Shoot'n The Poop #5 - Just Plain Random 

I demand an extended Shoot'n the Poop episode six full of nothing but tales of the steel mill.

Hey Tony, I used to run lathes that would take big boring bars like that. Was in a brass factory in nz, 1.5 ton bushes from the foundry, we would clean them up to go to the cnc shop. The lathes were 6m long over 6 foot tall and max rpm of about 300. Was a fun job, used to fill 4 or 5 44 gal drums of chips a day!

Funniest machine shop guy ever! And a real good teacher.

The hip replacement sound was the best thing I've heard this week :P

WHERE'S THE COMMENT ABOUT NEWTON INVENTING THE APPLE

My mother, who was a pioneer woman from NE Wyoming would be proud. She too ate the entire apple. No waste, no mess, and I could assume, there are apple trees growing today as a result of biological spreading of seeds by that great woman.

That's no boring bar, that's an exciting bar! :D

can you give us a walk around at your scrap yard

Hey Tony, RawGage here. Even though this video is older than my unborn child, I fully enjoyed the aimless banter. As I sat on my porch, sipping my scalding hot cup of black New England coffee, I found a bit of inspiration to comment on your... ah, “comments.” To get your limited edition DSLR (and by ‘limited’ I mean lacking addition features) camera to be viewable from a 6’+ height, a simple sturdy articulating arm with a mild steel clamp that mounts right to your tripod beneath your camera could hold a polished piece of flat stock chromoly; or just a regular ol’ mirror would work too. Any who, it was just a thought as I day dreamed of having this conversation with you as you made the shot and you gave me the flat-lined look of obvious discontent... and I just smiled back like some foolish anime hero that just saved the day! Thanks as always for putting up with my banter and please know I love the channel 😁👍

Love your humor. You and that Canadian guy are the only two that actually make me laugh. I even learn something which my shop teacher said would never happen (thanks mom). Anyway carry on.

Thanks for the calculator humor, appeases the 12 year old in me.

You're 100% right I think about video vs audio quality. A professionally lit, HD video with bad audio is unwatchable. A 244p video with good audio is still watchable.

Awesoem as always! 👊🏼⚒✌🏼

Those big boring bars are used quite often in oilfield machining. The head is dovetailed onto the large bar to facilitate changing from roughing, finishing and threading cemented carbide tool holders and not have to lift the whole kit and kaboodle out of the lathe and have 4 big bars laying about. OIL Country Tubular Goods (OTCG), I used them mostly to rework tool joint hangers. Love your channel. Thanks, Semper Fi.

Besides being completely enjoyable to watch, I always come away with learning something from watching your videos. Sure glad I found your channel. Thanks.

Steel mill cobble... a new nightmare I had never heard of till just now. Thanks Tony! My world was lacking just a touch of menace... I can now be duly anxious at all times.

I dunno what it is but I find these extremely entertaining. Highly enjoyable, a pleasure to watch.

Thank you for your time, effort, and sense of humor. I know very little about machining metals, but thanks to you I am learning.

Man I remember I had a ball turner once, let me tell you. Mine got real big too, and after a few years of almost daily use, sure enough her pivots went out and her arms got all loose. You couldn't keep her from chattering, loud and non stop. Even after that I kept her around and from time to time, in real rough situations, I'd rustle her up and put her back into action. But after awhile I just had to let her go. She eventually ended up with my cousin Sheldon. They've got a couple of kids, nice little place down by the lake. They do a lot of snowmobiling.

THANK YOU for providing metric units!

Hey Tony! I found your channel a few days ago and have been bingeing your videos since 😁. Love the content, really great stuff! I currently work maintenance in a steel mill. Dirty and amazing.

Hey Tony, about twenty years ago I watched a guy doing a demo of that tangential tool holder and planed to buy one, until I seen they wanted almost a hundred dollars for it ! I looked it over good and then come home and made one, have been using it ever since. It's very easy to sharpen without doing a lot of angles, just lightly touch it to a six inch grinding wheel and it even gives you a slight concave. You do have great videos with great humor and I think it comes naturally ! Thanks for sharing and take care.

6 yrs late but your videos are therapy lol You are like the dude down the street that let me chill with him and make stuff in his garage, can always watch a TOT video for some nostalgia.

I let out an audible 'yeah' when I saw this in my feed.

Hi Tony. I'm in my late 60's and fully agree with you about the importance of sound quality. Please folks, use directional mikes or better still lavaliers. Turn the background radio's off. Try and run cables away from electric motors and fluorescent lights to avoid electrical noise pick up. If you can afford it use balanced 'xlr' microphones, not the 3.5 mm jack style. The dslr style came audio pre amps are usually noisy as well and their microphones of very low quality. If possible use manual, not auto gain control - the pro's do, the same as with focus. I know it costs money and its good of 'makers' to post at any rate. But, you can drive up your viewing numbers by getting this stuff right! Bob.

