can you do a series on lathe operating. I would love to learn even the basics, you could call it:"getting Lathed".

[@f.t.w8645]

That's a perfect idea!! And also hilarious.😂

James May has done a Meccano one for Spark. Look it up. (He's also done a full-size replica Supermarine Spitfire and a plasticine flower garden for the Royal Chelsea Flower Show. Almost as talented as TOT)

[@Underground308]

Damnit! Came down here to comment the same thing. You beat me to it. :D

[@mhc6777]

TOT has made a drawbridge - and lifted it. We're all trapped in his garage.

[@darkshadowsx5949]

@@zygmuntthecacaokakistocrat6589 James may had students build the bridge and spitfire replica for him. he cant take full credit. as far as i know he just had the idea and put the plan into action but made everyone else do the work. I still enjoy watching James May but he isn't a TOT competitor.

[@adamflight1]

Tony, thank you for the videos. I would like to get involved in building a small hobby machine shop with both the mill and lathe. Would you have any suggestions of something affordable? I'd really like a Bridgeport, but it's not in this cards right now. Thank you.

[@williamhayden7711]

Oh thank heavens. TOT archive videos and repeats. Which means there is something GOOD to watch on KZbin. Time to sit back, relax, have a few laughs and learns a few things.

[@Benny---]

Just some minor tips for using cold blue. Make sure the part is as de-greased as possible, solvents like acetone work well and evaporate fast. And to get the best possible finish, warm it up until it's uncomfortable to touch, but it doesn't need to be any hotter. Blue the part. That's it. It will give far better results.

[@facundolencina2528]

Hi. What is the "cold blue"? I want to "get black" some tools of mine & i need to know. Greetings from Argentina.

Mind = Blown: How simple This Old Tony makes these projects look. I've been watching him for over a year now. Keeps me entertained and I learn something!

[@ecrusch]

Your videos are some of my favorites...honest. The combination of professional quality video skills, coupled with your obvious knowledge of machining is apparent. But, adding a light hearted touch and teaching me things with out saying one word is really impressive. Thank you very much.

[@InnerBushman]

Tony, I'm not a machinist (have some lathe training, but not much practice) but after watching this video (and when the need came) I've made a drawbar too! There is this small press drill / milling machine at work. The guys were using a stock threaded rod with some nuts to simulate the drawbar since the original had the threads stripped. You can't imagine how that annoyed me. I took matters into my hands and made one! Thanks for the video. Keep them coming! ;-)

[@michaelh3949]

Your the most creative you tuber out there, just love your sense of humor.keep up the great work!!!!!!!!

[@BartJBols]

I find these relaxing to watch even though ive never worked with metal before

[@Oli4vn]

Man you've been cranking out videos lately, all of superior quality! Amazing Tony!

[@lsdave]

Most underrated "making stuff" channel on youtube.

[@gerritstijvers7690]

That's quite a story with no words. Nice and clean and smart notch to make no mistake. I like it

[@ThisOldTony]

Thanks Gerrit.. with my luck I'll grab the right drawbar now.. and the wrong tool holder.

[@konradkalbarczyk9354]

32 years ago I collected a diploma of machinist from my technical school. Never worked as. Now I start to regret. :) I like some of Your tools esp. this hex holder for cutting bolt head. In our school workshops we have been using a divider, which was big and tricky for a boy I was. And of course THE SAW :D U made my day. Thanks.

[@shawnk6490]

I've never done any lathe work with metal or wood, and have limiting steelworking experience, but I know experience when I see it! Beautiful piece you built, and it's good to see you built something with a tool- for that tool! Self sufficiency at its best.

[@RambozoClown]

Nice job. Good thing you leveled your lathe first. You probably couldn't sleep at night knowing your drawbar has a .002" taper. Much better this way.

[@ThisOldTony]

haha

[@TheMarcball]

very crisp video as usual but... especially useful for me because I've just bought a 1930s Huré mill here in France and it does not seem to have a drawbar... Now I know how straightforward it is to make one (sort of). Thanks for the inspiration. I would have never bought that mill without your videos, making me feel (for no real reason) that I needed such a machine. My wife may think i'm nuts, but I won't regret it... Keep on trucking ! (from France)

[@barkebaat]

I'm a woodworker. I don't even know what a drawbar is, but I still liked the video. Shaping metal is magic as far as I'm concerned .

[@ronwilken5219]

@barkebaat Just like shaping wood except the glue(welding) is stronger and when you cut it (metal) short you can make it bigger again. Wood? You just burn it and make the part over. Done both, wood and metal. Still trying to decide which one is the more satisfying. Both materials are as expensive as each other now days.

[@routercnc9517]

Fantastic work Tony as always ! Nice change of style to the lay-back-and-enjoy format. Gives Stefan and Keith the night off . . . Next project for you Tony - little fixture to lightly hold the punches in a row so that the letters are straight and level (7:16).

[@ocng]

These 503 seconds made me smile - then grin - and then I realized, that this is more connectable than anything on TV. Finally made me follow through on what I've been wanting to do for a long time: get rid of the damn thing. It's on ebay right now! Too bad I can't exchange it for a lathe or mill of my own. And there's no shop in town that offers people to use such machines on their own. Darn.

[@paulodeoliveira3368]

Tony not only are you a craftsman but an entertainer too. Keep doing the good work buddy.

[@criSOME1]

That machine is beautiful. The projects you make are another reason why I'd like a mill.

One thing I like about your video's besides the obvious of edjabacating me on all things machining, is that your having as much fun producing by creative editing your video's as you are machining!

[@digitalbase9396]

I’m Really impressed. I was wondering how boring a making drawbar would be, but I was mistaken. I love the methodology of making the bolt head, wow. The blueing was also a nice touch. I was going to make a simple drawbar by using threaded rod and welding a nut on one end but now I think the method in the video is far better.

[@MichaelDisney]

At first I thought this was going to be a David Richard channel pastiche and was expecting some steam with the musical introduction. Anyway, what a fantastic video and amazing channel you have. Thanks for taking time to demonstrate so many of your technical skills and varied video production styles. What an inspiration!

Brings back memories from my apprenticeship as a fitter back in '93-'96 (in Denmark). My very first job at the lathe/mill was to fabricate some soft claws for the vice of an automated drill elsewere in the factory. And the CEO stood at the end of the lathe and watched me work for a couple of minutes. Man, was I nervous!
