Congratulations TOT glad to be a part of this video, but can you stop messing with the doll I slipped of the toilet this morning for no reason..........tony
apologies! had a stern talking with the cat... shouldn't happen again!
I LOLed out loud. :-)
Great Scott!
Come now Colin im sure you just forgot to buckle you toilets seat belt.
Colin - How do you tell your disembodied TOT hand from your AvE hand? Or are they in fact, the same?
Congratulations Tony, a real honor to be able to share it with you, thank you :)
thanks! and hey sorry about scratching your work. I'm sure it'll come right out with a little ginger ale?
Did he really engrave that message in his project?? That would be awesome!
Can't wait to see the finished antikthera with Tonys stamp on it. Bwahahaha!
Hey clickspring, that joke Tony did was funny. It had me laugh good. I watch all your videos, right now I'm trying to make the gyroscope project of yours.
Clickspring looks just like I pictured him.
Big congratulations!! 🔥🔥🔥
What's up Alec! It's great to see you here...as eva
Alec no way
Hi Alec
It took me 2 months and a rewatch, but seriously can we show some love for the Abom reflection in the spoon at 1:10. Bravo tony, bravo.
Holy crap 😲
How did you notice that!... and I was looking for hidden things. You are observant
And 15:30
@@hunterton4310 good catch!!! I didnt see that one.
Nice Easter egg!!!!!!!
Congratulations Brother!!! honored to be in such company!!! Thank you!!
jimmydiresta first of the dolls to comment?
@@mikezeke7041 ....and a New York Doll at that!! :-O
Bravo 👏👏👏 ! Genuinely happy for you !
Send him some of those nice Croissants you've been making!
Considering I found Alex via Tony it's pretty awesome to see you guys Colab. I hope to see more of it in the future.
Thanks for being a good sport, Alex FG Cooling! ;)
@@Lucassymons Thats interesting. I've been watching Mr. Pete for 5 years, but no other machining channels. I started watching Alex FGC some time ago, during the pasta phase :), and then there was the collab. I found Tony the opposite way you did. Collabs are definitely great for viewers to find quality content without having to work for it :)
@@ThisOldTony oh, right, THAT's why you think Alex's is a machining channel...
Congrats man. Love your channel :)
No u xx
Imagine Colin's pain if his doll was stabbed with a sword made from one of Jimmy D's ice picks.
No way Bobby Duke I love your channel
I now have an almost visceral need to see "First Date Kit" boxes 2 through 5.
My claps are increasing in speed.
Maybe one day you'll have a spot on ToT. I'd love to see you and Tony colab on some restoration.
Stop! YOU'LL GO BLIND!
It's not everyday Muhammad and his beard praises a video. Peace be upon you
Maybe one day you’ll actually learn how to restore something instead of exploring how much lead paint something has. You are on a level far below everyone else, my bearded northern neighbor.
After the first bout of claps you should've left her.
Ya beat me to 500k! And of course earned every subscriber! Here's to 500k more.
thanks!!
full disclosure: I re-coded your sub button to redirect here.
Both of you deserve every single subscriber you have earned.
You two are part of by far the best RUclips community out there.
I think we can all agree that Applied Science is the best, everybody knows it, Tony has to spends hours an hours applying humour and succeeds but Ben actually takes us into new territories. Congrats to both of you for persuading 500k nerds to click a button. )))))))
chalk up another victim. Be prepared for inane comments.
You still have all your fingers so I trust you.
Soon we see the 1 MILLION subs video. Abom and Tony meet up, having made go-karts for each other. It's a musical episode, their dogs/cats/bunnies frolic in the background. The Schaublin and Maho fight to be most-beloved friesmaschine, whilst Tony's family ride motorbikes through burning hoops - hoops made on a GIANT ring-roller. Harrison Ford arrives. "Hey kid, thanks for watchin' " he says, sharpening a drill bit. Nobody can use a sine bar. Tony won't let anyone leave until they can. A die-filer, visibly weeping far away, remembers the good old days. The word "subscribe" reflected in it's tears.
- Directed by David Lynch
OMG THE Tony hearted my comment! With his famous hands! I'll never wash there again...
So it looks like ToT picks up 1k subs/day. That means we're due to hit 1M around 6th April. Or 74 days in metric. In imperial that's only 398/48720nds of a cubit. Either way I'm having jelly and watching it.
