I've yet to teach him how to do stick or MIG, though.

Your videos have helped me be encouraged to try new techniques and to branch out with my skills.

I love the humor you share and think it’s awesome that you are giving away some machines to help a couple of people have the chance to really increase their skills. I hope to own a similar machine one day so I can finally get started learning TIG welding! Thanks for your content!

I've been stick welding since childhood (my grandfather quite literally introduced me when I was 12 years old). Been thinking of learning to tig weld for ages - picking the right welder has just gotten a lot harder. Thanks for your take on the revolution - as sharp and entertaining as always!

Excellent review of the welder! Glad to see new posts also. I retired from doing machine repair a couple of years ago, but like a marine, once a machinist always a machinist. I liked the way you slid in the little subliminal suggestions to "subscribe" and "You look great today" and others where the "Made in Italy" logo is. BTW my dog also barks at the mention of E-Bay. Reading the comments it also does my heart good to see how much you inspire people to get into the trades. We need this. Kudos!!

Hey ThisOldTony, your videos have inspired me to begin welding and make my own microwave oven stick welders to get into the hobby. Eventually got a decent used mig welder, and have been really wanting to get into tig welding aswell for some exhaust work. Still have a long way of learning ahead of me but I appreciate the amount of care you put into these videos, can’t wait to graduate, and put all that knowledge to work!

I've loved your channel and content since the beginning. I'm so glad you made it. You deserve it.

Thanks again!!!

Tony you are literally the main reason I secretly took out a loan and bought a dead machinist entire shop. Still learning everything I have. But I really need a welder since he sold his before he died. (The piece of crap didn't empty his coolant!!!! So i had to replace all pumps) but my wife knows your name as the guy who cost her a garage and 15k. Lol.

My partner is a student at one of the best welding training programs in our state and they have shown a ton of talent thus far, and they have a personal goal of using the welding experience to serve their community. I've been a huge fan of yours for years now, from way back with the Wintergatan crossover. Great to see you uploading again!

Love your channel and all the projects you share. Everytime i see a welding video I keep going "gotta get me one of those". My goal is to teach my kids how to make/repair everything but welding is something I wasn't taught nor have. I look forward to hearing about how to enter the contest.

While I'm not a machinist or anything along that line, I enjoy how you make your videos both informative and humorous!

Again a great video TOT! Been following you for a couple of years, i've seen all of your video's (multiple times). They never get old! Started fixing and building stuff when I was about 14. Learned my self to weld (MIG, TIG, MMA) and how to use a lathe. You sparked my interest in machining even further, so a year ago (at 26) I started taking lessons! The machinery's handbook even made it's way to my living room. It would be great to join the give-away since a good welder would be a great addition to my (still growing) home shop. Keep up the good work, cheers!

As always, this video is fun, informative and useful. I enjoy your brand of humor and love how much I remember of the video, even days later…..when I’m at an age where I often forget what we talked about 10 minutes ago…😅

Liking the HTP Revolution. Love welding aliminum! Thanks for your time & knowledge. Terry

Great review. About 25y ago, I tried aluminum MIG once for about 30 seconds in a welding course. Of course the settings, lights and mood music was perfect to fire off an amazing looking weld and make me think I actually knew what I was doing. Fast forward and now I have a DC TIG and recently bought an AC TIG for aluminum. I feel you are 95% responsible and don't regret it at all. I'd love to get the MIG, but I am in Canada and you'd have to sneak it past the canoes, poutine factorys and maple trees.

I think there's advantages and disadvantages. Size is the main disadvantage I have a couple of Stel machines the company that makes these for HTP in Italy, and even though my pro pulse or Iron Mig as it's called in Europe can do stick and DC tig, because I do a lot of mobile work I tend to use the Stel equivalent of the Inverarc 200 tlp. Its so small and handy that it's just easier to grab it and go for Stick or DC tig. But having the multi process there too is definitely helpful. It probably depends on your use case. In a shop having one machine would be a nice setup.

Welding is something that I've always wanted to get into, most of what I do is in wood though, and my woodworking takes up a lot of my space, I know my wife wouldn't let me buy a welder, but if I was (gifted one) how could she say no. I really enjoy and appreciate everything you go through to make these videos and all just to entertain me. Thanks for giving back to your community tot.

This was something I've always wanted to learn, and it would be nice to have one of those machines you're giving away. It would sure beat the one I bought at Home Depot for 269 bucks to learn and practice. Anyhow, I really enjoyed the video and hopefully down the road I would love to educate myself more via a welding course I have on my sights.

