Or in order for you to do something that she wants, show her how this new tool (insert any damn tool you need) will help you do what she WANTS you to do. OH, and it does help if you bring her to your working area and let her watch you do some magical thing like cutting a special thread on a small part. OH... I forgot to tell you. If by chance you are one of those who believe that opposites attract... that isn't love its lust. so... Hopefully you were smarter than I was and you only married once and she has A LOT in common with you. Then she will understand exactly what the hell you are doing and why. That way, when you say "Honey, how about we go to Woodcraft and look at the wood lathes." and she says..." How about we go to Woodcraft and buy a wood lathe." You will know you have chosen wisely... BUT... be damn sure you make stuff for her!!! Now. How did I get my first metal lathe? I had a great rifle that I loved but I found a South Bend 9A lathe that I wanted more. I traded. Here is the small lesson. If you sell something, use that money to buy something to replace it. Similarly, if you are going to trade something, trade it for something you are going to replace it with. I had a great rifle that my grandpa had given me so the ole 30.06 just wasn't needed any more. hence my new lathe. Good hunting!! OH, and in case I forgot to mention it... make stuff for her!!!

Consider universities mandating all sorts of diversity classes and such to get a degree. It is indoctrination coupled with a type of extortion. Consider people taking classes for what they want to learn are more likely to work to learn.

The problem teachers face with this kind of dry subject is putting it into a context that students will be interested in and concentrate. Viewers of this old channel are interested in making lumps of metal different shapes. Tony can use applicable examples to show how it all works which makes the information bit more interesting and you engage more. In a class of 30 to 40 students, very few of them will have a similar set of interests, so teachers are limited in how to show what they are teaching in a real world setting. This gives rise to people saying 'when will I ever use this crap after I leave school?. In a job I had many years ago I had to help a guy set CCTV cameras up to monitor banks of slot machines for a couple of days whilst his assistant was out sick. Now how they used to do it was one would watch the monitor whilst the other would tweak settings and lenses on the camera. This seemed like a long winded way to so it. So I asked if we could try one camera my way, with that evening's beers riding on the success of my idea. I took the tape measure and measured the length of the bank on slot machines, the height of them, the height of the ceiling, and the angle of the lens' field of view. Then using a bit of trigonometry, worked out how far away from the machines the camera should be located, the angle from the machines both in relation to the ceiling and to the bank of machines. Armed with may calculations, I measured out where the camera was to be located and mounted it, used an old school protractor to set the angles and hooked up the cable. The only tweak we needed was to focus the camera and then agree to what time my colleague would be getting the first beer in. It took about 1/5th of the time they used to take and as far as I know, they're still using my method and enjoying longer breaks because they 'forgot' to tell our manager they found a quicker way to do the job. Even the strangest maths taught in school can crop up in every day life.

You only did one yeah of trig in High School? Back in the Eighties we had 5 years of High School and trig was part of the syllabus every year. (Full disclosure, I took Mathematics right through Matric)

[@tracylemme1375]

For me nothing is satisfying as using “shop math” and having a project come out perfectly.

[@1394ghostman]

one of the coolest explanations EVER on this topic. i have brushed shoulders with many instructors in many schools of thought, college full time at 15yrs old, trade school in California, IBEW trade school in Missouri, Technical school in Tennessee, and now a deep yerning to learn machinists theory and protocals considering all the equiptment i have aquired over the years for 'pipe-dream' projects. i have never heard such perfect, easy to understand, examples of trig functions...ever. WELL DONE. thank you very much for your videos sir. Precise, reasoning, humor, examples, ect., perfect mix.

why the hell were you not my math teacher.... I finally get it now!!! Thanks Tony!!!

[@williamdegnan4718]

"We learned something here today." -Kyle And, it reinforced for me why my Dad, the Engineer, always spoke reverently about individual machinists, with whom he interacted. Also, I should note that concepts and relevance discovered earning Surveying Merit Badge saved me when faced with High School geometry, algebra and trig. When I was in school, so much was apparently irrelevant. It wouldn't have taken much to tie it to usefulness, which would have helped with motivation and understanding. Thanks, Tony.

[@mcgam2000]

I loved Trig in school and still use it from time to time and I'm 72... And now that I saw the whole thing it is really interesting.... 2 thumbs up!!!

[@cspann831]

Always entertaining! I remember in 10th or 11th grade my algebra-trig teacher showed us the height of a flagpole problem and it was then the light bulb went on. I was hooked. In a few hours I was calculating joints for geodesic domes, I even taught my mechanical drawing teacher how to do it. Great stuff Tony!

[@BigHeretic]

*This Old Tony* I loved the angle on the lathe to get an accurate "half division". Cool!

[@truckguy6666]

There is so much brilliant explanation of useful math in this video, I dont know how it could be improved. Machinists and woodworkers alike can put this to use. TOT is the best on youtube.

[@billbaggins]

there was once a great hunter, he was married to a Cherokee lady that was every bit as great a hunter as him. every night they would make love on the skin of a hippopotamus they killed on their honeymoon. sadly she was killed by a couple of bears before they had any children. our great hunter of course killed the two bears and kept their hides. eventually he found love again in the arms of a sweet Apache girl. they would make love every night on the bear hides that had taken his first wife ,she was a terrible hunter but did produce a fine son who grew up to be as good as his father and his first wife. what does it all mean ?? the squaw rooted on the hippopotamus is equal to the son of the squaw rooted on the other two hides

Tony, trig is a very useful piece of mathematics, one I use regularly. I grew up in the time before calculators, and used sine, cos and tan tables and a slide rule in high school and through university.

[@tomthumb3085]

Brilliantly explained. Plenty of humour to add interest as well. I wish my teachers had been as interesting to listen to. Thanks Tony.

Had to teach myself the entire friggin' time and get my mind blown in 5 minutes by TOT

[@jackonthefarm5540]

I memorized SOH CAH TOA. This has served me well my entire engineering career. Very interesting to learn about sine bars. I had no idea. I have no machining experience. Only your subtle humor makes me listen to 26 minutes of tirg. Nice job.

You actually have those functions on your phone--You open the calculator function, and turn your phone horizontal and the the screen flips to wide with the trig functions. The "INV" key will give you the arc functions. My phone is also smarter than I.

That is hardly surprising....... Calculators DON'T have "tot" buttons.