I still remember the innocent boy you once were, before all this RUclips fame. Now it's all straight razors this, voodoo dolls that! The upper echelons of internet fame has all the perks! ;)
Hey!! You!! You should parner up with Wintergatan to create some WinterSatan. Don't get mad, get even! The man thinks he knows what winter is - well, demonstrate that winter...is...coming! Oh - and don't cut your finger and bleed everywhere, that was disturbing!
Congratulations... love your channel!
Oh shit. When can we get an LPL and TOT cross over?!
Love yours too LPL!
LPL, did you get your ramset gun from TOT?
How is it that every channel I watch also watches TOT?
Oh, right. It's because TOT is awesome. Sorry, brainfart.
How about a TOT, LPL, and Clickspring video? Not likely to happen though.
Hey, I know you probably won’t see this but I’m just an 18 year old kid, and your channel has really shown me how interesting and useful understanding these skills are, and you’ve also driven me to begin practicing and becoming at least at least able to properly use a caliper, and I really just wanted to say I’m really glad that you run your channel and I’m so happy that you’ve worked your way to half a million subscribers and I can’t wait to see where you go with this channel, if I could give more than just my views on your videos I would, but all I can really say is thank you and I really love your channel!
We hit a million! Congrats!
I've come to the conclusion that your editing program must have an "allow bad videos" setting that you've turned off. How else could one churn out videos week after week and never pump out a single flop?
Aging wheels is an awesome channel. Check out his Trabant & Saab, among many cars(:
I'm shocked at how many people I watch are here for this celebration.
He gets his italian mom to watch them before they go live.
Got my browser open for shopping while watching. All I can say is, you are not a cheap date.
Great vid Tony--funny too! I made a vid a few days ago (still unpublished) on Starrett tools. Covered a lot of similar topics. Almost looks like a copycat. Hope my viewers do not think I copied yours, lol.
mrpete222 👋
Starret tools athol mass. I used to drive by the factory everyday. Athol is a run down little town, but starret tools is the epitome of 19th century brick factory on the river.
@@A_Man_In_His_Van That is who made my calipers. Still have the inspection tag. :-) They've seen a lot of use over the years but have been well worth the money.
Show big respect to Mr Pete Tony! He could make you stand in a corner or put your nose in a chaulk circle!
Any thinking person alive (and possibly not so much) would know your videos are stoicly original!
Of course! Parallel pliers, that's what I've always needed.
Well deserved! Im sure you'll hit the cool million next week! Haha.
Sooon...
Your videos are the perfect combination of bad jokes, good jokes, and really interesting and dare I say sometimes FACTUAL machining. Not a machinist myself but doesn't stop me from enjoying your videos. Keep it up!
Congratulations on the 500K that’s awesome! I finally made it to 11K, it’s been a long road on RUclips but it’s been fun, as a creator it’s been nice to share ideas, builds, and encourage others to do the same.
You definitely deserve this many subs, I subscribed about a year and a half ago and really enjoyed your style. Keep up the great content. Ps I liked how you went about incorporating some other RUclips channels with this video! Take care
For what it's worth, I'm seeing this comment 2 years after you posted it, and you are at 124k subs at the time I'm writing this 😃 I can't fathom ever hitting even the 11k, so congrats on the huge leap up! 👊👍
@@SilverloafCustomRazors Thank you so much!
Haha I completely forgot about commenting on TOT channel 2 years ago, wow I guess my channel has grown a lot in the past two years!🙂 Thanks brother 👍
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
It says a lot about you as a person, that your 500.000 celebratory video is basically a plug of all your favourite youtubers, Mister Hand Channel!
Yours is by far my favourite channel, so I guess I'll have do read up on that there voodoo ...
Best youtube family around.
Family friendly, too.
MY digital calipers are also parallax free
Way to go Tony. 500K subscribers is quite an accomplishment. There is no doubt in my mind its just the beginning. Keep up the great work. I'll try to keep my channel small so you don't add to the Voodoo doll collection anytime soon.
Joe Pieczynski you have my other favourite channel joe, you 2 a probably RUclipss best machinists and come from completely different backgrounds tony being hobbyist and you being skilled/trade/professional (i don’t know what you Mercians call a tradey
@@theshauny we call them the money makers.
