Last installment of the CNC router build. Anyone interested in just the rubber band rifle.. starts at 26:00. ThisOldRouter CAD: drive.google.c... Royalty-Free Music from RU-vid's Creation Tools. "The Engagement" by Silent Partner.
+This Old Tony just some feedback on the E-stop: you really need a bigger button and it really needs to be in a more accesible place, 'cause an E-stop, you have to be able to WACK the life out of that thing a million times within a fraction of a second. Otherwise: really nice job!
Incredible build. and then its topped of with, "Knew i wanted to make something for my boy..." I'm thinking, a key chain, toy screwdriver with his name on... nope. "MULTI-SHOT LEVER ACTION RUBBER BAND RIFLE" :') this is the best channel on YT, by far.

This build is amazing but what really sold it for me is you creating gaps to eliminate pinch points. It shows a level of thoughtfulness that is uncommon to see.
Loebane It seems obvious with regards to industrial equipment and it was nice to see the same thought process carried over to the home shop..., Remember kids, your hands don't have any spare parts.
+Metal Tips and Tricks (Dale Derry) Thanks Dale -- rumor around the web has it that MT&T has got some exciting things up its sleeve for the new year, too -- care to confirm/deny? :)
@@ThisOldTony Hi can you do a video about all of your tool I know this month has been hard for you with your fathers passing. I would like to know your metal marking tools and where you get all of your metal I know about metal depot but that is it. :)
dear ToT I am watching this series for like forth or fifth time since the time I discovered your channel with video where you made rifle stock... and every time your channel inspires me, especialy when I see the amount of work and detailing you put into your projects... I definitly know that this is one of the nicest and coolest channels. I never knew I was into machining until I discovered you and uncle Bumblefuck and started watching everything from other perspective... other than just lazy consumerism. Things that you make with your hands (and tools) are just amazing and pleasant to eyes... Thank you...
Tony. Just binge watched the 3 sessions. Couldn’t take my eyes and ears off you... you have amazing all round skills. Thank you sooooo much for taking the time to design, make, video, edit and present the whole project..! Will never forget it..! Thank you..! Tony for president...!!
Well I'm speechless and a little wet eyed. The effort that went into this is beyond my imagination. If TOT had been around in the 60s working for NASA, we'd be on the moon a lot sooner.
I love your videos more than any other machining or fab ones I've found on RU-vid and I think you are a great person and father on top of that! Keep up the fantastic work!
You’re both lucky for being so close and being so much fun to each other lives! Great to see you care for your family while creating great stuff!!! Watching this now, 7 years later, makes me wonder how bigger and creative is your son now! Thank you!
As my wife watched her cooking shows, your video gave me the real appetite. Something she doesn't understand but I'm sure the other 100k+ viewers of your video do. Perhaps the best I've seen to date, an amazing talent in so many dimensions!
I do not understand how you don't have a million plus subscribers . Simply amazing work! Plus your editing with the young one makes my heart smile.. Thank you!
And you call this a hobby? Man, I really need to get into knitting.This is by far the greatest thing somebody built and showed online in this good quality. Thanks for sharing.
As a new TOT fan I started going back watching all the older videos... This series about the CNC router just screams "go big or go home", and the lever action rubber band rifle just cemented that fact... Great job! It was a pleasure to watch...
I was building a cnc but after seeing all the tooling you used to build this incredible beast I quit. I have all the software, electronics and about half the materials but you have crushed my dreams. Amazing Rig! Keep up the next level work bro!! EDIT: I printed, etched, hand drilled my own PCBs, soldered everything up and even made my own PSU (all work great) and you, you made a damn gun!! You're my hero
Why quit? I don't think that welding of frame is so complicated. just buy tig welder. I am planning to make similar CNC. Already found fixture table 600x360 mm. I hope this winter will weld frame Screws, nuts, bearings are available for purchase. Some custom mounting details i can order in local plasma cutting shop. (or cut with angle grinder) Also when you will assemble first version of router it will help make parts for itself:)
I guess there is nothing more satisfying, than that smile, and that look in his eyes, from your kid getting a present!! EPIC! Great machine, a dream to have in a small workshop!!
Hi Again I forgot to tell you what a skilled craftsman you are,, I'm 70 yrs, been working with metal most of my life, so I really appreciate your work,Mike
Thank you for all your efforts. Your narration, video recording style and editing kept me engaged throughout this series. Your narration of your design thoughts and reasons for doing what your doing gave us an insight to your design and fabrication skills. Your the complete package. Please keep up the great work. Thank you again!
