I'm so glad This Old Tony's grandson follows in his footsteps
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'll not lie, since TOT is not making videos so often, Brandon really filled the gap to my machining-entertaining needs.
The DNA is definitely there! 😂
Didn't know that and I follow this old tony as well 🤣
All that time travel really messed up the timeline
One thing is for sure, this channel doesn't belong in the box of shame! Keep up the great work!
😂 Thanks!
Number 100 thumbs up......my CDO likes round even numbers! The box of shame is funny and this channel has a nice mix of practical and professional work along with the story telling and nice video shots. This Q&A answers a lot of questions I had. I also have a AS degree in photography and loved that it was a science degree, since I'm also a tradesman who is all about building and repairing and my grandfather was a tool and die maker for the aerospace industry. TOT didn't impress me and I must have blocked his channel since I never see videos from him. It makes sense now that this channel has a polished look even in earlier videos and hearing your background explains a lot. I can't wait to see what else you share.
@@CGT80 my wife teases me about being CDO. It's not my fault most acronyms are out of order.
Love the format of the channel. Beautifully paced with really clear camera work and narration. I think you hit your target.
Thanks, Chris!
absolutely.
It's been great to see your channel grow, I remember seeing your mill restoration video pop up on my feed last year and I've watched every video since. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into your videos 😄
Same here
Glad you've stuck around this long 😁 We're only getting started!
My first video was the pen build… it’s been a pleasure watching this channel grow!
Hi, I miss your wife's videos! I loved how she was passionate about the history behind a project, the excitement about a find and that the house spoke to her! That how I learned about your channel. Take care guys!
What was the channel ?
I miss Paige, too. Paige, thanks for the great channel and the fun videos. Wishing you all well.
Same! I miss her so much!
Congrats on the full time ! Before you know it you'll have Box of Shame Plushies, and fridge magnets
Cool your lady is so supportive :) we thank her for all the work she puts in behind the scenes .. she sounds awesome.
Thanks, Matt. She is awesome!
Does your wife still produce content of her own? Perhaps cross promote to drive traffic her way. Care to share a link to her channel?
Never mind. I dug a little deeper and understand all her socials have been scrubbed. I wish I could have watched her content, I think I would have really enjoyed it. Retired engineer and hobby woodworker/machinist, and I think I would be really happy being a neighbor if I had the chance
oh man, i NEED a box o shame plushie
My favorite channel right now. Your channel is like a combination of the precision and quality of Clickspring, some machinist humour from This Old Tony, hands-on knowledge from the old videos of Abom79 and the production team of Cutting Edge Engineering with your wife helping with your channel.
I never would have guessed that you weren't a presenter/talker. your videos are so professional, entertaining, and educational. You're sense of humor also is shining through the more videos you do, kinda gives me a Blacktail Sudios vibe, but with metal. Its great to see your channel grow.
Love the work keep it up. Cant get enough!
Can you imagine if Cam and Brandon did a build together? That would be AWESOME!
CAM?@@spdcrzy
Thanks a lot! Honestly it's taken a lot of getting used to and practice. And I still have a lot of work to do. But defintitly out of my comfort zone. I suppose that's a good thing 😁
Yes, I do watch blacktail studios occasionally and they are quite similar. I love to see what really happens with the technical stuff, but can also get bored if it is all technical. They seem to have just enough cinematic or artistic quality to also impress that side of my mind. They leave out all the reality tv stuff that is over the top, which just ruins shows for those of us who are technical and who avoid drama.
I really do enjoy the large multipart videos. The sine plate and radius plate are among my favorite videos.
Noted!
The behind the scenes planning/effort definitely pays off on screen. This is a great channel 👍
I appreciate that. Thank you!
My favorite youtuber this year. thank you for everything !!!
Thank you as well!