Dear Mr. Tony
You are slowly becoming one of my favorite RUclips hand models.
Love ,
Jawn
Same, ever since I noticed that AvE has had some cosmetic work done (I think it was when he trimmed his fingernails once.) :-D
My sincere congratulations This Old Tony. 500,000 subscribers couldn’t have happened to a more well deserving RUclips channel.
A joy to see this channel grow so big. Great job.
"...when they're old enough to be in knife fights, of course..." LOL! Congrats, Tony.
Congrats on the 500k + subscribers. Incredible feat! Great info and content with laughs for days especially with some of my favorite content creators featured.
When I started my education for manual machining, I also started watching your channel. you teached me things you can do on a lathe before my REAL teacher at school taught me those things. so basically every 2 weeks I would totally surprise the man of the new stuff i just learned over night! Like squaring a piece on the mill. cutting threads on the lathe etc. I was excused for the practical lessons and got my diploma in 9 months!
So I thank you for your amazing channel and Congratulations on the 500K !!!!! =D
There is only one thing I still want to learn.. How to time travel on my Mazak?
Same way you do it on a haas. Spindle speed is the year, and the atc keeps you from having any grandfather paradox issues. Note if you are time traveling on a Mori you have obviously payed to have your grandfather paradox unit removed so disregard the ATC and use it as a cup holder.
@@davidhyer3404 thanks!!! :D I'll try it yesterday!
Spikey CSA I only have a mini lathe, but can I at least go back a few seconds? It might prevent me from hitting the send button after typing in a dumb comment! 🙄
Tony, well earned. You're terrific. You're so good even my wife likes to watch sometimes. Pleasure being one of the 500k enlightened folks!
What a well-deserved milestone! Your videos have brought me so much enjoyment through some not-so-enjoyable times. Thanks for that, and keep up the wonderful work!
Oh, and can't get enough of the guest-stars!
Congratulations on 500K. I always enjoy your videos and they remain entertaining on multiple viewings - the details like Aboms face in the spoon is greatly appreciated :D
Funny, I just happen to have a pair of 8 in Mitutoyo vernier calipers sitting on my desk. They are quite nice, but mine has a different model number: 5U-B5SC-R-1BE
EFormance Engineering
Good one!!!!!
You got the one with a carbon fiber spoiler
That's cool !!!!
Seeing so many awesome people collaborate with ToT makes me feel better about watching his videos on break or the weekend and every night to help me fall asleep.
What? You don't?
I only watch this old tony at 2 am when I have trouble sleeping.
Congratulations, Tony. I've been watching and admiring your work after one of my customers turned me on to your channel, and you've given me some inspiration. Thank you and keep it up!
Keep your blades (yes, even disposables) immersed in mineral oil (the kind from a pharmacy) to make them last much, much longer (like 5x or more). They dull because they oxidize, not because your Superman beard hair can dull steel.
Congrats Tony!
I began doing that a few years ago. Really helps. Also got me to stop using shaving cream, turns out when your blades are lubricated really well, all you need is a little soap and water after shaving.
Congrats tony, well deserved. Since were celebrating your subscribers, i think its also a nice time to say you got lucky with the kind of people who subbed. In all your comment sections its basicly people joking back at you and enjoying your videos peacefully. Kudos to you and them.
18:53 I thought that a Dollar Shave Club sponsor spot was coming. If that was the intention well done sir. But most important congratulations on the 500k. I'm new to the channel but I must have watched about 20 of your videos in the last couple of days. Keep up the good work.
I love the way when you tell a crap joke you cut the end short. Genius!
You are awesome. my father was a scraper hand in the Detroit area for over 50 years. I grew up around Machines and shops. I Worked for A German Tool Maker For 15 Years And Started My Own Job Shop In 1990. Just When You Think You Have Seen Everything You Come Across This Old Tony. Knowledge-Expertise-Humor. What More Could You Ask For. This Is The Best Machine Shop Channel .
"where's your safety tie now Colin?" 😂😂😂
You're a very strange person. I admire that
Naaaa..he is Italian..and strange like DeVinci
@@jaxxbrat2634 What? He's Italian? Any source?
