I remember watching this video years ago. Since then, I have become a professional machinist. It's really pleasant watching you work, and make such a cool tool that I rely on at work.
I, for the life of me, cannot pinpoint what is most impressive about your videos. The editing, videography, illustrations, comic genius, or possibly-unparalleled machining talent. Your videos are phenomenal, and I do so enjoy them. Thank you for sharing.
Rusty Shakelford I commented the same gist of message a few days later than yourself. But I forgot to give praise to his additional video editing efforts -top notch! Old Tony sure is a well rounded dude. I'm nearly awestruck by all the talent in one man!
I Ditto everything that Rusty said.. Tony is an all around professional. Ive always dreamed of having a shop like his.and in my case just self taught and learn from my mistakes. Sounds like a wonderful life.. Has to give you a great sense of accomplishment...
Get yourself a machine that's not Tom Lipton sized and you might appreciate having a "parking attachment", even with those guns! Now that you have the future boring head in your hands, are you gonna show us some boring work? Always enjoy your videos Tony, very creative and entertaining. I agree, don't time travel in metric units..... Adam
If Tony saw my above comment, then I suppose you and him could challenge each other in a race to make a U-Axis head! It's like a boring head but the tool travels around the work, perhaps a cylindrical feature on a milling job. It might not see too much use but it might be a fun project worth doing, you reckon?
Check out some of the newer style Sunnen valve seat machines. The whole machine is basically a glorified boring head that has it's diameter controlled as an axis and while it's rotating, to create contoured valve seats instead of 3 angles with maybe a fillet between them.
Words can't describe how great this channel is. Absolutely brilliant production, ideas, and humor. This Old Tony also avoids all the bad youtube tropes and delivers excellent content in the best humble dad joke style. I love it! I don't machine anything but find myself re-watching these videos over-and over again. Kudos TOT, i really dig your style and elaborate time-travel-slipping-on-banana-peel jokes. Seriously nobody does this stuff so good.
In Russia there is such expression Clever fingers! But here even it does not transfer your unreal ability and skill!! I watch your video with an open mouth and without moving! Low bow to you!!
Forward PhysX I will generally use Clickspring to put myself to sleep when I'm having troubles with the same. His stuff is incredibly relaxing to watch.
My grandfather used to tell me, if you like skin care, metal work is not for you. But if you feel you may need all your fingers in the future, no rings in the shop. The fact that my grandfather was 8 and a half fingers was quite persuasive. Great job Tony
Tose cutting shenanigans... and then that bana peel slip and boom... Man you are a GENIUS in machinist humor! I absolutely love your channel. Greetings from an engineering technician, who haven't even seen a metalworking machine in 3 years.
Man your "Play by Play"is just right. Just the right amount of information sprinkled with just enough intelligent humor. VERY few You-Tube machinists get this mix right. Additionally, video is great. As a job shop machinist I've watched enough things turn, however you don't leave out what IS important about chips and tooling selection, setup etc. Now for what I would hope will be a useful tip. When I ran a lathe and needed to "knock the edge off of a part" I did one thing for safety sake, I would turn the file end for end, and run the lathe backwards. With this arrangement I could reduce the risk of a miss-step leaving me with a file sticking out of me. Also, (and I'm aware that you know this, so my apologies in advance) on must keep the file in motion and not just rely on the turning of the part to get the cutting done. I have actually seen guys with plenty of years in front of a lathe that did not get this. Once again, thanks for the very good work.
Thanks Ido'.. and good tip! I have in fact tried that quite a few times but the muscle memory just wasn't with me and it felt more dangerous than doing it the other way 'round. Old dog / new tricks. I completely agree, however.
As an old woodworker, I really appreciate the work you go through in the world of metal. Watching you create this part was fascinating. Keep up the great videos mate!
Your videos on the lathe usage make me want to go out and get a lathe, be 30 years younger living in today's world. Being a female in a mill in the 70's, 80's, and even 90's was not very practical...but I sure do LOVE all sciencey, matchy, and working with my hands just like and guy.... Can I use you time machine?
Absolutely outstanding video! Machining, comedy AND time travel.. I watched this with ear buds while having my morning coffee and my wife gave me "the look" a couple of times when I laughed out loud. Thanks for making my day. Fred
Phenomenal stuff. Sheer badassery. Love this channel. Great videos Tony, hats off. I have been in the trade as a CNC machinist for the last 20+ years and you're as good as anyone I've seen in the wild. Appreciate the hell out of your sharing this grooviness....
