[@jimmydiresta]

So so good!!! mad love and respect ✊

[@marceltimmers1290]

Hi mate. You expected anything else? This man is good.

[@jimmydiresta]

Marcel Timmers excellent as expected

[@MarkWladika]

Excellent and totally entertaining.

[@nath_tayl0rr]

jimmydiresta indeed one In my life when will they be available, great idea for a collab between you both

[@_P0tat07_]

Can I have the prototype :D I love both your channels!

[@jonhunt5408]

ToT! NOT standard threaded ends, so that standard fittings can be used! Use unconventional left handed threading, so that fittings are proprietary, and can only be sourced from you at great cost!

[@michaelharris1843]

Thanks a lot Tony! I downloaded the same app to save a little on abrasives, and long story short, you owe me a new phone.

[@asdomega]

Michael Harris could you provide me the Playstore link ? ;)

[@emeltea33]

Michael Harris - it's your fault you ruined your phone. Tony obviously didn't use water. Might need to try with one of those water proof cases next time. J/k, lol.

[@sarge152cliff4]

virtual sand paper can be purchased thru Charmin

[@jonhunt5408]

Works ok for me, but I found the deburring app works better on iOS...

[@trashes_to_treasures]

I got an iPhone 5 that constantly keeps hanging up itself and freezes the screen for a minute or so. So, I'd recommend something newer to prevent you from freezing all the time and therefore maybe ruining your material for stopping the sanding process and having to start again. Also, the files that I use don't really work, takes like hours until I see some results. Did someone make experiences with these "audio files" everyone is talking about? Are they comparable to an air file? I might try these for better results. Napster does file sharing, right? I wouldn't wanna buy them and then realize they don't work as good as expected, so borrowing some would do the trick first. Ultima ratio I'd consider watergate files. They remove everything, including governments, I heard. But since I'm a beginner still, I might start with some less expensive tools...

[@fasfan]

I really enjoy the little extra things you throw in there. Cutting the aluminum with the scissors, using the sandpaper on the phone, the recoil of the air gun, the using of the calipers to zoom in. Its those little touches that really make your videos that much more enjoyable to watch.

[@Hubbmade]

not gonna lie... that test shot and glass noise 15:09 got me! My heart jumped!

[@WARLOCKGPB]

yes ! , then i almost peed laughing hahahah

[@HouseofChop]

Indeed! Total LOL moment. Watched it a few times just for the pure enjoyment of it all.

[@gyrenrockz]

i almost died laughing...

[@pouyan225]

I'm late here but man I'm dying LOL 😂

[@GardenGuy1943]

I have chronic heart failure.

[@thelostone7404]

I watched this, and now I need to see DiRest-of it

[@tophan5146]

Can you give a link? I couldn’t find it.

[@joshnelson1801]

Did anyone find the video from diresta's channel or did I miss that one when I looked for it

[@BALES5000]

Tools, humor, and camera trickery...my favorites!!

[@SlobberDragon]

I laughed way too hard at the sandpaper app. Tony, you never cease to impress me!

[@ThisOldTony]

it has wet/dry too, but don't use it unless your phone is waterproof. ask me how I know.

[@zanpekosak2383]

This Old Tony LOL!😂😂

[@SlobberDragon]

What could you have possibly been doing to prove that? Does oil distort it at all either?

[@lorenzo42p]

try the belt sander app, but watch that hair trigger.. still looking for my phone after that mistake.

[@Makebuildmodify]

This is one of those "Why is this a product already?" Ideas. So awesome! Great video too.

[@Donorcyclist]

Man, I love your videos, Tony! You're one of the few creators whose content is worth going back to past episodes and watching!

[@Qthefun]

Seconded!

[@FrenchGuyCooking]

Hey Tony, why are your video so satisfying :) Love em

[@jazzyjay1150]

Hope he is well, maybe a Alex reach out could lift the spirits?

[@Abrikosmanden]

Your videos are some of my very favourite on KZbin! Great projects, great explanations and awesomely solid dad humor! The kick from the airgun almost had me spewing my morning oatmeal out onto my laptop! You are an absolute hero!

[@made_by_chris]

Man.....I had such a crap day at work....Came home, hopped on KZbin and found this. Life aint bad.

[@chrislee7817]

Hay, you are my twin ! 😀

[@kilerkai]

WOW, the multitalent carpenter master and the machining video virtuoso do a collaboration, this video is a dream

[@Neffers_UK]

Yeah man, the YT maker / machinist world is fuckin awesome. To the "professionals" they may seem like hacks but for the average guy like me, I look up to them. I wish I had the facilities to do a quarter of the stuff they can do, but I'm happy watching cause they are maing shit, not just talking about making shit. There's too many YT maker guys to mention, and it's effin awesome.

