This Old Tony

Unexpected Christmas present! Arctic Chill water cooler for the tig torch. Note: not a sponsored video. In fact I proceed to destroy my warranty with an... ON-DEMAND FAN MOD! wooo... ahem.. pardon me. Water cooled tig torches -- who/what are they for?, sound measurements, temperature monitoring and control, etc. etc. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music: "Bluebird" -- E's Jammy Jams

Hey. How ya doin? Having a good weekend? Not a lot going on here, but picked up an old bench metal shear and (finally!) a universal vise. They needed some TLC. Don't we all.

Pretty please, sugar on top. I was hoping to use my scope to play with / explore asymmetric TIG; haven't had any luck. Might be over my head with this one. Now I'm more curious about potential measuring limitations than what the welder is even doing! The original tig-measuring-vid is here: https://youtu.be/_KInGWLBwcE Thanks!

Follow up to my oscilloscopic call for help. Figured it out with a little help from my friends (you!). User error: I is dumb. But, finally caught the elusive waveforms on the scope. Exciting times we live in, indeed.

Project hit a roadblock: needed a tap I didn't have... Now I do! *Level unlocked* PS Audio gets weird in places; my apologies in advance. ---------------------------- music: Bongo Madness - Quincas Moreira

A little something I've always wanted to try... can I turn an inexpensive ultrasonic cleaner into an ultrasonic knife? ---------- Practical Engineering: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMOqf8ab-42UUQIdVoKwjlQ ---------- Music: "Goat" - Wayne Jones

Left home with a cow, but came back with... magic beans!! The setup doesn't weld great (read: at all), but it sure sinks some inserts.

Building a small bench top ring roller. This video follows through on Bushing & Gears (https://youtu.be/PFqjQ3l1MRA) and Acme Tap (https://youtu.be/L3rINJWcmbA). Check those out if you find yourself wondering where some of these parts came from. A special thanks to Mr. Pete for being such a great sport! https://www.youtube.com/user/mrpete222 ---- Music: You Make Me Feel Good - Jingle Punks Ether - Silent Partner Et Voila - Chris Haugen

Ever wanted to braze your own carbide tooling? And what about HSS? Lots of talking early on, was in a chatty mood I guess. Start @ 5:40 and you won't miss anything important. When I'm not brazing carbide, I'm brazing in the kitchen (still carbide) with Alex French Guy Cooking. Check him out at: https://www.youtube.com/user/FrenchGuyCooking Thanks Alex!

New-to-me old vertical bandsaw, great addition so far. Tour of the saw, then some blade welding with TIG. And the usual shenanigans, of course. So my "interlacing" joke backfired. Oh cruel world. Always something, eh? ---- Music: "Apocalypse" - SYBS

How're those long TIG welds laying down for ya? Some thoughts on tig in general, torch angles and getting through those longer welds. Up your motor skills before worrying about filler! ------- Music: Baroque Coffee House - Doug Maxwell

Not much more to add to the title. Some thoughts on weld puddle control from a licensed & fully insured hobbyist.

Metal Spinning -- taste the danger! First attempt, mixed results. You might have questions I don't have answers to... I'll get into details in the next vid. Just don't hold your breath, k? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music: "Operatic 3" - Vibe Mountain

Fixing a thing!! -------------- Music: 'At The Fair' - The Green Orbs & 'Smoked Kielbasa Polka' - Doug Maxwell/Jimmy Fontanez

This is a follow-up to the DIY Filler video. You've got questions, I've got questions. ----- Music: 'Cross The Road' - Silent Partner

Bit of a break down and rebuild of Alex French Guy Cooking's internet pasta machine. Looking forward to see what he'll do with it next. Hope you enjoy. For more info, be sure to check out Alex's Pasta Machine Videos: https://youtu.be/ZEObYihnJRA https://youtu.be/xPR90f48qCE ------------- Music: "Wild Pogo" - Francis Preve, & "Hollywood High" - Silent Partner

Air file, anyone?

