“hide poor design with loud colours”. So many things made perfect sense after hearing that.

When I told my wife I was buying a welder, she asked: "what for?" Me: "Because I need to build a cart for it":

You could make a 4 hour long video of cleaning your shop floor and I would stick around for the whole thing.

Don't forget to add Ackerman steering and get the caster angles correct . . . . oh, sorry, wrong Cart video. Carry on.

I'm a sucker for a good arc shot.

"While spacing out during family time last night..."

It's exactly one year since I discovered your videos. So, in some aspect I hold you responsable for the inception of my current career. I am now a manufacturing engineer. Many thanks, you are truly inspiring!

I consider it my fatherly duty to always reply to a "guess what?" from my kids with, and only ever with, "Chicken butt". I'm playing the long game here. Glad to see I'm not alone on it!

First thing I built with my first TIG welder... a cart, in aluminium. Pro tip: leave the most visible welds 'til last... they should be the best after the practice : )

Hi Tony. I am glad to see this video. It would be even nicer to see it week erlier, when I started my own little project, to learn everything you sumarized in 16 minute video the hard way. Almost two days of trials and errors. On the positive side, I end up with similar results as in your video, so I think my senses are not that bad. Stay safe! Your fan from Slovakia

The finest welding cart I've never seen.

My evening just got better!

Golden ratio of info to humor...makes this a golden video! I just knew it, there is a common formula to videography and equipment design. Thank You Tony.

If you need thicker filler rod, just use blue tape to bundle a few together. Maybe some CA glue. (To the humor impaired out there - don't do this.)

If you don't have my money in 3 days, I will have clickspring, take his time machine parts back, and you won't be allowed to time travel anymore!!!

Excellent as always Tony. I actually learned some things that I was doing instinctually, but you verbalized them well. ATB, Robin

I recently started watching your videos and I've just been binge-watching loads of them. I love your silly editing tricks, like hammering the stock into a disc when you spun the metal bowls. And I love how even though I'm not going to be doing any of this stuff myself for a very long time since I don't have a workshop, you go into so much detail that If I started welding, you've given great advice on what current to use and adjusting it for different welds. Such useful stuff that you need that kind of experience to know about. Good stuff :)

I used a Petco shopping cart i found. The handle and solid frame and wheels cant be beat.

I'm as old as your ladder accident. Also, your tig videos have helped my amateur tig welding a lot. Love your content.

When I rewatch TOT videos I usually view it on 50% speed. Tony just sounds so much funnier that way, and the videos lasts twice as long 😆

I love that I get to learn so much from you and laugh my ass off while I’m doing it! With over 30+ years as woodworking hobbyist, I’ve been using the golden ratio for a long time. I use it as a starting point in my design and see which way it goes from there.

Watchin' any of your tig videos really makes me want to get a tig welder and learn how to use it! So much awesome information you're sharing!

As someone who wants to buy a TIG, and needs to learn, what a great build this was! Can't wait to see parts stick together! Your explanations are easily understood, thanks! Now to scrape up 2k ish for a good TIG unit! Maybe a go fund me thing.......

"That is what we call, in the industry, "confirmation bias"" -- DYING HERE 😂

You said it was getting long, but I couldn't believe it had been 16 mins already..... Can't wait for part 2, the recartening

I'm kinda new to your site, the more I watch the more I enjoy. I have to admit, you make me laugh my a** off and that's what makes it all worth it! thank you.

DAMIT, you had me laughing so hard with that "right hand" joke, my sleeping kid almost woke up :)

Your cinematography is sublime art and i could listen to you tell stories all day. About anything really. Thanks.

This is pretty much what I did at the weekend. Using my new tig welder to make a cart for it. Mine was more simplistic but still very nice to have. Good work Tony, and great to see anohter video.

This channel is absolute gold! I love your videos that are completely unrelated to my daily life and makes me better at nothing of what I do. Chicken butt!

You know what? Chicken butt was the first Dad joke I taught my daughter. She's 3 now and still loves it, but I fear the day she first rolls her eyes at it. I take comfort knowing I have TOT to come to and share the joy of this joke when that devastating day comes. Thanks Tony!

If you use a Fupa on aluminum you melt that little screen that diffuses the gas. Don't ask me how I know. 😩

He's already got four corners of the cart half built in record time. Way to go Tony! Always enjoy your videos, thanks!!!

This video is golden.

Stay golden, Tony boy

You are the best, I enjoy the humor you’re knowledgeable and a joy to listen to thanks

Outstanding craftsmanship on this weld cart... MUST SEE!

*Moves left hand*

Dear Old Tony I am not too sure why an old sailor like me loves your superb channel, almost Aussie humor and obvious intellect, but I do and I hope you keep it it coming. Cheers Mate

Another fantastic video! I'm really liking the tig info/arc shots; & your chart is golden. Thanks!

I can't explain how happy it made me that you timed the placement of the Chicken and the arrow pointing to it's butt when you said "chicken" (*chicken appeared*) "butt" (*arrow pointing to the butt*). Well done!

All my favs...Tony, Jodi, Diresta...now if we can get you all with Matt Cremona, and Eric at SMA... you could be the team to make a walnut race car that doubles as a food truck!

I got really excited when I saw a new video from old Tony, happy to see I’m not alone on this one

Awesome cart 😉

I've said it before, you make me want a TIG welder! Looking forward to seeing the cart build. 👍

Love the cart so far! The chalk outline was fearsome! I can see it....

I watch most of Jody's videos, but I really like the way you explained this stuff. The way you went about doing a test piece and tried to find the amperage is much like how I do. Get a baseline, start a bit cold and add heat until you get where you want. Wish I could find cold rolled cutoffs around me. Finding steel suppliers is tough.

