You missed one important thing. Notice the lack of metal hitting metal when you are operating the file. The spaces at the end of the cylinder compresses the air, creating a cushion, like a spring, help sending the piston back.
I used to make gold granules for my dad who is a gold smith. the method for making these is actually very simple. I would alloy the gold from gold, silver and copper casting grain in a crucible using an acetylene torch, then I would poor the gold into an ingot mold. Once it cooled, I use a rolling mill to roll the long ingot into a thick square wire. then I file one end down and draw it through a draw plate until its very very thin. every other draw I would anneal the wire and pickle it. my draw plates only go down to .25mm, however I could probably have a smaller done on an edm machine. then I wrap that wire around a specific diameter mandrel. I have a tool that allows me to cut that coil down the middle effectively making equal size rings. I arrange the rings onto a piece of charcoal that has small indents. I use a smaller tip on the acetylene torch to melt the rings and due to the surface tension they ball up into perfect equally sized spheres. Once these granules are made, my dad would use a glycerin glue to arrange them onto a piece of fabricated jewelry. Then using a small kiln and the torch he would fuse the granules together and onto the piece. the process is the same for brass, however its much easier because you don't have to manually arrange the granules, and you just pour them into a mold and heat it in an oven.
So thew company I work at has oodles of pneumatic cylinders to push product around. I recently found out about those bronze meshscreen things as well, and have been stealthily replacing them with the little plastic thing in airhorns that makes 'em go toot. Work has become a lot funnier lately :D
@anvilshock to protect my identity, I will not be providing evidence, but I can assure you, I have done this. Okay to be fair, it's not the cylinders themselves that I screw the airhorn bits back into, it's the pneumatic switches (the thick plastic thing with a solenoid on one end to computer control the airflow), which have several in and outlets, and it's got a pair that lets out overpressure when cylinders actuate in the "push direction" and "pull direction". All the switches are nicely clustered together, and I took care to get a few airhorns with different pitched tones. tldr; It's quite an orchestra.
Coach Cochran was my 7th and 8th grade shop teacher. Can't remember a single other teacher's name, but I remember him. Great guy, but a real hard ass. Rules. But, no one lost a finger, which was his point.
"Life was a whole lot easier before they made 3-dimensional tools" Thank you for sharing your great humor and shop talk with us, it's always a pleasure to watch your videos.
As good as the Calvin and Hobbes comic where Calvin's dad said that photos were always in colour it was just that the world used to be in black and white
Clickspring videos help me sleep, one minute i'm watching him file away at gear with a toothpick, next thing you know I wake up and he's finished a few teeth.
Mike O'Barr is that the one he used a Babbage analytical engine as the computer? I would actually like to see clickspring make the analytical engine, it's pretty cool.
All in all, if I let Engineering aside, these videos are more of a therapy than educational. Have been following this channels for two years now and it still has a unique vibe of endless possibility. Thank you, Tony!
Norm Jacques no, no, no. "Our chief tools are gears! Gears and supplies! Two! Or two chief tools are gears and supplies! And a fanatical devotion to quality..."
DO NOT throw away that 'dirty' filter. As a 'professional' you should know that a well lubricated filter increases performance and will give your tool another 400 HP.
It is getting to the point where it really doesn't matter about the subject Tony, the production and wit make for 20 minutes of truly worthwhile existence on this earth. Thank you!
Those that didn't watch to the end really missed out. That last scene...HILARIOUS. Tony, good comics use the callback and you used it PERFECTLY. Your videos must take a TON of time to produce. I appreciate all of your content. Thank for your hard work.
I use these at my work place...you can mount on it air pressure reduction valve to manipulate the speed...generally We use it to mimic shot blasted surfaces with a tungsten carbide tip ...and it does the job very decently....
I like these videos so much I don't want them to end. I want them to last longer. I have started watching all of them at .75 speed, I recommend changing your settings (the gear cog at the bottom of viewer) and trying it out for yourself.
Clickspring, your a legend. Alec steele and Ave both mention you every once in a while but this tops it. That laser light at the end almost had me fall out of my chair. Tony, Chris, great colab.
