It's been a year like no other folks, so its definitely time for a chill out vid. Do please enjoy this '1000 hours' style mega edit of the Byzantine Sundial Calendar project.
Without doubt, I have never felt more relaxed than watching this 27 minutes sail by.
Thank you for tuning in, have a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year, and I'll catch you all in 2021.
Cheers,
Chris.

Build info: The build is a modernised interpretation of the original sundial-calendar artefact currently located in the London Science Museum www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/ . The original artefact is currently regarded as the second oldest geared mechanism on the historical record (after the Antikythera Mechanism), and is loosely dated to around 500AD.
As the name suggests, it's a combination portable sundial and lunar calendar mechanism. In addition to being a portable sundial, it computes the current age and phase of the moon, the position of the sun and moon in the zodiac, as well as the current date. I've extended the original design to include a Lunar Node display, according to the research of the engineering historian Michael Wright. This transforms the device from a simple calendar into a very effective eclipse prediction machine. It also makes it a great tool to help visualise the celestial mechanics behind an eclipse.
Original Device: collection.sciencemuseumgroup...

O'right, "before the internet as we know it today" - or "the prehistory of the internet", if you will. Dial-up modems and such. "Such" being 15" CRT monitors ("14" viewable size"), CPUs running at 200 MHz, 6 GB HDDs, 32 or 64 MB of RAM - well, you get the idea.

In this case, he who is an Artist by that quote is also a Craftsman and a Laborer. Clickspring is an Artist, since he puts his Heart into all he does, and he's a master Craftsman to be able to do so by using his Head to make it all come together, and he is a Laborer by using his Hands to put in over a _thousand_ hours into this amazing mechanical device. Clickspring is an Artist, a Craftsman and a Laborer, he embodies the ideals of all three titles. You could probably call him a Mechanical Artisanal Craftsman. Edit: Swapped Artisan for Artisanal since the latter is the adjective form of the former.

@Chris.Davies 2 года назад

Imagine taking it back in time, to the original team of people who made it, after they heard it was lost at sea in a shipwreck. Show them the photos and x-rays of the eroded original find, and show them they used ultra-modern techniques to try to find out what it was and how it worked, and then one man used ancient techniques to re-manufacture it. Seeing how accurately it has been reproduced would be mind-blowing to them, and if we're honest - much like a restored car is much better than it left the factory, I feel confident the original workers would be shocked at how precise Chris's work is, and that it is superior to their own.

What is so impressive about this isn't that people who make things appreciate it, it's that people who don't know how to do any of these things appreciate it. It is SO obvious that you are watching a master at work that you don't even need to truly grasp what the work is. The approach and the way in which it is documented is more than enough to assert that the builder has mastered his craft. Well done, Clickspring!

Condensing hundreds of hours of worktime into a 27 min video that manages to do that is in art in and of itself.

It's easily the planning. THAT is the process that makes the mechanism.

I just want to comment on how Chris's fingernails have the same precision fit and finish as the rest of his projects. This Old Tony could learn a thing or two.

@justintorrex6676 3 года назад

This comment made me look at my fingernails and feel ashamed of the brut trims a give them. I guess precision is a habit carried in every aspect of life, even nail scaping.

WOW. The shear scale, the accuracy required and of course the famous Clickspring production elegance is just amazing. As always these videos are Gorgeous and mind blowing...

Although the outsides looks amazing the real beauty is hidden by the covers. Well done and Merry Christmas.

There are excellent machinists. There are spectacular artists. And then there is Chris. Just amazing what you can do with brass and steel.

Wow, those brackets with the inside and outside curves were some next level stuff. Always a treat to watch you work, Chris.

It was wonderful seeing you make this (again). I still might watch it the long way again yet, I love hearing you chat away as you craft. Craft doesn't seem an adequate word though. Thanks Chris.

I've been thinking about what I could say but everything has already been said or just doesn't do justice to the skill and intricacy. To say that this work is next level is an insult. These are Masterpieces within masterpieces. A powerful record for generations to come.

@AlanReeve287 3 года назад

I am a time served engineer, toolmaker & CNC programmer/setter, but watching this guy work blows my mind. The skill he has in his little finger is more than all the skill I have in my whole body. Could watch him work all day long. What a beautiful thing he has created. WOW!!!!

Mindboggling how the shavings don't change colors as well. They have less surface than the piece just blows my mind. Awesome video as always thanks

@Nerdule 3 года назад

the shavings are brass, the screws are steel. The blue oxide layer that forms is specific to steel.

with the amount of time, effort, skill, and artistry that went into making this masterpiece, it is probably just as priceless as the original.

A master craftsman is not a suitable analogy for this type or work which in all honesty is perfection, the detail is exquisite, honestly.

@helplmchoking 3 года назад

Just imagine if everything was built this way.. prohibitively expensive and slow of course, but imagine the quality we'd have if every appliance, machine, gadget and trinket was built out of the best materials to Chris's incredible standards

@rafflesmaos 3 года назад

That's kind of how it used to be back in the day, but then only the upper class could afford anything life changing. True progress for humanity only comes when essentials are available and accessible to everyone even at lower quality levels - clocks, calculators, computers, washing machines, transportation, and so on.

@aterack833 3 года назад

@@rafflesmaos the problem comes when things are also available at too low of a quality level and even price doesn’t help you know which is which, especially tools and replacement parts (for almost anything now even), and it only gets a step worse when that then becomes all that’s available in your area below the really really expensive stuff, just watch my bearing removal video

This guy is a true craftsman. The scroll engraving is what really got me. Some things you make look easy(accurate fits, locations, layouts) which in reality are not easy, and some things look just as difficult as I'm sure they are. The handwork is amazing to me. I wish I was rich enough to comission a custom grandfather clock or something with my name in it from you lol. I find it very relaxing to watch, too. Cheers!