As a fellow UA-camr and engineer (electrical), I am amazed at the expansiveness of your process. I am always focused on the project, procedure, and science and everything else falls by the wayside, mostly because of the time it takes. Your discussion of the time consuming process of making a video was telling. The ironic part, is that I have worked in the movie industry for 35 years and still produce amateurish content. Love your work. Keep it up.
Yeah but then we couldn't make good bloopers. 😂
Thank you. Yeah the video part of it all ended up being a way more involved part of the process than I ever would have imagined. We're making incremental improvements, but it's still overall very time consuming.
@@InheritanceMachining Oh yeah understand that. Simple project turns into a several days ordeal when filming it.
@@hilltopmachineworks2131 100% accurate
As a freelance realtime court reporter in my previous career I was fortunate to take verbatim testimony from many hundreds of engineers over 22 years and out of all the lawyers, doctors, and highly educated professionals I took verbatim testimony from, the engineers were the most enjoyable to work with. They were the most practical, the most honest, hardworking, respectful people you ever wanted to meet. No baloney, no lies, no manipulation, just plain facts and straight-to-the-point responses. Wonderful people. I never met an engineer I didn’t like! Keep up the great work!
Love that you hand draft your prints. That is a true lost art. Thank you to Mrs. Inheritance Machining for creating a great showcase for your work.
You are nothing but a fantastic addition to the UA-cam maker community, if not the greatest in recent memory. Thank you very kindly for doing this!!
You are too nice. Thank you!
The outro bloopers are so fun, really get's my parasocial instincts tingling
i really consider this to be a rising star in maker-style channel as a whole, since not many focus on the simpler things like cinematics and storytelling like you do.
sure everyone has a gimmick, but polishing up the fundamentals is what appealed your channel to me since the first video.
also, now very curious about the wife's channel.
I really appreciate that. Thank you! My wife's channel isn't around anymore so there actually isn't anything to find.
I have watched his wife's YT channel back to back at least 3 times. It was lovely. I'm sad she has removed all Her videos from YT because I would continually rewatch it. Her aesthetic was very unique and inspiring.
A therapeutic watch as always but have to ask: what/where is Paige's channel?
same, I'd like to know aa well
Thirded
@@nathandompietro5621rightfully so with her insane rant 😳
UA-cam content provider Resume: : The Engineer, the draftsperson, purchaser, Machinist, videographer, editor, director, Producer, Actor, voice coach, story boarder, Writer (you should be striking) janitor. I'm sure i missed a few. I'm a hobby machinist (62) and started about 8 years ago, totally YT trained. Your lucky the equipment was purchased and loveingly cared for before you pulled up. Lol. Great video's, keep up the good work. 👍
Hardinge is such a lovely machine to run.
If you are considering a machine in this vein, consider a Monarch 10EE. Legendary and I think it could make a phenomenal series as, you'll likely have to do some restoration.
Thanks for the Q&A
Noted! Thanks, Ben!
Hey Brandon! Fantastic channel!
Just to help fill in on dad, (your grandpa), very early on he worked in a number of automotive machine shops doing any number of machine operations on engine blocks, cylinder heads, etc. Being the sharp guy that he was, he got involved in drag racing & circle track racing. He and uncle Ron, (his brother), built some very competitive cars. They were also engine and chassis builders for a guy named Paul Day who raced a 1933 Willys called the "Agitator". When he started at Ford, he was a tool & die maker. At some point, (and I'm not 100% clear on this) he was offered an opportunity to take some test with a number of other machinist, tool & die makers, & maintenance folks. He was the top scorer & they promoted him to a process engineering position. He did all of this on a 9th grade education. A super smart guy, dad was! After being in engineering for quite a number of years, he wanted to go back into the shop and use his hands again. Again, I'm not 100% on this, but I believe he went back to tool & die making & machine repair. Then moved into the CMM room which is where he was when he retired from Ford. Oh yeah, in another video, you talked about the workbench dad built. He built that in the early to mid seventies. I remember because I wasn't quite a teenager yet and I helped him assemble all the lumber on it.