What is it they say, birds of a feather........ ! 😊
Congrats. Really giggled when you showed your optivisor as I had to raise mine to look up at the screen. Great videos. Great craftsmanship. Thank you.
Watching your videos is always a blast.
Top knot craftsmanship and excellent video editing
That parallel plier is something I've wanted for a long time but didn't know existed, thanks 😀
I love Adam's cameo's
I always get a smile when I hear/see him in TOTs videos. Really wish these guys would collab on a machining project.
I feel like they are the Batman/Joker of the Machinists-YouTouber. Completely different but exactly the same.
i've got enough desiccant, ok
Your intros are always great haha you always start strong and get me smiling in the first 3 seconds, here's to 500,000 more!
Congratulations ! Been following you for a few years. Your content is getting better and better. Keep up the great work! Greetings from Belgium
subbed in about 400 and here you are years later still knocking them outa the park go Tony
always love the ABOM cameos :)
So, you can shave and get your daily supply of layout fluid at the same time? Brilliant!
Clickspring
Just watched that Clickspring video.
META!
I'm jealous, I didn't even think about the "LAYOUT FLUID," which unfortunately only comes in RED. But then again, I'm 65 yr's old, and have shaved only 5 (five) times in my life. Never could embrace the daily self sacrifice every morning, 5 (five) times was more than enough.
@@stanwooddave9758 Are you in a ZZ Top Cover Band?
Found your channel recently (past two weeks) and already, when my wife hears your voice coming from the laptop, or desktop or my phone she is already rolling her eyes. Great Videos, Thank you!
Very entertaining. Congratulations! It’s been a lot of fun watching you on the way to 500K. Onward to a million!
It couldn't have happened to a better channel. Been with you since well before 50k, and I'll see it to the end, sometime in about 2598 AD. Thanks For the laughs, the knowledge, and most of all, the facepalms.
Caffienated Chaos yeah I wish I could invest/gamble on RUclips subscriber stock. I would be rich. Been here for a long time. Seen a lot of growth. All good on this channel.
Congrats!!! You definitely deserve it!!! One of my favorite things??? Your channel... at 1st it was because of all the knowledge you drop, but then the more i started learning about making videos for youtube, I really started to appreciate your editing skills and ingenuity... Have a great day, take it easy... (I bought one of those Mitutoyo dial indicators & thought it was broken, then finally saw the switch)
Yes his youtube skills are next level A+ . He's an ok engineer too.
I like that a lot of channels have references to ToT editing.
I found your channel whilst trying to figure out how to make a go kart frame and love everything you do, and I don't really understand everything you make (I'm a wood guy 😎, not really metal see my channel) but you make it sound so interesting it's fun to watch!!! Congratulations on 500k Mr old Tony, you deserve every one of them!
Interesting. I came across TOT by looking for the very same thing - go kart builds.
I decided at 17, after going on a field trip to a local tradeschool to be a machinist. The tipping point was an aluminum light bulb. I remember thinking, "I want to learn how to make that." I love your videos and still find myself rewatching old videos years later. Thank you for the amazing content.
That’s what happens Tony !!! When you produce this quality of videos. Great work man you deserve it
Nice to be an early, mid- to low-5-digit subscriber. Not to brag or anything, but I’ve been subscribed long enough to remember the drill press video, the shop press build video, and to know to ask “How’s that surface gauge build coming along?”
where have they gone to by the way? Loved the drill press video :(
Man, I was trying to find those videos and other than the Capco caper they are all gone!
Edit: He deleted the first subscriber special where he did the face reveal too! I knew he was a secret agent
I know I watched all of the videos up to the surface grinder videos (I was rebuilding one at the same time), imagine my shame when weeks later I found out that Tony was not only dropping knowledge but redefining the game. Needless to say, I subscribed a bit late but I was there from early on, +This Old Tony, I owe you an apology for being noncommittal initially. We'll be here long past the surface gage build, I'm sure (unless of course if that invokes a time paradox).
@@jojoposter Yeah I wanted to actually go back and watch it carefully for hints on fixing MY cheap drill press and it's gone :-(
@@mikedrop4421 I don't think he did delete it, you can see tony's beautiful hairy phizog in the video titled "Stress, Strain & DIY Tool Holder" - the 100k special!
I love these videos, definately one of the best creators on RUclips at the moment. You dont even need to like machining or metal work to enjoy a T.O.T. video. Congratulations on 500K.
