In all seriousness you should make videos for trade schools.
The work you put into these videos to be informative in the clearest possible way and their comedic timing comes across as effortless.
That is a testament to how good you are at it.
C'MON MAN!! Why would he want to do that?? He has it nice and easy, making flower stands, out of precious metal, and big piles of chips out of small piles of whole metal!!
Also, you could make videos about how to make videos.
He does kinda. Awhile back I asked a buddy currently in machining school how many ToT videos he'd watched. He said his first one was the day before, shown to him in class by his instructor.

Tell 'em to Pay Up!
:-)
With the good jokes in editing, i would be glued to them in school
The way you keep coming up with visual jokes is absolutely amazing.
Did anyone find the 'subscribe' ?
Cool test signal pattern pp
That's one of the best tutorials on vernier scales I've ever seen - and I've seen a lot of them (I teach that stuff).
LateralThinkerer weird to think people dont know that, i had them growing up and learned that at home
Agreed, this video is the reason I know how to read vernier scales.
Add this to the curriculum
I love Verniers. The concept is just so cool. I generally won't have a dial or electronic one because of this, though there's a cool tear-down vid showing why the electronic calipers are _in fact_ actually Vernier (internally).
I've used a vernier caliper for years....its flown around the workshop a few times (butter fingers) and I don't trust its accuracy. Cue Mitutoyo 12" unused gift. Back in action....I just wish my sight was better!
As a non-precision 3d-printing sort of guy with a lazy set of digital calipers, verniers had always been a mystery to me - but now I have been educated. Thanks, STFU!
I have some here that I have no idea how to use. It's in 1/1000" and 1/20mm and not marked in inches, either. It's odd, to say the least.
Edit: OK maybe it is in inches lol. I just didn't know how to read them. Thanks, Tony!
There is digital and analog calipers?
learned that at the age of eight, its great to help your dad building stuff as a kid ;P
@@n1663rdigital, vernier, and dial calipers exist. I prefer digital for speed, vernier for accuracy and dial for mix between them.
Get a CAD package that supports background imaging for a quick dimensional ipiphany.
I watched old cartoons so i know that ICBM nose cones use ACME threads
My mother-in-law has titanium knee joint replacements. But she didn’t make them herself, despite all the potential cost savings.
I had a comp sci teacher in high school whose former occupation was designing ICBM nose cones. They actually do use ACME threads.
Earth shattering KABOOM surely ;)
Of course Acme threads, was not the manufacturer the ACME rocket company?
I honestly much appreciate the vernier calipers reading guide, thanks TOT!
As someone who had to figure out how to read Vernier calipers on his own, this video showcases it in such a straightforward and easy way it seems like nothing, if all you have is a set of calipers and a part, it takes some time to figure out why all those lines don't match up.
He did do a great job explaining how to read them. Kept it as simple as they really are.
I forwarded this to my college teacher. This may get shown to several years worth of students, in one of the top schools for machining, in the state.
I have to admit, I've owned and used one of those for a long time, never paid attention to the second measurement. This just blew my mind, this changes everything.... or rather this changes nothing because I've never needed this much precision but this is still awesome to know just in case.
The sheer amount of jokes and education packed into your movies is astounding! Thanks for all the hard work you do!
This Old Tony I've been sanding on my high speed steel since you released this video and I'm happy to report the cutting tool is finally done.
I stopped turning something at work to watch this in the bathrooms
But was it titanium?
@@inund8 6al4v
I guess no one said anything about a near 20 minute bathroom break.
If you get any complaints, just tell HR that you have put yourself through some extra training, and that you needed to go and refer to 'STFUs Tele-correspondence remote training's tape 21 before completing the job. You've just gone from slacking off to being a go-getter. Now just sit back and wait for the promotion 😉👍
@@aviationic8145 it's a big place thankfully!
