This Old Tony, you are by far my favorite TH-cam channel. I do wish you would post more, but I understand that life and family come first. Just know that anytime you post something, you make a lot of people happy.❤
The best thing about wire brushing with power tools is the tiny pieces of loose wire you will keep finding embedded in every piece of fabric you did or did not own at the time of the job being done. It always reminds you of the good times you and that wire brush had together🙂
@zoltantapai3716 I don't expect you to subscribe to my newsletter lol. I have just found that they few that get would have in my shirt anyhow and my shop gets hot as heck. I can tell you all of my other amazing shop safety advice if you want lol. I will say though ear pro, eye pro, often times i do wear smocks. Just sometimes grind without a shirt on, which sounds hotter than it is :/
@WoodworkingforAnyone As I said you do you. I also have some practices that would probably not be appreciated by people who constantly go on about work safety and I can definetly understand not wanting to wear mutch chlothing and safety equipment in hot weather. I worked with a crew putting up insulation and waterproofing on roofs this summer and our equivalent of the osha guy would probably have had a heart attack if they bothered to show up to the worksite. Not only because people were using angle grinders without proper safety equipment. If you are practiced and know what the limits are you can get away with a lot and it is indeed common practice to do so on many jobsites. For me however, angle grinders with any attachment are something I don't like messing with. It is partly because I'm not that experienced with working with them, partly the many horror stories you hear about them and partly that they are loud and intimidating especially when cutting metal and hot sparks are flying everywhere. I'm getting better with them but I will still put on a hoodie if I use one even in hot weather. If you are comfortable using one without a shirt that is your call. I'm not criticising it but I would not do it after you either.
This Old Tony is now an official Arborist! You should plant the press out back in the Arbor-etum and see if you can grow some mini presses...or maybe breed it with a hydraulic press. That's where pnuematic presses come from. It's the old story of the boards & the beads 😛
I worked in a shop (brand Yellow...) with about 40 other guys...one whom we nicknamed "Launch master.". Every time he'd use the 150-ton hydraulic press for anything, his tooling setup would look like something from a Dr. Guess cartoon, and he refused to use the safety cage...the entire shop would take cover. Same guy who shot a piece of 1-1/8" grade 8 threaded rod THROUGH his tool box. Entertaining.
So with it being my Dads birthday, and I was missing him something awful, I've been watching TOT all morning long. Like for the last 4 hours I've been watching my old favorites. This one pops up, and im scratching my head thinking how on earth did I miss this one? A TOT I've never seen? Wasn't till 3/4 of the way through, I realized it was just released. What a great gift, Tony. Dad was a big fan.
This Old Tony I get worried when you don’t post anything for ages, things go through my mind like may be he has welded him self to a project, may be misses Tony has cheaped out on the oil and you’ve rusted solid, perhaps he’s over modified his machines and they became sentient again but none of them have a finger that can upload a video please don’t scare me like this just post a screenshot once in while let me know your still turning stock into scrap
Hats off to you sir, for regaining the same style and dad humor after several years of sadness (also of pruning tools videos). Glad to see you still have your old sense of humor. Welcome back!
That 1 2 3 block trick with the pencil was worth the price of admission alone. And no, it's not free because if you're not already subscribed to ThisOldTony then you're just like that kid in too many '90s TV shows that sneaks into the movie theaters through the fire escape. And you should feel bad until you subscribe! But for real, thanks so much for another amazing video Tony. You're always an inspiration and few people on this planet have the talent to provide so many helpful tips in such an entertaining way. You're a true creative genius!
My Dad was a lifelong machinist for Curtis Wright. He's since passed, but I wish he was still around to watch your videos and enjoy your sense of humor. I think of him every time I watch your channel. Thank you!
2 month without a video. I WAS WORRIED ;) My wife was so relieved when she saw the notification of your video. Guest she was tired to see me crying in the tub hitting my head waiting for your video to come out. ;) Happy to listen to you again. 😅
Rachet mod made my day. I use mine exclusively for leather work. Rivets, punching slotted holes etc, and due to everything being a different length or thickness, I frequently end up in that dead torque zone. This will fix my issues 100%
The welding wire trick to help get welds square is something i learned from you a few years ago and has made my life way easier many times. Thank you for putting formerly tribal knowledge out for people like me learning things the hard way... But help is always nice when you can get it lol
As a non-welding would-be welder, that trick only works for non to low force welds right? I mean if there is a gap between the subjects, so only the weld is filling the gap that would not be very load bearing compared to subjects being flat and then welded?
