Ok. Tony, we need to talk. Look, you lured me in with clever, funny videos, some of which had relevant tips for the kind of work I was doing. Then, you got it in my head that I actually needed a mill and a lathe. So last week I found myself actually buying one of each. Now I'm spending hundreds on tooling and accessories. Yes, I'm having fun, and I'm saving a beautiful former US Navy lathe from the scrapper, and the whole thing is incredibly rewarding, but I'm still blaming you. Thanks for that.

Tony made me buy an old English lathe, a Smith, Barker and Willson from 1910-1920 or so, now I'm buying some old cast iron from a pre WWII ore crusher to make into backplates. I also bought a goddamn TIG welder and I'm madly chasing a shaper. He's a menace this Tony is, giving us all these godawful hobbies. I keep chasing pay rises for more tools!!

I managed to cut a 5/8" x 8 TPI Acme nut for an old tailstock quill. I first cleaned up and recut the male thread and it ended up 15mmm OD. My tool was a composite one like yours except it was HSS retained by a grub screw. The bar was 10mm diameter so no relief grinding reqd. Like you I cut to an open end. I drew it all in CAD first so I could get the right leading & trailing clearances on the tool. Amazingly it all worked.

The best combo of learnin' and laughin'! Thank you, Tony!

That was one Dang Skippy Video, Tony....actually knicker ripping good! Had no idea that SPT could be so sensual and hilarious at the same time. Made my day and likely to go viral. Hat Tip and a big grin!

Please don't ever stop filming ! I learn a lot from your video's when I'm not pausing cause I'm laughing to hard to pay any attention.