Hi Tony, hint from across the pond (UK) ..if you get a hard spot in a drill hole in any material and just want to remove it without having to buy a carbide drill or chance ruining one, then use a cheap masonary bit. Just grind the edge as a normal drill on a green wheel BUT also grind the flute face flat (so it presents an almost square edge to the work) this makes the cutting edge incredibly strong and robust. Once youve cleared the hard spot you can return to normal drills again. I always keep a good selection of masonary drills in the workshop for this purpose as its quick and saves a fortune :)
If I ever get stranded in the wilderness, I am going to use T O T instead of S O S.
Tot in German means dead , hehe
I assume it is because you ran out of gas, and he will rescue you just as soon as he gets done fabricating a Jerry can.
T-Riffic TOTi. Outstanding graphics on the Vernier class and the Retro was spot on with the all the aliasing and color work. Brilliant and no fires! Better and better Mr. T! Thanks for all that work and fun....only one abnormal espresso aspiration from the tool room guy, but a good cough with it. ;-P
I watched these videos religiously even have a ritual for it even though I never thought I'd ever touch a lathe...until I did. I now work at a powdered metal place and I owe that decision a lot to ThisOldTony channel for making those machines now look less scary and less intimidating.
Thats how a youtube education is supposed to work. Congratulations man. I'm a qualified machinist who watches these videos to remember all the little tips and tricks on jobs that only pop up once a year or so. When I say remember, it's quite often learning for the first time.
Way to go Dave. There is sooo much to learn and the joy of it is you will never stop finding new things to do, see, learn.
Welcome to the fraternity.
Now THAT is one for Tony to hang on the wall!
I love machining titanium! And please stop overwriting those rental VHS.
I was impressed by your video showing you machining various small screws from titanium.
I miss VHS. ah the 90"s.
What is this VHS that you speak of?
Beta was the way to go...
@@TrailRat2000 VHS = Very High Speed.... Loads better than HSS :)
"That one's pretty"
That was hilarious
The drill bit in the tailstock to catch the parted pieces is genius.
Holy cow, I just learned how to use calipers. (not sarcastic)
@Shambles1980TRealOne I've been a pro this whole time!??! :)
@@jasonstahl73 lol! Well done!
Or do as I do and use digital ones when no one is looking then get out a tape measure and say that’s *** and surprise every one with how accurate I am with a crappy 20year old Stanley 30meter tape.
Jason Stahl yeah, and next level pros even use them to scratch mark the workpieces and save lots of time 😉👍
Me too, but I just forgot.
"The shop foreman will already have reamed your bung."
Don't threaten me with a good time.
@ mereth: lol, he said as safe spaces filled up everywhere!
Totally lost my shit, brill
@@pauldunkley494 Of course you did. Your bung was reamed.
Had to rewind twice to be sure I heard what I thought I heard lol (imma on phone don't have computer cuz I was homeless 3 years in my car and now Im not)
@अल्ली X well a bung hole is slang for a bum so yeah he kinda did
"12 of those thready things"
I sure wish you would cut down on the technical terms, my edumacation didn't cover this
..He did not include the required DEPTH of the threads. Is there a standard depth for 12 TPI ? it would of been nice if he had mentioned it.
@@DNulrammah while my comment was a joke about tots joke, the answer to your question is yes.
No, I am not trying to be a jerk. Please read...
I have not watched the video in a year and only vaguely remember the subject matter of said video, but I can give you some answers on this.
The depth of the cut is wholly dependent on....
1. the diameter of the part
2. the type/profile of the thread pattern
3. the material being used
This is not the exact answer you were looking for, but there is an engineering specification manual that's constantly referred to by tot that can provide you the information needed.
Also, quite often tot flashes the page of specifications he is using from that manual. It's quick and easily missed but often it is there.
Hope this helps somewhat.
There is also a separate video(s) on cutting threads.
This comment coming to you on 1/17/2020. I came back to re-learn how to read a caliper. I've looked everywhere, but this video set the standard for how I can learn it.
And I completely am writing this comment in the tone of voice used in the video. Amazing.