WOW, well done, i have learned so much from all of these people, great thanks to you Tony for making this video and thanks to all the people in it!
i just keep coming here because of your nails.
i love your videos!
Tony, you have helped rekindle an interest in making things I've had my whole life with your content. I've been here since about 40k and let's just say you've influenced where I've taken my life past high school.
Keep it up - you're awesome.
Voodoo is not when you stick the tail on the neck of an Ox, or when you go about doing crazy stuff with someone's hand. Voodoo is when you watch all your favourite RUclipsrs comment on one of the best machinist RUclipsr channel. Love the collab, love your videos Tony, and love this 500K celebration. Congratulations.
Congrats!!! Been watching since the CNC build. Learning a lot along the way.
Just found this channel a day ago and im loving it so far. I look forward to future content.
Don't cheat yourself out of yesteryears content. it rocks :-)
Agreed - be sure to go back through all the prior videos. You won't be disappointed.
Public service announcement #1: do not handle a razor blade like this (19:06)
Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming.
I too was a bit scared seeing him holding that razor like that.
Clearly ToT’s skin is as impenetrable as his mythical stubble.
Its okay to handle them that way, just don't sneeze.
That is the robotic hand that runs liquid nitrogen as we saw in the water cooler video.
Calluses! That's part of being a manly man who uses real razors!
I became a big fan of you're videos and by watching them over and over again keep discovering new things in them that are so funny and amazing. Can't understand how can anyone give you thumb down. Thank you for making them this good and amusing. Big support from Croatia.
Congrats mate, im new to you channel but as a 1st year mechanical engineer, i find your videos quite entertaining and full of information that i use day to day
Congratulations Tony! I am so happy you do not have a Skully Voodoo doll, I make enough mistakes already.
Maybe he wore it out already and the replacement was not finished in time for the video ^.^
I resolved my own analog vs. digital caliper debate while driving to the store at 2am to find an obscure replacement battery so I could finish my project.
Congrats on the 500K subs!
@Mr. Morningstar If I can't throw AAs at it or plug it in, I pass.
LR44 is literally the most common button cell out there. If you need it working in a pinch, you can even "recharge" them with a normal battery charger and some tinfoil.
Saw the notification yesterday night, paused the video until today's morning coffee... was well worth the wait! Also, satisfying to see that 95,3% of your plug-in RUclips channels happen to be in my subscription (thanks for getting Alex French guy there as well!) Keep up the good work, all the others can keep up the bad ones...
Mate that was Great..
I got the notification when I was at work so couldn't watch it, and just finished and the first thing is to get here ASAP.
Awesome as always.
7:37 Cant imagine Abom ever complaining about a mill being somewhere...
"Hey why is there a mill in this operating room. Abom- noice!"
How have I NEVER KNOWN about PARALLEL PLIERS!!!! 😮😫 Now.... Off to buy some parallel pliers...
+1 for straight razors and safety razors for backup! Love the video.
Lookup the Knipex Pliers Wrench. Expensive but worth it.
I'm off to make some - bigger is better!
I'm with Tony, they're one of my favorite tools - but mine have a V groove longitudinally down one jaw, which for me is partly what makes the tool so useful.
The Knipex option is sweet but intended for a very different situation - crudely speaking, it's more crescent wrench than plier, an extension of your arm rather than of your hand.
Love your content Tony! Your dry humor always gets me chuckling and I learn more about life's important facts and skills from you than I have in 7 years of college.
The best informative/educational comedy I've ever seen. Love the interaction with Colin & Tom! I can imagine you guys in a pub together...
The thought of Adam Booth waiting tables brought tears to my eyes... tears of laughter. :-)
Bellissimo Tony, bel video e congratulazioni per il risultato: te lo meriti. I cameo degli altri youtuber sono fantastici e mi immagino il ghigno di Adam mentre recitava...un grande!
Congratulations Tony, It's a funny pleasure to watch your channel and learn useful things. Keep doing this, it is working. Greeting from Bulgaria!
