This is an outstanding instructional video. One of the best If seen on the internet. at 14:40 when you faced the tool to the camera as the work see's it. That was brilliant. I wish my instructors would have had a video like this. Thank you for such a great video

When did you move the shop to the water tower brother?

B.A. or B.A.S is old British standard there is a KZbinr and hobby Machinist named keithappleton that makes and rebuilds scale steam engines and power plants and that's all they use Merry Christmas

The 2BA joke made my bidet

BA is (nowadays) a model engineers thread typically teeny weeny ones.

I’m sorry to hear about your BlackBerry’s spacebar

I LOVE YOUR "BACK SEAT" HUMOR 😅❤

good stuff and very educational

1:00 OMG, I just got the expanse reference. NICE!

Brass machines SOOOO beautifully. ;-)

Add a second worm shaft with a center reversing gear between the the two on either side, shimming the second to trail just right. Not to drive but to reverse with zero backlash bi-directionally 🤔

Nice idea! And we all know its not about the end result, but how many friends we hit with our darts along the way! <_<

Universties should teach This, so fucking cool

Oh Tony, how can you say we don't get a present, every video of yours is a present :D

Hey Tony, as an Englishman myself, it would be remiss of me not to mention that there are such things as 'dart sharpeners' out there. All of which are typically next to useless I might add. See where I'm leaning with this one??!

Third time I have watched this video since it came out and I get more out of it every time. Just seems to sink in a stay better. That's just how it is when you are old and dumb. Thanks Tony for all the great content over the years...

To be fair (I'm a dart-thrower), the darts look great, Tony! BUT - points are pressed-in. The shafts are usually machined aluminum and the FLIGHTs (as you say "fins") are usually are either polymer or sometimes corrugated aluminum. Those are cheap to make / replace and are relatively safe. 😂 Athough I throw tungsten barrels, and reserve the brass barrels for my "house" darts... I'd be more than happy to throw a match with the ones you made!❤

I see the problem! The scale on the part is because your oven was only half full of argon. The argon meter showed it was only half full 5/10. There's your problem! :)🤣

On target!

Fun fact - BA is British Association, and comes from the days of steam engines aka the 1800's. And for some stereotypical British reason, they also show up in my 1973 landrover's steering relay, because... England !?

As far as darts go I can tell you a related story in the 1990s some nail guns had chains that were sticky! meaning you could fit other things that would fit after the nais had fired and shoot them out I chose 1920s HMV loud tone gramophone (phonograph if you are in the US) steel needles A they are mildly bullet shaped and B they would fit like a glove!!!! They also resemble a dart point but shorter and the gun was powerful enough to embed them in solid concrete entirely!!

Its the first time thanks to this Secret Santa collab vid that I have seen ''This Old Tony'' old is right! Tony is a hand show video KZbinr and the first one who started that was Stuart Ashen better known on the tubes as Ashens KZbin was still trying to learn to walk in 2006 only months after its creation when Ashens came on the scene reviewing old tat and rubbish tech with a dumb but still funny sketch here and there but for the reviews, you would only see his hands with his mucky old couch in the background PS, Ashens is still around and as funny as day 1. From that time on, hands speaking on screen became a hit, and a huge number of folks on KZbin still use this method of videography.

Use left hand threads on the puzzle to hold it together that will make it more fun!!!!

Merry Christmas ToT, thanks for all your gifts to all of us

Lets get down to brass taps

16:32 yeah, that holiday that is on the same day every year sneaks up on people...

The brass chip snow has me rolling on the floor Tony 😂

she dosent play xlya fone ?

Because there is 14.7psi also pushing against the top end of the piston rod (outside the cylinder) 😊

So you are making Brass Taps with a point and didn't make a joke about Brass Tacks?

Hey Tony, merry Christmas from Australia. Hope you can enjoy some quality time with your dysfunctional relatives😅 We all can relate..

Great choice on design, all cutting tools will hit the floor pointy bit first. 2BA, what lovely history.Merry christmas.

2BA. British Association. You're welcome Tony lad...🤔😀🇬🇧

Some weird bug on desktop pc. Audio track defaults to German. Every attempt to change to English, results in something else (French, Portuguese, and others) but never English. Selecting any other track never results in English either. Bug is with this video only. Other videos play normally. On mobile, it defaults to English

Thanks. You solved one of life's greats misteries of many people. Congratulations.(P.S. and another thanks to that explanation about two floors pathway... A Lot of time saved.)

Great work Sir! 🙂😎❤

I am planning on doing some research on tool making, lathe work and so on and so forth. KZbin recommended this and I am so grateful! Thank you, very helpful!!!

Outstanding - thanks for the entertaining and VERY educational video!

around 30-35 years ago...early 90s, somewhere round there. We used to do some silly stuff as kids. We had some cheap dollar store darts. We were seeing how high up the wooden power pole we could get one stuck. I threw one up and it went past the top, came straight back down and landed ON the top. I never saw it again.

6ft of snow in Vegas 😂

aww Tony, every time you post a video it's like opening a christmas present.

Tony sure does have a lot a dandruff this video! Love it as always, by far my favourite KZbin channel. Thank you and Merry Christmas and a happiest of new years ❤️

The black tail, should be dubb'd "The Ex-wife"

Drunk on Xmas eve, gotta say, love you Tony.

@18:07 Joke all you want, but your Google Plus profile picture will always remember your face. Google never forgets.

My son gets so excited when he sees that This Old Tony has uploaded another video. I am surprised I haven't had hearing loss from his loud joy. 😏

Great video! 👍 Is this a lathe you will recommend for hobby use? I consider getting a lathe like this one is my shop to use for smaller projects.

"I am a knuckle head." Nope. A knuckle pair of hands at best. And that sounds perfectly reasonable. A knuckleless hand would be more concerning. Wonderful holidays to you!

I watch this with the fam every xmas eve 😁

I don't have a lot of space in my garage, so a mini lathe is something I am planning on getting. I just don't know if it will be effective in working on big metal chunks or rifle barrels.
