Very nice Tony. On push scrapers, you can get double the use between sharpens by taking your square edged carbide and grind a -5 degree edge on top and bottom sides. You want the negative edge on push scraping. It avoids digging in to your work and it just works better/best on push scraping. You also get 2 sharpened edges that you can just rotate top for bottom as the first edge begins to dull. When both top and bottom edges loose their keen edge, it's just a quick grind/lap to get them both back to good cutting edges. I really enjoyed seeing you form the ferrule and make the handle. The flat on the oversize handle is a very good mod. Project creep is a problem in my shop. Things get spread out and mixed together, so I relate with your need to cleanup every so often to keep things efficient and orderly. Cheers, Gary
I've been watching your recent videos (August 2020)... you've developed so much from this: in the subject matter that you pick, in your craftsmanship with the video production process, and in the tools that you use and build... it's good to see that old adage, "Practice makes perfect" in action... still waiting to see a completed maho rebuild with z, x, and Y axes...
I'm proud when I get a bent coat hanger to do what I want... Your "throw away" tools are things to pass down in a family! Watching you makes me feel a little unaccomplished...
Whoa man, 5 years ago! Crazy how much your video production has evolved. Well, your production in general, honestly. So cool to have been around to see where you took your channel.
Knew the instant I saw the firewood from which you made the handle that the wood had extraordinary grain. Would have been great to see that handle with the finish on. The roll forming of the ferrule was really valuable to me. Thank you.
I personally think that having a bright orange color to indicate dangerous areas, pinch points, etc. is a great idea. Really drive home the fact you need to be careful near those orange painted areas. Thanks again for another great video!
Ive seen aluminum baseball bat ends closed that same way but with a torch heating first. Love the varied techniques and sharing the decision and thought process of all ur vids.
Oh so this is how the flux is supposed to look like - always thought it comes dried from the factory. Thanks Tony for letting me believe that in your newer videos :D
Very cool re the flow forming the ferule was a real eye opener! However, for the raw wood handle, why not give it a soak in blo. Liam Hoffman (blacksmith, axemaker) gives all his axe handles a prolonged bath after assembly. Great channel btw! Thanks!
Nice Job. Really liked the style of tool you came up with. Loved the ferrule and pushing the metal like that...gotta try it. Glad you have been able to get back to the build!! It really helps a lot of us out here. Most excellent, thanks again for sharing.
Tony!! That wasn't a flaw (you're really hard on you) the flare, just happened to be the inner weld of the ss sheet, as it passed thru to being a tube. But the video & project were awesome!
Good video! I like turning down hammer handles where they fit into the head ... with a bench grinder the wood scorches and it seems more durable. Should have the same effect with a ferrule/scraper handle - probably wouldn't have a problem either way.
I keep a roll of "metal working solder" on the shelf to fix little imperfections like you had on your ferrule . Very quick and very easy to use. I have even used it to build up od's if I only missed by .001ish. Handy stuff for lazy perfectionists.
"This is just way to big to get in there and all the way to the bottom." If I had a nickel for every time I heard that.... well, I would still have to work for a living. love the color scheme.
Very nice! I understand the best way to sharpen scraping tools is with a diamond impregnated wheel. You just mount up a disc and load it with diamond paste.
Thanks for the video Tony, I dropped the "Old" cus if your old I'm really old and I don't want to go there. With regards to your inpatients and the ferel, you must remember your the star here. The director, cameraman and sound man all the way to craft services can all wait til your good and ready to do it perfect. The star runs the show eh? Cheers from Ladysmith
I've epoxied bits of broken files to the end of a rod for making small "floats" for working in gunstock mortises. I can see where those carbide scrapers would be great for inletting too.
Very cool, I saw one of your later videos and your using the grinding machine. I thought where did this come from I missed something, so I looked deeper in the video list and found it. Thanks for sharing.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one installing saw blades backwards. Could not figure out for the life of me why it wasn't cutting...... Then one day........
Nice work. Enjoyable, educational video. Different from the run of the mill. Question: Why did you put a point on the shaft where it goes into the handle? Wouldn't that tend to split the handle? Intuitively, I would just put a small chamfer on the end so it wouldn't push shavings,but then I have split handles with square rod ends before, usually by being overzealous with a mallet...
How did i never see this before. I'm embarrassed. I thought i had seen all your videos. Now i have to start at the beginning and watch them all again. 😝
It's great to see you get another video posted. It's not easy to do. I have only had time to get a few out this year. Check them out, I think you'll like them. Dale
When making the ferrule, why did you rely on the frictional heating alone rather than using a torch? Is this to keep the hot spot localized so you only bend select regions?
9:12 one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen you doing mr. tony, even here in the future, in the distant year of 2021. there It would be really cool to see something like that in a new video, in your current big budget 1M-subscribers-youtuber kind of production, maybe expanding a little on the method, it’s capabilities and limitations. I like rehandling my cheap woodworking chisels to make them look somewhat fancier, along with improving the geometry and finish of the body in a belt grinder. They do turn out expensive-looking (because THAT is what really matters) but making the ferrules properly always evaded my capabilities. Thanks a lot again, and warn you sanitary authorities to keep an eye for a novel coronavirus-family virus disease that should pop up around November 2019. The future depends on you. I’ll be back.
AH! So the metal gets red! I always wondered how this kind of turning worked without folding up the metal in ferrules. Does brass work the same way? Great lesson, thanks Tony!
Thanks for educating me on "moving" metal... very cool. BTW, nothing wrong w/making tool handles from firewood, as long as it is dry. I do it a lot. Did you mention what type of flux you used?
sorry for the stupid question, but what is the purpose of scrapping the bed? reduce friction? improve oil lubrication? i never saw that process before... explanation needed please. Great videos though!
Your videos have changed so much 4 years later... thank for every single one of them!!!!
now i see why people stuck with you in the beginning. they could really see the diamond in the rough that is this old tony
His fingernails sure have come a long way.
Before your videos Tony, I always thought you needed a wood lathe to turn wood but I stand corrected. Great early younger Tony vid 😁
A video from the old days before he became a smarta----a more well rounded video producer...
I can’t believe you cut down an entire tree to make that handle. That is absolute dedication to your craftsmanship
Glad to know someone can deal with that 'wood' material.
My attempts at welding or heat-treatment do not work.
You can braze it pretty easily, it just takes a different type of flux, and no filler rod. It's weird stuff
It's got a pretty high carbon content so I don't know why you can't heat treat it.
@@Οδοιπόρος that's hilarious
Turn up the flow on the shielding gas. Works every time. Also using propane makes your problem sort of just go away...

