Funny I would have cut the guides in brass on the bandsaw and hand held them with my finger tips against the 20” sanding disk burned by fingers and shot the pieces into the future and just said aww Fuck it the one on there ain’t so bad. Hahah I can’t quit you.
I watch all the ToT videos at 0.25X, I want them to last as long as possible. These videos are like a glass of fine whiskey, consumed by sipping and never watered down.
All the fun - and the fact that nobody under 30 knows Max Headroom - aside, well done on the guides. Glad the thinned down blade worked (if not crashed.. ;) ). Keep us please updated how the cast iron holds up.
Yep all you need to do is put a sewing needle connected to a cone in the tool post and you could play one, as long as you had an auto crossfeed that matched the spiral size.
I discovered this channel late in the game.... In short order binge watched every video... Now I truly get upset every day when I see that a new one doesn't post... And then proceed to giggle like a schoolgirl when I see a new one in my suggestion box.... Thanks Tony.
Monday morning 4am (local time, Queensland, Australia), ready to milk cows at the dairy and a new TOT vid comes up, oh well, looks like the entire country will have to wait an extra 20mins for their milk today.......
The only type of procrastination that's approved not only by happy California cows, Wisconsin Dairy Association and the Australian Milk Men's (and Sheilas) gathering for liquid nutrition. Remember Tony Tots, drink milk that's only procrastination approved via This Old Tony. It means that the nutrients got thicker for better bones, hair, teeth and that vip of vim and vigor to be the confident big man or woman on campus.
I was dying when Keith showed up. Your cameo skits are epic. I always learn a lot and laugh myself into a hyperventilating stupor when watching this channel.
I'm just getting into machining, just finishing precision machining classes, and I can't begin to express how helpful your videos are and how much I appreciate your sense of humor and ability to keep things light and fun. Thank you for helping me through school!
[ Video Speed Controller ] browser extension/add-on lets you go up to 10x and in 0.1x increments. It also stores your preferred speed (e.g. 2.1x ) and lets you toggle between that and normal speed.
Those Startrite bandsaws are the best ever made. I have one identical to yours only mine is the 24" model. With the blade setup just right and using the fence along with a vice I can get cuts parallel to within a ten thousands of an inch! That is milling machine accuracy! I am going to make up some of the plastic inserts now so this video is great. Problem is in the UK all our nylon sheet it metric now - you can only buy it in 8mm or 10mm. I need 9mm - very annoying.
This Old Tony, on my Grob bandsaw, they come in either carbide or aluminum bronze. I've made them out of silicon bronze before too! Thanks for all the wicked videos!!
Yet another fantastic TOT video! I even caught the "Different Strokes" reference in there. "What'chu talk'n 'bout Willis?". I'm guessing Tony and I are pretty close to the same age.
Best Stefan yet. If it flew away at the speed of light, maybe you threw it away a couple of weeks ago. Or.. maybe you'll find it in a couple of weeks, I can't remember which. I'd wear a catcher's mitt around the shop for a while just to be safe.
7:36...i laughed so hard I cried!! this is the best channel on RU-vid hands down!! I always leave old Tony videos with a smile on my face and a 6011 on my mind😁... love old Tony!!!
Tony, this Video was Great Fun! Just an FWIW, The last set of guides I removed from my Band saw were 1/4 inch diameter ~junk metal~ (I could not call Stefan for exact metallurgical awareness) HOWEVER, to replace it, I used 1/4 inch diameter Carbon Fiber Rod!!! That provided "Zero Clearance" to the BandSaw Blade! (It was a baby bandsaw, only 9 inch diameter wheels, for WOOD, but I thought I would share how Nicely Carbon Fiber is for BandSaw Inserts!
Im subscribes to you Alex, but I just noticed I havent seen a video from you for ages. They dont appear in my feed unlike all the other ones. Fucking hell...
Hey Tony, loved video as usual, before Ends & Odds #2 hits the big screen. Wifeyworksalot and myself would like to extend an invitation to you, Mrs. Old Tony, and of course the Tony-Tots. We feel it's unfair that you have us over so often to hang out and watch along it should be our turn to host. But please if you would, leave meatball at home. Im not sure the litter box we have on hand can handle 4130.
Glue some Neodymium magnets in your doorstep, and he'll never make in if he's not "clean"! (First check with TOT that Meatball hasn't been put on a non-ferrous diet tho') :o)
Gosh dang Tony, those were some nice looking stick welds. I was half expecting a sloppy mess but you nailed it even on some scrap stuff that probably went in the scrap bucket.
I think my favorite thing about TOT is that when he jokes about things like putting the piece back in his bandsaw later, you know theres actually a slight chance that he would lol
Thanks for another great video Tony. It's funny what you said, I definitely would have appreciated a tap wrench today. I was on a job away from home and ended up using a four way water key to tap eight 5/16-18 holes.
I think I never commented on your videos before. I like to make witty comments on videos when possible but you have already made all the witty comments possible. I do have to say you have excellent videos and they are always a great view. Keep on keeping on.
Had the same issue the first time I tested stick welding with my HTP... forgot to disconnect the foot pedal. Made me feel better I am not the only one that's done this. Great video!
I've walked away from the NFL for several years now. It's been wonderful. Just got back from the lake. Had donuts and fed the ducks with my 6 year old. Made memories. Now I'm on the toilet, getting my Tony fix. Best day ever.
Dall Tex why go back to supporting the freaking NFL??? Get closer to family. Explore creative or tried and true ways to bond closer with loved ones. Further develop hobbies. Volunteer to help out disabled war veterans. Anything but the freaking NFL!!!!!