[@kilerkai]

ey dude, i work in an industrial production shop and i can tell you half of the guys there coudn´t do what they do

[@wangchi623]

Something something clickspring something

[@Racingboom]

Every episode I watch of TOT makes me realize that if he wasn’t bound to the confounds of his containment unit he would literally take over the world. He’s too powerful.

[@grahammcclelland181]

Clever bugger, makes me feel jealous. Well done.

[@craftedworkshop]

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. YES!

[@HandToolRescue]

Oh yes!

[@Accolade.]

share them both with a new video :D

[@Neffers_UK]

HTR, your vids have been awesome of late. The paper cutter was superb. Is there a follow up with the tool you restored for Mr Diresta? He's not mentioned / shown it yet.

[@HandToolRescue]

Thank you! I found a hairline crack in the cylinder that was allowing air to enter and causing the drill to not run properly. I need to either fix it or find a replacement at some point. I sent Jimmy the Cutawl I restored as a thank you.

[@63256325N]

The offset put me in mind of a split line in a sand casting. Nicely done. I'm sure Jimmy was liking it because that's the kind of guy he strikes me to be and I can see his comment.... Thanks for the video.

[@thegreatestjose]

Man, I am constantly impressed at your talent. Not just your crafting skills, but the unique sense of humor and comedic timing you are able to imbue in to your videos. They make for a perfect video.

[@ThisOldTony]

Thanks Jose, glad you like them!

[@DJ_Tasha_Nicole]

Holy crap. Mr Diresta and you working together using NYCNC plates? That's half my youtube faves!

[@iwtommo]

The CAD workflow/tipsntricks/how to dress video would be super appreciated!

[@2lefThumbs]

iwtommo yeah particularly the how to dress part, not sure that's covered in any other tutorials I've seen :D

[@mikeobarr8589]

It's wonderful watching my Hero building something for our Lord & Savior. Tony, you mentioned not knowing what direction the channel is headed lately... It's upward. Your videos get better every time you produce one. Thank you for making us feel welcome into your temple.

[@EricNistler]

Tony you are on point. I love your style. I can't get enough of the sans paper app and the cutting stock. Hilarious!

[@originaltonywilk]

Metal, precision and comedy.... brilliant as always : )

[@GregVirgoe]

@ 15:10 had me 😂 on a packed commute. Excellent video, fantastic tool and just the right amount of humour. Top draw man!!

[@cubeqtio]

Oh Tony. Made my day with your precision cutter.

[@thebmac]

Friggin Jimmy, Friggin This Old Tony,.....Friggin Brilliant!!

[@tjackman]

I have really been loving your content! I binge watched all of your videos over the past few days. I have to say you are one of my favorite people on youtube for your humor, video editing skills, and wonderful use of machines. Hopefully I will be able to learn more from you in the future too!

[@skamego]

I'm always shocked TOT doesn't have more followers. You really can't too his videos in content or quality.

[@ThisOldTony]

Thanks IR!

[@ThisOldTony]

StrainGauge: I concur. Is a travesty.

[@kengamble8595]

There's one thing that I'm sure of now, YOU are the guy that all of your friends want to hang with ! Got the skills and the humor AND the personality,........ just don't run for any kind of public office, that might mess you up in the head ! 😆 That sandpaper app would come in handy, but I think I liked it better with the texture, looks good anyway! 👍👍 Thanks for sharing and take care.

[@ThisOldTony]

thanks Ken!

[@Mark_]

Lovely, Good & Nice Piece. You Tack back nature at your home and Caressing our eyes, you do in very Special Way wich is never boring. You are a very Good Teacher & You understand Art . Thank you Mr. Tony :)

[@Ron36415]

Beautiful! one of these in stainless would last for generations

[@EcoMouseChannel]

I don't laugh much, but when I do, it's on a This Old Tony video.

[@jamessonger3]

Jesus... I absolutely just love this channel. Gotta be the best channel on the tube!!!

[@josephmagniez9580]

Two of the best youtube channels making a collaboration. I say Yes ! very nice video, love 'em. Thank's for filmin'

[@thelamb288]

Your videos are always fun, but much more than that, they teach and educate. The combination of the two is what is needed in School Teachers these days. Cheers.

[@ThisOldTony]

thanks Lamb!

[@78pinkus]

What ever happened to the air gun did it go anywhere I can't find any videos on Jimmy's Channel wanted to see follow up

[@ROBRENZ]

Most excellent as always Tony! ATB, Robin

[@keefesands1997]

You were killing it with the gags in this one, Tony.. Keep up the good work.

