I drew a big smile on that CNC-mini-me.

My husband got me interested in these videos, but I couldn't remember the name of the channel for the longest time so I called it "Dad Jokes Machine Shop." It is now the official moniker in our house.

Just a guy cranking his noodle in his garage.

Actually, the gangster tear is there for the pasta machines he has already lost.

Two month after seeing your first video i bought myself a lathe another 2 month later a mill... Now i have seen all your vids and have a room full of metal equipment i didn't know that it is existing before your vids 😎 i just want to thank you for the good times your work brought to guys like me i discovered a new hobby because of you... Thanx

Just a friendly advice: don't leave ANYTHING on your Holo-Board while you turn it off... guess what happened to my socks.

When I saw the "shop tawk" slider increasing, I was happy. When the "antics" slider decreasing, not so much. Tony, we can watch "normal" videos, all over the Tube. Don't be stingy with the antics. steve

The subtlety of and the tongue-in-cheek nature of the humor is fabulous!! The Sharpie cap color changes and, frankly, the rest are what make these videos really clever. Humor aside, This Old Tony really does know his stuff...sort of, usually. Keep up the great work (?) and don’t change a thing about how you produce them. Thanks TOT 😁🤦🏼‍♂️

there was some static in the holo-board image, either you need to replace some Spatial capacitors or use a power conditioner.

Got a verbal "Mmmm" out of me when you finished those straight knurls.

I love your videos, the comedy is a fresh mix of dad jokes and exaggerations that fits so well with your own particular way of speaking and acting while still being on topic and informative!

That freedom and privacy joke was the funniest line of the whole thing

Inkscape works in svg natively. It can play with most common vector formats and even oddball languages like hpgl2. It is free as in beer and freedom, so it has that going for that too. SVG is basically just a text file with a bunch of line segment instructions, it’s super neat. It means in theory, you can open notepad and just type your drawing out.

Tony, I'm amazed at the work you put into these videos, not to mention the humor. I would almost be willing to pay to watch these ... almost.

Anytime I see that TOT has put out a new video I dance for joy, well I let out a yell, well maybe only a big smile, err make that a chuckle. Then I watch the thing and find myself laughing a lot. Tony you are one talented individual.

0:40 look at the pen... Illuminati confirmed 😫

Looking forward to the jet engine, you promised!

Wow...That sketch of "Alex"... Now I knew You were "multitalented" but this just isn't fair..... Now I'm depressed ... But thanks for the video anyway ;)

What did I just watch? How far have I slipped? I used to model 3-D rotor heads for helicopters in the 90's in ProE. I didn't recognize any of the software in this video nor would I have any idea how to feed a 3-D CAD file to a CNC machine or to then calibrate the work piece to the machine. I wouldn't even know the difference between a CNC router and a CNC milling machine. I still lust after old Bridgeport machines with knobs and cranks. This Old Tony's hands don't look old enough to be retired so I have to assume he has a day job, plays in the garage nights and weekends and doubles his work by videoing it all. Then edits and uploads and maintains this channel ! This dude is a hero.

LOL OMG LOL, dude your sarcasm is refreshing to say the least... Your timing is impeccable. Just when I start to nod off from boredom you toss in a zinger that wakes me right up laughing my buttock off... I really enjoy your videos, thank you for all your hard work. Cheers...

This video is all kinds of good. Love coming back and rewatching the "old" stuff.

This easy Name - This Old Tony - with that easy Face n with so simple glasses and with Beautiful Voice confidence has a great Harmoni wich I never can get anywhere except here of - This Old Tony - I recognize that You are a great Director of the best sort, in Technics n even in movie n animation, I never meet someone like you, I'm Sooo happy only listen to your voice, you are a great human. I do love all your job you do. Thank you Mr 🙏 - This Old Tony - 🙌 Thank you

TOT , great drawing skills.

I switched my monitor to CINEMATIC MODE for this.

nobody is talking about the amount of times the sharpie switched colors lol. he cracks me up

"So How About That Pasta Machine, huh?" This sentence reminds me of the National Semiconductor icon Bob Pease and his column "Whats all about this ******* stuff, anyhow" published in the monthly "Electronic Design" magzaine. I read the first issue in 1971. There always was the humor that Mr. "This Old Tony" takes care of as well. I enjoy his videos.

Hi Tony, well, after waiting a month for the postal service to get the machine back to Alex, I was happy. Watching Alex use it, even happier, and now your follow up, I'm really happy. Great build, explanation, and now I'm a subscriber to Alex's' channel, big thanks for that tip!!!

