Project Vise Handle

Vise handle build: 14mm square drive. Come along for the ride?

[@PracticalEngineeringChannel]

Getting a TIG machine for christmas so I can be cool like Tony

[@iwantitpaintedblack]

i love it when my subs intercommunicate, it shows that we all share a common interest, the category of content creators and the subscriber base

[@clement583]

Practical Engineering who wouldnt wanna be Cool like him, keep up the amazing work by the way. side note, where did you get that small architects ruler?

[@PracticalEngineeringChannel]

It was conference SWAG, but you can get them on amazon.

[@babylonfive]

Oh Grady... you'll never be as cool like Tony... j/k, we love you both.

[@trumanhw]

*Gonna take a whole lot more than a TIG. :) I keed. :)* *MAYBE -- P.E. + Tony could collaborate on a project..??*

[@TilmanBaumann]

Nice one. I actually laughed out hard at the Clickspring reference

[@Mirinmaru]

Tilman Baumann Same ^^

[@mattiasfagerlund]

me too!

[@BillVanLoo]

Perfectly played!

[@nerdboy19]

Tilman Baumann same here LOVED it hahaha

[@Stefan_Van_pellicom]

Tilman Baumann Haha, me too !

[@SeanHodgins]

I would have just used a square drill bit. duh.

[@ThinkinThoed]

For a permanent solution? Sure, if you're feeling ghetto! :)

[@CreaseysWorkshop]

They exist.

[@throngcleaver]

Actually, a square drill will cut a 5-sided hole. You need a 3 sided bit to produce a square hole, just like you need a 5-sided bit to cut a hexagonal hole.

[@pipsantos6278]

Make that two if you find one

[@michaelgeale9345]

Or the new rotary broach?

[@AlecSteele]

What a fantastic video! Thank you!

[@thatonegayfurry4177]

oi alec can i have ur powerhammer the one thats fast ya know XD XD

[@barmetler]

I can hear you say fantastic when reading this comment fantAstic

[@coreyrobinson9010]

Now that you are here in the states... do a Collab together!

[@SilverloafCustomRazors]

@@barmetler Fantastic as ever!

[@BasementShopGuy]

Love the freeze-frame with the ever-so-sligt enlarged completed-photo. And the happy music. Seriously man, you have an excellent sense for film.

[@ThisOldTony]

Thanks Brad!

[@websitesthatneedanem]

Yes, levity is a great tutor!

[@mikeburch2998]

I agree with this. If the content is awesome, I'll tell the author just how much it is but if not then I'll tell them that as well. If they put it out here then they have to expect it. Tony's video presentation is remarkably great in my opinion.

[@tabaks]

SgtPiggie, put some ice onto that burn. And go out to play.

[@gerardgemarin553]

Fixer un vieux étau à pied à un établi

[@pfriedel]

Oh sure, too swank to just stick a vise grip on it semi-permanently. I see how you are.

[@ThisOldTony]

hahah

[@dermotcasey7752]

This Old Tony what meterial did u use for that i want to make 1 like it for my Ajax mill also what is the name of the thing you used to shape the ball st the end of the handle

[@mikeking7470]

Truth. I see a lot of faucets and valves with permanent "Vise-grips", (usually the el-cheapos from the bin at the farm and fleet store or auto parts store) cheaper than a replacement handle.

[@Oberon4278]

Funny you should mention that. Earlier tonight my chuck key broke. First thing I did was slap a vise grip on it. (It didn't work, I had to mill a slot to give the vice grips a place to hold onto.)

[@jimmydiresta]

So dam good!!

[@troyam6607]

Reminds me of your vids with the hammer pin flaring. :)

[@ThisOldTony]

thanks JD!

[@grntitan1]

You made the squaring of the hole look easy. I've not had such great luck in my attempts. Great entertaining yet educational video as always. Bravo

[@ThisOldTony]

The key is good quality, very sharp files. Drilling out the corners took out most of the material. If you try to dig into a round hole, on the other hand...

[@javisstuff]

couldn't you just cut the excess material with the milling machine?

[@colin.jaquiery]

I wondered that too. Possibly the hole was too narrow/deep to get an end mill into, and drilling right through was simpler.

