Just like it says on the tin, home built rotary table for welding.
Always wanted one of these. Wasn't disappointed.

What a great job on both video and turntable!? Very impressive welding too
I know you're just being nice.. appreciate it. ;)
weldingtipsandtricks I can see Jody sitting back in his chair with his legs crossed and smiling during the whole video. TOT, great results and entertaining video! Thanks for the perfect start to my day. Joel.....
It's nice seeing Jody all dressed up for the video. And 'my neighbor's car is yellow." Brilliant!
I knew that was Jody! I questioned myself for a min!

Wow that was a quick 33 minutes! Beautiful video
Thanks Chris!
Thanks to both of you for all the inspiration. It's really fun seeing both your personalities in your work.
When you know you've hit it large. ?
you've made, tony. when this guy is complimenting you, you have arrived
That was 33 minutes? *_Wow._*
Can't say it enough. Love your channel.
Thanks!
Practical Engineering one of my gods likes the oder god!!!!!
@@ThisOldTony I love your channel and your builds. This was a great project, made so nice and clean. But just one thing got me triggered a bit. All metal box, 3 bolts connector for power... and NO PE connected to a cover? Shame on you Mister! Just one more weld of 6mm screw and one more cable for this project to be a full masterpiece... Don't worry, partially joking but i would add just that cable to a cover for safety :) Maybe it's just my proffesional deviation as we call it here :) Wonderful work, good humour! Keep it up and always have fun with things you create:) On the other hand, if you put a wire ground on your cover, you would have to separate that gearbox electrically from it, otherwise you will make a wonderful toasting machine... decisions, decisions, decisions...
ogi22 can you explain this more so I understand what the risk is? I would like to make one.
Thanks for not being a knob and not making this a 19-part series in real-time.
Of course some knob will say he prefers to see every minute in real-time.

Thanks Boss! I'm just gonna keep pushing my luck then... ;)
hahaha Imagine the conversation: "Honey, guess what I got myself." "Oh god." "A rotary weld table!" "Oh, thank god."
I can't even imagine how much time and effort went into filming this video, all yours that I've seen for that matter. Inspiring!
Hey Taylor, with your awesome new home shop you can start amassing your own collection of machine tools. A nice little metal lathe and a vertical mill will really expand your abilities. Totally worth it, trust me.
INCREDIBLE VIDEO!!

Nice welding turntable, I like some of the design elements, like the cavitys for clamping it to the table. Btw.: You know that Matthias Wandel cant be imprissioned? He will build a wooden Gizmo to free himself. Or just do the Wandel-Leap out of the prison.
Thanks Stefan.. and yes that Matthias can be industrious!

The only thing better than the build was the production quality of this video. The editing and score is dead ballz perfect. I felt so relaxed and engaged throughout. Even though I may never actually build something so complex, I couldn’t help watching and waiting for what would come next! Thanks for sharing this video!!!
I weld with one of these everyday, and what really makes these easier to live with is a foot pedal control for speed.
My uncle is a welder at Boeing and he runs with 2 pedals, one for rotary and the other for the welder. He said it takes a bit to get used to but is really slick when you get the hang of it.
I bet it does!!
Be nice if you could get him to post some pics of his setup somewhere.
@@firesurfer Not a snowflake in hell chance of that happening I am afraid. A workmate of mine briefly worked at the Boeing plant here in Melbourne, Australia and said that they are super anti cameras and you're not allowed outside of your work cell. It's all to do with industrial espionage and intellectual property rights and processes.
Yea boeing would be the wrong place to film or photo anything. They need to safeguard against both military and industrial espionage. I bet it would take me a day or two to master double pedalling as im also a closet metal drummer😅👍
I need a glass of wine watching this, the edits of the build are so French! I love it!
Tony must be a great fan of Amélie. He did a great job.
Gersberms Well have you ever actually seen Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Tony in the same place? You know that occasionally happens with time travel; sometimes you change the political landscape, other times you hide out as an acclaimed french film director. You know typical timey-wimey stuff.
What an accomplished man, wife, kids, and a turning table. What a beautiful life!
