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.
Oh thank heavens. TOT archive videos and repeats. Which means there is something GOOD to watch on CZcams. Time to sit back, relax, have a few laughs and learns a few things.
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.

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!
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.
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.
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! ;-)
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.
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.
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.
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)
@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.
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.
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 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.
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 🤓.
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).
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!
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!
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.
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 .
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.
I saw NMTB and instantly thought "Neenage Mutant Tinja Burtles" .... 🤦
Ahahahah

You sir, made my day 🤣
near 3 years later, still waiting on that drawbridge.
James May has done a Meccano one for Spark. Look it up. (He's also done a full-size replica Supermarine Spitfire and a plasticine flower garden for the Royal Chelsea Flower Show. Almost as talented as TOT)
Damnit! Came down here to comment the same thing. You beat me to it. :D
TOT has made a drawbridge - and lifted it. We're all trapped in his garage.

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"

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.

@@darkshadowsx5949 I think "uncomfortable to touch" is still "cold" compared with traditional hot bluing.
I have the 2018 version of this lathe and it does Metric, Neutral, English, Spanish and Chinese.
so accurate, nothing, obsolete, que? and coronavirus?
I have the liberal version, it does Muh superior, gender neutral, reecist colonizer, no border, and pay me to shill for yu.
@@demsexploitingdeadkidsforp3635 eat poop. Quit ruining a neutral channel

It’s always nice to come back and re rewatch old videos
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!
I am not a machinist, in fact I know less than a "thou" about the subject but the delivery and style of these videos keeps me watching! Good stuff!
Your the most creative you tuber out there, just love your sense of humor.keep up the great work!!!!!!!!
Man you've been cranking out videos lately, all of superior quality! Amazing Tony!
I find these relaxing to watch even though ive never worked with metal before
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.
Most underrated "making stuff" channel on youtube.
Your videos are some of my favorites...honest.
The combination of professional quality video skills, coupled with your obvious knowledge of machining is apparent.

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.
Finally! A project I think I could handle. I was able to follow without getting lost. Thank you for all these videos.
Thank you Tony for your videos.
Very interesting and also witty.
How I wish I had such skill. Am always amazes at the ability of really good machinists - thank you.
Making tools and accessories for other tools is one of my favorite kind of projects. Nice build!
Great editing and video. You have such cool toys.
That was a joy to watch. Just the turning of the thread, mesmerising.
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 machine is beautiful. The projects you make are another reason why I'd like a mill.
I love coming back to old videos and seeing just how far you've come. Keep up the great work man!
I'm truly impressed with so much craftsmanship. Congrats
Hilariously informative as always! Thanks for sharing your wit and knowledge again!
awesome job Tony, this video has that middle of the night machining feel, it makes me feel all cosy just watching it!
Yes! That was as smooth as your espresso! Loved it. Keep it coming.
Best Matt
Tony not only are you a craftsman but an entertainer too. Keep doing the good work buddy.

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.

Keep on trucking ! (from France)
Yet another freaking outstanding video! You're on a roll! Please keep it up, I love watching your videos.
This is pure art ! Amazing ...
I needed this today. Thanks for putting in the work.
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
.

Never used a mill in my life- still quite mesmerizing.
That is beyond slick. Great job !
It's like ASMR videos but actually relaxing and watching it gives you pleasure
I love the fact that you can make anything you want!👌👌
I love the use of that hex collet holder to mill the hex head!
Another good vid!
another great video from the master of Italian cinema.
it's incredibly satisfying to watch!
Beautifull work and video edition. Congratulations! :-)
Another brilliant vid, and so well explained! (A picture says a thousand words)
I love watching other machinists, the simple things like those slip over clamps for the vice. Learn something clever everyday
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 this freaking channel.

Some of the greatest videos out there. Great work T. I laughed all the way through the get er done video.
love it! enjoyed the humorous touches!!
Always good to see the old Energon saw getting some use. I’m sure Optimus is pleased.
Awesome just comes oozing out of your pores.
I'm more of a wood-working person myself, but your videos are simply mesmerizing.
Love your videos, they are so calming... they put me right to sleep... in a good way :-)
I really like the parting tool effect on the hex nut! A slight notch makes it look really pro...
Had me sitting on the edge of my seat. Good video
That was the best thing I ever sawr. Now I need to magically become a machinist.
Tony, Your vids are excellent! Can't wait for the "Draw bridge" project!! Thanks for the laughs....Razor!
Man, I've learned a lot from this channel in the short time I've been watching.
Super stoked for the drawbridge episode :)
Keep up the good work!
And not one call from AvE! He must have gotten it stuck real good this time.
LOVE the editing on this video
I have come to expect no less... Good job!
Subtle, very subtle and funny, thank you :D
love this guys work standards
Another amazing Old Tony video!
I have no idea what's going on in this video but I love watching every second of it.
amazing video brother! full of neat tricks and information,very funny thanks for sharing!
That saw, so amazing! ;D
Can't wait for the next project on your list.
I love the occasional unexpected laser effects. It always makes me laugh! :)
Easily one of my favorite videos
Nice work and fantastic mechanical job
I love lithe machin so much

Great video, I love the editing skills and shop skills also! 👍🏼
Feels like an ode to some of the other brilliant, less vocal youtubers out there. Nice one 👍
I need to get one of those plasma ray cutting saw. Awesome video my friend.
Next item on the list Drawbridge! Can't wait to see it being made. 😀
You make it look so easy!
