Added 2019-10-13 21:09:33 +0000 UTC(Update Nov 22nd, 10:00am AEST)
The support plates and suspension bracket for the BSC. No major changes from the test plate designs from last month, but I definitely felt a lot better about carving into these final components after having done the test cuts. Next up is final assembly and demo - (also a detour into an electroplating TGT on those 5 test plates.)

Here comes the sun... A small embellishment test for a certain Sundial Calendar.

Another practice plate (short clip) - this is the smallest of the set of 5 practice plates that I'm using as the basis of the next TGT - Cheers :)

A short clip from a Tools, Glorious Tools! episode that is currently in progress (TGT#8 - Learning To Engrave), please enjoy!
Cheers,

Chris, will you also publish the paper you've been working on here?

2019-12-13 18:51:47 +0000 UTCWow, just wow. As I pointed out the origins of those parts over a month ago, it's awesome to see how great they turned out. So sad to think 4 of the 5 pieces will spend most of their days hidden behind a sundial plate. It will give the device a hidden beauty. Unless of course you decide to give the dials an engraving makeover too, which at this point wouldn't surprise me.

2019-11-22 20:00:12 +0000 UTCYes Adam, that is my intention once I have completed both the research and the build - Cheers :)

2019-11-20 22:16:30 +0000 UTCHi Chris, once the Antikythera series is complete are there any plans for you to sell your cad files or drawings for the mechanism?

2019-11-20 22:10:52 +0000 UTCApparently, 5 days ;)

2019-11-02 15:04:46 +0000 UTCHey Chris, when can we expect the next full blown clickspring vid? The clickspring clips are ok and everything (and I get that you are trying to reach a wider audience) but they just not the same. I need my clickspring fix!!!

2019-10-28 23:09:35 +0000 UTCHey Chris, since discovering your channel a few months ago, you have inspired me to take everything I do to the next level. When I'm in the shop I have to remind myself of your level of detail and care and it always yields better results. Cheers mate.

2019-10-20 23:50:04 +0000 UTCARGH! PLEASE, do not use flash effect for transitions. It gives me headaches! Your latest video, "Cutting Curves with a Form Tool" have a few. :(

2019-10-18 10:27:59 +0000 UTCIs no one gonna adress the fact that the engraved parts belong to the current patreon series ? (At 0:07 you can see five different parts including what looks like the suspension arm of a certain sundial...) Seems like one lucky patreon gets to enjoy not only a master-tier mechanism, but also a wonderful engraving by Chris
Justus Dehegovit
2019-10-17 01:04:58 +0000 UTCJust wow! How much practice have you had with engraving to get to this point? So many rabbit holes to choose from. The breadth of your skills is pretty impressive.

2019-10-16 23:39:25 +0000 UTCSo finally caught up. Great stuff and glad to have learnt so much over the last few weeks. Video production is top notch and your research and explanations are excellent. Glad to be on board for the rest of the journey.

2019-10-15 16:30:52 +0000 UTCI think I have seen systems where the vice vibrates rather than the graver. And presumably this would have been done with a tiny hammer in ancient Greece?

2019-10-14 08:15:34 +0000 UTCTruly amazing hand work.
rolf redford
2019-10-14 04:56:56 +0000 UTCI cant wait to find out more about how that vice works, that thing seems super handy

2019-10-14 00:38:32 +0000 UTCI get the feeling that you are one of those people who is annoyingly great at whatever they do. You’re scrap piece is better than most peoples finished products.

2019-10-14 00:08:21 +0000 UTCHi Ralph, yes its a two handed operation, more detail in the video - Cheers :)
Clickspring
2019-10-13 21:25:49 +0000 UTCreminds me a bit of wood carving :)
2019-10-13 21:25:14 +0000 UTCChris, are you engraving with one hand and your other hand turning the vise ?Do not think I am Peter Jackson but when you release your TGT video on this a shot showing your hand placement might give a better understanding of what is going on . Ralph