[@carneeki]

Loved this video! But I'm left wondering, how did you tighten the vise to make the vise handle? More time travel? ;)

[@josuelservin2409]

Adam Carmichael That or he uses his bare fingers and his manly man strength XD

[@Ultrabluber]

Or maybe just an Adjustable spanner lol

[@ThisOldTony]

I made the video _after_ I made the vise handle. Sometimes you have to plan ahead.

[@cylosgarage]

BURN THE MACHINIST

[@amateurhour124]

Wait.. so, if he weighs the same as a duck...

[@corkyandteresalight8258]

Hey Toan-nee, you are a machine-tool magician. My Honey and I enjoy your videos. I can't wait for a full length major motion picture. Keep up the GREAT vids. I wish I was one of your kids so youse could teach me all about using machinery. Thank you.

[@dpmakestuff]

I learn these tiny little things like wiggling the cutter as you plunge into the cut on the handle. It's a pleasure watching you work. Thanks!

[@ThisOldTony]

Thanks Dustin!

[@scottjampa6374]

at 7:00, it leaves the chamfer the same depth on the curved surface. I love this dedication to detail.

[@Redmech80]

Darn, you're pretty slick. I enjoy seeing your tricks and your humor.

[@MaxMakerChannel]

I absolutley love your style! You are a big inspiration for my channel. Every time I watch your videos I look on ebay afterwards for a lathe.

[@kengamble8595]

I gotta say you have one hellava sense of humor ! I've always enjoyed watching machining videos but yours are a CUT above the rest, thanks !

[@warrantyvoid100]

If Clickspring's new project is a Byzantine calendar will you go one further and make a series about your social calendar?

[@MrZenerTech]

Awesome project. Fantastic workmanship. Exceptional video production! The music & still frames reminds me of one of my favorite classic Jack Lemon films called Good Neighbor Sam. As always, education with comedic entertainment. Thank You!

[@jabelsjabels]

Hey, as a percussionist, I'll say: nice shaker technique with those files

[@ThisOldTony]

Thanks Jeremy!

[@jorgeconcheyro]

He should try that same movement with a jar half full of dry rice huh? shiki shiki shiki

[@anicecoldbepis]

I think you actually meant to say a Jar half empty of dry ice

[@danielscott9137]

sawzaw file action would have been applauded!

[@4n2earth22]

Watched it again and STILL liked it! Bravo.

[@MrJob91]

Clickspring prototyping level 100.

[@oppanheimer]

I love watching this guy's work.

[@HotboiEngineering]

Love the Clickspring reference. Good content as always man! I'm saving up to buy a new Lathe as my old bench top one crapped out on me the other day...

[@hignaki]

4:35 for those not paying attention. Love it!

[@MattOGormanSmith]

Crapped out? Beyond repair? This is why I want to start filming everything I do, so I can catch the moment when a boring job suddenly turns into the start of an interesting journey.

[@elieakel3801]

WOW!!! What a great project demonstration. Very interesting to watch. This is easily 2 or more hours condensed in 7 minutes

[@chriscraven9572]

Super blend of entertainment and practical work. p.s. I've a load of 3" steel CRS to cut, what's the chance of hiring out your boy. It would be a lot quicker than bandsawing it.

[@ThisOldTony]

His day rate is 2 bags of M&Ms and a PB&J at noon.

[@peterthannhauser2225]

I've thoroughly enjoyed your vids the past year: Educational, Inspirational & Comical. Keep up the good work!

[@ThisOldTony]

Thanks Peter!

[@fortunateson6070]

Subbed for nod to Clickspring and because AvE is in the comments talking about Tubalcain.

[@matsworld9386]

I admire the way you tell your stories. Great work!

[@clarencecherrone7914]

The sound of that clicking into place means I can sleep at night again

[@Pawelism]

Such a satisfying SNAP at 3:05. Don't you just live for the sound of a good fit?

[@OldIronShops]

always love your metal cutting gags.

[@KnolltopFarms]

I knew that sword was too cool not to make another appearance!

[@floatvoid]

*shord

[@zachary7042]

Chris Anderson He should use a lightsaber that would be hilarious

[@thelamb288]

Just brilliant. For those who do not know, Enineering at it's best. Thanks Old Tony :) Cheers.

[@whatthefunction9140]

my wife has one like that.

[@Moneypit330]

Dylan T I see what you did there...

[@victormgv]

Nobody tell him! Let him be happy. Just let him be.