I’m going to be very upset if we don’t get a “building your own surface gauge” video...
Surface gauge or RIOT!
"Meatball and her Kittens Build A Surface Gauge!"
yeah those are the kinds of declarations that need to happen
Yes that video has been a long time coming.
We are still waiting on that Eminem song "My Salsa"
It is actually VERY easy to anodize TiAl6V4 properly. All you need is a bench power supply going up to approximately 60V DC and you can just use Coke as an Electrolyte because it contains phosphoric acid. Hang a strip of stainless steel or even titanium into a container filled with Coke and your titanium workpiece too. Connect the strip of metal to the negative terminal of your power supply and the workpiece to the positive. Apply around 30V for a nice blue finish, a little less will result in a nice golden finish. (Don't drink the Coke afterwards because it now contains dangerous stuff!). Also, if you need bigger titanium cutoffs, just send me an address where to ship them😉. Greetings from Germany
If you're just sending out titanium cutoffs...... :)
Your comedy always makes me forget about my long day. Thanks Tony.
I love this guy's modesty and sense of humour..... it tells me the frustrating limits I've come up against in the workshop are happening to other guys, too.

One part "H" Two parts"S"..........That was brilliant! Now to find something to clean tea of my monitor!
Keep up the good work!
Man, that shit gave me life.
I know why I usually don't eat and/or drink while watching TOT videos...^^
Yeah I lost it too 😂
What does tea of monitor taste like? ;) jk
That part had me laughing as well!
I once gave my cat a juice shower while he was chilling right besides me. He stays away from me when he hears TOT's voice ever since.
Upon closer _closer_ inspection...
Upon closer _closer_ *_closer_* inspection...
_continues on until vernier scale is in planck lengths_
Just call it a 'very near scale' like in the 70's or let it slide and jump to digital physics...
I know this is old and I’m watching it again… but I’ve always loved when you cut off a line early and never address it. It’s hilarious and one of those small touches that’s kept me coming back for years.
'If you've watched enough looney tunes, you'll know that ICBM nosecones are screwed on too' 🤣🤣
Step one. Swap out the titanium for aluminum when nobody is looking.
Or he could have just sent Ti-3Al-2.5V
hahahaha
OK, so the combination of the actual usefulness of the content (100 out of 100) and the quality of the stand-up (or sit-down) comedy that content comes packaged in is out of this world. Huge respect!
I always bring enthusiasm to my projects! working on bringing skills next
"In the interest of saving time, the shop foreman has already reamed your bung."
OMG, I'm dying laughing...
There is nothing funny about saving time!
Damn man! I spit my coffee across the room with that Abom job shop cutoffs picture. No thanks for that memory😏
Yeah... and i can't UNsee that either!
This is by far one of the most entertaining videos on the whole of RUclips. Seriously, I've watched it 3 times now and it cracks me up every time.
Before I started watching your videos I knew next to nada about the basic principles of machining. I've learned so much about a subject that I never knew I was interested in. So, thank you?
"It's a gas cap, for crying out loud, not an ICBM nosecone." *snort*
I accidentally mailed back the WRONG TAPE!! DO NOT OPEN IT!! I know it will say Lord of the Rings but it's not what you think!!!

Great episode
@@gamemeister27 I heard it makes Crotch Capers 3 look like Naughty Nurses 2
This episode was so good that I got my calipers to understand them and got a feeling of immersion, suddenly I was measuring the same cap that ToT was holding in his hands!
How did I not know about this guy???? shop videos edited to hilarity?
I didn't know how much I needed this is my life.
I’m only 16 years old I’ve been watching your videos non stop man I could watch this stuff for days you just have this way of explaining this so much better than other videos and other creators
Loved the 70's graphics with the tracking issues.
'70's? I took a video based chemistry class in 2000...that looked exactly like this. Yes, it was on VHS tapes.
VHS wasn't popular til the 80s
I'm not a machinist, but I love the editing style, the wit of your narration and the precision that goes into these things. Nice work.