I am in awe of how a man - somewhere out in this wide world - films himself doing stuff and talking about it....and then days or weeks later I - some guy out there in this wide world - sit for HOURS watching it....and then write this.... Love the channel. Dont ever change. (Love to see ya build/CNC, and play with, a Tesla one way valve/valvular conduit)!)
I love your videos and was really happy to see a new one come out so soon. I learn something new and useful almost every time I watch, and even when I don't, I'm still very entertained. You do great work, thank you for being a welcome break and an inspiration to try new things in my shop.
Always eager for a new TOT production. And on that note, you've come a long, long way from the early days of the hydraulic press build. TOT, always entertaining and occasionally informative. Seriously, I learned much and never enjoyed doing so more. Like the collaborations too; Clickspring, AvE, Abomb, Diresta, Mr. Pete, Keith Fenner, etc. Mrs. TOT must love traveling in such.....ummmmm.....lofty circles, though I suppose wardobe could be a challenge. Thank you for all your efforts and please keep 'em coming.
Tony, if you put out a video on how to make smores with a vacuum cleaner and a rubber mallet I would watch it twice. You just keep doing you sir! Thanks :D 17:45
I really enjoy your videos, and your humor. you have given me some great ideas that I have implemented in the shop I am employed at. I went to college to be a welder, but have become a metal fabricator working for an early model mustang, performance suspension oriented shop. I have learned light machining skills on a manual mill, and manual lathe from my employer, but learn something new every day from your videos. I would like to see more machining tips you have up your sleeve if at all possible. Thank you for putting out good content!
Hey Tony, small correction here: the piston doesn't *need* to hit the ends of the cylinder, although it probably does on occasion, a little bit... Newton's 3rd law provides that when the piston moves forward, the air is also pushing against the opposite wall of the cylinder, and starts moving it in the opposite direction... so the piston serves as a mass that works like an oscillating counterweight to the cylinder. If it really did slam into the end, you'd be hearing it when running the file. Your best improvement might come from drilling a few holes in the piston (without breaching the airways) and pouring molten lead in it... assuming it's only hardened on the sliding surfaces that is. Great videos! Thanks!
Between you and Chris those are the Very Best motion graphic overlays on YT, imho. Mega Kudo's to you both and to get another collaboration is off the charts! Splitting the arrow in motion and the Sintered bronze was brilliant, although the cat lips seemed right out of Logitech but still the best use of it I've seen while falling out of my chair...and thank you for not sharing any hair balls, but the laser threw me out of my chair..again. As for Hilarity, I think you are winning because I messed up my espresso intake Again and spewed...12 thumbs up for catching me, again. Great content and explanations with minimal expletives that were at least bleeped. OK, I have to ask what software and add-ons are you using?...Please. I think I know the real reason for this video, it's to turn Chris on to an air filer because his fingers have to be down to the nubbin's after hand filing 126,846 gear teeth over 2 millennium (2096yrs)...Right? Gob struck in Awe and grinning ear to ear (again) is the best I can say for a Thank You, Tony and Chris!!
Mike oliver for the quality of work that man does I don't think it'd be possible to post any faster. I'm always amazed at the production quality of the project and the video. Tis a staggering amount of work, so I have no problem waiting between uploads.
Thank you for making this video. I had the same questions that other people (2) asked about whether it could be "skooked" up or not, and I really enjoyed the step-by-step breakdown of how it works. I understand now! Thank you!
Jared Springer I've been getting into wood working the past year and after discovering and binge watching TOT, I'm really reconsidering this whole dead tree business.
