What's Next For Clickspring?

Mainly because of its place in the engineering technology tree - from the workshop tradition that made the AM, came virtually everything else - Cheers :)

Gday Chris, just wondering what turned you to make the Antikythera? Some of youtube I watch on my xbox but cant give thumbs up so now @ my comp, have just gave you loads :) Best regards G.

Hey Charles,its a long project, with a lot of twists and turns expected so I'm holding off on publishing plans/bill of materials etc until completion. It will be a lot more fun for you to build after I've ironed out all of the wrinkles and figured out the best way to make the more challenging components. Cheers :)

Clickspring

Hi Chris, I'm completely on board for this one. Any chance you might consider a patreon list of materials and tools needed? It will take me a while to get it all together and I really want to follow you step by step!

Hey Josh I am building a faithful replica based on the latest data, including the speculated planetarium - it will be a build very much focused on the details. Great to have you on board mate :)

Clickspring

Hey Chris! I always dreamed of making this device and I decided to become come on-board to give you support... The triangle teeth are going to put lots of "slop" into the mechanism. I hope you are at least updating the movement.I hope the full 5 planet orrey is also being put on the front.

Cheers Craig, great to have you on board - The prototype and research work I have been doing as prep for this project has revealed some truly remarkable engineering details from the original - can't wait to share and get everyone analyzing the detail :)

I joined for this project, the clock was fascinating but this I'm sure will make that look pale in comparison :)

Craig Somerfield

I can't even tell you how excited I am for this project.

BRILLIANT. Absolutely brilliant. You are gonna win the geeky side of the Internet with this one. I'm not usually a fan of surprises, but this one was worth the suspense. Genuine awe; I cannot wait.

Paul Grodt

Amazing. Brilliant idea. Your work is amazing, can't wait for 2017!

Steve E.

Very ambitious--buy I'll bet you can pull it off.

Awesome. I remeber watching the BBC show on this years ago and thinking how cool it would be to build or see a working one :)

Paul Busby

WOW, so exited!

Brandon Fayer

Hahaha you're a madman! I can't wait to see this!

Mike Michelizzi

Yeeessssss! I am so excited, great choice!

SCOTT SWAALEY

In wondering "What could Chris possibly do to meet the expectations he created with the clock build?" I never dared hope for something like this. A study of the AM from the view of MAKING one??? Irresistible in every way...and beyond worthy of our support!

Tom Colson

WooHoo!!!! This is going to be AWESOME!

Richard Thompson

Chris, you just made the perfect choice, i can't imagine anyone else doing it ! i'm looking forward to see the first video ! ;)

Okay everyone, who is going to make their own along with Chris?

Samuel Irons

Outstanding!!! Such a cool piece of history.

James Holbrook

Omg Chris! Always been fascinated by this artifact, cant believe your going to be doing this! This is epic truly epic! Museum worthy bud.

Aaron Caviness

Omg Chris! Always been facinated

Aaron Caviness

Wow, wow, wow!! Can't wait.

Eric Hobbs

Genius...

Duane

Can't wait :)

Awesome!

W o n d e r f u l .

I wet myself a little bit.

John Creasey

Always surpassing any expectations we may have Chris! What a teaser trailer! Much excites!! :-O

I am so excited for this!!!

Can't wait for this! I wondered how you were going to top the clock build and I reckon you chose something capable of doing that :)

AM de Jager

Dooooooood!!!!! Somebody has gone ANCIENT!

John Chadwell

Wow. That's quite ambitious - can't wait.

Damien Miller

Omg I'm more excited than I should be... CANNOT WAIT!!!

Oh, and the 2017 Patron Series project looks phenomenal as well. To paraphrase Jack Nicholson as the Joker: "Where do you gut the ideas for these wonderful toys?"

My Growth Rings

Very cool project and trailer, Chris. Well done. Scott

My Growth Rings

Chris, this is gonna be amazing! I'm so excited!

Brandon C. (Keronin)

Wow, that is ambitious and awesome. I can't wait to see this project unfold!

Fred Zyda

Chris, awesome! I am very much looking forward to this project. :D

Martel DuVigneaud

Gear up folks. According to my calculations this is gonna' be a good one!

Whoooo! I watched a doco on this a year or so ago and was thinking "this would be right up the Clickspring alley"!

I let out a large-ish "squeeee" when I realized what you were going to do. Epic, epic, epic.

Conrad Teves

Waiting with bated breath. Just got to start the clock first :-D

Doug Sullivan

If anybody can do it justice...you can. Its been proven. You have what it takes, and I can say I knew about you before this makes you famous.

This looks awesome! Great choice for the next project!

Welp, I'm thoroughly erect now.

Andrew
