Mount the tig button in a mouth guard, bite force amp control 😁

[jaydaniels]

when you mentioned the safety concerns I moved my computer about 20 feet away and watched with binoculars. Safety first

[nicolasaudouard]

It's too bad you don't have a lathe... you could have made a spacer to mount the bosch chuck.

[Mekhanic]

Hey TONY! Mount the TIG button in your shoe! It's a life changer :)

[tylerd.]

Wow, 24 minutes and 11 seconds. Seamlessly nailed it.

[RonCovell]

WOW - a new video from This Old Tony! As always, I dropped everything to watch it from start to finish. I can count on your videos to be hilarious, and full of unexpected learning opportunities!

[IvyMike.]

What do you mean "thanks for watching", no, THANK YOU for sharing your content Tony ;)

[sgibbons]

Anyone else think that ToT sounds like Alan Alda? I swear, ToT could just be reading the dictionary, no picture, just a black screen, and I'd still enjoy his videos because of how awesome his voice is. Guess we're all just lucky that he actually has great content too!

[tbernardi]

TOT, you deserve a Major Award, even if you have to make one for yourself.

12 seconds

i appreciate the extra second of Tony

[humbertoperinni]

Thanks, Tony. You fill a gap (not in the wrong way) in my graduation. I'm a mechanical engineer and I lack a whole lot of shop experience. Your videos help me get more of that 'practical feeling'. Great video, as always.

[TheManLab]

I ❤️ all of your videos and content TOT!
You make my life so much happier, even after watching loads of your videos countless times because it just makes me feel better about my life. I really want to get into fabricating and machining (as a hobby) but I need 2 things for that to happen, funds and space. I used to have a single car garage (which you might get a fiat 500 or a mini), but now I only possess a 8"x6" wooden (cheap and nasty) shed. Which I can't even move in because there's stuff screwed and fixed to every single surface.

So, for me being able to build a shed. It needs to be less that half the size of my 39.755mm3 garden (for reasons). So getting a mill, lathe, work benches and a metal work bench for metal fab n it also needs to be made out of wood (for reasons).The joys of new build houses in England, where everything's on a postage stamp 😪 🤦🏻‍♂️ It's pretty crap tbh 😕
Going from being a sparking, talking home over £30k a year. Then waking up after having a motorbike accident, which left me with my left leg up to my groin suffering from a brain injury n having to deal with agonising crippling pain & phantom pain because my hip is so badly mangled I can't wear a leg and need a special operations which the NHS aren't doing atm ☹️ The only work I can do now is bench work, which I've come to found out is as rare as rocking horse 💩

It's also given me quite bad depression and anxiety. Which doesn't help when no one can properly help with my year in year out pains. And the same goes for walking and PTSD 😐

Everyone who rides a bike on the road knows the consequence, as I've had a few close in counters in the past as I was riding on and off for around 10yrs.
Something I've learned over the years is that it's not worth it, even though I'm a biker till I die try of people. I would still love to ride again but as you could imagine, my family isn't very keen on the idea 😳

Anyway!! 😪
Watching this again and I forgot to say first time, but with the drill. Why don't you just trim off that excess bit if plastic which overhangs and does absolutely nothing apart from getting in the way of you using the chucks you've always wanted?
You could set it up in the mill or lathe to get a nice professional, or belt sander. Either that or you could just cut little bits of (similar to whittling a stick/bit of wood) at a time like a beaver?


I'm sorry Tony for venting on one of your videos. Like most people, there's a lot more to my story which has made my life even worse than it already it 😪😞

Watching a man named Tony talk about his poop shooting shenanigans. What a time to be alive

[TheJoyofPrecision]

+1 for the leg lamp. It's a major award!!

[censusgary]

Now that we’ve seen your collection, This Old Tony, your new nickname is Chuck.

[kutamsterdam]

Love your subtle humor besides your craftsmanship, enjoy your vids immensely.

[brother]

This Old Tony you have helped me in my school im studying in finland and i know more than anyone there and im in my first year the teachers are suprised i love this chanel keep doing this good stuff

[AcuraRSXtypeS]

If you tighten the chuck all the way, then turn it gently the other way, you will hear it "click"... this little trick has saved my relationship with my Milwaukee drill.

[erikisberg]

If You consider making something like the TIG button DIY, look for FSR force sensing resistors. They are available in different sizes and shapes. Glue it to a solid backing and put a drop of silicone or smilar on top of the sensor and You have a simple force sensing button. I have used these many times in similar applications with good results. Made a bite force to drill rpm controller for a disabled dentist using these many years ago.

My grandfather was a brick layer. But his passion was metal work. He knew alil about alot of different things. U remind of him. He's the reason why i got into working metal. I was fascinated about welding. He had me using a soldering iron. Then spot welding first. Lol. First gas. Then stick. Mig and eventually i learned to tig. Messing with metal for 40+
