Uncle Tony doesn’t have the money or the skill to build anything. He can’t run a mill or a lathe (or he’d figure out a way to get that at the shop) let alone run any automotive machine tools with any accuracy.
Big difference between a machinist and a play engine builder.
What you fail to understand is that running a mill or lathe or building Pro Stock engines is not Tony's job. Content creation for Youtube is his job, and he seems to be OK at it.
Just like content creation was his job when he worked for magazines..
Now you have a Youtube channel, let's just sit back and see how you rate on Tony's playing field, because that will show the difference between a Journalist and a guy who once worked at a machine shop.