15:09 you explain how you write the script first then attach video clips to match; i find this fascinating and i think it's probably why your videos are so gripping. The bigger focus is the story about the part, rather than the shot taking priority and writing a script to match. You two have created something special here, and I'm always looking forward to when a new IM video drops 💛 and the bloopers were SO GOOD lmao
Yes, story with video is a great way to include important things... the valuable things.
Understandable that you feel more confident narrating from a script, but don’t be so bashful about your off-the-cuff delivery. This chit chat was great!
One of my favorite YT channels. The attention to detail in the machine shop and the post video production is top notch. Top quality content here. As always thank you for the mentorship. Much love and gratitude. Now hurry up and post some more projects 😜
😂 Thanks a lot!
"Putting together presentations that are thoughtful and make sense and people actually want to watch is really challenging for me."
Well I for one think you're doing a wonderful job, so kudos to you and Paige both.
Thank you very much, Anthony 🙏
I wondered whether or not this guy was a (lovable) dork like every other machinist, until the skit that you did with the box of shame having googly eyes and angry eyebrows, and then fully confirmed that this guy is indeed a (lovable) dork
I dabbled in machining many years ago, but career and life got in the way and I left my tools collecting dust in my parent's garage. When I subscribed to you a year ago, it made me get bit by the machining bug again. Being thousands of miles away, I had to slowly and painstakingly collect tools again, but you definitely inspired and fired up my interest again.
You're attention to detail is mind blowing. Great work
Thanks, Frank 🙏
What a wonderful, insightful, 'behind the scenes' view of what makes your channel so exceptional!
Thank you every much, Ron! You of all people can certainly appreciate what goes into making a video 😁
I'm a conventional machinist watching you from Morocco, your channel enhance my English vocabularies as a Manuel machinist😊.
It's really funny to me that we (and most tinkerers it seems) come from following around our grandpas and learning from them as well as just from taking apart our toys.
Incidentally my grandpa was also involved with FoMoCo, and was even there in 1964 to see the first Mustang come off the line- because he was head QC inspector/foreman at Burlington Industries, who made the fabric for the interior components. If your grandpa was around at Ford then and made the dies and molds for the interiors, it might've been that our grandpas accidentally collaborated! :D
I appreciate this informative and insightful look into your video production process. A thought occurs after watching the outtakes - including your wife in a scene now and then couldl add a new dimension to your videos. Clearly you make a great team and (if she’s up for it) sharing her involvement in front of the camera seems natural.
Considering what happened to her channel, it sounds like she doesn't want to be in front of the camera for the time being. Her BTS contributions are great though!
Your wife laughing at you in the bloopers portion cracked me up. Great work guys, your effort really shows in your videos. I wish you continued success!
As a person that despises the current 'youtuber culture' and is interested in these subjects, thank you for producing honest, intelligent and professional content. Looking forward to more!
I enjoy your videos a lot. Glad you’re able to take a passion and turn into a business aside from your prior professional life. Cheers!
Thanks Chris. I consider myself extremely fortunate. Doing my best not to squander the opportunity! 😁
I’ve really enjoyed watching your videos and I couldn’t put my finger on why. I figured it out when I heard you talking about watching your granddad. My dad was an engineer, and he would do a lot of wood working with big tools at home. I always watched with wonder. Now that I’m older, I’m a software engineer, so I never had an outlet for my desire to machine things with my own hands. Or, even clean them perfectly! So, thanks for giving me this vicarious pleasure.
UA-cam is your full time gig now? Probably much happier. We love your videos :)
Three thumbs up for the quality of editing on your machining vids, man. Shot selection, pacing, timing, makes it feel more like I’m watching a narrative than a documentary. It’s very compelling and keeps me coming back even though I have no real world interest in learning how to machine.