Imho this is the best channel on KZfaq. I learn more from this channel than all the others I subscribe to put together and I love the way you produce, edit and put your videos together. It's awesome. I just wish there was more videos more frequently but then I didn't say the channel was perfect. It's very darn close though.

I haven't stupidly laughed so hard at a video in a long time... your dumb humor got me every time. Not only super exciting to watch for a beginner, it was very informative! Thanks to Practical Engineering for sending me your way. On to part 2!

Thank you Toni for my regular dose of good humor! :) Your videos are interesting and so entertaining!

This Old Tony should do a Podcast or talk-show kind of deal. I'd tune in just to listen while I shop for machines and tools I'll never be able to afford.

I just hope you know how much we appreciate your work and videos. The chicken butt moment absolutely got me and I ended up hurting my neck laughing too much. Thanks for sharing your talent and wit with the world.

you are one of the best source for Idiots like me, you explain everything really easy so I dont feel ashamed that im clueles about welding or general machining. Thanks for posting and keep up!

So good to finally see this video. The wait was sooooo long didn't think I could hang in there, but alas sweet "tot" back at the mic! Great videos! And I am a carpenter!!

Tony, I just discovered you... I know zip about welding but I LOVE your sense of humor and appreciate your talent at what you do. I am subscribed! Who knows I may pick up the craft... um... after I learn to solder.

damn its the best channel, i could watch it almost forever(till my beer in fridge ends), but boy how i wish i have this shop and tools

I really appreciate your videos and your sense of humor... Thank you

Great stuff Tot, looking forward to the 2nd part.

Damn i LOVE the tig welding videos that you make! Please keep them up!

Perfect video to take the edge off a Monday. Thank you.

Just found you a couple days ago. I do appreciate your videos. Please keep it up.

You are hilarious. Probably my favorite channel.

I thought it was a pretty worthwhile watch despite the lack of actual cart building.

Good stuff man. Your videos never disappoint.

Always a pleasure to watch your video. 🤩

WTF, you buy a clear tig cup to watch inside and through, and the manufacturer has to put his logo on a big ass steel ring that covers up 75% ? That's bullshit.

Excellent video again (though now of course I am expecting that from you!) Well produced, nicely framed and informative as ever with your inimitable laconic humour - often copied, never equalled. Great stuff, thanks Tony.

Tony, you remind me of Chef John if Chef John were in the shop instead of a kitchen. Now you just have to say things like "But you do it however you want, You're the Melissa Joan Hart of your tig welding cart."

That amperage chart it's great I managed to learn welding really fast with the help of this video Now I make costume metal gates

I took the challenge of making ideal eye sores to heart and have mastered the process with amazing repeatability, making me a master eye sore builder.

Whoooaaa. I've only ever seen stick and wire-feed welding on steel. It's crazy how much cleaner TIG welding looks without the slag (?) stuff from flux. Also, I just encountered this channel after lurking a bit on the Skookum subreddit. I don't know what language you're speaking in most of these videos, but this is fascinating all the same.

Another nice video, Tony. I enjoyed it.

Tony. This is all your fault. My new TIG/PLASMA/STICK welder arrived yesterday. Not a fancy AC job like yours but one I hope to learn how to do half decent welds with. Used to use O/A gas a lot and considered myself quite good at it. Tig will be something new. Thanks for the lessons. I've learned a lot without even turning it on.

This stuff is so funny, the time flew by.

I laughed so hard at the “golden” joke. Your videos are so funny!

Haha man I love ur vids. Informative yet funny!! Keep up the good work!

Dude! Love your videos. You're awesome.

Greatest cart design ever.

For doing aluminum, try ac voltage and use a lanthinated tungsten with a needle tip. Adjust the pulse and frequency, really beautiful welds. Those inverter welders are fun.

I know nothing about tig and can’t mig for toffee but I couldn’t stop watching! Nicely done

Oh man, those cups are PRETTY. I didn't know this was a thing.

That cup looked pretty sick

I wasn't ready for that chicken butt joke, spat tea everywhere. Thanks Mr Tony

May not have built the cart, but you did cover a lot of current vs. weld characteristics tips. Great Job!

Nice cart but the casters are a bit .... Just woke up - strange dream about a welding cart. Great description of a cold weld. I always learn something in your videos without the pain I usually get when thinking. Please keep the camera rolling.

That rule about 40amps per mm, as a welder i've always been taught that it's 25-30 pr mm :)) just wanted to share, we all weld diffrently ^^

Excellent as usual!!!

Perhaps a glazed macguffin. Sam and max did a PSA on this

He's right.. This machine is GOLDEN!

Loving your channel, saw the usual 1 amp / .001 rule annnnnnnd for tigging in the sheet metal shop 50% of the machines are set to 150 amps, 20% of the guys are set to 310 amps and the rest 100-120, all for 0.060 crs. Quick tacks are more reliable with higher amps and take less time and have less chance of distortion and burn through, and some of the super fast guys can run a bead much faster at higher settings. Also less time fiddling with the machine :P

I love your videos. I've gotta build a cart for my everlast mig welder.

A Suburbia reference? That's a deep pull my man. Well played.....

Your sense of humor is awesome hahaha

Your humor slays me so hard every time. Oh, tony.

I love it! Cheers for sharing mate :)

I'm not sure whether to take notes on welding or comedy, both are gold. Maybe @jimmydiresta could make a princess castle cart with a braised brass bridge for the trolls to live under.

I have had the sticking problem. Good info.

Great video, thanks for uploading it!
