A couple years ago someone posted a link to a very entertaining video of a machinist whittling down an unreasonably-large piece of stock for what the final product ended up being - like an 0-80 screw or a metal toothpick or something - all the while providing non-stop witty commentary. I think it was all manual machinery, like a Hardinge tool room lathe or something. Does anyone know what I’m talking about?!?! It would make my day if you could post a link! Thank you!
 
It wasn't a This Old Tony video was it?

I don’t think so. It was “low budget”...like zero editing other than stitching the different clips together. But like no theme music, text on the screen, etc. I remember him fumbling through a few “oopses” as he was pretty fast-paced...not precision work. Like I think by the end the part was so small it was impossible to hold in the chuck so it flew out or something. He may have even ultimately, as the suspense builds, made nothing and was just actually whittling away to the very last chip.