If u see this, after 2yrs......i m in LOVE with ur EDITING, machining & of course the amazing "insane level of Humour" (I don't know whts tht mean) out of a dry & sour subject....... Hats off. RESPECT.
Yo... Tony! Your videos are so genuine and honest and unaffected. My hat's off to you. I just love their sense and character. Great, brother! Thank you. I love 'em and have learned so much. Then, thank you again.
I love how you take such boring subjects (looks like his puns are contagious 🙄) and made amazing, educational, and entertaining videos out of it! Thanks for another well done video!
I do love how Tolkien started the hobbit, all those dwarves gathered in Bilbo's machine shop, and then Gandalf showed up and did some single point threading on Bilbo's lathe. An all time classic. :')
You know you've made it as a machinist when you machine your own machine parts, because the machine parts you've got aren't quite good enough to machine with the way you want to...
You literally inspire me tony. Not even joking when I say that. I have been going to the votech for the past three years and I am soon to be machining for the navy. You help me out and you make learning more enjoyable and entertaining. Thank you for doing what you do man.
I really miss these longer videos that showcase such a journey combined with you being you, your legendary video editing, and your always amazing finished products.
Thank you l really enjoyed watching a true Machinist create a precision tool..as an old Machinist myself I understood everything you did.. your final product came out beautiful.. Congratulations. I know that boring head will last forever as precision tooling always does...Ed from Colorado
Abom would have stretched this out into four, 40 minute videos. I've only just discovered your channel and I'm currently binge watching them. Your sense of humour is great 🙂
Picked up your channel while in Covid lockdown, those weeks where not wasted! This one is pure art, I have much to learn and am looking forward to making many of my own mistak.. TOOLS, many of my own tools. Thanks for your excellent work!
As an older machinist (who still turns the wheels by hand) I enjoy your videos, Tony. RE: Nicholson files and the changing quality over the past few years, Nicholson moved much of their manufacturing south of the United States a few years ago. I was die-hard Nick, Heller, Grotz, and now Nicholson is out of my good graces. They may have saved some money moving to Mexico, but they are losing professional tool users.
Another awesome build man. I have been in the hospital for over a month and I cant tell you how much I appreciate these videos. Incredible projects and you crack me up, I really need that. Thank you very much.
I've never seen footage of you actually using the saw. I'm beginning to believe you may not have one and actually use some strange machine that your hiding
I'm sure you was a movie director or a Bridgeport in your past life... Some off the best content on UA-cam ! I appreciate your time and effort to educate and entertain us
You do very good work, Tony! I enjoy your videos. Thanks for showing us what you did to produce such a fine-looking tool. My life is too short to make tools. I'll buy 'em.
34:02 I'm sure it is plenty sharp. You just need to slow the feed, increase flutes or(best solution) grind or file some relief into your engraving bit. If it is one of those one flute points Ive seen you make, the problem is no relief. Without relief, you are pushing the round backside of the cutter against the work for a full 180 degrees after the cut- that tends to push the material out of the way.
Thanks heaps Tony for using Metric units in your videos, as someone who really doesn't understand the barley grain/thumb width system, it helps me understand whats going on.
Your videos inspired me to buy a lathe and mill to get started. Just picked up a Logan 922 and an old Benchmaster vertical. Wont be doing anything close to what you are doing but I can't wait. Thank you for your channel.
I just want to take a moment to voice my appreciation for the effort that went into making these self future references, because to me it feels like a lot of things to keep in mind (or on paper) to stay consistent.
That intro absolutely freaked me out. This is the first time in over 10 years of me watching youtube that I’ve been the victim of those “just say a name and hope it gets one of the viewers” jokes. Well played, Tony.
okay, the wooddruff (misspelled) cutter may have been doable with a large bolt, but making a 3 jaw chuck from a bottle jack LOL that I had to comment on that, thanks Tony!!! I love your videos!!! you must have one hell of a bench grinder.
An excellent vid. I think machinist schools should have this project for their students as there are several complicated ( but nothing impossible ) steps to go through. The end product is beautiful ( like a swiss watch ) and practical too. Thank you.
I've watched this and just about all of your videos multiple times. They are so nicely put together and pleasant to watch! Keep up the great work Tony!