ThisOldTony, I love your videos. At 17:00 you were wondering if there was a crack in your blade. You should be able to use a dye penetrant/developer to inspect the blade for cracks and other indications. I am a non-destructive weld inspector at a shipyard in Virginia. You could probably do a whole video on NDT inspecting your work. Thanks for readin'.
Not that any sane person would want to do the work. But using the original from my delta 14" bandsaw as a pattern I did a green sand casting in aluminum.
Hi, I've found that I get a much better surface in plastics when using conventional milling on the CNC, especially when the part can flex a lot (the waste stock has a much nicer surface finish in the video). This can really make the difference between the entire surface being covered in strings and getting a part that doesn't need finishing/cleanup at all. Hope that saves you some work next time. Keep it up!
I have now happened to be wearing my TOT shirt when watching both of your 2 most recent videos. Do I just need to wear it every day to get you to upload more often?
I have a Shopsmith band saw converted to a metal cutter mounted on a separate table with it's own motor. The guide wore out so I did the same thing as you did and it was a tad to low. I added two pieces of tape to the underside and it brought it up until level. Just a suggestion.
I saw the saw teeth going the wrong way, but figured you were going to run it in reverse in back gears ...... Then the spindle started ..... Nooooooo . The horror . The horror ..... Most guys would have made sure that footage ended up on the cutting room floor, but it's awesome that you made it a learning experience for your viewers. You continue to impress me my friend. 😀
na, i suck at welding, just quoting AVE, for me it would be "a grinder, new weld, grind, weld, grind , grind, and paint, more paint will make me the welder I aint
@@mr.h3377 Well all I can say is you've never used a plasma welder if you suck at stick welding......with plasma you never get a bad weld ....ever......makes a gentleman out of a bum.
I bought a bunch of similar round drops (10-12” round or so) at my local steel supplier. Not sure where they came from or what they were intended for but at one point they had a pallet of them. I’ve used them for bases for my Wilton vise & my bench grinder pedestals. I have about 4 more left for future projects. I did fill the gouge with weld as you did, it’s like it was never there.
Tempted to reply regarding youtube / google but I'll get all my accounts suspended and the FBI contacting authorities in my country. Its a hard life if your are not politically correct and also need/want to use content undisturbed.. Soo you keep your fingers from typing anything non PC compliant.
You make me want to learn metal working. Even knowing close to nothing about what you do and have no real world usage for it, your videos are in my top 5 of enjoyable videos to watch. I so much need to expand my work-annex.
Hey Tony, Just a quick tip for ya...If you don't want offending parts on your bandsaw, just make sure and cut them out of the middle of the blank! Oh yeah....one more thing.... an easy way to de-burr your plastic part is just to set it in the sunshine and come back to it once it warms up a bit. glad I could help
Depends on the goose, Canadian geese well metric, domestic geese that's determined by your location. Dont forget the blues or grey geese or snow geese. After thought, I guess all geese could be considered trans measure. Side note one of the loudest sounds I've ever heard, a buddy and I were out doing some goose hunting and we had a group of about 5,000 geese come in right on top of us it took them an hour to land, anyway we were laying 10 feet apart from each other and we couldn't yell loud enough to say when. it was deafening. Then some idiot driving around in a truck drove by fired at a stray goose and just like that they were gone we arrived at 4am to set up, it was 5pm ben there all day waiting. Dump ass skyblaster. He wasnt even close enough to hit it.
My question is how loose does the goose have to be before you need to check it with a standard? Side note where does one purchase metric goose standards? Asking for a friend...
Stephan as Max Headroom.... pure genius! That’s a RU-vid channel I would love to see. Stephan Headroom!!!! And don’t think I’m not going to try to invent the micrometer that plugs into the usb like that now 🤣
Dear This Old Tony, I greatly enjoyed seeing your band saw slice through that hot rolled steel like butter. But then I thought, I've never seen This Old Tony use any butter. I find this to be an incongruous sequence of truthfulness of the worst kind. Sincerely, Admiral Bottomefeldt, Rear. Her Royal Majesty's Naval Butter.
The original guides for the Startrite saws were made of meehanite - cast iron in other words. People also get good results with Lignum vitae. I have the same saw as you - thank you for showing how to make the guides. Now all I need is a surface grinder!
Your surface grinders going the wrong direction(unless you have a right hand nut on the spindle, which ive never seen). Love your videos! Keep them coming!!
I have heard about this channel for a long time and only watched snippets, as i mainly do things with tree parts. Today i watched this entire video and I'm hooked,subscribed,and happy : ) Thank you
Could glue a piece of paper or two to the underside of those band saw inserts to get the height you want. Also, do you have a rotary table? Maybe mount the slitting saw blade on that? Maybe you don't have enough clearance on the grinder for that, though.
Jay Philip Williams, for some strange reason I was hoping to see the new rotary weld table mashed onto the surface grinder just to have it all fly across the room and traumatise the cat!!
But who's to judge? The micrometer. The dial indicator. The caliper... etc.. A person has to have standards or there is no way to tell truth from fiction... or tooth from friction.
You can harden small bits of tool steel using a burner and an enclosure made of a couple of bricks. Heat it to color, then quench. Relax in a regular kitchen oven to temper. It's not precise in temp, but it's good enough for lathe bits (and, presumably, saw blade inserts...)
quite happy to stuck around at this one! Tony you become better and better every video. I can't thank you enough for doing this, it is a real highlight for me every time you upload a new video.
