I haven’t done that yet, but did you turn the volume up to 11? Tony’s masterful selection of music is the icing on the production of this multilayered cake. Not really continuous music, just a bunch of intermittent bursts of exceptional playing-which critically leave repeating gaps that allow you to hear the background sounds in the shop. Like the friction of the cube being turned…and even the dog shaking it’s head (0:55) at how bad the pun was.

At the start i was like: "Oh cool he's turning a cube on a lathe!" Then I was: "Goddammit he's turning a cube on a lathe." Thanks Tot.

Possibly the most informative YT video I've ever run across. As a beginner machinist and engineering student, I can't even begin to describe how much this technique will impact my career trajectory. Thank you, This Old Tony!!!

I've never used a lathe before, but I'm pretty curious about how machining works, so I've started watching KZread videos in order to learn about it. This is a great video for an absolute newbie like me, since everything is explained in such great detail! I can tell that it's a pretty complex process, so I can definitely see why the video had to go on for 8 minutes and 54 seconds. Overall, this is a great video and I can't wait to learn some more!

I don’t think I bothered to read the title before clicking and at about 1:55 my two dimmest neurons finally bumped into each other and I realized you were TURNING the cube. Cackled pretty hard and watched the whole thing. Love it! On an unrelated note, I just bought a minilathe and was hoping for help setting up the time travel features.

I noticed that, too! While the angle varied slightly at each rotation, the part never drifted off axis! Pretty remarkable considering he was using the wrong tool for aluminum. >.>

Based on the motion of Tony’s upper forearm at ~1:49 and ~2:53 and the frame to frame time spectral content around ~5:25, I’d say it’s safe to assume Tony has been messing with time travel again, and this whole demonstration was really an exercise in continuum calibration and spatial synchronicity between various timelines.

Watching this at 3.5x speed is oddly relaxing. Takes the music from lilting to jaunty and the turning to something you could set your watch by.

This is peak TOT keep up the great work!

Excellent video sir, I would just like to know some of the technical details: what are the speeds and feeds for this type of operation? What sort of tool was used? Looks like HSS (Hand Speed Steel) to me but I am in no way an expert.

This is the second most inefficient method of reducing the height of a cube that I have ever seen.

Yup, totally fell for it. Tony you smart- . . . ! Well done.

Had to come back and watch it again as it was a bit difficult to follow all the steps the first time around. Much easier to follow after marinating on it for a couple of weeks. Would have been much easier if you included feeds and speeds, but I have a fair idea after counting the bars of music. Thank you for including the music credits 👍

Amazing work, and with a 3 jaw chuck no less. You truly are a master machinist. Very relaxing. Love the detail and care you put into your videos.

Looking forward to part II... Can't wait to see how this "turns" out. :)

I am sure it will be a bit of reverse engineering :)

Thank the stars for you Tony. The last few days have been dreadful, and I just spent the entire day recouperating, hoping to find some faith in humanity again, having a hot bath, and so on. I saw you had a new episode up and figured it might be good for me before i go to sleep. Hopefully it'd be some fun nonsense. And then it was even better and more suitable than I could have imagined. I'll sleep fine now, all calm and relaxed. Five out of five stars. Would turn again.

This has taken a turn for the best. awesome video. Love the music.