Welcome to the welding world Jose! As someone who is more or less a self taught welder, I highly recommend checking out the Welding Tips and Tricks KZread channel. Jodi is a master welder and with his videos and plenty of practice, I was able to start welding professionally. It’s a great resource to help teach you everything you’d need to know to be able to weld up whatever project you decide to tackle!

Last night, I noticed a Dutch-angle shot of a milling operation, on a different channel; I immediately thought it must have been in homage to Tony. Then - and best of all - a new ToT video, mere hours later! This channel is why I fell in love with machining and TIG welding (so I'm pretty excited when I see that there's a new episode!).

Great video, again! I watched this as my last late-night relaxing video, very nice. Thanks for your work!

I was thinking about Tony this morning wondering if he’s ok. Even though if he’s ok is up to debate, we’re thankful for this new video on a Saturday. 😊

Hey this old tony, I love your videos and cant thank you enough for what you have done. Showing me the world of engineering, Just wow. Because of you i’m now doing a study in mechanical engineering and i love it. And the thing is…. I already know so much at school because of what you have thought me with your funny jokes and hand gestures. So with all my heart, thank you for being such an amazing teacher and showing me the world of engineering❤ p.s you are more than welcome to come over for dinner

As a recovering lobbyist, your channel has given me the courage to quit my job, completely change my ways, and inspire me to become a scummy entrepreneur! Watching your old welders in countless videos has been great, and I think I'd swoon pretty hard if I got to work in the shop with one of em.

Thank you for always making great videos. I love finding the little Easter eggs along the way.. and I'm sure I miss plenty too. I look forward to the next video!

Really one of your best Tony. The sounds that thing can make is worth the cost of admission

Really glad you are posting again. Learn lots, while having a laugh.

Keen on the 221. Been dreaming of owning a nice AC HF TIG since my teens. Bought my MIG on student loan money and still have it and use it often. Having a nice TIG would open up my options massively. Thanks for all the effort you put into your vids, much appreciated.

I almost always save these to be the last videos before going to bed. Helps my brain slow down and its just magical camera work for a hobby guy

Glad to see more of your videos! I took one welding class and absolutely loved it. My family has never owned a welder but I would eventually like to get one. My brother and I have been getting into tractor restoration and we would find a welder useful. One idea I had for the welding market is a garden hose attachment for optional water cooling. Granted a leaky garden hose and electrical doesn’t sound too great together.

Looks like a nice machine. I recently picked up a very similar green machine, and so far I absolutely love it. I'm new to welding, in any real capacity, and I'm blown away by the technology available and the ease of use on these new inverter machines. I only hope that they have similar longevity to the older transformers, at least for my hobby use.

I always dreamt to have a mig welding machine. So, here I am. I love to build things for hobby and never had one of those. I really want to try aluminum welding!! So here I am. Kudos to you for being so entertaining with your videos, I never missed one from the day I discovered your channel!

I have to immediately watch when I see a new TOT video; so calming and well edited.

Love these videos. So inspired to get a simple mig welder for my projects😊

Love watching your videos Informative and very entertaining. Was a welder for 42 years and missed Tig Welding. I used a Syncrowave 350 for years. The machine didn't have pulse but was very reliable. Used to run that welder at top end for hours, and it never broke down.

Your channel has been key to fanning the flames of my interest in the hobby machine shop. There are only a few channels out there that get me excited to get a youtube notification, yours being top of the list. Your witty and humble approach to making even the simplest of projects makes the whole shop seem attainable to idiots like me. Thanks for all you've done. Looking forward to the details about the giveaway, that would be an interesting seed to plant in my garage.

Answered so many of my noob questions about where to possibly start in welding. I do some Gunsmithing so it seemed TIG was all I might need. But I do some auto work and training myself on general machine shop. Now I better understand where MIG plays a role plus how some of the advanced features really help out. Thanks!

I'm filled with envy at the nice welders. Sure beat my cheap chinese model! thanks for the videos. They lighten my day whenever I see them!

I like the look of your new machine ! I have an Everlast PowerPro 256Si multi processor which has AC / DC TIG, pulse , Stick , and Plazma cut to 20mm, it works great. The MIG function on your new machine is impressive......keep up the great videos ! Cheers from down under.

Very nice! If I were to ever get one you put my mind to ease. Love that welder! Thanks!

Here and there, at times years later. It’s pretty cool that’s you are paying it forward to those in need. Something I’ve always lived by. Consider this my name in the hat. That 221 would be a great addition to my motorcycle shop. Oh and by the way, thanks for all the one liners i get to pull on my soon to come son. You’re a dude.