😂 You are certifiable, cat man. I have so many air tools in my garage but I ever use only two of them. A high flow blower gun to clean the garage and a low flow blower gun to clean the garage... That's not completely true, though. Twice a year I change tires on my car. I wait for a male person to pass, and fire up the pneumatic bolt tool. It never fails, they cannot ignore that sound. 😜
Does the piston actually smack into the walls of the cylinder on each stroke? Seems like that'd cause a lot of noise, wear and tear, and wasted energy. It kinda looks like the piston will uncover the "go the other way" hole long before it hits the wall, so it might just be that the piston vibrates back and forth inside the cylinder, and the air pressure pushing on the ends of the cylinder makes it vibrate forth and back. The cool thing about designing it this way would be that if the piston weighs about the same as the cylinder, since one's always going forward while the other's going backward, there's no net momentum and no recoil, so you won't feel (much) vibration when you hold the tool.
Jason Goodman I think you are right, or at least with some design you could attempt to do so. Maybe that is the reason why there is the maximum prescribed pressure, not because the tool would burst but because the higher pressure would make the piston slam the end stops. You could test this drilling some vent holes in one side, or both, if the sound changes there is an inpact.
Yup, that's almost certainly exactly how it's intended to work. Note that this only works properly if the weights balance, which means the file needs to weigh the right amount. Which is probably another reason ... er, justification ... for the "don't use other files" rule. There shouldn't be any recoil in any case, since nothing much is pushing on the file body.
You and AvE are like wallflowers eyeing each other from across the room. One of you needs to make the first move so we can watch the collab to end all collabs
Hey Tony you need to do a series on souping up your air filer! Take a carbide end mill and bore those parts to over a quarter inch. Add a 12 inch saws all blade. Connect to a 600 CFM gunnite compressor and you'll be ready to cut a winters worth of firewood in half a day!
As requested, I paused and thought about it, and realize this video has three dimensions (X,Y,Time) and is used to represent of a 4 Dimensional event (X,Y,Z,Time). Is this the trick to your time travel ability?
So many internet rules broken here. First off you have to have a green mat and a moldy coffee mug on your healing bench. Also the kittah should speak only in french and of course always more skook (try some pink tape and tap oil).
Just listening while I dabble through chores, but the description around 2:30 could very well describe most of my friends babies- supply goes in one way, comes flying out front or back!
The small hole on the other side of the 5 holes for the main port is there in order to avoid, that the cylinder is pressed to this side. The hole allows pressurized air to reach the other side of the cylinder opposite of the main port. The milled flat mirrors the area of the pocket in the housing. Therefore the pressure and area on which the pressure is applied are balanced. This has nothing to do with the piston being in neutral position.
Thanks for the disassembly and explanation of operation, especially without junior high profanity in an attempt to inflate your manhood. GOOD job as usual and love your clean sense of humor.
What the fack pardner? Never worked around other guys before? Either you work in an office or you're the guy on the job site with the clipboard that everyone rolls their eyes at. Either way you can go ahead and refer to Anthony's reply above.
Dick beaters = or /= dick skinners? I know this chick that has a mean set of dick skinners... er uh vageen that can really give the dick a good 'ol scrub.
Well you’re definitely part of the carpet people clan, but what really makes me sick? He smells just like a “safety coordinator”. Appointed to out of compassion once the talent dried up no doubt...
Ron, don't blame the player; blame the game. Watch AvE's older video on drilling/broaching a square hole to see what he is like when your wish comes true. This is a video, before there were vijayos. It's not AvE's fault that CZcams spews buckets of money at him for making 30 minute dick jokes. He learned what kind of audience you need to make hundreds of thousands of dollars on CZcams and Patreon, then he said "hold my beer." Thus, Uncle Bumblefuck was born. I consider it performance art by a smart man. The art of the Canadian dick joke. Cockfordollie == Dick jokes for dollhairs.
10:40 "this is air"... "this isn't air" I chuckled heartily
You missed one important thing. Notice the lack of metal hitting metal when you are operating the file. The spaces at the end of the cylinder compresses the air, creating a cushion, like a spring, help sending the piston back.
Oh nice info !
I Hope this is the second part of the trilogy.
Be careful, Rian Johnson may try to direct the next installment.
I wonder what will be included in the prequels?
Brent Wolff
Midiclorians and CGI
I feel as though I have entered an alternate reality with Wintergatan, the best musical tinkerer, commenting on a Tony video.