Something that also really resonates with me with your vids is the analogue, manual, *hand made* focus. I knit, crochet, and sew as hobbies, and there really is something pleasing about taking a little longer to put your heart & soul into something.
It's great that you put that last part there because when you said you aren't a "speaker" earlier on I could not believe it :D
As soon as I heard you say Pantograph, I thought of Matthias Wandel's channel where I first learned of the tool. It's kind of a funny juxtaposition, given he specializes in MacGyver-ing everything out of inexpensive wood scraps, and your style seems to be methodically-planned high-precision machined metal. Both fantastic channels!
This was a fun video. The outro proved my suspicions... Brandon hides his inner goof ball well. The questions were good and it helps the viewer appreciate the channel much more when you hear how much time is spent making a proper video. I want to see a cleverly edited or bleeped video compilation of all the angry cursing... you just now there's plenty of salty language in the shop when a mistake is made. Great stuff!
I learned mechanical drawing back before the days of CAD. A draftsman's moto. "Never draw in the morning what you can't erase in the afternoon." Having worked with a lot of different CAD programs over the years I still enjoy put the lead to the paper.
Brandon I can say that I truly look forward to your videos. You have awaken the machinist in me and I have started to incorporate it more into my blacksmithing. Thank you and keep up the great work you keep me on my toes. Your awesome
This channel really helps my OCD and i almost went the route of being a machinist. I love watching and learning. I want to do this someday and it truly is a dieing art. Im amazed you fired into it like you have. No messing around just content and a great channel.
Built a heat treat oven for my capstone project. Its a super fun project to do and its awesome how often youll use it.
Instead of merely 3d printing, I'd be fun to see you 3D print a design, cast, and finish machine it. The heat treat oven would come in handy for that. Burn out the mold and melt some aluminim for the part.
Hi great channel I am a 73 year old newbie really enjoy you channel it’s taken me +\- 2 years to get my small shop set up. Going to auction and buying tools etc. i still work full time as a contractor. I am coming around to the only way to learn is just to start. Again great channel looking forward to the next one.
I'm not a trained machinist by any means.
Since I watch your channel and listen to you explaining everything, I bought a hobby mill and already made some small stuff for myself.
In total opposite, I use 3D printing and CAD for my prototyping.
Keep up the good work.
Pretty rare we get a channel on here that is run by someone so excited and genuine about what they are doing that also puts out such polished content as often as you do. Truly an s-tier channel, glad you're here!
This was a great video. I think a random video thrown in with just you talking through the video without a voice over would be fun. You are a good speaker, easy to listen to. It would be enjoyable.
I kind of chuckled when you "take your design and give it to a computerized machine to make for you.".....lol yeah no cnc I've ever run made that part for me lol....I def made that part and earned every bit of the satisfaction that came with making it lol 😆😉🍻
I rebuild older shop machines. I have drawn many parts in 3d . Most drawn in 3d and than 3d printed. Corrected many small errors found before making the part. The last one was an improved bearing blade guide for a 20 inch Delta wood/metal band saw. If you want a project, make a X and Y axis hand wheel that can be shifted to a low/high ratio. This would HELP with the TAP Tap tap to get the .0002" DRO IN POSITION.
I have printed hole pattern plates to check drawing and to use with transfer punches.
I found your channel while I was quarantined for a certain alphanumeric sickness. Watched every video you had at the time, and every video since. Thanks for the hours of enjoyment, and keep up the great work!
I am metal machining curious and love this channel! I am a woodworker who strives for precision so I always appreciate your attention to detail. The videos are so well done as are the projects with a lot of aesthetic consideration. I too like a nice chamfer!
This channel is A1 quality, I remember when I first discovered it (camera gantry) , I binged everything in the same day, I remember being shocked that I was already done. it was such a high quality content that I was expecting like 150 videos ! Also was very impressed by the high quality from the get-go!
One of the select few that I have notification to "always"
Beside ToT and smarter everyday
Keep up the good work it's very much appreciated!
