If you're interested in metal working/machining and like "Dad jokes", check out This Old Tony on YouTube:

Here's his surface grinder rebuild which includes milling and hand-scraping various surfaces to get them dead flat.

He's super talented and the videos are fun!

”Well this isn’t the freshest mill in the world but I figured if I was going to bite off more than I can chew I might as well go the whole nine yards”

Hah. You weren’t kidding.

Oh my goodness, is that what his older videos looked like? He's grown an incredible amount as a storyteller and video producer. Wow


He really has, his newer stuff is epic! In these dark times, he's kept me quite entertained!


You just clicked on a video about making a mostly-square block of metal even more square. (pause) Just saying.

I was hooked from the start!


I get great enjoyment out of Tony, but the dry humour of Mr Pete really does it for me. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKLIIdKEpjAnn8E76KP7sQg
