@@zygmuntthecacaokakistocrat6589 James may had students build the bridge and spitfire replica for him. he cant take full credit. as far as i know he just had the idea and put the plan into action but made everyone else do the work. I still enjoy watching James May but he isn't a TOT competitor.
Tony, thank you for the videos. I would like to get involved in building a small hobby machine shop with both the mill and lathe. Would you have any suggestions of something affordable? I'd really like a Bridgeport, but it's not in this cards right now. Thank you.
Googled it up cuz I have no clue and the first result was “Never Mind The Buzzcocks,” a British game show: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Never_Mind_the_Buzzcocks
Just some minor tips for using cold blue. Make sure the part is as de-greased as possible, solvents like acetone work well and evaporate fast. And to get the best possible finish, warm it up until it's uncomfortable to touch, but it doesn't need to be any hotter. Blue the part. That's it. It will give far better results.
@@facundolencina2528 Hola Facundo, creo que a lo que él se refiere es a un pavonado en frío, como el que se utiliza en las armas y algunas herramientas para dejar el hierro negro (una cobertura para que no se oxide)
Oh thank heavens. TOT archive videos and repeats. Which means there is something GOOD to watch on RUclips. Time to sit back, relax, have a few laughs and learns a few things.
Mind = Blown: How simple This Old Tony makes these projects look. I've been watching him for over a year now. Keeps me entertained and I learn something!
Tony, I'm not a machinist (have some lathe training, but not much practice) but after watching this video (and when the need came) I've made a drawbar too! There is this small press drill / milling machine at work. The guys were using a stock threaded rod with some nuts to simulate the drawbar since the original had the threads stripped. You can't imagine how that annoyed me. I took matters into my hands and made one! Thanks for the video. Keep them coming! ;-)
Your videos are some of my favorites...honest. The combination of professional quality video skills, coupled with your obvious knowledge of machining is apparent. But, adding a light hearted touch and teaching me things with out saying one word is really impressive. Thank you very much.
@barkebaat Just like shaping wood except the glue(welding) is stronger and when you cut it (metal) short you can make it bigger again. Wood? You just burn it and make the part over. Done both, wood and metal. Still trying to decide which one is the more satisfying. Both materials are as expensive as each other now days.
I've never done any lathe work with metal or wood, and have limiting steelworking experience, but I know experience when I see it! Beautiful piece you built, and it's good to see you built something with a tool- for that tool! Self sufficiency at its best.
32 years ago I collected a diploma of machinist from my technical school. Never worked as. Now I start to regret. :) I like some of Your tools esp. this hex holder for cutting bolt head. In our school workshops we have been using a divider, which was big and tricky for a boy I was. And of course THE SAW :D U made my day. Thanks.
Fantastic work Tony as always ! Nice change of style to the lay-back-and-enjoy format. Gives Stefan and Keith the night off . . . Next project for you Tony - little fixture to lightly hold the punches in a row so that the letters are straight and level (7:16).
Very nicely done Sir, thank you for sharing, as a novice hobby machinist it is amazing to watch what can be done. First time I have seen that collet holder being used.
I need to make a draw-bar for my Benchmaster Tools mill. so I'm going to give this a shot. Also, I'm listening to lo-fi hip hop while watching this is like a sound track. it's making my day better.
very crisp video as usual but... especially useful for me because I've just bought a 1930s Huré mill here in France and it does not seem to have a drawbar... Now I know how straightforward it is to make one (sort of). Thanks for the inspiration. I would have never bought that mill without your videos, making me feel (for no real reason) that I needed such a machine. My wife may think i'm nuts, but I won't regret it... Keep on trucking ! (from France)
I know, it's now 4 yrs later. I can't help that now and have to say; Watching this is hypnotic, especially with no talking, like being there doing it yourself, Thanks Tony, love your vids, well, 99.9999% of them 🤓.
Colchester Student used these when I was a school kid used to be made in my nearby town . I have a Boxford another great British classic but built in 1948 but has done very little work and only brass and wood turning . Beds like new . Nice touch to show different thread .
Really liked the flavour of the lighting on the opening shots of this vid, now if I could only figure out how to smuggle a machine shop up 2 dozen floors into my appartment.
Brings back memories from my apprenticeship as a fitter back in '93-'96 (in Denmark). My very first job at the lathe/mill was to fabricate some soft claws for the vice of an automated drill elsewere in the factory. And the CEO stood at the end of the lathe and watched me work for a couple of minutes. Man, was I nervous!
These 503 seconds made me smile - then grin - and then I realized, that this is more connectable than anything on TV. Finally made me follow through on what I've been wanting to do for a long time: get rid of the damn thing. It's on ebay right now! Too bad I can't exchange it for a lathe or mill of my own. And there's no shop in town that offers people to use such machines on their own. Darn.
I’m Really impressed. I was wondering how boring a making drawbar would be, but I was mistaken. I love the methodology of making the bolt head, wow. The blueing was also a nice touch. I was going to make a simple drawbar by using threaded rod and welding a nut on one end but now I think the method in the video is far better.
One thing I like about your video's besides the obvious of edjabacating me on all things machining, is that your having as much fun producing by creative editing your video's as you are machining!
I'm design engineer of worldwide brand precise metalworking CNC machines and for me this work with oldschool turning machine looks like stunning mechanical magic. Mesmerizing. Oh yeah, and plasma saw is super cool :)
At first I thought this was going to be a David Richard channel pastiche and was expecting some steam with the musical introduction. Anyway, what a fantastic video and amazing channel you have. Thanks for taking time to demonstrate so many of your technical skills and varied video production styles. What an inspiration!
I have absolutely no idea what's going on here, as I watch it for the first time; but I'm fascinated by it nonetheless - it reminds me of metal shop back in High School;... so cool!
I always tell myself I have time to watch one of your vids, then I watch like 3 or 4...Great Job on them, and thank you for spending time to make them and share, I would said your in the top ten I like for learning things. Keep up the good work.
u still teach me new stuff, i have just got my 1st mini lathe and made a mill? out of a Dremel drill press with a cross slide left right forwards backwards, with out people like you all i would have is my books { they r good } but learning by watching is cool thanks
Nice. I went to the trouble (fun) of bar with both ends threaded. A bronze ball head nut and a Delrin thrust washer. Been a while - I think the end fit the lathe with a machine end (cylinder) and it up against the thrust washer and nut. For my ER40's on my lathe and another on my mill. Did both ~20 years ago. 2020 now.
can you do a series on lathe operating. I would love to learn even the basics, you could call it:"getting Lathed".
That's a perfect idea!! And also hilarious.😂
AvE says he seconds this idea
Hella turnt
Turned out.....
"Lathed out"
near 3 years later, still waiting on that drawbridge.