[@NicolasPoirier]

Your videos are mix of horrible puns that make me keep watching and awesome videography! Keep up the good work these videos are awesome.

[@holder350]

Nice Clickspring reference. ;)

[@GablesDude]

You really do nice work with just a touch of humor so it isn't so stuffy. Well done.

[@Cancun771]

G'day mate! Next time you make fun of clickspring, remember to show off your funny Australian accent ;-)

[@mehmetedex]

I wish more people watch and learn from this channel "how to make youtube videos".

[@howder1951]

Now it will be easier to follow Ave'sclosing advice! Nice video, enjoyed it, cheers and Merry Christmas!

[@BernhardHofmann]

Brilliant; so well done and entertaining. I can't believe there are people who gave this a thumbs down. What miserable little people. Thank you for a very entertaining and educational video. 👍

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Awesome work, thanks for sharing

[@hfletcher39]

Artistry - that how I describe your work.

[@datarat7724]

the clickspring reference was a nice touch

[@phantomproject9020]

e sempre piacevole guardare i tuoi video/lavori tony !

[@micahwinters7021]

Who’s here watching it for the 100th time? Never stop watching TOT

[@moltenaluminium]

Just watched this again. We miss you Tony.

[@Kettletrigger]

Geez...now you're using wet/dry finishing sticks too? One obsessive Kiwi makes a clock and now we all have to do beautiful work at every turn. I couldn't be happier of course. :)

[@ThisOldTony]

Just my lathe file and some sandpaper, I'm afraid. I debated a bright polish but then I would have had to do the whole thing that way :)

[@elidouek5438]

Chris is Aussie, not Kiwi

[@PaulsGarage]

wow that ends up looking very nice! especially for a vise handle!

[@TheJakkon]

What the name of the music?

[@dcaonoek]

That Clickspring bit... Top shelf!

[@ManhattanWoodProject]

Love the editing, it's always a blast watching your videos. Great project, too. :)

[@scruffmcmuff236]

This video made my man root tingle! Top work as usual:)

[@G4merM]

can someone tell me what is the name of the music? it's reminding me of Django's jazz :)

[@LucasGarrow]

Love your videos. You have a great talent!

[@SgtSly]

I will come along for this ride, and I will enjoy every second. This Old a Tony; possibly the only machining KZbin channel that can evoke laughter without a word. A narrow audience, I know, but you do it well, sir.

[@ThisOldTony]

Thanks SgtSly, glad you enjoy them!

[@tankerkiller125]

I swear I've watched this video about a dozen times, I don't even own any machines!

[@pdrg]

I love this Tony. Informative video, gently and humorously presented. No malice, no ill will, no dickswinging, just a great maker video. Thanks and have a lovely Christmas

[@ThisOldTony]

Thanks Paddy!

[@ptonpc]

Great to see the Schword is still in use :)

[@AcornFox]

That Clickspring reference hahahaha

[@desmes62]

Magnifique, comme toujours.

[@Cactusworkshopchannel]

UGH this is so good it makes me angry!!! awesome. I had to stop the video after the first 3 min to comment i couldn't wait,

[@glenralph5123]

I done the same thing and then watched it again. Haha

[@creswick]

Thanks! I need to make one of these, and I've been hoping you'd post a video of how you made yours (there was a hint somewhere that it was home-made...).

[@9772783]

4:40 Im going to have a stab in the dark here and say you're a little sad over Chris finishing his clock.

[@Chancellor_dumb]

i gotta hand it to you using the blue sharpie makes seeing where your lines are on dirty work and clean work alike easier

[@danbreyfogle8486]

To say I am impressed is an under statement. As a woodworker for over 50 years to see anything made with such precision is remarkable. If I could make anything within a sixty fourth of an inch is awesome, and here you are machining to tolerances I can only dream of, great video.

[@slep5039]

No word needed - this was great!

[@istarianjinsama]

I had no idea a wooden sword could be that sharp- I think I enjoy the silly stuff as much as anything else, like the wood in the mixing bowl and the other photography tricks. Great stuff!

[@1nvisible1]

*The income potential of this video is amazing. In an apocalypse scenario, this man could make unlimited 10mm sockets.*

[@cylosgarage]

10/10. This inspired me to make my own vice handle. Obviously, it's not as pretty, but that's not important

[@DaveBardin]

I saw that "Click Spring" reference I do love your work.