Hi Tony , recently discovered your home made boring head , just what I need , so . . . just got to make the adjusting screw , and I'm done ! Thanks for sharing your work 👍 . Jim Simpson
@thisoldtony, dude you gotta help... I can't stop watching your videos. Seriously, I've been through everything like 3 or 4 times. Especially this one and the espresso pot build. If you have more start to finish machining projects, this guy would love more. Thank you for the content. Literally can't get enough.
Im moving into a position at work where i will be using a fly cutter to surface optics lenses and I was turned onto your channel by one of our engineers and this has quickly become one of my favorites. TOT you are awesome, I love your videos and i cant wait to see more
Using the boring bar like that- genius. This might convince me to start making my own boring head... Great video. What a different feel over other machinists. It's like the video quality like clickspring, only with a laid-back feel. Well, almost the quality... EDIT: I'm only halfway through the video and I'm really feeling making that boring head now. The way you're doing things is so ingenius, like using the pins to measure the dovetails. I've never seen that before but I feel like can use it later.
Thanks for the tips on time travel. I have been working on my own time machine and was wondering about Metric vs Imperial. I was leaning toward Metric but after watching this video I am sold solid on Imperial for anything related to time travel!
Hi there, I used to do so much work like this, using clocks, manual, dialing, block gauges and such, now i just use a cnc all day. I really miss the days of doing stuff like this, i loved it so much
I just happened to come upon this video, and I must say, I enjoy your method of teaching. It’s always much more pleasant to learn when the videos are well put together and “the passion” shows through. The humor is just the cherry on top of it all. I appreciate you. Keep it up!
Your videos are frikkin brilliant. I work in the motion picture industry and your camera angles, lighting, and editing is superb. Your also a funny bugger, so that helps too. I'm just starting out in the machining world, and youtube is a great resource for me, a lot to aspire to. I'm quite amazed at what you are producing in these videos. As a footnote, I have a DRO exactly the same as yours. Sadly the manual is in chinese english, and I don't understand almost anything. I'm completely unable to input any subdatums etc. I just Zero everything and keep everything else on paper. Slow :(
When an analog machine runs into trouble, it can wind down safely using the residual space-time momentum left in the flywheel. When the digital units run into trouble, they just go haywire and everything comes to an abrupt halt. The last thing you want to see when you're barreling along at 2500 years per microsecond is a BSOD. Also, resolution isn't an issue, really. In theory, analog has effectively unlimited resolution, all the way down to Planck time. Just how well you can get things calibrated is all in the pre-jump indicating.
@@davel6683 And remember -- all of that digital technology could not have been developed if it weren't for the pioneering efforts of the analog guys. Er, uhm... unless the digital guys did it first, and then jumped back, and... er... uhm...
Phreadrick Hejrick you're actually you're both correct and wrong. Both the digital and mechanical ones were around first. And it doesn't really matter anyways While the digital one are very easier to use and are far more precise stopping down to milliseconds. But when they went wrong oh boy they went really wrong and having what's left of your scattered across space-time isn't what I'd call a good time. The universal positioning clock is also more precise so you're less likely to end up in the middle of space because you forgot to check your mechanical clock and now your solar system is millions of miles away and you're stuck in the vacuum of space. And the digital ones have a time-space memory that stores your last previously used space-time position you you can return a few milliseconds after you initially leave very few analog ones have this feature and the ones that do are only accurate down to an hour to a few minutes. But the drift on mechanical ones makes them easier to use, in case you don't know, some mechanical ones allow you to shut off a specific part of it to allow you to slowly drift closer to real time it's more precise then a flat stop on a point in time manually but still not as accurate as a digital one. Also mechanical ones are cheaper, easier to maintain, and when they get broken are a lot easier to fix than the one that requires a theoretical physics degree and some level of mastery over software. In the end it's all personal preference and the rise in popularity with the digital ones is purely because time traveling is becoming more mainstream and people that help maintain and fix them are becoming more common as a career choice now. And because of that it's more convenient for a lot of people just to bring their more precise and digital time machine into the shop for someone else to maintain or fix. Anyways back on topic both time machines came into existence at the same time when someone used a digital time machine to go to the future to steal a mechanical time machine and someone used the mechanical time machine at the exact same point in space time to go to the future to steal the digital one. I hear they're planning on making a hybrid system time machines sometime in the future that might either be better than either current option or worse. And guessing by the fact nobody stole it from the future yet it's safe to guess worse.
