Summer's over & back in the garage: stretching the old muscles with a "quick" CNC part to repair a broken landing net. ---- Music: South Of The Border - Audionautix
I told mine to start walking. Should save me a little fuel. If @Thisoldtony had only uploaded a 30 or 40 min video, the kids could have had enough time to make it the full mile and a 1/2.😐😂
I’ve got your kids. They are safe with good people who watch this old Tony. Besides the busses aren’t running of course , new video and all. You can pick them up at the junkyard at8 . You know where it is.
@@practicalplinking6133I happen to toot both horns. Inherited a six meter long sailboat from the mother of my girlfriend. Thank god it is a polyester one and I have enough space in my own building for it. I guess that qualifies me as a "boat owner" but not a "boat guy"....
@@ThisOldTony absolutely! I look forward to the video on CNCing a new fabric net! Here is the real question though. If you split in half and make the missing pieces, do you still only have 1 net?
@@ThisOldTony After so many upgrades I am the not-so-proud owner of a CNC of Thesues. If it can a 4x8 sheet, maybe it shouldn't be called a 3018 cnc anymore...
The true Spirit of the original net is kept when you repair it or replace parts as ling as you don't replace everything at the same time. At least that's how a drunk japanese bicycle mechanic explained it to me a long time ago or, more likely, how i understood it as he might have said something else entirely me being not fluent in Japanese, much less in _drunken, slurred japanese._ or maybe i was drunkier and it was an 🦦 working on that bike for 🎏 that was talking to me...
Went from having a bit of a meh day to all smiles because a ToT video appeared in my feed. This certainly takes having dealt with Helene all night long more tolerable.
Told the wife, sorry, you've got to hold on for <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1037">17:17</a>, TOT is on. Anyhow, I will be sleeping on the couch tonight and a half gallon of rockey road and a bouquet of flowers. Thanks much for the video, and I hope you have a wonderful day
Hey! Good to see you again! And you just pointed out that I missed many opportunities for engineering when I used to go fishing. But I didn’t do ‘engineering’ then. And maybe engineering now is why I have no time for fishing. Man, I think I’m confused. And fishless. Thanks anyway. Les 🇬🇧
On conveniental vs climb cutting for specifically your situation, you can use either depending on how well your gibs are tightened and how little wear your ways have. Your machine has ball screws so the whole worrying about chatter I don't see being much of an issue, if you had a lead screw or gear rack machine then you'll start to get issues, depending on cutting conditions with either type of cut. However with your well put together CNC setup I don't see much of an issue going either way, mainly just with aluminum sometimes having terrible finishes when you conventional cut it, especially with adaptive paths
On behalf of everyone who likes to spend hours, fixing throwaway items, using industrial size machine tools. Thanks for being our hero. St ToT. Patron saint of shed dwellers the world over.
I’ve been binge rewatching your videos the last couple days and I can only watch your videos 20 times or so before I start zoning out. This is a huge relief.
I'm coming late in life to fishing so I got one of these folding nets for my birthday because I told everyone I wanted to start fishing. Thanks to this video I now know how to fix my net if I ever go out with the intent of wasting a day and decide instead to use the net for attacking land animals. Thanks Tony.
oh boy, who is Uri Tuchman - a new subscription perhaps?? Oh, nope, I'm already subscribed to him, just didn't recognize the name. I think I subscribed pretty recently
Most Excellent 👌 Next time you fix that net, try loading the prusa up with some extra fancy reinforced filament and see if a strong 3d print can match the aluminum one. Maho vs prusa 😉
Oh, let me tell you about that one time I CNC'd the broken-off half of the trigger of a weed-wacker to help out a friend... I still have the .slvs CAD files to remind me of the pain.
Was it a royobi, with the orange plastic trigger? I have one of those with a busted trigger too - my dad epoxied a sorta-kinda replacement to it many years ago.
The power is out after hurricane Helene, my phone only has 11% battery and TOT drops a new video…of course I’m going to watch it. This will be a bright spot in an otherwise crummy day. Thanks Tony!
Okay,, I'm an old codger and it's past my bedtime, but bed can wait for ToT. Nice repair, Old T, but I wonder how long it is going to take for the second plastic part to fail. Tacitly, I am wondering why you didn't just remake all of the plastic parts in metal. But then, I wonder about a lot of less relevant things than that, too. In any case, I send my thanks all the way from Germany for another educational and entertaining 17.17 minutes.
What's happening? T.O.T and AvE upload in the same week? Is this heaven am? i de-alive? Or is there some other reason? T.O.T and AvE are the same person? Borthers? ex-Sisters? (who knows these days? shrug) I hope i am not dreaming. Nobody can 5tig that smooth.. it must an hallucinification 🥴
Summer's over, I have fixed broken finger... almost the video's title, and as I can't get to do anything in the workshop, I'm watching videos! Thanks, TOT!
We enjoy the company too, Tony! Thank you. At this point, after the years of living "on the Internet", one acquires a sense for places where you allow yourself to let your soul roam free, unattended and unconstrained. Just receiving joy. Your videos are such places. It's like with moving house or traveling. You find yourself in a new, strange, alien place. The first night there comes along. You are laying down, staring into the darkness, with the blanket held under your chin. Slightly worried look on your face, even if there is no one to see it. All around you are the new unfamiliar smells, shadows, sounds and you are... not exactly afraid but not feeling safe and comfortable either. Maybe in a week or so it'll be ok, but for now, you feel vulnerable and raw and exposed and lonely. At such time it really helps to have an anchor to a safe place. A tiny talisman. A pebble from your old garden. Your kid's drawing. Your comfy childhood book. Or This Old Tony's presence. The voice, the humor, the feel, the predictable hand movements. Man, you are awesome, do you realize that? I know that it's apparent from the number of your subscribers, but I want to make it clear Tony. You are really, truly appreciated ❤ Thank you for being here for all those years! PS: I bought your t-shirt in XL size and then I lost weight. The fact that it's now too big to wear is the only single negative consequence of the weight loss 😆 But I can always buy an updated size...
Hey! 'Ol tone. Incredible to me that it's been... what... a century since you last had a post and STILL you have OVER a million subscribers! Not only that, you do put out a post, completely off topic from what we normally see 'outa ya, and within literally 14 minutes you've got 14,000 views and 2.4 thousands of 'em actually take the extra effort of an extra click to "like" it. Yes, absolutely incredible. Humbling isn't it? [Humbling enough to start back up posting again?]
Oh, and just BTW - I'd a been here earlier; but, I was driving and between two cops going10 inna 35 MPH area. The one in front seemed to be watchin' his screen and didn't care about generating a line....... honking didn't help!
It's a good day when a new TOT video comes out. Without faily it always puts me in a good mood watching your stuff, Tony. Also, kudos for really going through the CNC part in detail, genuinely feel like I understand it just that little bit more. You explain things so well, it's actually insane.
Its SO ironic that a TOT video about fishing nets would come out today of all days. Earlier today I was thinking ‘I should watch some youtube videos’. And here is one. And I watched it. What are the odds of that?
Keep the 1st one around for when the 2nd one breaks. That way, you have replacement parts lined up... EDIT: looking forward to the video where you replace the plastic part that breaks itself against this new aluminum part. And then the 3rd video where you replace the other arm after IT breaks against the 2nd aluminum part. You're going have an epic trilogy by the end...
