's a very straightforward code, with surprisingly few commands that describe the lines, curves or simple moves, with the co-ordinates attached, that make up a drawing.
Never be ashamed of your age tony. Not only does it give you experience points for time you had learning more than others but older things have better quality and are gaining value by the day. I had a bear from 2005 and was a risk but was better than a new one i opened last week. LOL
The computer program that draws, handles, and gave birth to SVG's is Inkscape, and it is, and has allways been free (and open source). I actually used for all the figures of my Phd thesis. ¡Viva el software libre Este Viejo Tony!
sadly i am not a native speaker, but this dad joke filled channel is pure comedy gold 😊 i have no lathe and i am never going to buy one, but for reasons this is super interesting stuff to watch
Nice movie, the fusion360 and .svg part will come in handy. Just found the same “original” pastamachine at a yardsale, i think i’m going to rebuild this one so it will suit my culinary needs! Thank you for the inspiration and laughs!
Inkscape my friend; you can create vector images directly with native format being SVG (though I'd suggest exporting to Plain SVG for your engraving software)
I think I see what you did here +This Old Tony, you introduced us to another fantastic channel while you're off on a spirit quest high in the mountains (and probably on peyote) finding the next big project. You've simultaneously helped Alex and created the perfect diversion. All of this is to say, I'm officially caught up on Alex's channel and rewatching older videos of yours at this point. Which led to the conspiracy theory that the ring roller was made not on a whim but in preparation of some great and thunderous battle sphere project. So, ya' know, if you're ever out there taking over the world, just remember that Detroit has way too many Bridgeports per capita to just be rolled over without a sparing thought.
Hi Tony, I love your contribution to Alex. One channel I use to visit. I also have watched some of yours other videos before. But now, now I have a strong suggestion to you: Please make a video of your collaboration to Marble Machine X ! This is so great. There is a new superstar born. Wintergatan. Thank you. I can hear it coming ........
I know absolutely nothing about machining. My most powerful tool is a Dremel. But your videos inspire me. If I ever get a garage, I know what's next on the list. If only just for making all those stupid adapters and threaded nuts and bolts for my astronomy equipment ...
This video just saved me hours of time messing around with Mesh Mixer trying to engrave parts. I can not thank you enough for that small amount of info about svg projections that Fusion 360 does. too bad fusion isn't going to be perfectly free for very long.
Even being a machine-fu black belt, scrapio high wizard, and a dog whisperer, I still cant figure out how the old mysic color changing sharpie trick is done. bravo!
your cnc router build video series was really inspirational, luckily my tendency to procrastinate and utter lack of skill prevented any foolish ttempts to build my own :D
Solidworks does have its own Cam as a ~2 gig program and when installed the backend said HSM so I suspect they just integrated it if you pay for that license (it ain't free for the Cam).
If you're interested: SolidWorks bought one of their former Gold integration partners, CAMWorks, and integrated their CAM software directly into SolidWorks (rather than continuing to use a product made by their direct competitor, AutoDesk.) SolidWorks CAM does indeed come with your purchase of SW2018, but if you want to use it past the first year, you need to maintain your subscription of SolidWorks (~$1300/year for 'subscription services.) Also, the basic version of SolidWorks CAM that ships with SolidWorks does not offer any sort of adaptive/trochoidal/dynamic/volumill toolpaths for milling, and does not allow you to do CAM on assemblies (i.e. no parts in a vice or fixture.) You're honestly probably better off with HSMXpress or Fusion than SW CAM, unless you're going to spring for the 'Pro' version.
I drew a big smile on that CNC-mini-me.
ask him about the cutter placement and the lock for it
Hello Alex & Tony ! Where or how can we buy this machine ? Your upgrade version of the chinese one is a must to have for pasta lovers !!!
@Andreas Lied I would think that some angle brackets would be the easiest, that way you don't have to drill any precise holes in your baseplate and you wouldn't necessarily need access to the underside, or you can just attach it to a counter top.

What make and model is this pasta machine. I want one
My husband got me interested in these videos, but I couldn't remember the name of the channel for the longest time so I called it "Dad Jokes Machine Shop."
It is now the official moniker in our house.
If I ever open a shop, I'm stealing that.
@@ThisOldTony the hell you mean “if”.
An Insane Blacksmith, yellow glowing steel and a big rasp can remove more steel faster than any cutting machine. 🤪⚒️

What machines did you choose? Once you separated the humor from the facts. Er, opinions. :-)
I love your videos, the comedy is a fresh mix of dad jokes and exaggerations that fits so well with your own particular way of speaking and acting while still being on topic and informative!
Sometimes... go watch his multimeter video... that one is significantly less informative
+bur1t0 How informative that video is depends on how much you already knew/know about multi-meters before hand

+DEEREMEYER1 You seriously need to get laid, my friend.
@floorpizza with that guys attitude that seems like an impossible task :)
there was some static in the holo-board image, either you need to replace some Spatial capacitors or use a power conditioner.
Tony, I'm amazed at the work you put into these videos, not to mention the humor. I would almost be willing to pay to watch these ... almost.
When I saw the "shop tawk" slider increasing,
I was happy. When the "antics" slider decreasing,
not so much.
Tony, we can watch "normal" videos, all over the
Tube. Don't be stingy with the antics.

Actually, the gangster tear is there for the pasta machines he has already lost.
A gangster tear is a sign that you killed someone, he murdered those pasta machines.

Just a friendly advice: don't leave ANYTHING on your Holo-Board while you turn it off... guess what happened to my socks.