This is amazing.
Dear Mr Wintergatan, it's the second part of a five part trilogy.
I used to make gold granules for my dad who is a gold smith. the method for making these is actually very simple.

Oh I wish that I had a clip from "Monsters vs. Aliens." Or maybe a montage where B.O.B. just states, "Amazing."
Poor guy can't spell pour.
sorry typed it out on my cell phone
Far too many words and steps to be simple. 😁
"Don't be alarmed." Hard to when I see a mouth rotoscoped onto a cat.
So thew company I work at has oodles of pneumatic cylinders to push product around. I recently found out about those bronze meshscreen things as well, and have been stealthily replacing them with the little plastic thing in airhorns that makes 'em go toot. Work has become a lot funnier lately :D

devjock that is hilarious
This never happened.

too loud; did a racket?
You're the shop teacher everyone wishes they had in middle/high/secondary-school.

These videos are so packed with dry humor, I have to keep my moisturizer nearby when watching them!
Seriously, though, can't stop laughing!
You could put a tiny glow plug at each end of the cylinder and use nitromethane model airplane fuel for oil. It’ll be awesome!
"Life was a whole lot easier before they made 3-dimensional tools"
Thank you for sharing your great humor and shop talk with us, it's always a pleasure to watch your videos.

Clickspring videos help me sleep, one minute i'm watching him file away at gear with a toothpick, next thing you know I wake up and he's finished a few teeth.
I know the feeling I once watched him make a file but my CZcams was set to autoplay and when I woke up he'd just finished a windup lunar lander.
Mike O'Barr is that the one he used a Babbage analytical engine as the computer? I would actually like to see clickspring make the analytical engine, it's pretty cool.
Mike oliver No, he used it to build Alan Turing's "Christopher" I believe.
Well, once he's done with the Antikythera in a few centuries....
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
It sure feels like Clickspring has been working on that one gear since 76 B.C.
Oh the Clickspring dig was a beauty. Excellently placed and the timing was perfect.
"...Clickspring, making a gear since 76 B.C." that cat... I laughed so hard
All in all, if I let Engineering aside, these videos are more of a therapy than educational. Have been following this channels for two years now and it still has a unique vibe of endless possibility. Thank you, Tony!
*Looks at cylinder.*
"I suppose this is the cylinder." -TOT
The couch analogy had me crying.
It had that ring of truth.
NOBODY EXPECTS THE CLICKSPRING INQUISITION

DO NOT throw away that 'dirty' filter. As a 'professional' you should know that a well lubricated filter increases performance and will give your tool another 400 HP.
I say hog out those holes by 50 % and see if it chooches.
OOPS, wrong channel.
ah a wooden v block, a true machinist

I *always* thought there's a little woodpecker inside air-files. Thanks Tony!
Not in the ones designed for metal working.
Millions of them in fact
Thats more of a metalpecker...wait wasnt that the name of a post-apocalyptic porno?
Shane Ellis I'm not gonna ask how you even know that 😂😂
Nice Guy rule 34

Alright, 2 videos from TOT in a WEEK!!!!!! Guess I'll have to extend my lunch break to watch...haha Take it easy...
Dave Erving Evader Knives does everybody who watches this old Tony has a job except me???
Haha, if you include CZcams, I have 2 or 3
I love this old tony!

3 minutes later and I’m still chuckling at the laser light cause and effect. As always great video. Thanks so much
Why do you want to kill that filer?
It's sort of like "Clutch Cargo" with the cat lips!
3,700 strokes per minute... my dog would love it.
I gotta admit, the amount of machining done on and the type of material present on this gadget is pretty impressive for 20 dollars
Tony, I wasn't disappointed at all but strangely relieved that you went all the way with the air file. Greetings from Arizona.
I thought you said 'Air Rifle'... But then you wouldn't have a talking cat problem.
It did happen to many of us in the 1st part too.
If you're high on acid, an air rifle will only make your talking cat problem worse...
LMAO, OMG that is sooo funny! I started to cry.