Hey TOT, Just couldn't resist. Anyways, I used to be a Prototype Welder/Fabricator at my last welding job, was also a Journeyman Boilmaker, and I really knew how to make those drinks! (but I digress), I was always was working on something new. Your turntable reminded me of 2 things. I had to weld multiple hydraulic cylinders with their end caps. All parts were machined in our machine shop (back in 1983). So I grabbed a RIdgid pipe threader, that had the chuck large enough to accommodate the cylinders, and got a foot pedal hooked up for the variable speed welding with MIG using .045 wire. They turned out real nice, and no leaks! The 2nd thing I did was I just took a big old bearing and a round plate of steel and made a hand spin table. Had to weld these big steel wheels for Hyster Fork Lift Trucks that they lift in/out of the hold of ships to load/unload. The welds were stitch welded opposite on each side with this inner plate as the hub.. The diameter of these babies were 36" inches, and it was 1" flat bar 10" across rolled to make it round. Anyways I got complimented by the machinists as they said they could set their tooling on the lathe to my welds as they were always 1/64" within a 3/8" leg doing 3 passes. Ah those were the days. -CD
If you could do just a few more videos per week I'd drop my cable tv.
Art has to be when it''s ready.
Lee Steele do his some good dolar
Lee Steele he'd have to hire a production crew and quit his job to be able to do that
Lee Steele Hahahaha!!!! Me too!
His videos are like hard drugs though. 30 seconds after I finish one, I want another sooooo bad!
I am looking for some rotary weld chairs to go with this table. Do you know where to find some?
Hand Tool Rescue some of those nice barstools that can spin go nice with this, but you might want to motorize it so it can spin
Needs some indents on the potentiometer so you can quickly find the required speed. You know, 33, 45 & 78 maybe?
33 1/3....
@@VailsMom Well spotted.
Since I am a child of the fifties, sixties and seventies, that incidental music really brought it home for me. WAY TO GO TONY!
Nowadays I push the thumbs-up button before I even start watching your video... I wish KZhead would let me "like" videos multiple times. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this for us.
thanks Frank!
lol, and super nice build.
How did you get out already? Did the council rescind your punishment? ;)
If I had to guess, he combined his orbiting time lapse camera jig and some french cleat hooks together
frank howarth wkwkwk
Thanks Frank!
Just thinking, You could have also built this much simpler by purchasing a "truck tarp motor" 12vdc motor already attached to a right angle drive, good low speed for $100. but the creativity I LOVE!!
Nearly spilled my tea with that yellow car joke lol
Jesus, Tony. I keep wondering if your background is in video production. I can show your vids both to my wood working father and my girlfriend's 9 year old daughter and they are both mesmerized. How do you do it?
Aaron Baca I have to wonder! Anytime I see his profile picture pop up in my subscription box I know it's gonna be an interesting video. He's one of the very few KZheadrs who I watch every video no matter the topic
Arron Baca, by chance were you in a game community called Iron Phoenix?
Aaron Baca I was thinking the same thing. Maybe he got some new software and wanted to push the limits. when it was over, I couldn't believe 33 minutes had gone by. Tony just produced a whole episode that rivals most shows you would see on cable but, he did it by himself in his spare time! Tony is a gifted man!
This guy is doing KZhead correctly, entertaining AND informative :D
Oh man Tony really is some kind of magician...he makes a 33 min video feel like 3 min...just amazing
I was showing my wife just now as we are going to bed and she said is that the spring guy? I had showed her the spring video when it came out and until about a minute in, she thought it was "how it's made". I also pointed out that you made the machine that was routing the plastic and she asked if you were married :-(
You should have said "Yes, to me.".
Men cant really do anything interesting while in a relationship. Always suffocated by swmbo's demands. Sad..
@@datadavis piss off
Great video, I very much enjoyed being a guest in the machinist mindset for 30 minutes 😊
"Thought I'd play it safe. The neighbors car is yellow" haven't laughed so hard all year. Great work, keep it up
Well it is now.
god damn, I lost it when you had jody's head 'shopped onto an old-timey gentleman. Don't ever stop poking fun at all the other youtubers. I watch all their content compulsively, and have been for a few years now. Keep it up Ol' Tony!!
Thanks Preston!
I thought about taking a screenshot of that pose and sending it to Jody... along with and old pipe to see a reenactment on weldingtipsandtricks.
*has super expensive tools and seemingly unending resources* *builds fancy lazy susan*
"THE COUNCIL" excellent! Great build and video! Thank you for sharing!
Tony, your eye for lighting and for what makes a great shot is really really shines in this one. I always enjoy your vids.
I REALLY dig YOUR personality (you're quite funny to listen to), and the way you produce your films (GOOD QUALITY, both video and audio). And besides, you also have a explanatory way to tell the things you do, as you seem very knowledgeable! They are ALL suiting ME very well! Thanks for all your hard work, and please keep it up! You're doing a fine job!
Thanks and thanks for watching Roland!