I left the remote on it......now I can't turn it on anymore. 😭 Somebody wanna buy a board? 😬
I keep mine on the floor and stand on it. I still am, but everything is dark....hey, I can see your remote Guust..are you missing a finger?
Where does it all end up? Did this Alex character get a new pair of slightly used socks?
Knightrem 10; This Old Tony crocheted some for him - on the CNC ofcourse.

Inkscape works in svg natively. It can play with most common vector formats and even oddball languages like hpgl2.
It is free as in beer and freedom, so it has that going for that too.
SVG is basically just a text file with a bunch of line segment instructions, it’s super neat.
It means in theory, you can open notepad and just type your drawing out.

Used practically everywhere these days, on the web, on desktop, on mobile, to do everything from complex graphics down to the simplest icons. In some respects, it's similar to the G-code, but of course much simpler without the need for tooling and manufacturing details. Still, it's a very straightforward code, with surprisingly few commands that describe the lines, curves or simple moves, with the co-ordinates attached, that make up a drawing.
You know, much of what you say I don't have any idea what it means...(LOL) BUT I do so love watching you bevel your way to heaven!
Never be ashamed of your age tony. Not only does it give you experience points for time you had learning more than others but older things have better quality and are gaining value by the day. I had a bear from 2005 and was a risk but was better than a new one i opened last week. LOL
I absolutely adore your videos, everything about them, especially your jokes
The computer program that draws, handles, and gave birth to SVG's is Inkscape, and it is, and has allways been free (and open source). I actually used for all the figures of my Phd thesis. ¡Viva el software libre Este Viejo Tony!
I will never get tired of your videos
sadly i am not a native speaker, but this dad joke filled channel is pure comedy gold 😊 i have no lathe and i am never going to buy one, but for reasons this is super interesting stuff to watch
3rd time watching, only just noticing the blue black sharpie swapping. Its the little details that make your videos great!
I watched Alex’s video’s, man, that dude loves his pasta! I guess life is good when you know what you like and what you want.
Dear This Old Tony, you are an inspiration
I just discovered TOT and FGC the week before the first pasta machine video. It was super cool to watch this collab.
Nice movie, the fusion360 and .svg part will come in handy.
Just found the same “original” pastamachine at a yardsale, i think i’m going to rebuild this one so it will suit my culinary needs!
Thank you for the inspiration and laughs!
Inkscape my friend; you can create vector images directly with native format being SVG (though I'd suggest exporting to Plain SVG for your engraving software)
I think I see what you did here +This Old Tony, you introduced us to another fantastic channel while you're off on a spirit quest high in the mountains (and probably on peyote) finding the next big project. You've simultaneously helped Alex and created the perfect diversion. All of this is to say, I'm officially caught up on Alex's channel and rewatching older videos of yours at this point. Which led to the conspiracy theory that the ring roller was made not on a whim but in preparation of some great and thunderous battle sphere project. So, ya' know, if you're ever out there taking over the world, just remember that Detroit has way too many Bridgeports per capita to just be rolled over without a sparing thought.
Your work, video content and editing are super!
Hi Tony, I love your contribution to Alex. One channel I use to visit. I also have watched some of yours other videos before. But now, now I have a strong suggestion to you: Please make a video of your collaboration to Marble Machine X ! This is so great. There is a new superstar born. Wintergatan. Thank you. I can hear it coming ........
Loved the pasta machine in the closing shot....😎👍
Thanks TOT...You are ever entertaining.
I know absolutely nothing about machining. My most powerful tool is a Dremel. But your videos inspire me. If I ever get a garage, I know what's next on the list. If only just for making all those stupid adapters and threaded nuts and bolts for my astronomy equipment ...
That is more of an excuse for getting into machining than I had!
If you're single, the dining room is a great place for a lathe.
Or if you want to be single...
This video just saved me hours of time messing around with Mesh Mixer trying to engrave parts. I can not thank you enough for that small amount of info about svg projections that Fusion 360 does. too bad fusion isn't going to be perfectly free for very long.
WTF the pen cap xD. I almoust spit my coffee all over the desk as I saw your magic PEN CAP CHANGING COLORS WOOOOOOHOOO
Even being a machine-fu black belt, scrapio high wizard, and a dog whisperer, I still cant figure out how the old mysic color changing sharpie trick is done. bravo!
nothing wrong with a holo-board! when you're working in a home shop getting previous gen gear is a great way to get started on a budget.
your cnc router build video series was really inspirational, luckily my tendency to procrastinate and utter lack of skill prevented any foolish ttempts to build my own :D
The spindexer... i have no idea why, but i get excited every time i see one...
Solidworks does have its own Cam as a ~2 gig program and when installed the backend said HSM so I suspect they just integrated it if you pay for that license (it ain't free for the Cam).
interesting, I'll have to look into that.
Make: This Old Tony.
Model: Pasta Machine TOT-0001. :-P
Wouldn't sell in germany.
TOT = Dead
xD
I didn't know Tony could draw, now I feel even more inadequate. Thanks! 🙃
ToT it is good to see you back, I was starting to worry.
If you're interested: SolidWorks bought one of their former Gold integration partners, CAMWorks, and integrated their CAM software directly into SolidWorks (rather than continuing to use a product made by their direct competitor, AutoDesk.) SolidWorks CAM does indeed come with your purchase of SW2018, but if you want to use it past the first year, you need to maintain your subscription of SolidWorks (~$1300/year for 'subscription services.) Also, the basic version of SolidWorks CAM that ships with SolidWorks does not offer any sort of adaptive/trochoidal/dynamic/volumill toolpaths for milling, and does not allow you to do CAM on assemblies (i.e. no parts in a vice or fixture.) You're honestly probably better off with HSMXpress or Fusion than SW CAM, unless you're going to spring for the 'Pro' version.