Hey Tony,
Thanks for sharing that. Flow forming steel. Very cool.
All the best,
Tom

Watching this after seeing Tony's later metal spinning vids is fun. You can see right where the misplaced sense of confidence originated :D

Love the way you rolled that metal over. Nicely done! Didn’t even know you could do that with a lathe.
Whoa man, 5 years ago! Crazy how much your video production has evolved. Well, your production in general, honestly. So cool to have been around to see where you took your channel.
No need to apologize for the brightness of the orange on your grinder. I think it looks good.
Agreed.
Nice sir, for some reason hand scraping is fascinating to me, maybe the same reason I have been married three times. The love
of tedium and pain.
Wow. Making that ferule is like manly pottery.
And a home made solution is priceless! Excellent work and I enjoyed watching the process. Going to the log pile was genius!!
OUTSTANDING!!!! Very clever on the metal spinning... Thanks for putting together this video for all to see and grab ideas from...
Knew the instant I saw the firewood from which you made the handle that the wood had extraordinary grain. Would have been great to see that handle with the finish on. The roll forming of the ferrule was really valuable to me. Thank you.
That forming technique was awesome. I'm definitely going to be trying that. So useful!
I personally think that having a bright orange color to indicate dangerous areas, pinch points, etc. is a great idea. Really drive home the fact you need to be careful near those orange painted areas. Thanks again for another great video!
I enjoyed the tube forming, nice handle. Thanks for sharing your technique.
''Sneakin A Ryoba Into The Scene'' ;) . Beautiful to watch and learn. Thank you.

Great job on the lathe, that was cool.... even with the fold.
Very cool re the flow forming the ferule was a real eye opener! However, for the raw wood handle, why not give it a soak in blo. Liam Hoffman (blacksmith, axemaker) gives all his axe handles a prolonged bath after assembly. Great channel btw! Thanks!

Nice work Tony. Like the resourceful use of the tubing and the firewood. Good job!
Very nice tool and i especially liked the metal folding, never seen that done before :)
Nicely done, Bravo! I admire resourceful people like yourself.
Tony!! That wasn't a flaw (you're really hard on you) the flare, just happened to be the inner weld of the ss sheet, as it passed thru to being a tube. But the video & project were awesome!
The orange and grey looks awesome.
"I don't think this black flux burns"
-This Old Tony 6:36
Awesome scraper, I'd like to have a few of those, maybe an entire set of them. Love the handle
Really enjoy your videos. I'm a machinist. Always been fascinated with hand scraping.
Really liked the way you managed to turn the metal for the handle
Never saw a lathe used that way, love it.
making that ferrul was really cool! I'm going to have to remember that...
You're videos got me interested in machining
Good video! I like turning down hammer handles where they fit into the head ... with a bench grinder the wood scorches and it seems more durable. Should have the same effect with a ferrule/scraper handle - probably wouldn't have a problem either way.

absolutely slick... every bit bud! I especially liked the "lathe mis-use"... made me think of me. Lol. Thanks for the share.
"This is just way to big to get in there and all the way to the bottom." If I had a nickel for every time I heard that.... well, I would still have to work for a living. love the color scheme.
The Ferrule turning part was worth the whole video
Very nice! I understand the best way to sharpen scraping tools is with a diamond impregnated wheel. You just mount up a disc and load it with diamond paste.
Really enjoyed and learned from your video. Thanks for sharing!
I can't believe this was 7 years ago! I remember the first time I watched this.
A treat to see him bust out the Japanese saw to put a flat on the handle. Being used to the newer videos, I expected a mill on that.
He actually has a full arm and wirst. That's something I didn't expected to see
Thanks for the video Tony, I dropped the "Old" cus if your old I'm really old and I don't want to go there. With regards to your inpatients and the ferel, you must remember your the star here.

