    You know you watch too much TOT when you have dreams about machining despite having never touched a milling machine or a lathe.

      @ryanrising2237 Před 4 lety +51

      Don’t worry, those dreams are perfectly natural. I’m sure one day, not too far in the future, you’ll meet a nice machine tool, hit it off, and do the real thing.
      Just gotta put yourself out there is all!

    The real goodie of showing only hands is that only the area around your hands need to be tidy...
    There's probably all sorts of half finished projects, uncleaned tools, a tipped over drawer of bolts and half an old sandwich on the bench we don't see.

Although it was refreshing to see that trick done with a yellow cloth instead of the blue ones they always use in Vegas. But overall, not bad.

Hell it seems like only a year ago and you were surface grinding tool holders for no reason! Oh and Blueing than poorly. Again, i wanted to thank you for your great sense of Humor!!! it seems like only yesterday, well maybe 30 years ago when I was a mechanic making things that my manager didn't approve but the company owner loved... Now I sell software and spend my spare time watching This Old Tony! Don't stop what you are doing, god I have already watched all your vids several times already. How may times could I watch Squaring Stock or even CNC part 1 2 3 ....

      No, it was super easy, barely an inconvenience. And also machining parts to nominal specs is tight!
      But I guess where the first End Mill welded itself wasn't intended, whoops! Whoopsie!
      I know he said why he picked the color green but really why was it plastic? I don't know! Fair enough.

    Well, they said they were making a replica but didn’t specify replica methods had to be used! Good thing. The lunar module started out with 32K of computer memory and the programmers weren’t sure they could fit the code in that. Relief came when a new computer with 64K arrived and the programmers knew they could fit into that comfortably. (Ah, assembly language!). I bring this up only because I was wondering how much “core” Tony’s router has compared to the lunar module 50 years ago.
    BTW, that sand blasted finish was genius. Those parts have that “mil-spec” look nailed. Fantastic work all around. As always.
    P.S. there’s a whole thing out there in the makerverse centering around reproducing parts of Apollo and other space programs. A really great example can be found on the Applied Science channel where he reproduces something called a DSKY. It’s stunning if you haven’t seen it.

    I love TOTs videos, and this is one of the first ones I watched. After I watched it I watched the Project Egress build and found it very unsatisfying. I'm an engineer and one of the aspects I really enjoy about TOTs videos is that they "work" or "do something". Whereas the Project Egress build just had to look pretty. While I understand there are a great many people who enjoy engineering art projects, I'm not one of them.

      It's exactly the way it is at my day job - we build the thing, the project manager asks for a bunch of tiny last minute changes because he sees ways it could be better now that he can actually work with it - which is great, except no-one writes any of it down, so now when we go back and work on it we accidentally undo some of those little changes from the initial design so now the thing doesn't work, and we have to do even more work to figure out what we broke and go back and fix it.