[@22mswartz]

Awesome! Now that you and Jimmy have collaborated, there is no telling what awesome inventions we'll see in the near future! Great job!

[@antonymilne3654]

You are a genius. Your range of skills is unsurpassed.

[@RobertSzasz]

Your editing made it look like you drilled and tapped for the inlet and nozzle, put in the valve, and air flowed through solid aluminum. I would have expected drilling those long air passages would be a challenge and wanted to see if you used any tricks to do it.

[@liveepically]

Both inlets meet in the passageway that the valve is in. easy peasy. Drill the inlet and outlet straight in, then drill the valve body straight down.

[@matthewlorfeld5412]

Robert Szasz I was wondering about that! Thanks

[@AlexSwavely]

If you look closely, when he's about to drill out the nozzle mount you can see that he'd already drilled the air passage

[@PeregrineBF]

It's Tony. He just smacked em with a center punch, that makes a perfect hole every time.

[@RGSABloke]

Alex Swavely Ah yes, got it at 7:30, not paying enough attention, I should go to the bottom of the class. Cheers. Joe.

[@ls2005019227]

Exactly why you're my favorite KZbinr...not sure if it's the aluminum cutting scissors, the cell phone sandpaper, the caliper zoom (combined with your impressive design/machining skills) - your videos are pure awesomeness. I learn something from each one. THANKS!

[@Neolith100]

"...its got quite a kick" Solid laughing fit for 10 mins. Well done Tony, earned my sub!

[@tyronejk]

You might've already considered this, but I'd drill a hole somewhere (maybe through the top of the shuttle) to vent that spring chamber. If the leak rate at the bottom oring is higher than the middle oring, pressure will eventually build up in the spring chamber and give you the effect you mentioned initially with the two oring design. It really doesn't make much of difference since you'll notice it right away and can just replace the seal, but coming from a paintball gun design background, that sealed spring chamber doesn't sit quite right with me.

[@ThisOldTony]

good idea tyronejk, thanks!

[@pjhalchemy]

Thanks Tony and Jimmy...looking forward to the cad and Jimmy's video(s). Interesting to bring the sketch in and trace off of it...have done it in AI and exported to acad. Would like to know more about how the port diameters and spool valve diameters were fingered, earballed or enginerded for specific flow and noise levels. Glad no one was hurt in the making of the knuckle blow gun proto and hope that sanding app doesn't get butt dialed...might be hard on the fingers and knuckles. Perhaps the final version could have a magazine of tips that ratchet into place and a slightly tapered spool valve for even more control. Always a pleasure to be able to watch class acts. ~PJ

[@ThisOldTony]

Thanks PJ!

[@CookieManCookies]

Gosh, I'm jealous of that thing. I bet a snapon or harbor freight version wouldn't be nearly as elegant.

[@kappadistributive]

The production quality, both in terms of your machining projects and videos, is simply astonishing...

[@ThisOldTony]

Thanks!

[@boomer1658]

15:10 i was not expecting that He made me choke on my water

[@maxhammick948]

Neat! I bet the x error in the CNC routering was due to a variation in the length of the stock, that'd be easy to slip by. Maybe your scissors need sharpening?

[@elidouek5438]

One of your best videos Tony! Well done!

[@jkharwood1973]

got to your site from watching DiResta's site. This video is fantastic. Love the mix of humor, detail and experience. Well done.

[@rr974]

Great work! Shouldn't there be a venting hole below the valve? Now any leakage through the lower o-ring can still build up pressure below the valve.

[@tylergarza6632]

yes but if there is leakage in the lower o-ring what's to say the middle and upper o-rings don't leak as well? just trust the o-ring.

[@AndrewBrowner]

bump this for the final design

[@MaximilianonMars]

@@tylergarza6632 good policy in general, should be on a bumper sticker 😱

[@thisstuffido9141]

Should have left the "Farthead" on the final part.

It’s pronounced far-THEED

[@ButBigger42]

The phone gag was epic.

[@Sabbatheist]

Got me laughing like a drain, as always.

[@noahbaumeister5925]

McAtheist "laughing like a drain?"

[@AdityaMehendale]

Hi Tony, For the 3rd o-ring to really work, there must be a relief hole for releasing any minuscule quantities of air that do cross it. Have a drip for long enough and you can fill a bucket. And when the bucket overflows, that shuttle-pin *will* fly across the room ;) The leak could be to the outside (near the middle finger-hole) or to the output-hole (by means of a bore through the valve-shuttle). Cheers!

[@taba1950]

I didn't notice how happy I get seeing a new TOT video until now