God bless LTT for mentioning this channel
Great! Nice looking tool - Thanks for posting a update!
fantastic! I had no idea steel could be spin formed.
Beautiful craftsmanship.
Would love to see a modern ToT video in this vein, a small "artisan" tool build for yourself.
I demand a follow-up video. Just how well has his carbide back scratcher held up.
Back when he was just "Tony from the block"
I've epoxied bits of broken files to the end of a rod for making small "floats" for working in gunstock mortises. I can see where those carbide scrapers would be great for inletting too.
So without having watched this video yet, you really shouldn't scrape peoples' hands, small or not. Just seems mean.
ha!
Especially small ones! ;o)
Good one!
Some good old fashioned humor
That's hilarious
Ya - that is a real good rule to keep in mind , don't scrape people's hands , yours or mine. Small or in between large.
I use my metal lathe (9" and 10" SouthBends) for turning wood, too.
Metal spinning!
Loved seeing that.
Very cool, I saw one of your later videos and your using the grinding machine. I thought where did this come from I missed something, so I looked deeper in the video list and found it. Thanks for sharing.
That was too sweet, glad to see this.
Thank you Sir!
“As you can see, it broke off right where I wanted it to.”
Oh my gosh... This Old Tony ca.2014
What a gem. So glad I found this.
He’s protruded so far... or extruded..?? Time?? I dunno.
I periodically rewatch his older videos when I need a TOT fix in-between new uploads.
Very cleverly done. Thanks for the video.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one installing saw blades backwards. Could not figure out for the life of me why it wasn't cutting...... Then one day........
Amazing how your videos changed over time!
Wow your video production has come a long ways!
Fingernails haven’t grown a bit.
Absolutely addictive! Thank you.
You must be a pro at Etch a Sketch!
Charlton Wang you cant 2 axis simultaneously turn a pease i do it for radiuses and dude you got too hands i asume if not im sory
Wow, GK from the future here... your production quality will improve a LOT ❤️
Nice work. Enjoyable, educational video. Different from the run of the mill. Question: Why did you put a point on the shaft where it goes into the handle? Wouldn't that tend to split the handle? Intuitively, I would just put a small chamfer on the end so it wouldn't push shavings,but then I have split handles with square rod ends before, usually by being overzealous with a mallet...
How did i never see this before. I'm embarrassed. I thought i had seen all your videos. Now i have to start at the beginning and watch them all again. 😝
I find golf balls make great file handles.
Choose a nut to fit the tang, drill a hole a little too small, press it in.
hi tony great video and great tool! thanks for sharing. cheers. pete
I see you have a Japanese pull saw , I liked the first one so much I bought another . They are great for cutting straight cuts .
Can't decide if I'm watching this young tony or just old videos now
I can scrape my hands perfectly thoroughly without needing a special tool.
If you use sandpaper on a lathe, always cover the bed.
I cover my bed with sandpaper all the time
How did I miss this one? So awesome
It's great to see you get another video posted. It's not easy to do. I have only had time to get a few out this year. Check them out, I think you'll like them. Dale
thanks for the input on my future project, keep up the info work, it's good stuff@
When making the ferrule, why did you rely on the frictional heating alone rather than using a torch? Is this to keep the hot spot localized so you only bend select regions?
Nice to watch a this young Tony video
I am missing the crazy intros. Life
Still the best.
That's 8 inches? Either you're zoomed in and the camera perspective is fooling me, or my girlfriend has been lying this whole time.
When a man does a measurement with his fingers exactly like he did. He knows exactly what the length is. Apparently old Tony's packin, lol

What a difference 5 yrs makes!!
Vintage this old tony. What else is one to do on a Sunday night to pass the time.
5:34 It always breaks where you want it to! Its just that it knows what you want more than you do!
AH! So the metal gets red! I always wondered how this kind of turning worked without folding up the metal in ferrules. Does brass work the same way? Great lesson, thanks Tony!
Brass is actually easier to manipulate than steel. People make bells out of this all the time with hand tools and a lathe.
That's a great new little tool for almost free I like it
Thanks for educating me on "moving" metal... very cool. BTW, nothing wrong w/making tool handles from firewood, as long as it is dry. I do it a lot. Did you mention what type of flux you used?

I enjoyed that

To make it flat. Look on youtube for "lathe bed scraping" to see some of the details.
Great channel !
Awesome video!
Knowing what you know now, how would you do this different today, almost 5 years later?
fantastic. very good video.