No, it's not like hot melt glue, the weld is similarly strong as the bits of metal it's joining. And, they physically become one piece because the two pieces being joined physically melt into the weld and together. I'm sure there are specific combinations where it's notably weaker, cases where it's not permitted and even situations where the base metal is the weakest part of the bond, but generally, in most scenarios, just as strong with a gap or no gap.
I'm wasting at least 6.25 hrs turning the shop arbor press into a ratcheting press on monday. It gets used prob 3 times a year. I'll charge time to the safety team so we're all good. Tony, you are the GOAT!
For tool holding, instead of a set screw, just put an o-ring on the shaft. In my last job we had a tiny arbor press like thing to close watches after swapping the batteries. It used the o-ring method since you had to swap the tools to fit the size of each watch and it was really convenient.
I don't know exactly how to tell you this but..... I've never been more entertained by another man's hands. Except for maby Bob Ross. He is legend as well is TOT!
Dang boy, TH-cam gets awfully boring without some new TOT videos occasionally. Always a treat. Thank you for continuing to take the time to do this. God bless you and the family sir!
You just showed me my next arbor press mod! Mill off two teeth! I already did the hole for tooling. Mine lives on the floor, clamped to table when needed. That ratchet feature is going to get done.
Happy to say that I was able to maintain my composure though most of this video.... but I lost it when you threw the angle drive attachment on the arbor. Comedic gold. We all have our breaking points.
Today was already such a great day, pay day, Friday, steak at work, making brownies at home, had a great ham sub for dinner and now a new TOT video? This day cannot get any better
In the early 80s, I had an arbor press, just like yours, that I bought from McMaster or Grainger. It worked great for punching holes into many thousands of scrap circuit boards. TMI What I really wanted to say was that I love your humor and your videos make me smile. Thank you!
I work on a lot of small pumps and the motors that drive them. I have a 1 ton manual arbor press. The “feel” it communicates is terrific. I need to remove a couple teeth. As soon as you started to mention it I remembered it. I am often at a bad position and probably would have never remembered on my own. Thank you for the prod. Great video, as always!
Watched your video and thought what a great idea! So, I ran to the garage and converted my Dayton #2 arbor press. Works great! The other thing I did was add a clamp to the top of the rack to limit the travel if I need to. It is adjustable up and down the rack and hits the top of the arbor casting as a stop. It also has an Allen head cap screw for fine adjustment. Thanks for the inspiration.
Fewer teeth. Less custard; fewer pies. I hate myself for writing it, but I shan't sleep if I don't. I love you though, Tony! My heart skips a beat when I receive the notification. Superb video, as always.
Once in awhile This Old Tony graces us with the gift of another great video and our meager existence again has meaning. Also engagement equals algorithm points. Excellent production and content as always.
This may sound strange but there is no content or account that brings me joy and smiles like yours. Like someone said here, It is a good day when we get to watch a new video of yours. Thank you.
I used to work at Santa Cruz Mountain Bikes as a frame assembler. Each bench had it's own small arbor press like that with its own tooling for carefully pressing bearings into links and frames. Very handy tool.
Its The same joy as waiting for a long off event knowing you have videos coming at some point, Thanks for the content, I can't tell you how many times in my life a ThisOldTony video made a ruff day so much better, Thanks again
Old Tony!!!! Brother sure wish you would post more!!!! I know most of us would agree. Buttttttt we also understand life and family... We truly appreciate you Tony!!!!!!!
Thanks TOT! I finally decided to try your approach of sacrificing two teeth on my small Dake press! Now it works great! I also added a brass plug ahead of the gib screw on the side of the press, which also works great! Your video gave me the kick in the pants I needed to address the handle positioning issue that has plagued me since I bought the arbor press. Love your videos!