[@batner]

How come watching a video of a man on the other side of the globe doing manly stuff makes me happy?

[@jakobrebeki]

this is what i love about this channel. this vise handle, the over arm support, the draw bar, the quick change tool post, the backing plate for the 4 jaw chuck etc. the micro boring head was i think his greatest tool build to date. i think that this is this old tony at his finest. and allways set to music and comedy. many thanks TOT....

[@wuzuprocker]

Another fantastic video!

[@Marvin.Runyon]

The finish on that ball is the envy of the Khyber pass!

[@atlasparadigm3585]

MarvinRunyon if their ball turning is anything like their weapons manufacturing they need serious help

[@glenralph5123]

This video is amazingly simple which makes it simply amazing. The file maracas and the Clickspring homage is a great touch on top of neat videography and machine work. Yourself and Chris are by far the best creators, at least to me! Do you have a patreon page?

[@NitroRC]

Am I the only one who has watched this like 10 times+ just because of the music ?

[@shaunmiller9369]

yes

[@whengchung90]

Me too

[@frvo]

Would love to know what the name of the song is. I looked it up in the KZbin Audio Library with no luck.

[@Bookerb2004]

I love the editing in these, great stuff

[@Bill_CBR]

Great video, I love the "Dial-A-Job" you have.

[@jackburton8947]

This is the video that got me so into you tony....

[@Jan_Seidel]

oh my god! He did it. Removed metal without a power tool. Just using a file. My world falls into chips

[@paullackey9078]

I was waiting for you to broach the topic of broaching, but I suppose we'll have to file that one away for later. ;)

[@HaydenHatTrick]

Whatever happened to "this wouldn't be an old tony flick if I just cut to the point"? (still good tho)

[@ThisOldTony]

In the essence of time I cut out the whole building-the-milling-machine-and-the-vise-out-of-scrap-metal and did just a vise handle video.

[@HaydenHatTrick]

This Old Tony, seems legit!

[@uelssom]

loved the clickspring reference

[@2tommyrad]

More great music, today on, TOT!

[@omar654321]

Beautiful video i loved it !

[@turbocobra]

Awesome video. Great machine work and clever editing!

[@Platypus2048]

Damn, you make some nice videos!! Thanks!

[@timothyreheht6485]

4:36 do you come from a land down under?

[@JBLewis]

Clickspring was my first thought too!

[@KingNast]

Addi I think Chris is a kiwi actually

[@timothyreheht6485]

still a land down under :-D

[@moltenaluminium]

Chris lives in Cairns. I believe he is Aussie.

[@sharkwizard9249]

Love your videos! can you do a project where you show how to make a ball turner tool?

[@farmerwoody123]

3:40 - the Abom79 method from sundays video lol

[@folxsgalaxy993]

I Love Your funny montage and machinist mastercraft - awesome! ;)

[@HaloWolf102]

Using the files as maracas to match the music was a nice touch.

[@beefkake8350]

This guys is a genius end of story

[@RedBairnMedia]

I'm not gonna lie. I'm impressed the wooden sword is still in one piece after all this time.

[@marceltimmers1290]

Hi mate. I was thinking the same thing. Either that or it must have been repaired.

[@ThisOldTony]

That makes two (three?) of us! He's good with it. Though he hasn't used it as a pry bar yet. That'd do it.

[@GregVirgoe]

You know you've made it when Jimmy and Dustin are watching your videos. (I wish!) The mix of Humour and great engineering skill is a definite winner. I've binged on most of your videos the last couple of days. Great Job!

[@JustinAlexanderBell]

unexpected kitkat

[@ThisOldTony]

The best kind.

[@robwgeorge]

That was awesome! Thanks!

[@ThisOldTony]

Thanks Robert!

[@TonyFleetwood]

merry x-mas tony! thanks for the great vids!

[@ThisOldTony]

and to you! thanks for watching!

[@Merkenau]

Now the vice looks like an children's drawing of an baby-elephant without ears...

[@Walking_Death]

SHORD !!!

[@NilsRohwer]

Superb. Thank you

[@JCElzinga]

This is why you are the master. your video work is better than your machinist work.

[@simonfairall5122]

I need to hire a metal cutter like that, so fast, so accurate. I guess he is paid with candy? Or MacDonalds?
