Fancy Pants Clamps!! 

Come on ToT, you clamped them, now pin them!

I love how he gave you his trademarked Subscribe Easter egg to include in your videos lol

I have to say I was amazed by this gear system. It's incredible and uses all available space for the lever. My dad is a mechanical engineer. I was always more of automation and electronics guy, loved to chase electrons more than having fun with screws. But to be a good tinkerer, you have to keep an eye or two on other stuff :D I hope you will invite Mr Robert Murray-Smith for some next year fun😉 It is wonderful to see this community of makers and science propagators developing. Merry Christmass and a happy New Year to all! 🎅

I'm blown away by that gear-hinge design!

He is edits were brilliant 👌💯🤙

I shoulda commented this on the main video, but those pyramid grippers look truly Festo-inspired

I want to buy whatever Super Strength power bank is that you used for it! Lol

It made it unscathed through shipping.

Nice😮

Super and fabulous

Good

I came to say much the same. Lifting that bench with it was incredible! Who knew it was so strong! I’m sure Emily the Engineer loved seeing this. Loved the Sound effects and lifting the kid off his feet for his chocolate 🤣👍🇬🇧

oh 100%. that absolutely made my day 😅

The SYNERGY. The SYNERGY.

Oh THAT'S WHAT THE SOUND IS? Amazing.

Wait until he watches Emily's video and realizes he can take all the groceries inside in one go.

thanks RichJ!

Another richardj here! And I get a special feeling every time I see a Tony video! Keep them coming!

I love it when TOT puts out new content!

And this episode is particularly important for me personally. I've been looking for a way to clamp my fancy pants!

Welcome to the new guy!

go watch the movie called "Another Earth"

"Makes" an ipod

And what about the sense of humor sprinkled throughout the episodes 😂

and comedian 😀

I've no idea how good a machinist he is -- and consequently I can't evaluate him as a teacher either. But damn, he makes some entertaining videos.

he might be old but he knows a thing er 2.

I genuinely can't tell if he engraved "subscribe" onto that one clamp, or just did an amazing job of editing it on.

thanks! and fingers crossed!

@@ThisOldTony Robot fingers at that

Great work. Wow!!! I went to see her reaction and it was great!!!

Woohoo!

Grippers crossed.

And the box took it to 12! Top and bottom machined out. 👍🇬🇧

I thought for sure he was making custom glitter for the gift decoration

But what should we call it? Pinch Nut? Split Nut?

@@Itsa_Mearod between nuts 😉

​@@Itsa_MeaSplitty Pinch Nuts

@ Itsa_Mea - Deez.

An ER collet?

It would turn out that Tony is an absolutely decent machinist and tinkerer but a world class production manager.

Tony's clamps were for Becky. The claws came from Emily the Engineer :-)

@@egodreas Ha, thanks for the correction. 😊

Tony valmisti käytettäviä työkaluja ja sai vasta lahjaksi muovi lelun 😣

@@mikamajlund3622 Tonylla oli hauskaa, Emilyllä oli hauskaa, molempien yleisöillä oli hauskaa. Maailma on parempi paikka ja kaikki voitti. Asioiden arvo ei ole aina yksioikoinen.

And if you only watch Emily's, everyone made hands!

tis the season to squeeze!

This is true. I am surprised not many are saying this.

​​@@ArunBasilLalWell, it's kind of in bad taste given that ToT has the advantage of years of metalworking and machining experience, which means his projects naturally align with the type of design that society sees as high quality. They've all made projects that are in line with their sub field of making, that really shouldn't be surprising or something to try and rank them on

@@bosstowndynamics5488 yeah, but not even bothering to properly clean up your 3D prints? Like all the fuzz on the spreader jaws? Just in poor taste IMO

@@bosstowndynamics5488 i.e 14:22

​@@Renee_R343think Emily spent longer designing and building hers than Tony did his because of two things - Tony's thing exists already. Tony has years of experience as a machinist. Tony made a machinist clamp. Emily made an arm. Materials wise, Tony used some spare brass and steel knocking about his shop. Emily used a bunch of plastic. Cost wise I wouldn't be surprised if it was fairly close. Tony had plenty of time to focus on finish, Emily spent hers designing the actual thing first. Now you value a machinists clamp more than a plastic third arm, which is fair. But effort and cost is probably about the same.