I’ve always found titanium pretty nice to machine. It’s also a volatile metal. If you have very thin, stringy chips you can light it on fire with a lighter. Has a very bright white flame.
Me thinks you're referring to another 'ium' metal, Magnesium...
@@GFTP100 Titanium is combustible and has a silver-white flame color.
“In the comfort of your own bathroom”, literally gold.
I thought I was the only one who had that picture of Abom... :-D :-D
Some of us paid plenty for that photo. I got mine signed!
He's really slimming down these days. :-)
It was in his calendar for the month of June to coincide with some kind of pride month.
Hahaha
He better be a good friend. I've seen that big wrench on his warning sign.
Absolutely brilliant! One part H and two parts S!! Technically fascinating and comedically amazing!
I watched this video around the time it came out a few years ago and the “job shop cutoffs” joke has stuck with me ever since. Absolute gold. 👏
OMG...this is the best yet video from TOT....I laughed till I cried..your editing skills are just as amazing as your millwork/lathework is!!!!! 10/10!!!!!
Loved the 60s vintage army training film look. It was like being transported to 1971, living in fear that Drill Sergeant Smith would play a "joke" on us again by lobbing a tear gas grenade at us as we stood in formation. Good times!
Those retro bits reminded me of a couple shop films(it was on Betamax I think)...
One was how doctors will use a magnet to remove metal bits from your eyeball.
The other was table saw safety showing what happens when a 2x2 is being ripped and is launched into and through your torso.
Ahhh, Shop Class
In the comfort of your own home,and the privacy of your bathroom... Epic !!!
Wow, that was the best explanation of how to read a vernier caliper I've ever heard, you are a gifted teacher man, seriously.
On today's show, This Old Tony makes titanium tinsel for Christmas.
Tune in next month, when he teaches us all how to destroy brand new drills, quick and easy!!
@@roadkill5333 I don't know. You need a real pro for that kinda work. That's something you go to your local high school shop for. Those guys and gals know nothing more than destroying hundreds of dollars worth of tooling by looking at it wrong!
I’ve actually never used a vernier caliper, I’ve always been a dial caliper kind of guy. But I gotta say, that quick primer on vernier caliper use was darn insightful. Thank you for that!
Ugh. The only times I touched a vernier was for re-qual. Not a fan...
DesmoFan I’m not a machinist myself so a dial caliper has served all my purposes in the past. But I still consider it fairly useful info if I’m ever forced to use them.
@@chris15252 oh, totally. dial calipers are great :)
My 6”,8"’, and 12” calipers are dial. But I have a 12” and 24" vernier. They are accurate if you know how to use them.
@@whiskeytangofoxtrot4363 6" dial, and my scale, everything else was micrometer. Calipers are certainly handy! I often wish I had one at home. I've just never bothered to pick one up xD
The "job shop cutoffs" joke was amazing 🤣🤣🤣 I think Abom should do a fundraiser video with those exact shorts.
The editing makes is great! I know what kind of effort went into this - thank you very much. You've done the extra mile for us.
Like many others, I appreciate you showing us how to read Vernier calipers. Thanks!
As someone who _has_ read verniers before, I'm glad he showed us how! Half the time I've had to use a _ruler_ to get the course measurement!
During my apprenticeship, we used to call the vernier calipers „Schätzeisen“ which roughly translates to „Guessing Iron“... it drove our foreman/instructor (?!) insane :D
lol awesome.
I tell my machining students their vernier calipers is the equivalent of a fabricators tape measure. Good for rough measuring.
Real measurements are done with Micrometers.
We called them shifting spanners 😂
Our nickname was 'very near gauge' . Schätzeisen kommt da im Sinne sehr nah...