I’ll make the Johnny Dangerously joke. “I had a talking cat problem once... ONCE”
I dont know anything about tools like this, quite informative :D
your jokes always get me! plz keep the videos comming!!!
and, once again, love to see your videos. Thanks for sharing !
We love you Tony!
Would you look at that! Clickspring good job!
Sasha Z don't encourage click spring to do other projects. We wait a long time between his videos already. 😉
Mike oliver for the quality of work that man does I don't think it'd be possible to post any faster. I'm always amazed at the production quality of the project and the video. Tis a staggering amount of work, so I have no problem waiting between uploads.
Jesse S oh I agree completely I was just playing around. I do look forward to his videos though.
Jesse S - what are you talkin about. He’s been workin on the same, one gear for two thousand years. I expected better honestly.
Barry Freeman to be fair that one Gear has over 100,000 hand filed teeth.
I have seen YTrs do that same kinda alert intro.
Thank you for lowering the volume and not killing my ears like others have :)
Cracking open a cold one, sitting back and enjoying a new episode of This Old Tony shenanigans. This Friday just got awesome.
Huh, I remember BOLTR having a lot more cussin' and Richards in vises.
I was gonna clean the house, but then I got notification that TOT posted a video !!
I was gonna get up and find the broom, but I got notified
EREBUS and I know why......because I got ‘Fied, because I got ‘Fied, because I got notified
Thank you for making this video. I had the same questions that other people (2) asked about whether it could be "skooked" up or not, and I really enjoyed the step-by-step breakdown of how it works. I understand now! Thank you!
Always enjoyable and informative. Ave will be proud!
It's a miniature combination between the working-principal of a 2-stroke engine and the one of a steam engine
sort of a Klein bottle crossed with Walschaerts valve gear . . . no wonder Clickspring showed up when he took it "apart"
Man I love your videos and I’m not a machinist
Jared Springer I've been getting into wood working the past year and after discovering and binge watching TOT, I'm really reconsidering this whole dead tree business.
You misspelled masochist.
I love you videos, a great sense of humor and awesome information.
Why do I always have an aching desire to SUBSCRIBE when watching these, even though I know I already have. Strange, spooky, something like that.
😂 You are certifiable, cat man. I have so many air tools in my garage but I ever use only two of them. A high flow blower gun to clean the garage and a low flow blower gun to clean the garage... That's not completely true, though. Twice a year I change tires on my car. I wait for a male person to pass, and fire up the pneumatic bolt tool. It never fails, they cannot ignore that sound. 😜
Lithium powered tools are so good now I only use the air for blowing / tyres
This thing converts air into noise, just like my bung hole :)
You made a lot of smiles here 😀 thank you!
Love your humor. It's awesome.
Does the piston actually smack into the walls of the cylinder on each stroke? Seems like that'd cause a lot of noise, wear and tear, and wasted energy. It kinda looks like the piston will uncover the "go the other way" hole long before it hits the wall, so it might just be that the piston vibrates back and forth inside the cylinder, and the air pressure pushing on the ends of the cylinder makes it vibrate forth and back.
The cool thing about designing it this way would be that if the piston weighs about the same as the cylinder, since one's always going forward while the other's going backward, there's no net momentum and no recoil, so you won't feel (much) vibration when you hold the tool.
Also, I suspect that the air trapped on either side of the piston would give it a spring action as it's compressed.
Jason Goodman I think you are right, or at least with some design you could attempt to do so. Maybe that is the reason why there is the maximum prescribed pressure, not because the tool would burst but because the higher pressure would make the piston slam the end stops. You could test this drilling some vent holes in one side, or both, if the sound changes there is an inpact.
Big thanks for posting this, Jason. It makes so much sense.
I really must watch the video before I read the comments! :o)
Yup, that's almost certainly exactly how it's intended to work.
Note that this only works properly if the weights balance, which means the file needs to weigh the right amount. Which is probably another reason ... er, justification ... for the "don't use other files" rule.
There shouldn't be any recoil in any case, since nothing much is pushing on the file body.