This Old Tony, at the risk of sounding a little silly, I just wanted to let ya know that you and your videos have been with me through a hell of a lot. From when I was first starting out as a technician designing basic parts in CAD for the first time, through covid and a whole bunch of hard life changes, to today as I’m working at a nat’l laboratory doing a whole lot of design work and machining on my own, I always find myself coming back to your channel. Feels like I’m just talkin’ to a buddy of mine that I never actually met. It’s meant a lot to me. Much more than just the information/content alone. Thanks for doing what ya do. Hope you’re doin’ well, take care.
Something’s wrong here. There are over two hundred comments here, and even though the only substance I’ve greased my brain with is ethanol, I’m still the first one to catch that amazingly smooth pun at 16:25-“Is that redundant? I think all molly grease might be high [pressure]”. Well played, sir, well played.
So awesome to see how you mounted (not!) the press to the lovely new stand you built for it. The subtlety of your videos is remarkably subtle. I'm glad I was watchin'!
Genius! I love the broach function. You can also accurately set the "shop head" side of a rivet with repeatability by making 8/10/12, etc marks on the pinion that correspond to the length rivet in use.
I know absolutely nothing about machining or metal work, past welding up cars. But when a Tony video pops up its a must watch, and I think I wouldn't mind having a go.
I am not a machinist by any definition of the word, never used a lathe, or a mill in my life, I only watched people make stuff for me on them. I don't know why I follow This Old Tony, and I have no idea why it fills me with joy to see a new video come up. I should go have my head checked. 😁
I quit watching wintergreen when I realized he was going to finish the mmx somewhere about 3 weeks after he dies and someone else takes over the project.
As always an absolute pleasure to watch , laugh, learn and to dream of having the kind of workshop to let you do all the amazing things we see here. Thanks This Old Tony!
"I could press stuff in at an angle." doubled me over with laughter! SO GREAT. Thank you! Man this video has me thinking about dragging my arbor press out from under the house. Curse you!
Ah the sound effects were over the top! I really enjoyed this one. The tooling and socket is a great idea. Though I am disappointed, I thought for sure you’d throw it on the surface planner to clean up that stock. 😅
I added a rectangular plate on edge with holes drilled for my tooling (mine thread into the ram end so I drilled and tapped the plate) for storage of the tooling to keep it on board of the press to prevent wondering where I put the tooling at a later date. I mounted this plate up towards the curvature of the press frame. I also made the mounting holes of the press and the steel sub base plate underneath into slots so I can just pin the press to my welding table with the extra long ball lock bolts that I also made when I want to use it and quickly take it off so it is out of the way when I need the table clear for a weldment. Keep making videos. They are always something I seem to be able to relate to in your funny informative way.
I LOVE This Old Tony, but I took a totally different approach to my arbor press. I needed the adjustable handle position, but the shaft the gear is on is just held in place with a collar and set screw. I ditched the set screw and put a strong magnet on the outside of the collar. Now a FIRM tug on the handle and shaft and it pulls out and can be slid back in at the desired position. The magnet and collar end up sticking to the frame because of the magnet, and then when I slide the handle and shaft back in, the collar and magnet snap back on. It takes just a couple of seconds to position the handle right where I want. But, I'm glad Tony took his approach so I could enjoy another video!
This skipped Tooth trick is a game changer. I have a similar setup on my Drill Press Stand and run often enough in the same problem. Now I'm considering to remove some teeth to give it the same degree of freedom!
Now I want to buy that thing just to modify it as you did! And I don’t even have room in my workshop for it either. Thanks for your time making this, one of the best TH-cam channels ever.
Before l retired l pepaired and rebuilt spindles. Milling spindles, lathe spindles and drilling spindles. Lots of drilling spindles. One thing l did to make using the arbor press l had in the spindle shop was to draw up a plate in CAD that had a number of different throats sizes to match bearing IDs from 20mm to 50mm. Worked so nice it was constanly migrating out of the shop.
Years ago I did the skip teeth and tooling hole mods in an arbor press that I use for leather embossing tooling. Awesome time savers, and you can set up alignment jig plates for repetitive work. 👍
Do you ever imagine how these videos affect those of us who will never in our lifetimes encounter a situation in which they will be relevant? I ain't never even seed a shop tool in person. Yet, the prowess you exhibit impresses me. Somehow, you are a massively masculine alpha male of shop tool prowess. When I was in middle school, budget problems caused me to be deeply immersed into cake bakin' and dress sewin' against my will, because "shop class" was not available. This did not satisfy my gonads - but it made me aware something was wrong. Your videos return to me a sense of wang identity. Someday I may have a garage full of super tools. I will be able to man-handle wood and metal. It will do my bidding. Thank you. Thank you very much. Seriously.
