    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...

    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!

    I could not stand having one plastic and the other aluminum. I get it. Only a 15.00 POS but I would imagine with the other side in aluminum that you could cross sell it for 15.99. Seriously nice (enuff)work. My lathe/mill is 99% manual and although I imagine I could create a similar part (in a month of sundays) I always appreciate you sharing your time with us. Even if it is on a fishing net no serious fisherman would be caught dead using ;p

    My wife calls the area behind my shop, "your junkyard" (mine not TOT's). She is always happy though when I wander out there and find exactly what I need to take into the shop and spend countless hours and hundreds of dollars modifying just in order to fix a $20 widget.

      My first thought was CAD and print with Nylon-X. Quickly followed by a 2nd thought of buying the all metal foldable net, which was totally superceded by wondering if I could talk my wife into wearing some fishnet lingerie. I concluded this was all "crazy ideas" and just watched the video. Hey, wait, what is my wife wearing ... sorry guys, gotta go.