LOL! I am a 6'6" machinist at a foundry in Denver with one leg and an intimidating first impression... I'm told. Keep up the hilarious vids!

I love these shoot and poops? Keep up the great work Tony, your sense of humour and seemingly endless wealth of knowledge are a perfect match for your uncanny ability to simplify things so the rest of us mere men can understand and even learn a few things.

I appreciate all the work you put into these. I laugh with you as much as any of my favourite comedians. (there may also be some very interesting information for a new machinist such as myself)

That tangential cutter was rad...

Didn’t realise hip replacements were made from butt plugs.Tony, you teach me so much!

Man... Sooo good. What a giver of so much elation. - the hip squeak! XD

You nonsense fellow... you funniee funieeee nonsense fellow. That Psyco apple-eater at end was too too toooo hilarious !!! 👏👏👏👏

You are literally my favorite shop guy in the Internet

Like the calculator display at 15:37

Another fantastic video from your shop - please don´t ever stop making 'em - I´m addicted.

Thank you for your time and patience. Really great video!

Scrap yards are always fun. Bought a 300+ lb. 29" diameter lathe face plate cheap. Don't know what I'm gonna do with it but..... It's pretty damn cool. Sure won't be a wall hanger though !

Dam! Was just about to go to bed and saw this, oh well, who needs sleep! Thanks another great load of poop :-)

I have been debating this with professional machinists, semiconductor engineers, and friends - so many people do NOT think this error exists! Thank you for proving my case!

I cant decide which is better, your machine work or your shop humor-- both are great.

Ok eating the apple core is a little bit weird, but the most distressing thing I ever saw in a movie was the scene in K-Pax where buddy there eats the entire *banana*.

Congrats on 100k subs, another great video tony!

"And their Helicopter, it was battery powered" - That knocked me down man :-D Thanks for sharing such an amazing content, it's always a pleasure to watch your videos!

I spit my drink out on the apple guy joke. Maybe it’s because I have been a tradesman most of my adult life and I know guys just like that, but I chuckled for a while and today I really needed that laugh.

Hahaha I have said the same about people eating whole apples are serial killers for years! Two people separated by several thousand miles come to the same conclusion what does that tell you...?

@2:00 "dad. why did you bring me to a gay steel mill?"

Love your rants man, keep em coming!!

I used to do the whole apple thing when I was in marching band in HS. I always got up late for summer camp (which started at like eight in the morning, but I had to be there earlier), and so I would carry my breakfast with me onto the asphalt field. It was for a while the protein bars that come in the mylar packages, but I hated how hot and sweaty the package would get in my pocket if I couldn't find a trash can. So I started carrying an apple instead. But then I had to figure out what to do with the core when I was done. So I looked up what to do on Google, and found out that during the Depression people would commonly eat the whole thing from the bottom. If you do it that way you can't even really tell that you are eating the core, though it does change the taste a bit.

More than video or audio quality is story telling and you definitely now how to tell a story in an interesting manner.

Engineering is a bit like religion which it comes to trigonometry. Engineering has "COS Error", religion has "original SIN"

Great video! I love the humour but keep coming back for the info and insights.

Hi Tony, yet more joy and superb entertainment and education. You have now got me rewatching your work to catch the subliminal stuff. Kindest regards. Joe

I'm sure you probably know this already, but hopefully I blow your mind a little bit. Guess what happens when you use the same tool 90 degrees clockwise from the orientation you have it in the video? You get a vertical shear bit/tool as well. You can also do this with round HSS. Works great for ball turners.

I've had times in my life when I ate an apple like that, not because I was hunting humans, but because I was damn hungry. Of course, I was at Parris Island in Human Hunting School at the time, so maybe you've got something there.

Congratulations on a very well deserved 100.000 subscribers! By far my favourite channel.

O M G !!! A ToT vid I haven't seen yet 😀. Feels like Christmas 🎄😁🎄... again. It's a good one too, thanks Tony! 😊 Cheers! And Merry Christmas I guess 🤣

"brand loyalty man gene"

I've got $20 on the "apple clue to the serial killer's identity" showing up in a Hollywood film before 2017 ends. I was entirely clueless about that twist coming, but it makes PERFECT SENSE.

Nothing beats waking up Friday morning with a new Tony vedio.

"Apple man killed and ate them all." 🤣🤣🤣

I had a friend over for dinner once. A reenactment of the conversation: "What's that fruit?" "It's a pomegranate." "I've never had one of those." "Here you go. You can take it home with you." Instead of taking it home he just took a bite out of it right there. I'm sorry to say that I laughed. A lot. And that's the day I lost a friend, at least until he got me back with the... but I digress. So I would have invited you to dinner, but not until I have a grasp of your knowledge of fruit which has, to date, not come up in your videos.

love the 58008 on the calculator.