This channel is the best. Its not common to find someone that is really good explainer and funny, love your vids definitely subscribeeing.
The world needs a video with Clickspring and TOT shenanigans
So many internet rules broken here. First off you have to have a green mat and a moldy coffee mug on your healing bench. Also the kittah should speak only in french and of course always more skook (try some pink tape and tap oil).
Sy Bernot Sounds like you just want to watch AvE.
My wife just asked if I'm watching one trick Tony 😁 maybe a cool name for a second channel
Its ok to have only one trick - if it is a really really good trick.
"I fear not the man who practice 10,000 kicks once, but the man who practices 1 kick 10,000 times" - bruce lee.
Don't know how you accomplish that, but the sense of humor is still rising from episode to episode. It's an enrichment for everyone ;)
I love your videos! Keep it up! I always learn something cool
😁good Kitty!
Glad TOT reopened the File on this harbor freight tool. Really airing out the dirty secrets here.
OK, I'm sorry.. I'm done.
It was wearing me down, like a burr in my side.
C’mon man, just go with the flow...
Chipped a tooth, did ya?
I've tried filing air. The damned stuff just keeps moving around. Very frustrating!
ExtantFrodo2 did you file alphabetically or numerically? I’m no expert, but I bet it makes a difference
I bet I'm not the only guy who is in no way mechanically inclined to watch and love these videos
Love you’re videos as always!!!!
Did you take that file to your fingernails??
"Well, This Old Tony, what is that hole for?"
Just listening while I dabble through chores, but the description around 2:30 could very well describe most of my friends babies- supply goes in one way, comes flying out front or back!
The small hole on the other side of the 5 holes for the main port is there in order to avoid, that the cylinder is pressed to this side. The hole allows pressurized air to reach the other side of the cylinder opposite of the main port. The milled flat mirrors the area of the pocket in the housing. Therefore the pressure and area on which the pressure is applied are balanced. This has nothing to do with the piston being in neutral position.
skookum vid,plenty of chooch
And I released the shmoo
anyone else 1 of the six?
That cat moment at the end. That's Gold Old Tony, That's Gold!!!! And thanks for the Coldspring intro. looks interesting.
I’m always ready for the next video. Indeed educational.
Thanks for the disassembly and explanation of operation, especially without junior high profanity in an attempt to inflate your manhood. GOOD job as usual and love your clean sense of humor.
So much vulgar talk!
What the fack pardner? Never worked around other guys before? Either you work in an office or you're the guy on the job site with the clipboard that everyone rolls their eyes at. Either way you can go ahead and refer to Anthony's reply above.
Dick beaters = or /= dick skinners? I know this chick that has a mean set of dick skinners... er uh vageen that can really give the dick a good 'ol scrub.
Well you’re definitely part of the carpet people clan, but what really makes me sick? He smells just like a “safety coordinator”. Appointed to out of compassion once the talent dried up no doubt...
Ron, don't blame the player; blame the game. Watch AvE's older video on drilling/broaching a square hole to see what he is like when your wish comes true. This is a video, before there were vijayos.
It's not AvE's fault that CZcams spews buckets of money at him for making 30 minute dick jokes. He learned what kind of audience you need to make hundreds of thousands of dollars on CZcams and Patreon, then he said "hold my beer." Thus, Uncle Bumblefuck was born. I consider it performance art by a smart man. The art of the Canadian dick joke.
Cockfordollie == Dick jokes for dollhairs.
BOLTR
Ogri Grindstaff. Lol. I wonder if ave&tony will ever collab
Brendan Stanford they sort of have in the past. AvE made some parts for TOT
His box opening skills need some honing.
I almost heard a "and as always keep your dick in a vice" . At least it was in my head.
"Keep your piston in a cylinder"
Thanks Tony! Congrats on the new addition to the family ha ha
Enjoyed the humor. Great job TOT
This Old AvE :D
On his first try he accomplishes what AvE has been attempting to do for years.
A new video of This Ols Tony always makes my day
every single video you post is an absolute gem