Hi. What is the "cold blue"? I want to "get black" some tools of mine & i need to know. Greetings from Argentina.
@@facundolencina2528 google, "cold blue" or "selenium dioxide" "gun blue"
but its not cold blue if you use heat... i do agree with the instructions though.

I have the 2018 version of this lathe and it does Metric, Neutral, English, Spanish and Chinese.

Nice job. Good thing you leveled your lathe first. You probably couldn't sleep at night knowing your drawbar has a .002" taper. Much better this way.
haha
That's quite a story with no words. Nice and clean and smart notch to make no mistake. I like it
Thanks Gerrit.. with my luck I'll grab the right drawbar now.. and the wrong tool holder.
Most underrated "making stuff" channel on youtube.
I'm a woodworker. I don't even know what a drawbar is, but I still liked the video. Shaping metal is magic as far as I'm concerned
.

I really like the parting tool effect on the hex nut! A slight notch makes it look really pro...
Never used a mill in my life- still quite mesmerizing.
Tony not only are you a craftsman but an entertainer too. Keep doing the good work buddy.
It's like ASMR videos but actually relaxing and watching it gives you pleasure

I could watch this kind of movies all day ;) Make some more, Tony!
It's the engineers' version of those videos they make for cats to watch.

This is what I do, every day, at work. Yet for some reason I like watching other guy's machining videos. Fun. Nice work!
I love the occasional unexpected laser effects. It always makes me laugh! :)
That machine is beautiful. The projects you make are another reason why I'd like a mill.

awesome job Tony, this video has that middle of the night machining feel, it makes me feel all cosy just watching it!
Finally! A project I think I could handle. I was able to follow without getting lost. Thank you for all these videos.
I'm truly impressed with so much craftsmanship. Congrats
Thank you Tony for your videos.
Very interesting and also witty.
Always good to see the old Energon saw getting some use. I’m sure Optimus is pleased.
I have no idea why you build that, or what makes it better than the old one, but I loved watching you build it.
Ovidiu-Florin BOGDAN nmtb has a different thread pitch (SAE / US Imperial) than the ISO drawbar (metric). See the leveling a lathe video.
Have no idea why this came up in my feed, nor do I know what you're doing, but where was fun to see someone do fancy things!
you do very nice work my brother. always a joy watching your videos......even when they arent filled with your special brand of humor.
That was the best thing I ever sawr. Now I need to magically become a machinist.
Making tools and accessories for other tools is one of my favorite kind of projects. Nice build!
I can't believe it's been over a year ago me and TOT were hanging out in shop making this draw bar. Good times! Rewatch;-)

I'm really looking forward to that drawbridge of yours. Should be a really nice security feature to add to the garage. =D
No idea what a drawbar is, but your vidz simply rock! Big fan all the way from the middle east!
