I built a mechanical goose and it mostly worked 

Using the right hand rule is genuinely genius.

I’ve always jokingly said “clockwisey tighty counterclockwisey loosey”. Times getting tight is such a nicer way of putting that lol

Love your tangent; in German, we call it „im Uhrzeigersinn“ literally „like the clocks mind“ or and „gegen den Uhrzeigersinn“ meaning „against the clocks mind“

You’re crazy underrated. Great content!

Amazing project, and I loved your storytelling! I've always said "clockwise lockwise" which is very stupid, but I despise the usual saying. I'll definitely be using your right hand rule trick.

The snippet with the sledgehammer, popping the wings loose: that's some very serious art going on. Really nice work!

Almost all of the chain drives I've ever seen in machinery have a spring loaded tensioner in them. I think with that length of chain it wont take much wear for the chain to start jumping. Also totally agree with you on the thread direction mnemonic, but I always just memorised it and then had to think twice when reaching around behind a bolt.

I kinda want it to randomly poop ball bearings xD

Wonderful project! Thanks so much for sharing the process :)

Nice!

Not sure if you have a mag drill? I've drilled clean holes in large pipes using a mag drill stuck to an I-beam strapped (or tacked) to the pipe, before.

good job man

what if you have a collet block of, say, size 7, holding a collet block vice of size 6, wouldn't that give you an indexing of 42? Of course, errors compound, and I'm not sure fitting a vice in a collet block would end up too large... But maybe worth a try! Cool project, by the way! Always love your hyperfixation on weird machinery

We need a rhyming pneumonic!