"Mid-life crisis" is so far back in my rear view mirror I don't even remember it ...too good.
The mechanical/engineering/diy + background sound + visual, just the right mix for my relaxing and peaceful sunday :) Thanks Tony
One of your best build videos yet and that's saying something. Really tidy design, well executed and highly entertaining. Top job. Thanks.
Tony, every time I watch you it makes me want to get a TIG welder.
Why dont you? Everyone should have a tig!
@@datadavis I've looked at the prices for decent TIG welders before. Knocks the desire right out of me.
@@gamemeister27 a cheap one is better than nothing i suppose. wouldnt want to be without my migatronic pulse tig though, it was around 1200 euros. Though i got it for free when the company i worked for changed owners, haha.
Those welds though!!!! Specially the stainless tubing!!!! King of kings!
yeah, that went super
Have you ever welded before? He had it on pulse so the ripples were perfectly spaced because his welder was adding them and just held the torch in the one position. He wasn't adding rod because it was a fusion weld. The only thing he had to do is maintain arch length. An 8 year old child could of welded that SS tube.
Gus bisbal, If I already knew I wouldn't be watching him, im not a moron... Oh wait... If I wanted to be a moron, then I would know exactly what he's doing then go on the comment section and call out those that don't? How about this..... If you're such a bad ass welder, then where is your videos?
Made ya angry hey? Oh well, guess this is upsetting for you. I am not doing a video to prove myself. have a guess why.... I never though or said you were a moron. Consider you called yourself that and it never entered my mind. Maybe don't be so negative with yourself and then you would have understood what I was saying, that he had automated the welding process and that is why it looked awesome. Have a look at Jody Coliers (weldingtipsandtricks) videos of a welding lathe with the torch on pulse and a clamp holding the torch and it looks just like His SS weld. and a person is not even involved in that
Gus- Definitely not upset, and I was calling you a moron! Reading and comprehension isn't your strong suit! Stick to welding like a 8 year old, after all you have a lot in common!
Your videos breath life into my tool loving world. Nothing like a video of some good cutting, welding, and machining after a long day of looking at code.
Just picked up your channel, your production quality is phenomenal. Thank you!
Beautiful editing, music AND content. Perfection!
Hey Tony, thank you for a new video! Can't watch it right now though, but I'll be back later! Just wanted to thank you already. See you then!
Great build and video. Seriously, you inspire me in ways no other KZheadr has. Your videos show that you are relatable, fallible, and human. And that gives me hope. Thanks for keeping it real.
One thing I realized would be super useful if I made my own: A spindle thru hole, like on a big lathe, allowing you to spin long sections.
You have the best thumb toes on KZhead!
hah
Wow, I'm really impressed by the thought and attention to detail of this project. I really enjoy your videos and always learn something plus they inspire me to make something. Thank you.
The content of your videos are amazing. I am presently recovering from an operation and thanks to you, these are keeping me entertained.
I really like that turntable build. There's been times that I could have used something like that. Going to dig through all my junk see if I've got enough stuff to build one of those thanks for the inspiration
Oh man. So good. Brilliant job!
Thanks Retro!
Really Tony? no music came from that turntable? I was waiting for it the whole 33 minutes...
I know. and ashamed.
Pfff... I waited 33 1/3 minutes!
33 1/3 RPM XD I get the joke.
@@mattmanyam I see what you did there 😁👍
This Old Tony, you make the most beautiful things! Thank you for sharing!
Awesome job! Truly awesome! And like Jody said, the project itself plus the work on the video A+++++ Thanks Tony!
tony i would have to say your videos are just a piece of art, an the builds you do are just amazing. i have learned a lot from your videos! keep up the good work sir an thank you
Thanks Chuckie!
I'm glad I was sipping a glass of red wine through this video. I feel very relaxed now....
Great job Tony!🎚🙏🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾
Talent and skills. Skills and talent. A real entertainment. Stunning job! Thanks for sharing Tony!
I never knew one could be sexually attracted to welds
Excellent video and cool project. Thank you for sharing!
Love this build, absolutely astonishing, I really want to build one for myself now.
Sheer joy, watching you build 👏
i dont like that often but this is a complete 10/10 for me. so many things you thought about to get a good tool
It is scary how much I enjoyed this video. Hopefully my wife doesn't read this...
This build is a perfect geared down version of a graver sharpener. Thank you tony!
Just watched this video, love your humor and style. The first thing that jumped to mind was a sewing machine foot pedal to control the rotational speed of the table. I am currently working through the incredible backlog of content and enjoying them all. Keep up the amazing work and don't change a thing.