Directors-Cut Noodles! Thoughts/details I took out of the official video. Long chat about the build strategy & CNC engraving. Plus some other stuff probably... I don't remember. If you haven't seen the first part: https://youtu.be/cygx0Ng6qMk Alex French Guy Cooking's video about this machine: https://youtu.be/tplkJOQeSY0

This one's been a long time coming: 2 piece vise for the milling machine and CNC router! You'll never believe how many pieces!! (two) If you're into vises, check out Mr. Pete's builds: https://www.youtube.com/user/mrpete222

It's here! The breakdown you've all been waiting for is finally here! (follow up to the Air File video) Clickspring! https://www.youtube.com/clickspring

Bonus footage! Title says it all, though this is specifically about grinding wheel wear. FYI, my go-to general purpose wheel is a Norton 5SG.

Filing and Sawing Machine?! starts at 11:00 This is an old machine: scrap metal by today's standards, but in a home shop? ... probably still scrap metal, but so far I'm impressed. Special thanks to Adam of ABOM79.

Not sure what this is called but always wanted to build one. Mix between a handvise and a bench clamp?

I have no idea what that title means. In fact, I hardly know what this video is even about. But perhaps you might enjoy a chat in the garage? Mostly about the FLIR ONE PRO and C2 compact cameras, but somehow, a Benjamin Marauder makes it into the show. Music: 1940's Slow Dance -- Doug Maxwell/Media Right Productions

Never TIG brazed a day in my life; always wanted to try it. Join me as I probably do a ton of stuff wrong! Music: "Danzon De Pasion" - Jimmy Fontanez/Media Right Productions

Quick vid on how your flow rate settings can impact your welds. Sometimes just a smidge more (or less!) can go a long way.

The top fell off the rotary weld table and the bandsaw guides are loose as a goose. Perhaps even looser. But who's to judge?

Got my hands on a more suitable spinning metal. Trying it again! Spoiler: spinning is still hard. Nonetheless, I push forward with Plan B for a larger strobe reflector.

Before/if getting into a bigger project, I'm taking a new stepper drive through setup and test run.

Rise & Shine! Very quick update on the motor - All squared away!

Feel like talking about Pulsed TIG welding? And by talking I mean listening. Whether it's with an amp controller or built-in, use it to fine-tune heat input, weld out of position, or simply as an aid to learning. Note well: 1. some rambling goes on here 2. flashing, occasionally, but not a lot 3. I'm not a real weldor 4. More ABOM welding @ https://www.youtube.com/abom79

This video is a spindle build -- a spindle used as both a CNC lathe and 4th axis / indexer for the router. Working better than I thought, but I've still got a long way to go. Music: Tag You're It - The Whole Other Hermanos Ranchero - Biz Baz Studio

My router add-on toy CNC lathe axis thingy... let's try cutting steel! Note: no idea why some of the machining audio got out of sync. Couldn't fix it. Okay fine, I didn't feel like fixing it. It's not that bad. If you haven't seen the build video, it's here: https://youtu.be/mAZei3wpBe0 if you want shirts and stickers: https://www.teespring.com/thisoldtony

CNC Etch-A-Sketch! Probably as good a project as any to get a handle on the basics. Very basics. Tentatively, the big picture is this: Part 1: CNC hardware / electronics / wiring Part 2: Software, setup and calibration https://youtu.be/eLdlV3-JaH8 Part 3: Machine Design -- Music: "Sally Goodin" & "Reuben's Train" - Nat Keefe with The Bow Ties

I didn't invent this but it doesn't appear to be as common knowledge as it should be. Thought I'd share. In case anyone asks, no the walls don't need to be 90*. Works with any shape house, hut, shed, or shanty.

Variable Speed Mini Lathe! There is a game plan here, but for now, let's have a look and kick the tires on the infamous mini lathe. Lathe Levelling Video: https://youtu.be/THkb-x35fwc

Simple spindle bearing upgrade: small fixes to the mini-lathe can go a long way. The part numbers are in the video. I'd recommend sealed angular contact bearings. -- Music: Gaiety in the Golden Age - Aaron Kenny
