Wintergatan's Marble Elevator

[@Wintergatan]

Thank you for blessing the Marble Machine X, Body and Soul!

[@manar6187]

Congrats Martin for making the best collaboration i've seen in my life. That plot twist at the end is just awesome haha

[@matthewdupuis232]

Great collab, guys! Martin, you're brilliant!

[@aaronale5]

This was one of the best so far.. Elbow patches for the win!

[@stephss]

I am thrilled you two collaborated.

[@billkeithchannel]

I can't believe it has been almost 20 years since I did this type of work for a living. Brings back memories..... not all of them good, mind you. ;)

The World now sucks a bit less.

[@frankbusuttil2572]

Alex French Guy Cooking, with every this old tony video the world sucks a lot less and when there is a quiet click Spring reference, well...

[@umarmars47]

I love ramen too!!

[@paulskaar8556]

Clearly the secret goal of the Manhattan-project-style operation. Cheers Tony et Al!

[@snippy7990]

So what are you building for MMX? :D

[@SternLX]

I keep expecting to see you over at Martin's house in a Wintergatan video for some reason. Maybe because you both live in France.

[@StefanGotteswinter]

Hey. Who filmed me in my shop?! You must have lost your marbles.

[@matthewdupuis232]

Wah wah.

[@davescowie]

Balls

[@andrewc7369]

I never thought it possible for one video to have it all, dad jokes, cult movie referances, machining, and a cat. Good enough to watch twice.

[@JasonWorksAlot]

Andrew C oh yeah, twice... totally not like six or seven times at all..... don't judge me😳

[@tayloraustin1997]

I didn't realize that the shawshank redemption was a cult movie

[@eduardorochin7601]

I love how TOT is shy of 400k subs but most of his videos have 300 k views which means that the people that subscribes to his channel actually sees his content AWESOME

[@Wintergatan]

You don't find a lot of channels on KZbin with that Subscriber to views ratio, says a lot!!

[@disarm2k10]

When i see a new video pop, I'll stop whatever useful i do and watch asap :)

[@ajmoo9007]

I've never found a channel that I've liked so much in my life. I'm an engineering student and love doing design. This Old Tony has taught me a ton about machining and metal working, so much so that at 19 I have just bought my first metal lathe. Its only a south bend 8 incher from 1932, but with it I'm already putting to use things I've learned from this channel. So thanks a ton for what you do and for every video you produce.

[@bbgun061]

I wish he would show us exactly how he hotwired his lathe...

[@Hoaxer51]

Benjamin Brooks, yea, I didn’t know that was a gasoline powered lathe

[@1978garfield]

Actually physically building things in the shop will make you a MUCH better engineer. So many engineers have lots of theory but no practical experince.

[@ROBRENZ]

You just keep getting better and better Tony! ATB, Robin

[@popefacto5945]

Agreed. He's really honing his video-creating craft. Artful, funny, and educational!

[@HandToolRescue]

Glorious.

[@cosmicsandwich7307]

Love your restoration videos!!

[@ShamblerDK]

omg, even you came here! Seen every single one of your videos and I love all of them and the way you do them :-D

[@802Garage]

Your channel has basically become my therapy on hard days. 🙏

[@machinbrico]

Should I use a European cat to create metric screws or does any cat work ?

[@TheManLab7]

😂

[@Ultrazaubererger]

To check if your cat will produce metric or imperial screws just measure the thread pitch of the stripes in its fur.

[@machinbrico]

I can confirm it's metric, but he's making trapezoidal profile screws... I'm trying to feed him triangular cat food and I'll keep you posted

[@ryankennedy3109]

Well that's why they make a "Canada" Lynx. Duh.

[@RicardoAum]

As a matter of fact, any cat not coming from the US, Burma or Liberia will produce metric screws.

[@sorryimajerk735]

And its because of folks like you, and abom that give me the confidence to set up my own machine center in my automotive shop and try to repair parts, make parts and generally be more capable and diverse than i was before. thanks for all the inspiration brother

[@RevampedOutdoors]

These collaboration cut shots you've been doing lately are hilarious.

[@jamieh6084]

The collaboration and humour in this video is absolutely brilliant! I love it!

[@jdbrewer6638]

Love, love, love your videos! Great job Tony, thanks for introducing to other great creators. I laughed so much, can't wait to watch it again!

[@robertstephenson7864]

I was wondering why you had a keyway in the bearing until i found out your sweater had elbow patches. Now it all makes sense.