@@notcrediblesolipsism3851 lol
TOT. Thank You! Made a simple (very) titanium wedding band for my wife for 18 year anniversary. She's an active woman and keeps losing stones from the engagement and wedding band. She wanted something tough and streamlined. Watched this vid maybe 4-5-6 times before i chuckled the rod in the lathe. Kept having to rewind, i was laughing so hard. "Reamed your Bung". Classic. Thanks again for sharing your talent, humor, and expertise. Btw, she loved it. Bonus points for Hubby
I was just reminded by Aaron of the flask occurrence! Not only are these Tony videos fantastic learning tools, but it reinforces Tony's ranking of "Master of Ink cap" within the writer's guild. Really great video!
I'm glad to hear you machined your own titanium hip replacements. I bought mine "off the shelf" and they are just awful.
I'm a wood worker in shipbuilding, so all I get is a peg.
I just put a nice weld in there for mine, you wouldn´t believe all the money i´ve saved on chairs since then.
You think off the shelf are awful? Try eBay hip replacements! :-0
At work i see tons of them, but they are all used and slightly burned
I can no longer get replacement parts for mine... What a cash cow!
I actually didn't know how to read a set of calipers before today.
Man. I love this channel. I’m here because you left a comment on AvE’s channel! Currently watching you’re entire back catalogue. Great content Sir.
I always absolutely loved those super duper clear training videos that explain every bit of what you are doing and i know you did it as a joke but that was incredibly helpful. Thank you.
The worlds productivity must take a nosedive when TOT posts a new vid.
Followed only by increased laughter and greater productivity, that is after everyone returns from thier 20 minute bathroom break.
Tell my wife that...dinner still ain't ready and she'll be home in five minutes!
@@davidsmart8594 How is your wife going to make dinner if she isn't home yet? I don't get it.
@@thatguythatdoesstuff7448 ^Applause!
Man, I really enjoy your videos. You earned the "Bell Icon" (and I don't give that thing lightly).
Thank you.
I just set up follow on Patreon, works fine
Same here - in fact only AVE and TOT does have this privilege :D
Your content is so freakin great Tony... glad I found your channel. My dad has run his small machine shop since long before I showed up, I am by no means a machinist, but can weld and run a lathe/mill enough to build stuff for my plane... but because I grew up in this environment it will always mean something extra to me. I have worked with some Ti and drilled it etc... it was nearly a nightmare! Really enjoyed this! You sir know your stuff, thanks for the great content and not just the learning aspect, but the humor.... it absolutely takes it to the next level.
Jeeeeez! I actually felt my head hurting!! That calliper explanation was incredibly well explained. Good work Tony ol’ chap, good work!!!!!
Love the futuristic look in the intro 🤪
BRILLIANT OPENING! Your, dare i say cinematography, is on point!
you mean it´s dead nutz?
Maaaan those vintage videos were pure gold....
Your videos are great.... both informative and fun. Great work! I do no milling or machining myself but watching you turn metal chunks into finished products is oddly satisfying.... That's it... I am buying a lathe!
Holy cow. I now know how to use calipers properly. Our teacher tried to show us how to use them with an ancient video from what looked like the 1990s that didnt have audio. That was the reason I bought an electronic calipers. Now I can finally use analogs too! Awesome.
Ancient video from the 90's..LOL! I find that hilarious because when I was in school in the 90's, we watched telecine VHS tapes. Videos that were made from a camera pointed at a screen showing a film. The old army films were the best. Had that great narrator voice. Search YT for "how differential steering works". You'll see a similar film conversion with an excellent explanation of how something works.
I learned ALOT from this! Now! The Future!! Abom does modeling on the side.
That primer on the calipers was awesome. Insightful and hilarious as always Tony. Thanks for the video.
That was hilarious, informative, and well made. You have achieved the holy trinity of content.
There needs to be some type of an award for the best videos on RUclips. TOT would definitely win in all categories.
Not if RUclips has any say in the matter. That award is reserved for someone like Taylor Swift.
We have to be able to read vernier scaled instruments for our A-level physics exams in the UK, some of my class mates don't understand them and your explanation is the best I've heard. I will be showing them this video.