Frank, if you check these comments, Here's 2 for you. Retired Toolmaker, apprenticed in '67 still tinkering with mini shop in my condo basement. I understand the sentiment with the verniers, but now I find the easiest measuring is with the digital calipers. The 4" is more handy than the 6", and they go for $9.99 on sale at (china) Harbor Freight. I have several laying around my shop.. Also if you can find one, the Gladwin indicator is the easiest, fastest way to find the center of a hole, as it reads on both sides as you spin it. They don't make them anymore, but they still pop up on the internet occasionally. Worth their weight in gold.
Who else was waiting for the AvE doll. :(
I was
Would have been a very different ending, likely involving a vise...
@@catfish684 Matthias is bigger than AvE, though
AvE got a pass as soon as he took on that CNC machine, a man can only take so much punishment!!
I would note the absence of a Stephan G. dolly.
Big congratulation!
Youre worth watching every minute, and from time to time i even learn things!
Ulrik Kaul 👀
Congratulations mr Tony it has been an absolute joy to see your vids and see you grow on youtube may you have many more!!!
Seriously handy information and great camera work/editing. Thanks Tony.
I nearly died laughing when I saw Abom's face appear in the spoon. I just love your attention to detail, Tony. Congrats to 500k!
.rzr Damn, I missed that the first time watching this and had to rewind just to confirm.
there is no spoon
Congratulations TOT. The humor is a great lead in, the content superb, and the viewership, well bud, deserved. Again, congratulations
Congratulations TOT, huge thanks for your content that has both made me laugh and taught me so much. Also for introducing me to a number of great youtube channels like Clickspring and Alex FGC. Here's to another 500k (and hopefully an actual bottle of champagne)! : )
One of my favorite "jokes" (Funny situations?) Is somebody yelling off screen.
I absolutely love the combination of your classic humor with Adam's colorful reactions!
Also a shout-out to all the other great creators stopping by!
Big thanks to the cameos who help make TOT's videos an unexpected belly laugh. P.S., can anyone send me the address of Abom79's restaurant? I hear the food is killer but the wait staff can be a bit gruff. My milling machine is a registered emotional support device thank you very much.
Thank you for your videos, you managed to pass me the machining bug. Now I'm trying to find it and kill it but no luck so far. Keep it coming Tony.
Congrats. This old tony. Just wanted to tell you that your channel is awesome. Between the way you teach and a tad bit of your comedy, you make learning a lot easier. Thanks.
Congratulations on 500k. Love the humor in them and the way the subject matter is brought, in a simple way that complex topics are understandable. Like einstein said, " if you can't explain it simply, you don't understand yourself ", or something closed to that..
"Quantum leaps to the 4th dimension" Lmao! Just think how many nuts, bolts, and screws are living in THAT place!
not to mention the springs
Ooh i forgot about that place
i'm pretty sure the spring and a few nylon pieces of my tape decks are just out there floating around
Plus they keep the socks lost in the dryer company
I'm fairly certain that's where every E-clip I've ever touched currently resides...
@@Ian_Wallace. Hahaha! Yep! The only E-clips I've ever seen, were either already installed, or new in the package. Take one off and......POOF! Gone for good.
I also love those safety razors! I get a perfect shave and the blades just cost 10cents a piece vs 3,3€ for Gillette.
Good to spend the extra cash for a heavier, better handle, IMO. Especially if you tend to shake or twitch. Feather blades are the best. Also, if you get razor bumps the disposables with 5+ blades in them seem to make it worse, just one good pass with safety razor is better.
Gillette can go pound sand. ToT is no soyboy!!!
TOT, brother you are as hilarious as you are informative and entertaining . Almost pastout from laughing especially with the voodoo cameo appearances. Congratulations on 500,000 subs. Keep up the great work. Will be eagerly awaiting the next video. Got to go buy more tools now. Can never have too many.
Totally true about straight razor shaving. The learning curve is precipitous but after a few attempts it is very satisfying to stand in a steamy bathroom with a glass of Knob Creek Kentucky Bourbon and a shaving mug and brush. Here is a tip: unless you are a just post-pubescent young man learning to shave what amount to little more than the soft down of a ripe peach (I.e., if you’re not 12 yo) shave with your normal razor first, then use the straightedge. The stubble your 4-blade disposable leaves behind is more than enough for you to learn to remove. And you will need stiptic to staunch the inevitable nicks. It’s easy to find in the pet store for people who trim their dog’s nails too short. Love the video. ToT, finest kind.