Just a simple comment: It shows. The effort you just explained that you and your wife put in makes a huge difference. High quality and easy to watch entertaining and educational videos. Thank you for sharing that, your channel is a 100% have to watch for me. I did a bit of machining in the 70s 😮and changing a raw piece of steel into something shiny and precise.... made the "monkey likes shiny" part of the brain very happy. 🤣
"Monkey likes shiny" 😂 I love it. Thanks a lot Christoph!
I’ve had 2 questions but you answered one (sort of).
I am a knife maker (45 years) so heat treat is critical. I notice you sometimes use valuable tool steel but don’t heat treat it to get the full benefit. I’ll look forward to seeing this element brought in.
Number 2. Have you thought about learning scraping? Not so much in the realm you are in but certainly an element for your machines and possibly some of the tools.
Lastly (I thought of another one), had your surface place been checked and or resurfaced.
Thank you for all you do.
I too inherited a machine shop and bought some of my own (Southbend Mill) along with tooling. This is a real treasure trove of tinkering and fun.
What you are doing goes far beyond machining into what America desperately needs: highly capable craftsmen. All of industry turns around the machinist. We need to move away from the failed notion of a service economy and return to producing things. Your Grandfather must have been a wonderful man, and you are fulfilling his legacy; not just by carrying on the craft, but by showing the world how cool it is to be a machinist. Take this from an inventor, writer, and patriot. You are doing a great service and I hope you're being richly rewarded for it. Keep turning them out Tony!!!
This was awesome, man! Thanks for sharing and bringing us such great content.
I've been using drop deck trailers for moving my tool boxes and other heavy equipment for years. It really does make everything so much easier
I have the single axle version. Great to move things but for whatever reason seems high maintenance. Mine is a former rental one, so maybe has had a hard 24 years
Both Clickspring and your channel are my two favorite metallurgy channels.
So happy to have stumbled across your channel, and so so fortunate that you do what you do for us.
I love the bloopers at the end! The only change I would make to your videos is having more of those.
Congratulations ! Thanks for your videos, specially this one!
Love that y’all do this together. I hope it never stops being fun for you both!
Congrats on the success and efforts! Love the content and approach.
He references inventor, that is an Autodesk product. It is a native 3D drawing program, I am an IT professional and when it came out it was really game changer for our designers and engineers. I had the opportunity in 2001ish to start working with it and it was really impressive.
Great insights. Well done on a fantastic channel. Keep up the great work!
Agreed on the Hardinge HLV-H. I found one local on Craigslist in 2016 for $2500. The apron gearbox was locked up from water based coolant use and practically every gear inside was toast. Since then it’s been through a complete rebuild including a bed plate regrind. That rework drove Rulon installation on the saddle and tailstock (most guys take the shortcut and shim the bed plate to restore leadscrew alignment). The machine holds tolerances better than it did fresh out of Elmira in 1969. It’s by far my favorite machine to use. The 10EE machines are nice but IMO their ergonomics leave a little to be desired. Keep up the great work.
When I was in the EE program back in the 70's, I would take Industrial Arts courses as electives. My first quarter of school, I took a 400 level IA class called "Cold Metal Forming", it was the only A I got that quarter. :)
I love to see videos that I can learn from. Your channel is one of them. Telling why you do something is so important and also seeing the fails that can teach something to avoid.
I've found your channel a well though stories from the beginning. You've really done well there.
Thank you for the Q&A. I really enjoy your videos, and the human elements you incorporate in the videos very refreshing. Especially the reflection of your grandfather.