That ratcheting trick is really good, thanks for sharing. I’m kinda surprised that I’ve never heard or ran across that one before, but just more proof that you can still teach an old dog new tricks. Thanks again and see you soon!
You and AVE are the two channels that I go directly to the source every time I go to TH-cam. Which is every day. That hasn’t shown algorithm to just put you guys on my feed I don’t know what will. Anyways, I’m glad I got to see this video on the day it was uploaded. Thank you.
It's a good day when we get to watch a This Old Tony video
Yeah right! Today we got new videos from ToT, Inheritance Machining AND Electroboom!!
He saw inheritance machining posted and realized he would be replaced
@@gianlucatomasello9492 I run all 3 channels.
@@ThisOldTonyAnd Wintergatan too for sure. I saw that latch mech there
@@ThisOldTonywe all knew that @InheritanceMachining is really TOT I mean have you ever seen Tony's hands in the same place as inheritance machining?
My wife heard the squeal of a young girl and knew immediately that I had woken to a ToT video release. Thank you
Hahaha
This Old Tony, you are by far my favorite TH-cam channel. I do wish you would post more, but I understand that life and family come first. Just know that anytime you post something, you make a lot of people happy.❤
I couldn't agree more! Tony for president!
Yep I agree we need more tool time with Tony!! Fart jokes, squeaky toy sounds, sarcasm, dry humor. And the Easter eggs❤
Everytime he posts something it’s like poison in my veins
Can't rush genius
Quality over quantity
“Oh look, I can now press things in an angle….” That was the best laugh I’ve had in months. Thank you for that.
I have that same press, which also lived on the floor. I only used it a couple of times a year until I got a stand for it. Now I use it twice a year.
I borrow my neighbor's semiannually.
😂👌🏻
Wow, you've virtually QUADRUPLED its use by building a stand! Those of us "extra space handicapped" people are envious
That's a 200% improvement :)
Really, the SAME press?
The best thing about wire brushing with power tools is the tiny pieces of loose wire you will keep finding embedded in every piece of fabric you did or did not own at the time of the job being done. It always reminds you of the good times you and that wire brush had together🙂
'The good times you had together' being the little bits of stainless wire embedded in your forearm.
I wire wheel without a shirt fairly often. It's kind of better in many ways.
@WoodworkingforAnyone That is an option I guess. I'm not sure I would try it due to the tiny wires flying everywhere at high speed but you do you.
@zoltantapai3716 I don't expect you to subscribe to my newsletter lol. I have just found that they few that get would have in my shirt anyhow and my shop gets hot as heck. I can tell you all of my other amazing shop safety advice if you want lol. I will say though ear pro, eye pro, often times i do wear smocks. Just sometimes grind without a shirt on, which sounds hotter than it is :/
@WoodworkingforAnyone As I said you do you. I also have some practices that would probably not be appreciated by people who constantly go on about work safety and I can definetly understand not wanting to wear mutch chlothing and safety equipment in hot weather. I worked with a crew putting up insulation and waterproofing on roofs this summer and our equivalent of the osha guy would probably have had a heart attack if they bothered to show up to the worksite. Not only because people were using angle grinders without proper safety equipment. If you are practiced and know what the limits are you can get away with a lot and it is indeed common practice to do so on many jobsites. For me however, angle grinders with any attachment are something I don't like messing with. It is partly because I'm not that experienced with working with them, partly the many horror stories you hear about them and partly that they are loud and intimidating especially when cutting metal and hot sparks are flying everywhere. I'm getting better with them but I will still put on a hoodie if I use one even in hot weather. If you are comfortable using one without a shirt that is your call. I'm not criticising it but I would not do it after you either.
This Old Tony is now an official Arborist! You should plant the press out back in the Arbor-etum and see if you can grow some mini presses...or maybe breed it with a hydraulic press. That's where pnuematic presses come from. It's the old story of the boards & the beads 😛
It’s been done; they are called cy-press?