Haha! “Grandpa Simpson has nothing on me.” That was beautiful! Don’t stop making videos, don’t you dare 🤘🏻

Woo! Half an hour of This Old Tony talking!

Enjoyed the talk.

I do all my RU-vid videos with my trusty old Nikon F Photomic FTN. Which probably goes a long way to explaining why my channel is not up yet. Developing the film, scanning each frame, manually assembling the frames into video, man, that's a lot of work!

When the 'Recycle some graphics' moment happened, I legit belly laughed

Ave actually sent me here both you and him are the only channels I’ll watch every video till the end. One because you guys don’t do bullshit and two love the sense of humour you guys have and props to your editing.

I'd love to have myself over for dinner, anytime.

Tony I sent you two letters back in autumn you must not of got em, there probably was a problem at the post office or somethin....

I nearly sht myself laughing when lazer bolts flew out the tips o the drills hahahahahaha

I love the Alford Hitchcock closing. Very good info for all of us. Thanks.

Ahhh less than two hundred till 100 thou subs!!! You have set my expectations high for some sort of 100k special. Perhaps a comprehensive shop tour? And congrats in advance!

0:30 Our oven is too small, else would we love to have YOU for dinner. :-)

Total entertainment. Great to finally know what background you come from. Used to work in an aluminium rolling mill. Lot cleaner than a steel plant but just as fascinating.

I love your videos, man! I'm always excited when you bring out new content.

I was so deeply twitching waiting for APPLE + Ball turner AHHHHHHHHHHHH DO IT!!!!! sigh. then it didn't happen.

I wish I had a lathe!

My dad is a turbine coordinator for AEP and the lathe they have in their central machine shop is about 100 feet long. If say that boring bar you saw would fit on that type of lathe. I've only seen it once and dad told me the company bought it in Texas (I'm in WV) and the shipping alone was over $2M and took 10 truckloads and over a month to move. They turn turbine shafts with it. It's amazing to see.

Please, i'd LOVE to have you over for dinner. BTW, you almost single handedly got me into this world of machining. Bought me a small (read: way too small and filled with regrets) lathe and a small mill to see if it was fun. Well, I now make weekly trips to my local Metal Supermarket for cutoffs and my garage and whole house are filled with chips. Thank you sir. I truly appreciate it.

But is your new drill a skookum choocher?

i love your videos..also Ave's .. im not into any of this , by fact im an accountant but i want to be a man some day.. maybe watching this videos might help or not ...

Things like this are precisely why I love watching your channel. I had always assumed there was some sort of apparatus for turning ball stock and thanks to you I now know how to make one. I also have a decent idea as to how to make one of those tool holders which seems a little cheaper than buying inserts all the time. I got it in my head that I could clamp the stock for the holder at a 45° angle with an end mill and just cut a channel for the tool stock creating a nice notch for it. As for the clamping mech I can do the same but add a threaded hole for a grub screw to offset the clamping height for different sized tooling. A bolt down the middle into a threaded hole in the tool holder itself and we're in business. Thanks for the great video....

I found your channel through AvE's channel channel and I have to say, I laughed my ever lovin' ass off (wait, what does that even mean?). I'm an instant subscriber. Between Ave and yourself, I have no doubt I'll have nearly countless hours of hilarity as well

You forgot to eat the seeds.

80085, nice.

I can see how folks like you working in a shop probably don't get much benefit from an LED on an drill... but for anyone doing construction work, they're great. I wouldn't go so far as to call it a game changer, but it often means getting the job done right away instead of having to stop and set up a work light. Especially with the newer designs where the LED stays on for a few seconds after you're done drilling. Anyway, I enjoy your channel. Thanks for making these videos!

Congrats on 100K Tony. You are doing great.

if you ever find yourself in southern Wisconsin ill buy you a spotted cow, best beer ever

Up your fiber intake to succeed in regularity

You've got plenty of street cred...and don't need no stink'n cosine. Great vid Tony lots of tasty apple bits. Thanks for the cat memoirs and transformers. Always appreciate all the work you put into your video editing.

congrats on 100k. your channel is my favorite. i smile when a new vid pops up

You're almost to 100k subs, when did this happen!?

If you and the miss (and the little ones even) are visiting Orlando Fl, this is an official invitation for a dinner and a tour of my shop - there I said it and no it's never too late :)

Very nice and thank you Tony! Great work as usual.

I could listen to you talk all day long, great content and humor!

58008 indeed.

I eat the whole apple.

You always put a smile on my face!

'until I get some more fiber in me, thats all I got for now.' This will be my new voicemail message closing.