Love your story and process. Thanks for your honesty! Keep em coming
Thank you for this! We all appreciate your videos and especially this one! It makes us understand more of the key things that happened behind the scenes! Ive been watching your videos for a long time and have even made my own versions of your tools, and I absolutely love them! Thanks again
I'm another fellow UA-camr engineer and I love watching your videos. They kind of have a classy simplicity to them which comes through with your preference for hand drawings along with other traditional ways of making. It's amazing to me how many engineer UA-camrs you can find with @Fixthisbuildthat, @shopnation, @stuffmadehere....etc. I think it shows a trend of engineers going to school to build or design something meaningful yet finding that the corporate atmosphere/working world is stifling in some regards. I think a lot of engineers like yourself want to see the whole process through and feel a sense of completion but the way things are compartmentalized keeps you from doing so. Truthfully, I feel the same way.
i dont know how i even got here, iam a german mountain infantry NCO, but ive never missed a video of yours! there is something fascinating about the process of making things. iam always in awe how your projects turn out, i even started to try out a few things on the neighbours mill and lathe. thanks man, keep it up!
I love what Clickspring has done with his pentagraph. If you need to justify a purchase, show the missus some Clickspring videos :D
I just recently discovered your channel and I am enjoying it very much. I like your dialog and descriptions of your work flow. I hope you can keep this going. Good luck!
Nice too see how far you come. I first found you on reddit when you started to move the shop and restored the mill and been hookd ever since!
I love this channel, everything you've made is absolutely next level.
Also the Blooper reel at the end was Gold, you should put them in more often 😂
Mate loved this Q&A, love this content, can’t get enough
Found this channel a month or two ago and have since watched all the videos. You've created a great channel. Looking forward to more
Fascinating - Thank you for sharing and congrats on your UA-cam success!
It's honestly incredible how well produced your videos are.
Great Q&A! As usual, thanks for the excellent video.
omg the bloopers are to die for 😂 y’all are so sweet and funny 😊
So nice to see / hear the face behind an amazing channel. I can easily watch your videos one after another and often re-watch videos I've previously watched, they are that good and so engaging. Keep up the amazing work.
Great work, always nice videos (vibe, style, pace) and content (the bits of learning I get from the actual stuff you're doing). Two big thumbs up.
I love your videos so much! They are almost kind of relaxing and very satisfying to me! You're doing a great job creating those videos. Keep on going! Best regards from Austria!
This was a good look into how you make the channel. The end bloopers and stuff was great, it is nice to get to see more of your personality that isn't just reading off a script. Please keep up the amazing videos! I always look forward to them.
The best Engineering Q&A………….period!
Promise you will buy a pantograph engraver so that I get inspired how to better use my own. 🙏🤞👍😎
I've watched every video in your channel from the first one to this one. Great channel keep up the good work.
It has been an absolute joy to follow your channel from the very beginning. You are a very good presenter and your projects are always interesting. Thanks a lot for your contribution and keep doing this excellent work.
Loved every second. Keep polishing man, You have a knack for it ! I watch every video till the end.
I’ve been with you from the beginning. Glad to see your channel grow as deserved 😊 Always knew you would be among the youtube machinist greats!
Your now on my top 5 Channels, and humor to machining.
Brilliant video, thank you for giving us a little insight into where you are and where you are from. I have enjoyed every video you have made so far, all the design work and the machining. It would be a pleasure to see you get to some of the more complex ideas, take a few weeks/months with one engineering job, as I know it will be something never seen before. Thank you for your time, onwards and upwards.
Keep up the great work man!!! Your videos are fantastic, highly informative, and I look forward to every single new release. It honestly makes my entire day when I see a new video drop, you and your wife are doing an amazing job please keep it up.
Also I especially love the drafting segments of your videos, I love 3d modeling but there is just something I just enjoy way to much when using my compass set
Thanks for doing this. After watching the blooper reel, I have to say that you and your wife are lucky to have each other. Love seeing what you do and looking forward to those future projects. :)
Great stuff! I enjoy the drafting part perhaps even more than the actual machining content. It's interesting to see how an idea takes shape first on paper and then on metal.
Wholesome content ❤ you guys doing perfect!