Great tool, great production of the video and some nice looking welds too. As with all machines one needs to get used to it, set it up for the job and practice with it to achieve perfection! Top job young man!
"Alright, that was a nightmare" I lost my shit. and yeah i totally feel like you have a background in cinematography, keep it up sir, i love your content.
ToT you are an amazing guy! I just got my Miller 200DX today, now for a torch, visor and foot pedal and I'm going to follow in your footsteps! Thanks for the inspiration bub!
Tony, you nailed it again. Production quality, script, humor, even your project choice. You're setting a new standard of excellence in this online community.
My wife is staring at me with a perplexed look. I then realize, I have just squealed like a little girl, when the "This Old Tony " notification popped up.
Wir können auch Spaß haben... Nice video, love the cameos!
I've watched this before, just checking what you used. I just can't get over how perfect that picture of Jody is. Priceless.
Watched it for the 3rd time since it was released, still feels like a 33 seconds videos! Amazing build!
these videos are masterpieces. really well done!
Who gives something like this a thumbs down...? Somewhere out there are fifteen people so far who are either insanely jealous of Tony's mad fab and video skilz, or who have serious fine motor skills challenges and meant to hit thumbs up instead.
Bad aim? I'm guessing those guys don't share a bathroom with a woman.
Glad we have old videos to enjoy during this time. No matter what we all hope you are doing well. Can't wait to hear from you
I went back and watched this video for the second time and caught the Frank Howarth reference, which served as an introduction. I'm now binge-watching Frank's videos. I think I see where you got some of your inspiration for your excellent videography.
Hey Tony please keep up the amazing and entertaining content! You've become pretty much my favourite KZheadr!
Thanks!
i don't know why but yellow makes things look lighter (as in weight) i would imagine i would underestimate the weight of that thing if i went to pick it up.
yes it's quite 'dense'!
Love your videos Tony. I've seen this video I don't know how many times and it's great every single time!
Amazing! Nicely done! You are one gifted person. Thanks for sharing.
I love your builds! Thanks for the amazing videos.
And just like that.... 33 minutes of my life was spent. But as always, with a spell binding video!
nice work , a lot of fun watching it, please keep posting more videos.
Nice craftsmanship. Added to a playlist for a future project
Great build. Super video. Somebody years form now will find that thing and go crazy searching the internet for the brand as if it was a commercial model. \Better than TV, If we could get you and Clickspring Chris to post daily I would sell the TV. Jim
Nice build, those dynabrade sanders are super handy but $$. It's tricky using table as you found, a foot switch to start stop is nice, but I never could control the speed with one foot and the amperage with the other. Having a rest for your hand in which you can move slightly is helpful to cheat the speed a little for a short distance.
yes new they are (were?) expensive. At the time there weren't import options. I've never used one of those though. About the table.. I need more time on it for sure!
One of my favorite videos so far. Great build and you learning along with us. 😀 I love how the positioner turned out. And at least your neighbors car was already yellow. 😂

Somehow, this was in my suggested videos bar and not in my subscriptions as it damn well should be. This is yet another small thing to blame on time traveling shenanigans.
Amazing videography, editing, and production skills. Not to diminish your metal working skills either. Fantastic work!
You did a beautiful job on that! Nicely executed and very well thought out. You really are an amazing teacher! Greetings from Arizona.
It might be prudent to insulate the ground clamp well, if the paint scratches off, it could cause some weld current to go through the chassis and ruin your gearbox.
soupisgdfood first thing i thought off when i saw it
Not really... the electrons will follow the path of least resistance, so as long as there's still a good connection through the shaft, no current will travel through the gearbox or bearings.
Awesome build!! Thank you for making and sharing video and build!
Another Golden Old Tony Episode. Awesome job, you make it look so easy when you put these together but the video content and explanation and just plain comfortable way you present make s me chase each and every Old Tony episode. What do you do for your real job, whatever it is you are like;y excelling the same at that. Thank for the time and efforts you put into these.
you deserve a million subs!
He's getting close!
Hi - I know this was done a long time ago, but... Could you make a small 3 point pipe clamp with brass wheels for a ground clamp on the shaft. This would leave a lot of room to fit a 90º gas swivel fitting on the end??!! Oh - you could also plug in an MP3 player so that "Unchained Melody" ('Ghost' Soundtrack) from the Righteous Brothers plays when you turn it on....
My favourite channel on KZhead. Keep up the great work, Tony!