I would be impressed to also see some cress. But it requires a lot of spare thyme to do such a project...
Thanks This Oak Tony for the amazing video!
Thanks Dad.
lol "when 2 welds love each other very much..." haha
Oh dear!
I worked in a shop (brand Yellow...) with about 40 other guys...one whom we nicknamed "Launch master.". Every time he'd use the 150-ton hydraulic press for anything, his tooling setup would look like something from a Dr. Guess cartoon, and he refused to use the safety cage...the entire shop would take cover. Same guy who shot a piece of 1-1/8" grade 8 threaded rod THROUGH his tool box. Entertaining.
Entertaining ... only at a safe distance.

It doesn't have any downwards force on it, it's only to keep the press from sliding off of the stand.

That's why my secondhand arbor press doesn't have a setscrew but has the hole in the bottom!
putting an o-ring on the shaft helps keep the shaft rigid and straight - very important as the tool ages.
Recently found this channel and watched every single video then felt empty until today. I love this old Tony

What, never had a bro job?
“Let’s put in some happy little welds…”
A man that has all the talents in the world and uses them for good😁thank you ToT.
Can't wait for PART 2, where you mount the press to that nice yellow stand.
I thought that was going to be the big finale. Obviously he's going to squeeze a whole series out of it. Has he been taken over by Netflix?!
Wait... so it's not going to be a tensegrity press floating between the floor and ceiling?
Has to find the “right” place for it and not be in the way 363/365 days of the year.
You're the best ToT. You always bring a smile to my face and knowledge to my mind. Thanks.
Dang boy, TH-cam gets awfully boring without some new TOT videos occasionally. Always a treat. Thank you for continuing to take the time to do this. God bless you and the family sir!

Feels like I’m just talkin’ to a buddy of mine that I never actually met. It’s meant a lot to me. Much more than just the information/content alone. Thanks for doing what ya do. Hope you’re doin’ well, take care.
Something’s wrong here. There are over two hundred comments here, and even though the only substance I’ve greased my brain with is ethanol, I’m still the first one to catch that amazingly smooth pun at 16:25-“Is that redundant? I think all molly grease might be high [pressure]”.
Well played, sir, well played.
So awesome to see how you mounted (not!) the press to the lovely new stand you built for it.
The subtlety of your videos is remarkably subtle. I'm glad I was watchin'!
Nice. This a reward for a long work week.
Genius! I love the broach function. You can also accurately set the "shop head" side of a rivet with repeatability by making 8/10/12, etc marks on the pinion that correspond to the length rivet in use.
Missed ya buddy!
Whatever the topic, it always ends up as a great moment of entertainment. Many thanks old chap 😎
Only 15 seconds in and I'm already chuckling!
I know absolutely nothing about machining or metal work, past welding up cars. But when a Tony video pops up its a must watch, and I think I wouldn't mind having a go.
Oh my god!!!😱😱😱 this old Tony video! Made my day🎉🎉
I am not a machinist by any definition of the word, never used a lathe, or a mill in my life, I only watched people make stuff for me on them. I don't know why I follow This Old Tony, and I have no idea why it fills me with joy to see a new video come up. I should go have my head checked. 😁
So in about half a decade, Wintergatan will discover a revolutionary usage for arbor presses
(this joke comes from a place of love)
😂👍
Please explain...
@@them0leisback Watch the latest and next to latest Wintergatan 👍
I quit watching wintergreen when I realized he was going to finish the mmx somewhere about 3 weeks after he dies and someone else takes over the project.
As always an absolute pleasure to watch , laugh, learn and to dream of having the kind of workshop to let you do all the amazing things we see here. Thanks This Old Tony!
New Tony video! Perfect Friday!
This old Tonny and a beer is the best weekend program I can think. ❤😂😅
So glad to see a tot video
Cutting 2 teeth !!! ...??? GENIUS
Something so simple yet I'd never thought it . Thank You Tony .
Did you get it from Arbor Freight
👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
i'm no machinist, however your humor and artistry in your craft is always super entertaining! Thank you for making me chuckle on every video!!