Impressive knowledge, and some serious comedic chops. For a while I had no idea what I was watching exactly but I was loving every second.
i seriously love your videos lol keep em coming please.
I still have my shop class surface gauge! found it in the attic with all my baroque oil paintings from kindergarten.
Why arent they on display at the modern art museum?
@@eoinkenny3188 Because he made them in kindergarden.
@@moth.monster So they don't qualify as modern?
I didn't see Abomb in cut offs!! No I didn't LMAO. Thanks for the giggles and the great "Tape #21".
I hope adam seen this. Lol
Dude, your videos are hilarious and very educational. Keep up the good work. Love learning in this fashion.
“One part H and 2 parts S” 🙌😂🙌
Always fun to learn from TOT!!!
That one stole a surprise laugh from me too.
I am elated to have learned how to use calipers! I will probably never use the information, but I enjoy having it. And thanks for featuring Avon79... teeheehee
Today I finally learned how to measure on calipers I already own 2 pairs of.
John Possum: Good! Now start marking out stuff with the tips of the calipers, so that you no longer need to pay attention to the vernier's markings.
I see a lot of people posting this suggestion.. surely thats a terrible idea as its a precision instrument? or has the joke gone over my head lol
@@CactusforceX I believe it's considered caliper abuse. Wouldn't work with mine anyway as they are plastic. Turns out the joke is on them.
I can't believe that no one commented on the reference to "Spirits" at 11:49 and the subsequent "20 gallons of methylbenzene for your convenience". Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! Why the Hell would anyone waste their time with late night TV when the best writers work for This Old Tony!
Simply amazing video man. And honestly these videos you make are top notch
12:07 That sand paper made my girlfriend ask why I was rolling on the floor
I just want to say that your VHS tape makes for some seriously awesome shim material. And that's more than I got out of my master of engineering. :D
I managed an implantable pump project some years ago. It included a Ti bulkhead with complex machined spaces that provided mounting surfaces for electronics, a peristaltic pump head, a stepper motor, and valves. It was CMC machined on a large block with 32 blanks on each of its 4 sides in a lights out facility. The tool speeds and pressures we so high that the metal was almost liquified ahead of the tool The CNC machine was a large as a single car garage and the process was amazing to watch. The tool magazine contained various configurations of formed tools and relatively standard cutters. The machine knew the longevity of each tools and replaced them in the library with new ones when necessary. This started my interest in machining.
That noodled-out-videotape look was amazing, and the style and tone were spot-on for ye olde educational videos. It also reminds me that I have several large boxes full of VHS tapes which I have not used since I last moved house. More than 20 years ago, come to think of it. That actually makes me feel quite old, and a bit sad.
Well Tony, it was nice knowing you. Once Adam sees this vid, I have the feeling a very large wrench is going to interface rather suddenly with your cranium.
ABOM torque on its' way!
I'm putting my odds on a really large tap handle...
The German is like you, both great. Titanium is an art, nothing to fear. You shared well. Thank you.
Lance & Patrick.
Love the closer.
Especially the "colorful" ending.
What I just learned in less than 20 minutes for volumes! So many pearls of wisdom that, not kidding, I took notes and added this video to my list of REFERENCE videos. Thank you for sharing!
I appreciated the style. Reminiscent of science instructional films from Welcome Back Kotter. Tell your buddy to weld his ti parts together, clean and anodize at 25-30 volts for a nice blue /purple ( blurple- for those in the anodizing biz) Nice work as usual TOT!😃👍
That caliper tutorial was really good. I just learnt how to use them. Thank you!
Most awesome production value ever
I loved the shorts on going into more detail about the parts and the how to's. I've never needed the accuracy need with the vernier calipers and never bothered to learn how to read the Vernier scale part of the calipers. That was awesomely helpful! thank you!
Hey Professor This Old Tony from STF University your lessons on internal thread, vernier calipers and high speed steel were amazing.
And really liked that other type of job shop cutoff.
OMG.... Love from TOT!!!!!!!