Tony; I must say Brother Your interactions with your son are simply heartwarming. The obvious Joy the lil man feels towards his father each and every time he looks your way.. It's clear he idolizes you, and my guess is it's not a one way thing. Thank you for sharing not only your build , but your family as well.
My favorite part of the A-Team when I was a kid was when they'd have a construction montage before the big fight scene at the end. This is so much better.
Honestly, the best three videos for How Its Made on RU-vid I have seen. All TOT content is brilliant. A Well Done to you Tony for keeping us all entertained. Thanks.
I miss content like this from you, tony. And I’ve watched all of your videos maybe 3-4 times over. I can see your style is becoming more experimental and good for you if that’s the direction you want or need to go, but man, this is just the peak of what I want from this channel for me. Thanks for creatin’
I just spent my Sat afternoon watching all 3 Videos you posted on this. It was another great day for me and I thank you Tony for that. The Lord has Blessed us both . I too have a son, Im glad yours has a Father who Loves him like I love mine. Your skills and talents are always a joy to get time to watch. I'll bet your wife has a hand in your videos, Like many others out there in you-tube land It's good to see so many skilled people sharing their knowledge with the rest of us. Thank You Tony, and Son.
Very inspiring, I've always wanted to build one and you have just renewed my motivation. Also sir, you have the most diverse skill set/knowledge base of any one on youtube that I've ever seen.
30:25 I see what you did there, my friend, i saw right trough your vicious plan: make some kids so they could do your sanding! I was there as well... But beware! Next thing you know, they're asking for a table saw and a router for birthday so they can build a bandsaw! Serious request from 12 years old girl!
Reminds me of when I was taught by my Pop, we would work together in the shop and that's where I learned how to use tools and build things. Great set of videos Tot. Thumbs up.
Ok, so my wife watched this whole build with me. Now that’s a testament to your quality of work and cinematography!! She loved the ending and so did I.
Thank you TOT, I have a 63.5 year old (In inches 2.5 yr old) and honestly I am filled with joy watching your vids. Cannot tell you how much your DIY CNC build is truly the most informative I have found, and I LOVE your choice of its first project. Thank you
For some reason... This is the best diy I seen for years.. I just love your comments... I love how you found a theme tune that lasted 34 min ( or I missed it was going in loop. ).. but the machine is really something.. and the the ending with your boy was just to good. Thank you..God bless you.
Ow! What a dad! Builds a heavy-duty CNC router to make his son a rubber band rifle. I will always think fondly of those times my dad had me join him on so,e project or other. Never anything this exotic, but he was building his children with what was at hand. I think our most exotic was a duck-boat.However they turn out, you gave ‘em what you could. Hopefully they’ll take it and run with it and be good people with awesome skills! Best Wishes.....keep ‘em coming.
Just going back thru your old vids and I’M HOOKED!! Very well made videos and I love the little comments like “ somewhere in the middle” 😂😂 you know that thing is bang in the middle. This is RU-vid at its very best and your humour 👌👌
Happy New Year Tony! I wish I could hit the like button 278 times!!! I actually clapped at the end when you son walked out the gate, then melted down and ran in my shoes! ~¿@ Honestly I'm a bit at a loss for words right now because your videos always touch so many parts of my being. Your engineering prowess lights the candle of inspiration, sharing shop time with your son and stills of priceless moments is beyond words, and your humor and fun side permeate the "Force"..."bad Robot productions" LOL... My Heartfelt thanks for sharing all this with us! Rubber band guns...oh My! Dad built them with my brother and I then me with my son, then Gpa, me and my son built some Long Tom multishot ones together...now when My Gson is a bit older I am seeing a gattling gun in the future. Yours is exquisite! VFD...Should be fine in your beautifully laid out control box. I had 4 large Baldor's running in a similar layout with a hinged acrylic access. When/if yours croaks, I hear the Hitachi's are pretty good now and not quite as pricey? Most impressive build I've seen in a long time....so much for loss of words, eh? Thanks Tony!! ~PJ
+pjsalchemy Thanks PJ, always a pleasure to hear from you. The only downside to a 4 year old and a rubber band gun -- that I hadn't seen coming -- is that I now have to reload it for him every 3 seconds!