"I could press stuff in at an angle." doubled me over with laughter! SO GREAT. Thank you! Man this video has me thinking about dragging my arbor press out from under the house. Curse you!
😅 agreed! Pressing stuff at an angle😅😅😅
Ah the sound effects were over the top! I really enjoyed this one.
The tooling and socket is a great idea.
Though I am disappointed, I thought for sure you’d throw it on the surface planner to clean up that stock. 😅
Hooray a new video 🎉
I added a rectangular plate on edge with holes drilled for my tooling (mine thread into the ram end so I drilled and tapped the plate) for storage of the tooling to keep it on board of the press to prevent wondering where I put the tooling at a later date. I mounted this plate up towards the curvature of the press frame. I also made the mounting holes of the press and the steel sub base plate underneath into slots so I can just pin the press to my welding table with the extra long ball lock bolts that I also made when I want to use it and quickly take it off so it is out of the way when I need the table clear for a weldment. Keep making videos. They are always something I seem to be able to relate to in your funny informative way.
this old tony and inheritance machining videos on the same day!!!!!! im a happy man
I LOVE This Old Tony, but I took a totally different approach to my arbor press. I needed the adjustable handle position, but the shaft the gear is on is just held in place with a collar and set screw. I ditched the set screw and put a strong magnet on the outside of the collar. Now a FIRM tug on the handle and shaft and it pulls out and can be slid back in at the desired position. The magnet and collar end up sticking to the frame because of the magnet, and then when I slide the handle and shaft back in, the collar and magnet snap back on.
It takes just a couple of seconds to position the handle right where I want.
But, I'm glad Tony took his approach so I could enjoy another video!
Isn't arbor day in like April?
This is what I came to the comments for. Yes it’s in April.
Very nice! I built very similar stands for my new workshop recently! Going to get a arbor press too!
I was just sitting down with my pizza, thinking of what to watch, and, BAM! ToT uploaded 14 seconds ago, like a dream, but reality.
Your comedy is unsurpassed! Love the channel. Love your work. Thanks for the 1-2-3 block pencil trick.
This skipped Tooth trick is a game changer. I have a similar setup on my Drill Press Stand and run often enough in the same problem. Now I'm considering to remove some teeth to give it the same degree of freedom!
Now I want to buy that thing just to modify it as you did! And I don’t even have room in my workshop for it either.
Thanks for your time making this, one of the best TH-cam channels ever.
Before l retired l pepaired and rebuilt spindles. Milling spindles, lathe spindles and drilling spindles. Lots of drilling spindles. One thing l did to make using the arbor press l had in the spindle shop was to draw up a plate in CAD that had a number of different throats sizes to match bearing IDs from 20mm to 50mm. Worked so nice it was constanly migrating out of the shop.
Years ago I did the skip teeth and tooling hole mods in an arbor press that I use for leather embossing tooling. Awesome time savers, and you can set up alignment jig plates for repetitive work. 👍
Thanks Tony, you continue to inspire me with the mindset that nothing is impossible! Thanks for listening.
Do you ever imagine how these videos affect those of us who will never in our lifetimes encounter a situation in which they will be relevant? I ain't never even seed a shop tool in person. Yet, the prowess you exhibit impresses me. Somehow, you are a massively masculine alpha male of shop tool prowess. When I was in middle school, budget problems caused me to be deeply immersed into cake bakin' and dress sewin' against my will, because "shop class" was not available. This did not satisfy my gonads - but it made me aware something was wrong. Your videos return to me a sense of wang identity. Someday I may have a garage full of super tools. I will be able to man-handle wood and metal. It will do my bidding. Thank you. Thank you very much. Seriously.
That ratcheting trick is really good, thanks for sharing. I’m kinda surprised that I’ve never heard or ran across that one before, but just more proof that you can still teach an old dog new tricks. Thanks again and see you soon!
Nice nut buster.
I love my old k.r. Wilson 50ton 2 speed hydraulic press with manual arbor function. Fantastic tool.
You and AVE are the two channels that I go directly to the source every time I go to TH-cam. Which is every day. That hasn’t shown algorithm to just put you guys on my feed I don’t know what will. Anyways, I’m glad I got to see this video on the day it was uploaded. Thank you.
Best comedy machinist channel on the planet. Well done sir.