Imagine my surprise, I just found a Covel surface grinder that looks just like yours for sale near me. I came here to check out your old rebuild videos a bit to see how bad a buy it is at $200. Only to see you uploaded a new video, well, down the rabbit hole I go.

Great how the sharpie changed colors, love the attention to detail 😹

I believe that Inkscape (it's free) can save SVG files. By installing a plugin, GIMP (it's free) can export to .svg.

The tear was to emote for the beauty, for which he had no mouth to speak about.

Since I haven't seen anyone make this comment yet, I love the random change of the marker while he was talking. Always the small stuff that probably gets overlooked that is actually hilarious once you see it.

looking forward to the video about coolant. :D

Am I the only one to notice the Sharpie color change? TOT, you make me smile.

Everyone wants cake and a bigger garage.

What a day when TOT stops broadcasting! You monseur are why social media has a solid square foot at 90 degrees to stand on. Long may you live!

TOT:. Yours is my favorite KZfaq channel! I'm just a wannabe machinist (for building model steam engine parts and other non-essential activities), and learning lots from your videos! Learning new stuff is already joyous, but learning with clever humor is the BEST!!!! Thx x 1k!!!!

Why on earth are you so good at being on this planet.. Why is machining the only thing you entertain with. You are a LEGEND.

I love how you add these "odd" but well thought of things throughout all your videos. Like the pen... I lovehate these things

Lmao at the pen changing from black to blue. I thought I was going crazy for a sec!

Love the sharpie change at 0:42 from black to blue. How many people noticed that. Great edit.

You know, much of what you say I don't have any idea what it means...(LOL) BUT I do so love watching you bevel your way to heaven!

I have been enjoying your videos for a while now. Your pithy humor is incredable, which is only surpassed by your technical knowledge and mechanical ability. I really enjoyed this collaboration with Alex. He is fortunate that you re-engineered his pasta mechine. I was really surprised when I saw the shoutout from Wintergatan and his mention of your soultion for the muting mechanism for the Marble Machine X. The Bistable Mechanism you suggested is genious. I follow Wantergatan, so it was really enjoyable for me to see that you do as well, and to see your contribution to his MMX. I found your site when I searched for help with TIG. I love your welder, but alas, I will have to settle for a less expensive machine. Good luck and I look forward to your future videos. Tim

Several have mentioned Inkscape... I'm with them. It's a great piece of free software. I've used it to make some pretty cool things on my router. It's the best I've used for tracing rasters, importing PDFs... All kinds of fun stuff. It's native is svg and, best of all, it can export the files straight to dxf. I normally go from Inkscape to Draftsight (also free) to clean and scale then to CAM. Sometimes I copy from Draftsight and paste directly into a SolidWorks sketch. I love the videos Tony. Keep up the good work. My 3 yr old is on me to make him a sword and a rubber band rifle. I will one day.

Realy cool project and colab. With all the work you put into that pasta machine you were only 4 gears and 2 rollers short of building one from scratch.

Even being a machine-fu black belt, scrapio high wizard, and a dog whisperer, I still cant figure out how the old mysic color changing sharpie trick is done. bravo!

Dear This Old Tony, you are an inspiration

What a fantastic channel! Thanks for giving me the chance to vicariously do some really cool projects.

Hi there! I discovered your videos through Wintergatan’s video on bistable mechanisms. As a mech. engineer, it’s refreshing to see your detailed videos, but your sense of humor is what’s keeping me subscribed, keep up the good work :)

3 seconds into the vid, i see the "directors cut noodles" line in the description and i click "like". fuck me, but I love you dude, AvE is the progenitor of my love for thee so thank him for granting thee yet another truly devoted fan!

Loved the project redux. Can't get enough of your content, Tony!

I love this channel so much, you perfectly cater to my need for dry humor. Thank you.

I love your videos Tony. For the record you could have used Acetyl plastic for many parts. White acetyl is available as food grade and it accepts CNC machining very well. Need a fairly high cutting speed and multi-flute cutters work best. I think in the USA you would by it under the brand name Delrin. HTH.

The router build is what got me subscribed, and you haven’t let me down since!

I come back to your videos every now and then and I still get new advice and inspiration from you. I learned that sketchbook is still free and so I immediately downloaded it. The mini tutorial on engraving is great and this channel continues to inspire me and make me wish I owned a mill

Your work, video content and editing are super!