Very nice finished product Tony. Looks nice and beefy. I've been a machinist, programmer, production engineer for forty years, and still enjoy making precision parts out of scrap stock. Yours is the first CNC router that I've seen that looks rugged enough to machine real production parts. Bravo !!!
wow that is absolutely awesome. you should definitely make your own brass henry big boy copy. I bet you could make a fine firearm if it were legal where you are. You make this look all too easy!
I'm sure he would absolutely love to. I think this rubber band gun is the only legal way for him to scratch that itch in making something similar (and that doesn't risk being removed by RU-vid)
Your boy is lucky to have such a talented father. My father gave up making stuff long, long ago. I hope to pass on some skills to my son. Thanks for the inspiration.
hello Old Tony, I watched all videos in one sitting, I have to tell you that I found these video so informative and interesting that I couldn't stop watching until I finished all. You style if delivering information was so smooth and workmanship skill were far superior to those so far I have seen. All I can say I'm very very impressed. I have bought a CNC router from China but was never able to get it working. that was the reason I have been watching these videos. I m sure thousands of people must have got benefited from these great videos.
Tony, It may have taken a while to build, but you now have your first CNC router that works well!!! You know this will last you and your son and daughter decades of fun and satisfaction.
It's content like this that makes This Old Tony one of the top 5 content creators on RU-vid (anywhere, in my opinion). Clear, precise, funny and useful. Top notch stuff.
Ok... Everything about this is amazing. I have a few questions though. Your production values are excellent - how did you get those dolley shots of the router at the very beginning? Your camera work is generally excellent - what are you using to shoot this stuff? Your creativity in working with video is unique (I've been in TV professionally for over 20 years). You mix graphics, still and moving video and nifty special effects techniques in a very natural, visceral and often times witty way. Where did the rubber band rifle moving parts graphic come from? Was that from your CAD software? Finally, and the question most everyone wants to know... where do you find the time to do all this? Great stuff. Wow.
Thanks Alex! The opening shot was a couple of 2x4's strategically screwed into the ceiling and a 1/4" bolt holding my camera. I spun the whole rig a few times (a million?) until I got a smooth take. I use a Nikon D300s dslr. And yes, the rifle was from my CAD; I use Solidworks. Thanks for watching, glad you liked it!
This Old Tony Nice. Thanks for the reply. I thought I spotted something vertical reflected in the plexiglass, but couldn't identify it. Clever. Looking forward to more videos. And you sound a bit like Alan Alda. Mash impressions in an upcoming video? Thanks!
I got it figured out this is REALLY Ray Ramono. From the first time I heard Tony's voice, every since then I have felt like I've been listening to Ray.
Wandered over to your channel a few days ago to watch the noodle machine video and Alex's recommendation and I'm still here enjoying awesome video after awesome video. This trilogy has been my favorite and the toy gun was the icing on the cake. Just awesome.
I know this comment is more than 3 years after this series was posted, but I want to thank you for both the entertainment (dry humor is the best) and the educational experience of sharing your voyage of this build. I have always been fascinated with how things work and are made and you have ignited in me my mechanical creativity side once again. Thanks for your efforts in making your videos.
Thanks! I was really entertained by the whole process but making a rubber band gun for your son made my day. Making something like that for your kids is a great first project and really special.
Fantastic. Extraordinary level of effort and care in construction. You have convinced me of two things: 1) I would really like a CNC router, and 2) I have neither the skill nor patience to make one from scratch. 😄 Thanks so much for sharing this.
Most of these guys will never tell you the price. They want to tell you every fvcken thing but the price. '' I GOT A GOOD DEAL " or ...I got it at a good price. I guess, they figure people will say........''YOU GOT ROBBED".
It's also hard to calculate at times too. It's like most hobbies, money disappears quickly, some purchases work well, others quickly get replaced with something more suitable. Then prices on things change anyway, so an exact answer isn't really accurate for long.
Personally, I *LOVE* the fact that you included him in the process of making it. He will now always have an understanding of the time and effort it took to make it and will value it all the more.