Not too bad for a time traveling blind person. Love your videos and in my humble opinion... you are constantly improving and should be on the same level as some of the UA-cam five year olds filming in their parents kitchen very soon. ;) But all the envy aside... educational, funny, interesting... just awesome... I'm loving it! Please keep on going and keep educating us completely blind guys.
I had no idea what a boring head is, so I had to go and watch another video about that, so I was adequately prepared for this one. :) I've never done any machining in my life, but I love this channel, and enjoy every video.
Awesome video Tony, some of the best machining and fabrication videos on youtube! I think you need to lighten up and not be so serious all the time sir! ;)
This Old Tony +1 for trying, but nope, it's that guy from Canukistan, AvE. I'll make sure I check out EEVBlog since you mentioned. Good craftsmanship man, and excellent editing. Quite the pro if I may say. Solidworks even.. wow. Wish I could smell that coffee at the end tho, going to hunt for a cup! Thanks for the videos!
FYI, the term "dooblydoo" for referring to the video description was actually coined by John Green of the Vlogbrothers, several years ago, it's not originally an AvE thing. Funny, of all the crazy, fun words he makes up, that one wasn't his :P
Great explanation of measuring dovetails with pins, the graphic helped a lot. I was stumped on a slide I'm making for my lathe. Super job on the video, very informative andd it moves right along.....a biggy for me.
Hello TOT, I'm just informing you about the ramifications of the causal paradoxes you created with this undertaking. More than five million parallel universes had to be quarantined and entire branches of Yggdrasil-4 are now backed up with causal loop verification and universe orientation requests. As you can tell from the date of this comment, I'm still experiencing extreme time dilation and having trouble synchronising my electronics due to the amount of temporal flux your chronologic wake left behind (and pushed forward! What were you thinking?). My tachyon drive is in the 37th century, and is still undergoing repairs - even 43 centuries earlier! My bill says the repairs will have been complete in another 41 years from the Einstein reduced date of this comment - give or take a three minutes - and when it does I will be calling on you. You should hear from the Temporal Obfuscation Tribunal long before that though. Have a good hour.
Another thoroughly entertaining and educational video. Before finding TOT I never would have used both those adjectives in the same sentence without the word 'not' between them.
My wife just walked in, looked at the computer, and said "You're a homemade boring head..." Absolutely loving these videos, man. Just awesome work.

He was "making fun of" Adam of the channel Abom79 here on youtube.
I honestly find that metric is much more reliable when you travel more than 240 years back in time.
You have some AWESOME talent! Thank you for sharing! I LOVE your videos!
Thanks!
okay, the wooddruff (misspelled) cutter may have been doable with a large bolt, but making a 3 jaw chuck from a bottle jack LOL that I had to comment on that, thanks Tony!!! I love your videos!!! you must have one hell of a bench grinder.
An excellent vid. I think machinist schools should have this project for their students as there are several complicated ( but nothing impossible ) steps to go through. The end product is beautiful ( like a swiss watch ) and practical too. Thank you.
For a boring head it was quite an exciting build.
Yeah, wonder why you don't have a million subscribers - real a master piece you did there !
Nice video ideas/editing too !
I was curious about the same thing, this is studio quality!!!
excellent thanks so much
He's almost at a million now!
Just had to work on it for a bit longer lol
I've watched this and just about all of your videos multiple times. They are so nicely put together and pleasant to watch! Keep up the great work Tony!
Hi Tony , recently discovered your home made boring head , just what I need , so . . . just got to make the adjusting screw , and I'm done !
Thanks for sharing your work 👍 . Jim Simpson
@thisoldtony, dude you gotta help... I can't stop watching your videos. Seriously, I've been through everything like 3 or 4 times. Especially this one and the espresso pot build. If you have more start to finish machining projects, this guy would love more. Thank you for the content. Literally can't get enough.
Tee shirt "Every great story in history started off with a lathe"
Loved this episode!! I learned about lathe files (didn't know of such a thing). Enjoyable to watch your work.
Im moving into a position at work where i will be using a fly cutter to surface optics lenses and I was turned onto your channel by one of our engineers and this has quickly become one of my favorites. TOT you are awesome, I love your videos and i cant wait to see more
Tony you're likely the funniest machinist on youtube!
Using the boring bar like that- genius. This might convince me to start making my own boring head...