Congrats on getting involved in Wintergatan's MMX. Get ready for a huge jump in subscribers!

I just want to tell you, and Alex, how much I have enjoyed these videos. I have been subscribed to both channels for a long time. To see a pair of my favorite channels collaborating validates my good taste in KZfaq consumption; you both rock. Thank you both for the entertainment and enlightenment.

Loved the pasta machine in the closing shot....😎👍

Mesmerizing as always! Great stuff.

Thank you SO MUCH for a behind the scenes video!

The computer program that draws, handles, and gave birth to SVG's is Inkscape, and it is, and has allways been free (and open source). I actually used for all the figures of my Phd thesis. ¡Viva el software libre Este Viejo Tony!

As always, another fun informative video! Thanks TOT!

Make: This Old Tony. Model: Pasta Machine TOT-0001. :-P

It’s amazing how your speaking tone, video production quality, and sense of humor have improved versus your videos from 3 or 4 years ago. Awesome!

This one was knocked out of the park.. Thank you for all the effort. No idea what the day job is. Regardless, thank you.

The spindexer... i have no idea why, but i get excited every time i see one...

I didn't know Tony could draw, now I feel even more inadequate. Thanks! 🙃

Thanks TOT, no only I enjoy all your videos but you introduced me to the Alex FGC channel. I really liked it.

13:27 Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is an XML-based vector image format for two-dimensional graphics with support for interactivity and animation.

This collaboration with the French guy is awesome. Amazing work. Thanks by Scketchbook tip!

Awesome video! Congratulations!!

another entertaining and educational video--keep them coming. i ESPECIALLY like that you took the time to explain your software suite. i really like knowing what people successfully use to accomplish their projects. Learning something that may be 'freeware', but doesn't actually play with other software or devices is useless, and when someone makes it all come together i know what path i need to take.

Looking forward to next week's build!

Hi-lariously informative. And alex french dude cooking is such a splendid channel. I make virtually nothing but mac&cheese with some sort of protein additive but I still binged a ton of videos and subbed after seeing this rebuildening

sadly i am not a native speaker, but this dad joke filled channel is pure comedy gold 😊 i have no lathe and i am never going to buy one, but for reasons this is super interesting stuff to watch

Thanks TOT...You are ever entertaining.

You do some really Amazing work!!!

Your videos are always fun to watch - truly entertaining.

I was sent here from Alex, and i’ve gotta say... your videos are absolutely brilliant!

Inkscape is an open source vector image editing software that saves in svg. It can also save as a dxf, which a lot of other machines can interpret as G-code for ingraving.

It's a good day when This Old Tony uploads. Shout out to Alex the French Guy! Two of my favorite KZfaqrs interacting.

What you said about the chamfer kills me lol I had a team lead at my shop tell me I needed to offset the X location of a tool that was cutting a non critical edge break on these elevator button bezels (it was an internal edge break). The tolerance was .0075 +-.0025, the CP even said it could be visually inspected, so I said screw it! Looks about right, I’ll run it. Anyway this team lead is teaching me a few things, I’m new to the shop and all, he says “hey, that edge needs to be bigger, bump it up about .0015 on X.” Sure enough of the comparator it was measuring .0047. I passed the parts onto QC, offset the machine, and moved on with my life lol

Love the changing marker!

Tony, I've used a center drill tip for engraving and had good results . Bob

Perfect, as always. Love your videos. Greetings from Germany

That holo-board is totally solid! Right on!

Tony's ramblings makes my day. Lol.

I absolutely adore your videos, everything about them, especially your jokes

I will never get tired of your videos

Full of great tips as always!

The best channel on KZfaq period Love the sharpie edits at the beginning

Awesome stuff Tony! 👍😀👊

FUSION 360: You are not a hobbyist!!! YOU are a full time educator!! Awesome!!!

"I can spot a two-thou variation in a chamfer, drunk, at night, from across a crowded room." - This Old Tony - 2018 Tony, I'm gonna remember this line. You're amazing. I'm ROFLing. If I were you, I would want this on my tombstone.

Nice movie, the fusion360 and .svg part will come in handy. Just found the same “original” pastamachine at a yardsale, i think i’m going to rebuild this one so it will suit my culinary needs! Thank you for the inspiration and laughs!

that sharpie XD, love your editing Tony!

Tony is one of those guys thats just good at everything. The bastard...

Thanks for the heads up on free Sketchbook. That will come in handy!

Excellent video! Thanks!