Well I have finished my all steel DIY CNC machine based on this "This old Tony" design. I modified the design on the two supporting beams for the Y axis rails, just to have adjustment. So I joined parts by screws instead of welding. I introduced a fine adjustment by means of M6 screws for leveling, and and M8 for strong holding. When machine adjustment, looking for squareness, I do not have adjustment on XZ movement (like your machine) and I only adjust machine table and Y rails (planes XY and YZ) related to XZ plane. I have begun machining aluminum and the whole cutting process looks and sounds very well. Better than thinking I am finishing the job, I am planning now an update for motors and drivers. Thanks you This old Tony one more time for these three videos you gave us.
+1 for building the heat sink from a block, -1 for using slotted screws to mount the motor drives. Thanks for the video, great entertainment and learning.
What a class act. Your videos are some of the best I’ve seen, and I have near 40 years in the post production/broadcast industry. Thanks for sharing your talents, and for answering questions I have with regard to the “how to” of machining, welding, and wisdom. You’re a good man, Charlie Brown.
The customer's smile said it all. Great memories! I have not made my first CNC yet. My problem has been; how big? How much power? I've probably looked at more than 100 on you-tube. The one you built is more than I would ever need, but, you know, the bigger the better.
Sir, you are a father to be respected. You are a machinist to be admired. You are a teacher to be venerated. I can only remark publicly that you have the best channel on YouYube and a well-deserved following. Privately I can only offer a place to crash when your long suffering wife gets fed up with the stranger in the garage. Your unwavering pursuit of perfection is maxim for us mere mortals to eschew and we salute... This Old Tony.
This is such an awesome build, very jealous!!! Joking.. super haply that you have these abilities to share with us!!! You know you viewers very well to knownto show a build with the new CNC !! Thanks so much!!
Tony. I am a huge fan. Not only are you an amazing machinist, a huge influence, but you are one of the best story tellers on RU-vid. Your son is indeed very lucky. As we say in the UK “nice one mate!” Huge respect
What else is there to say that hasn't already been said here? Been watching your videos for what seems like ages now and they never cease to continually amaze. If ever there was a "Golden Tool" award (and I mean that in the best of all considerations) for the best and most versatile use of RU-vid you Tony, would have a mantel full of them. It does my heart wonders to see a man who knows his place with his son from the very beginning. To teach, love, and enjoy what life has to offer for this smidgen of time we get to inhabit it. I hope that, in the eyes of my son, who is now 38, I have come half as close to do doing so for him as I know you will for yours Tony..... can I call you Tony? Cuz I feel like I know you after all these years though I have a hunch that's just your stage name.... your real name is Ray Romano cuz you sound exactly like him. Before my very eyes, and way to fast, I have found myself an old man pushing 60 and wondering where the heck the time went and I NEVER sat around for any of it. Yet, it is plain to see there will not be enough time in the remainder of my years to do all the things I desire to do.... but am sure not gonna let that stop me from trying. I have spent the better part of my adult hood outfitting a 14,000 square foot shop to be a complete prototyping shop. Seems I can never settle on the amount of tools it should have. It is my desire to open the shop up in the spring of 2018 to those who have the inspirations but no resources other than the fruits of their own labor to realize them. Thereafter, it is my desire to establish a vo/tech school (a school after school as it were) for high school Juniors and Seniors and teach them purpose, skills, and responsibility in an era where it is tremendously lacking. As I have been making this push heavily for the last 7 years it seems at times I will never get there.... but I keep pushing. You Tony, continue to provide me the inspiration to do so. Thank you!
I just watched this series again and may have likely commented before. It is truly a pleasure to watch a brilliant and thoughtful mind in his element! Excellent Tony! Wow only 2k more subs and you've hit a million! Outstanding and so well deserved!
Thank you, Tony. Been stuck in a rut not wanting to invest time in Fusion, now that I have Solidworks this video series has inspired me to finish my mill CNC conversion and get down to making chips again with an excellent CAD tool at the front end! All the best!
I have same spindle and VFD working fine 2 years later with regular use. They're hit and miss some people they die quickly other people have used them for years with no issues. Excellent build.
Thank you for taking the time to provide us with these AWESOME videos. They are a perfect blend of humor, knowledge and skill. It would be great to have a video that talks about your shop in general and some the tools you find to be the most benficial/productive. Thank you from Montana.
Brilliant! (only 6 years late, which happens to me a lot...). And watching junior sanding away at the riflestock literally brought tears to my eyes (Good tears that is) :)
thats awesome . i bet your son is going too have some of the absolute best memory's of you wen he gets older . with in reason any thing he wants you can build and likely often will build for him .
