We are truly living in a modern era. Additive machining has gotten to the point where even hobbyists like ToT can convert some metal chips (and, of course, the tool matching up with the current form of the part) into a beautifully square stock part once again. A true modern marvel.

[@Reman1975]

I'm not sure about your new wrench, It looks a bit too hefty to me. We all know that the correct procedure immediately after snapping a tap off in a hole is to launch the tap wrench (Compleat with the stub of snapped tap) as hard as you can across the workshop while screaming "Demonetizing words" as loud as you can. This new wrench looks stout enough that a ricochet could do you some serious damage ! Just looking out for you buddy. :)

Oh, just don't make him do his intro with a pasta, similar to a Cody ;) As always, loved that clip. I really like the way you show that engineering thinking process. Something that is missing in a lot of modern projects. My dad (old school engineer) was always telling me a quote from his teacher: "Before you put something together, think on how you take it apart". God i wish more engineers would make their "creations" according to this rule... Fixing modern machines would be way easier... Recently had to exchange a drive wheel of a 40m crane. Bearing just fell apart... guess what, there was no greasing point on the bearing! Damn wheel with a shaft weighted around 150kg... and had 700kg drive fixed on it... And everything would be just fine if some damn modern engineer had a revelation that bearings need to be lubricated to work properly...

There’s something so satisfying about homemade tools that look this beautiful. An entire series on making various homemade tools could be really neat. Especially one where the tools are planned out so that each is made so a more intricate tool could be made, so by the end of the series you’ve got several homemade tools that are necessary for making something pretty intricate/ complex. I guess clickspring has kind of done this with his videos. But a series where the tools are less pieces of art and more practical machinery tools that have that great heft and weight to them... I’d watch that allllll day long.

[@Postal0311]

I'm glad to see that someone else doesn't like radius cutters. When I don't mess up the setup with one, I tend to end up with a bad finish. When I do set it up wrong, I get a great finish and a scrapped part. It feels like black magic to me to get the results I want.

Can you make an extra one for Martin over at wintergarden wednesdays? He needs to stop putting taps in the drill. At the rate he's going his marble machine will contain 50% tap by the time it's finished.

Wintergatan needs a fixture to keep the tap colinear with the drilled hole. I'm afraid a tap wrench would not help Martin enough though the feel in the hand of the cutting process would definitely be a huge step forward.

[@kyleballing]

Yes, oh yes. Martin needs a tap wrench so badly. I need a soundproof room and a burlap cat to kick whenever I watch him tap a hole. You can also tweak a C clamp with a flat on one side and a center on the other to keep your tap nice and straight. Most taps that I'm familiar with have a center feature in the back.

For me, an interesting element of this 'simple' project was seeing just how complex and versatile the lathe is...especially when supported by a diverse set of cutting tools. With enough knowledge and a complete setup it looks like you could make just about anything (this theory being supported by your previous projects). Keep up the good work.

[@lemagreengreen]

I think you're right about that being a home-made/apprentice project. I have vague memories of it being a project at a technical college I once went to, the sort of thing they progressed you to after you proved yourself able of making such complex items as a drill drift.

Sweet, nicely built. That design was a Pratt & Whitney catalog item in the 1880's, I have a couple about that age I still use.

I reckon it's been a popular student project since the patent expired, like 100 years ago.

You know I come for the material, but I LOVE your sense of humor and delivery. I am so glad you make these videos, and make them fun too!

Went ahead and liked the video. Didn't even watch it yet.

The lathe cutting reversing halfway is REALLY throwing me off, I'm five mins in and I've already got a headache, what have you done to me TOT?!

[@cmotdibbler4454]

Colchester lathes have an add back material feature, it is part of the time travel circuit... providing the original owner didn't cheap out on the options list.

It's nice to see you having troubles like slipping parts while milling. I had thought those sorts of things only happened to me, but you're a "pro" and they get you in some of these videos as well. That makes me smile.

Darn, those subtle subscribe messages seem to have worked on me

Trust ToT to make a 20 minute video then throw in a "make sure to turn it the right way so you don't get a left handed thread" just to make sure we're still paying attention. This is a man who's worked with juveniles before.

Hey Tony, you do a great job, it's a pleasure to watch you work, and the little bit of humour adds that special touch, wish I had a tap to fabricate a wrench for.

Hey Sir, one day when you are thinking about a new show would you consider going over a very simple manual and explaining the various machinist symbols and industry specific glyphs that... at least this poor mortal cannot make sense of. Thank you for a great show. Faithful consumer, Jonsey

Wow Man, I did not realize that you had provided that link. Just when I thought that I had this dialog thing figured out. Thanks a million and sorry for my stupid delay in finding your spot on information. Live and learn.

When you find a new channel, then you go back a few years to see if the content will be just as good, and stumble upon hours of binge worthy laughs. You made my day

Oh dear, I don't know if you have ever seen the carved wooden elephants that are available in tourist traps which some people collect and arrange in descending size on their shelves? Now I have the desire to make a set of tap wrenches in descending size from gigantic to cute. Thank you TOT though my husband may curse when I displace his elephants :-) Regards Sarah