Great video. What a different feel over other machinists. It's like the video quality like clickspring, only with a laid-back feel. Well, almost the quality...
EDIT: I'm only halfway through the video and I'm really feeling making that boring head now. The way you're doing things is so ingenius, like using the pins to measure the dovetails. I've never seen that before but I feel like can use it later.
Thanks Anand!
I have zero use for a boring head or any of the other tools you make yet I love watching them all. Great work
Thanks for the tips on time travel. I have been working on my own time machine and was wondering about Metric vs Imperial. I was leaning toward Metric but after watching this video I am sold solid on Imperial for anything related to time travel!
"And just like every other great story in history, ours is gonna start at the lathe..." 😂😂😂
I have an Aldi drill press you can borrow, 'cause I've been watching you, and I think your'e ready to work with the good stuff.
Hi there, I used to do so much work like this, using clocks, manual, dialing, block gauges and such, now i just use a cnc all day. I really miss the days of doing stuff like this, i loved it so much
I just happened to come upon this video, and I must say, I enjoy your method of teaching. It’s always much more pleasant to learn when the videos are well put together and “the passion” shows through. The humor is just the cherry on top of it all. I appreciate you. Keep it up!
Thanks Debo!
Your videos are frikkin brilliant. I work in the motion picture industry and your camera angles, lighting, and editing is superb. Your also a funny bugger, so that helps too. I'm just starting out in the machining world, and youtube is a great resource for me, a lot to aspire to. I'm quite amazed at what you are producing in these videos. As a footnote, I have a DRO exactly the same as yours. Sadly the manual is in chinese english, and I don't understand almost anything. I'm completely unable to input any subdatums etc. I just Zero everything and keep everything else on paper. Slow :(
It´s so fun to watch your great videos ;)
Greetings from Germany
Thanks!
You have another fan, Tony. I don’t have any tools or quals for machining, but I love to watch, listen and learn! Best wishes!
Currently chilling out watching a man build a boring head after I just got done cleaning up after Thanksgiving dinner. Life is good.
"If the future me _will_ do it then I don't have much choice, do I?" *This Old(er) Tony.*
Don't know why you're still using that old analog time travel machine. They're all digital now. Better resolution.
Mike, there's just something about the warm feel of the analog units. You can hardly find them now what with all the hipsters buying them up!
When an analog machine runs into trouble, it can wind down safely using the residual space-time momentum left in the flywheel. When the digital units run into trouble, they just go haywire and everything comes to an abrupt halt. The last thing you want to see when you're barreling along at 2500 years per microsecond is a BSOD. Also, resolution isn't an issue, really. In theory, analog has effectively unlimited resolution, all the way down to Planck time. Just how well you can get things calibrated is all in the pre-jump indicating.
@@davel6683 And remember -- all of that digital technology could not have been developed if it weren't for the pioneering efforts of the analog guys. Er, uhm... unless the digital guys did it first, and then jumped back, and... er... uhm...
Phreadrick Hejrick you're actually you're both correct and wrong. Both the digital and mechanical ones were around first. And it doesn't really matter anyways
While the digital one are very easier to use and are far more precise stopping down to milliseconds. But when they went wrong oh boy they went really wrong and having what's left of your scattered across space-time isn't what I'd call a good time. The universal positioning clock is also more precise so you're less likely to end up in the middle of space because you forgot to check your mechanical clock and now your solar system is millions of miles away and you're stuck in the vacuum of space. And the digital ones have a time-space memory that stores your last previously used space-time position you you can return a few milliseconds after you initially leave very few analog ones have this feature and the ones that do are only accurate down to an hour to a few minutes.
But the drift on mechanical ones makes them easier to use, in case you don't know, some mechanical ones allow you to shut off a specific part of it to allow you to slowly drift closer to real time it's more precise then a flat stop on a point in time manually but still not as accurate as a digital one. Also mechanical ones are cheaper, easier to maintain, and when they get broken are a lot easier to fix than the one that requires a theoretical physics degree and some level of mastery over software.
In the end it's all personal preference and the rise in popularity with the digital ones is purely because time traveling is becoming more mainstream and people that help maintain and fix them are becoming more common as a career choice now. And because of that it's more convenient for a lot of people just to bring their more precise and digital time machine into the shop for someone else to maintain or fix.
