Btw, This Old Tony While rewatching this video about 329th time I thought I'll share one piece of advice with you When you try to polish just about anything, I suggest you trying to use 3M's P3000 Trizact for final/just before final step It's a spongy sandpaper used for wet sanding. The finish is just lovely. I saw it in form of 150mm diameter discs for sanders and I'm not sure if there is any other, maybe different diameters, but anyway it's still good for manual work. I heard about "higher" grits ("higher" like P6000) and never used it though, but I assume finish would be even better. Although I highly recommend against P1000, bad experiences with those.

MR Bialetti has been a precise man and like every Italian engineer had passion for design and simmetry. So he designed the pressure relief valve placement to mark the correct torque for the gasket. He designed the Moka to have the valve and the spelt to be in a vertical line when torqued correctly. In effect despite that attention, even in Italy every day we abuse a lot of poor gaskets.

Beth the friendly manual/ CNC machinist here! If you’re ever worried about collapsing thin walled section that you’re machining, take a very heavy depth of cut compared to your desired wall thickness at a slower feed rate on your final cut. This essentially ensures the cut is self supporting and therefore you can’t collapse the bushing that you’re making! :) this is how they make bushes with 0.15mm walls :). Give it a go on some scrap and you’ll find some luck!

Honestly I feel like the difference between being scalded by a spray of boiling water and being burned by a jet of superheated steam is a tomato-tomahto situation
@joshuacollins3854 жыл бұрын
From what I've heard it's a pretty huge difference. Steam penetrates a lot of layers of skin in a way that water just doesn't unless you're submerged.
@NaHaldIch4 жыл бұрын
being a plumer, i can confirm this due to own experience... water needs a heck of a lot of energy to vaporize. that combined with the ability to penetrate way deeper into human skin makes a vapor scalding way worse (and more painful for that matter) than a water scalding.

Just to be pedantic, if steam is superheated, there won't be any water left.

It looks mid century modern to me. I want to say a bit Scandinavian. I love it. I watched this video I 2018. Watching again now after getting a machine tech certificate I have a much deeper appreciation for this. Well done!

This channel reminds me of when i used to go with my ungle to his workplace and learn bits of metal working. The constant jokes and the kind of jokes makes it all so great. I love this guy and his way of explaining, editing and humour. Thank you Tony.

I seriously need one of these. I have the vacupress system but, this fits the bill for portability and efficiency of heating the water.

How does a Maker/Engineer make Espresso? Do they: A) Go to a coffee shop and order some B) Buy an Espresso maker and make some C) Realizes they dont have an Espresso maker and makes one, then uses their torch to heat it If you chose A or B, turn in your degree and never build/own a workshop.

But I worked hard for my incomplete business degree! ...which is why I probably watch vids of real builds and only make stuff that hurts me in both process and use.

I also work with computers as a systems administrator, but I'm also fairly good with my hands. In a previous era (or indeed today's era, given the way the job market is going :P ) I'd probably be a maintenance engineer. Now I want a lathe. Damn you :D

Excellent job Old Tony. Not just a 'how to use tools to build more tools' project (which I love by the way), but a real contribution to life outside the workshop. Well my guess is it'll be used outside the shop, but maybe it's purpose is just not to have to leave the shop for a coffee. Well done, amazingly good filmed, humorous voice over. Can't stop watching, although I should do other things right now….

The first coffee i ever tasted was brewed in such a pot. We call it an "Italian nut", because the most common type here has the angular shape of a nut. I'm still brewing my coffee every morning in such a pot. Not as strong as a real espreeso, from a proper high-pressure machine, but still beats every other alternative! And you made this just right! Good job!