[@gravelydon7072]

You have to be careful though as some companies will send you clockwise one way bearings when you order counterclockwise ones. ;-)

[@3dprintedmarble568]

died when you said you've set the lathe to two... lol

[@SteveSummers]

Yes Tony, they do hand out channels to anyone ☺. Great video👍

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

Masterfully done! Also I couldn't help but laugh at the horrible jokes. I mean come on the drum roll one was too good.

[@willinwoods]

Ba-dum-ptsch-ception. I laughed so hard, I had to pause the video.

[@dimitar4y]

THEY'RE WONDERFULLY HORRIBLE SHUDDUP ilovethem

[@nathanrogers8713]

And don't forget the references to Shawshank Redemption!

[@lhpl]

There were numerous shanks redeemed in this video!

[@TrondBørgeKrokli]

Yeah, I must admit I laughed too, although no harder than being able to continue watching. The drum roll was so on point, kudos for that idea.

[@Beanpapac15]

So how long before you completely phase out your content in favor of reaction shots from other KZbinrs and your cat?

[@PaladinFury]

The assimilation has already begun.

[@Link3000XD]

defuq i jsut watched owo

[@bbgun061]

How big of a library of those shots do you have?

[@brokenacoustic]

AvE is sitting there thinking, where tf is my hand cameo?! lol

[@Chloepet]

Seeing Abom say "Hah hah!" and smiling was equal parts freakily scary, incredibly funny and worryingly uncontrived 😱🤣🤯

[@zzpazi]

So THAT's how you start a lathe

[@jodybrai]

Only if you don't have the keyway.

[@jimc3688]

Well it is an engine lathe

[@manfredschmalbach9023]

... start it like You gonna steal it.

[@teresashinkansen9402]

Something funny is. I had to deliver a work piece (a camera adapter for a telescope, next day we had the eclipse!) so i had to make it fast. My lathe has a centrifugal starter switch and the spring that makes contact broke, i didn't had time to get a replacement so i ended up removing the centrifugal switch and used a screwdriver to bridge the two wires, then i immediately removed the screwdriver as soon as i heard the lathe spool up to speed. A couple of times i was too slow and the motor made a frightening buzzing sound ( i do not recommend doing this unless is an emergency, also never do it if the lathe is too large or operates above 240V, doing this on a large lathe for example with a 440V motor would be very dangerous! it arcs very badly with 220V already). But job got done in time, later i was able to get a replacement starter, now im thinking in upgrading it to a VFD unit. So when he did that in the video i was laughing my ass off.

[@shaddec55]

Had a car I had to start that way...

[@azyfloof]

This took about forty minutes to watch on account of keep having to rewind to watch bits again cause I was laughing so hard! This is the perfect marriage of Wintergatan mystique and wonder with ToT's amazing wit. What a beautiful collab! I dearly hope you both do more videos together :D

[@bend1483]

I was not prepared for the Shawshank Redemption ending.

[@ytwdh]

I was hearing Morgan Freeman about two seconds into that segment.

[@Pangaron]

It was foreshadowed after all :P

[@myoman1977]

[@thirtyeight92]

Gotta love that Clickspring reference

[@rlhanks]

Well played my friend, Well played. As a fan of all the channels that played roles in this production, I have to say that this was one finely played out piece of entertainment. I must say that the way it is done from start to finish was excellent. Korny and entertaining, I'm not sure who the mastermind was on how the video was produced but it really is amazing that you just made a video of making two simple axle's into twenty minutes of entertainment. With the narration and the cameo's from some of the other KZbin players I found myself watching every bit more so than I can recall watching anything from the normal networks. Keep up the good work!

[@northernoutlook4899]

Yes ...losing your mind can be a beautiful thing! Keep losing it. It's great you put smiles on so many faces.

[@HubNut]

[@Covenant-R]

It's so great to see all these great entertainers and craftsmen collaborate in different ways, and I have no idea how I found some of you, but suddenly this becomes very meta after you consider various combinations of Wintergatan, This Old Tony, Alec Steele and Alex French Guy cooking... all channels I started watching independently from one another... just wondering what the next surprise will be....

[@PinataOblongata]

Gotta be AVE, unless his language is too salty...

[@manfredschmalbach9023]

He upgraded the shed recently I hear .... the moment he starts getting straight what his machine actually understands about salty cannuck, he might be of tremendous help for mixed insanities like marble- or noodle machines.

[@erickleinwolterink3524]

Could you imagine Chris V3.6 in the year 4072 talking about lathes XD "now the ancients didn't have quasar fusion coils to remove atomic particles to size, they used steel cutters and spun the materials past it , they were probably horribly inaccurate to withing a few thousandths of an inch, I've done my best to recreate what I think it might have looked like"