Anyways back on topic both time machines came into existence at the same time when someone used a digital time machine to go to the future to steal a mechanical time machine and someone used the mechanical time machine at the exact same point in space time to go to the future to steal the digital one. I hear they're planning on making a hybrid system time machines sometime in the future that might either be better than either current option or worse. And guessing by the fact nobody stole it from the future yet it's safe to guess worse.
You had me thinking until you went to the CNC. Very beautiful work. Thanks for filming/reording the project.
That almost looked "store-bought"!
Beautiful work, sir.
Thanks for sharing!
Not too bad for a time traveling blind person. Love your videos and in my humble opinion... you are constantly improving and should be on the same level as some of the UA-cam five year olds filming in their parents kitchen very soon. ;)
But all the envy aside... educational, funny, interesting... just awesome... I'm loving it! Please keep on going and keep educating us completely blind guys.
Thanks Frank!
great job man, great video, that jab at Abom hahahaha
Ya I laughed out loud at that part too!
Yeah. No so much a jab as they usually are, more a good buddy type fun jab with a smile.
ez,
Every single time I get a chuckle out of the cutting shenanigans. Never gets old
I had no idea what a boring head is, so I had to go and watch another video about that, so I was adequately prepared for this one. :)
I've never done any machining in my life, but I love this channel, and enjoy every video.
Awesome video Tony, some of the best machining and fabrication videos on youtube! I think you need to lighten up and not be so serious all the time sir! ;)
Thanks Ramsey -- no time to lighten up, this is serious business here. :)
"I'll put a link in the dooblydoo" (guess what channel brought me here :D)
EEVBlog! ;) Glad to have you macbeth, pull up a chair.
This Old Tony +1 for trying, but nope, it's that guy from Canukistan, AvE. I'll make sure I check out EEVBlog since you mentioned. Good craftsmanship man, and excellent editing. Quite the pro if I may say. Solidworks even.. wow. Wish I could smell that coffee at the end tho, going to hunt for a cup!
Thanks for the videos!
AvE and Abom coincidentally also brought me here! What a sweet part Old Tony
Ave sent me as well
FYI, the term "dooblydoo" for referring to the video description was actually coined by John Green of the Vlogbrothers, several years ago, it's not originally an AvE thing.
Funny, of all the crazy, fun words he makes up, that one wasn't his :P
Great explanation of measuring dovetails with pins, the graphic helped a lot. I was stumped on a slide I'm making for my lathe. Super job on the video, very informative andd it moves right along.....a biggy for me.
Thank you for your videos.....awsome work, definitely one of the most impressive, fabricator/machinist I've seen,
Yes, really Switzerland :P
Greetings from Switzerland (:
Hello TOT, I'm just informing you about the ramifications of the causal paradoxes you created with this undertaking. More than five million parallel universes had to be quarantined and entire branches of Yggdrasil-4 are now backed up with causal loop verification and universe orientation requests. As you can tell from the date of this comment, I'm still experiencing extreme time dilation and having trouble synchronising my electronics due to the amount of temporal flux your chronologic wake left behind (and pushed forward! What were you thinking?). My tachyon drive is in the 37th century, and is still undergoing repairs - even 43 centuries earlier! My bill says the repairs will have been complete in another 41 years from the Einstein reduced date of this comment - give or take a three minutes - and when it does I will be calling on you. You should hear from the Temporal Obfuscation Tribunal long before that though. Have a good hour.
The first couple sentences of this comment aged very well
What an amazing comment
I enjoy machining as a hobby and your videos and mastery are a pleasure to watch. On of the best on UA-cam. Keep up the great work!
Dude, wow! If I only had the time to do cool stuff like that.... and the shop... and the skill... Thank you for this video!
This channel is great! It's like a mix of Clickspring and AVE!
Plot twist: CS and AVE are spin-offs! Thanks Myadler!
+This Old Tony I had a feeling.
Both CS and AVE are much loved and admired cave buddies however they are naught but pretenders to the machining genius of TOT
I love this. It's like well produced machining porn.
Tech Geek I know I needed a smoke after that.
@@pauldwalker rofl
Even though I understood very little about what you were doing I just couldn't stop looking. It so amazingly cool!
Another thoroughly entertaining and educational video.
Before finding TOT I never would have used both those adjectives in the same sentence without the word 'not' between them.
Great machining. Love the comedic twist. Otherwise this was a pretty "Boring" video. LOLz...
Hey, i see what you did there. ;) Thanks!
