You should compare your orrery to the antikithera mechanism as we now know it. If you can reach that level of accutacy, you can demonstrate how far we have come in around 2400 years.
Thank you everyone for your positive and inspiring comments. Thanks to John for making machining accessible to millions of folks through his energy, enthusiasm, and incredible clarity.. I think John, Jimmy, Chris, and Giacco et. al. demonstrate and embody the positive side of what social media could and should be. I owe a great debt to all of them. Thanks again - Mike
@@TecumsehMacGuigan I wear my watch on my right hand because my father did. He lost his left arm in a farming accident when he was in his twenties. I've tried switching it to my left hand, but it just doesn't feel right. My daughter also wears her watch on her right hand as well. On another note, I play volleyball and hit with both hands.
Having a house in NYC is the most impressive part of the video, but fitting all that awesome stuff into it without it feeling like a cluttered mess is a close close second.
@@clonkex I don't know what I was thinking. The only tactical stuff we have to see through walls is pulsed ultra wide band lower frequency stuff. It should be banned by the FCC because it's a total invasion of privacy. Regular municipal digsafe ground penetrating radar would be good enough to avoid hazards. Colin Furze is digging all around his property and supporting it properly, amazing channel.
I've never met or heard of this guy before, but he's already an inspiration to me! Giving engineers a place to work that's clean and comfortable is such an amazing thing. I think unconsciously every engineer wants to have their shop clean, organized and comfortable.
Unbelievable!, an engineer, computer scientist, programmer, inventor & machinist all in one !! What a dream come true and to be successful at it. Good luck with all your inventions and hard work, "Geniuses are born NOT created" Enjoyed the video, ............Jay
1 word....WOW!!!!! this dude is ultra organized ...this whole shop is genius!!!! i can just imagine the total cost in equipment and the hours it took to be so efficiently organized!! i think this dude might be the real Batman!!!
OH MY GOD! I'm such a huge fan of Richard! The first game I ever played back in the days on my Apple II was Ultima... and it really changed my life. Amazing to see him here. Such a great person. THANKS!
I recognized Richard's name from my childhood playing the Ultima series games on our Apple IIe computer system. The Ultima series was very instrumental in teaching virtues to live by. Thank you and thank you NY CNC for cool CNC videos!
Insane quality workshop. I've watched this 3 times in a row trying to grasp all that's in there - I guess I have to watch it at least 3 more times. It is almost unbelievable that you can do detailed work like jewelry in the same space as operating a plasma torch, TIG/MIG welders and the belt sander.
This is Jedi-level workshop design and organization... not to mention the projects being worked on. Kudos to the awesome knowledge and work, thank you for sharing!
Last point was really key. I know many people who tinker, myself included, but very few people complete projects into something you can hang in your living room. The final 10% is what separates true makers from mere tinkerers.
1 -26 -2022 That is a real shop!!! Like a dream come true ... Perfect Job , Perfect Job . Built to Perfection . I Love thanking out the box to, how can things be made better always room for improvement even if things are brand new it's always room for improvement. Love it ! .
Amazing shop. I think you get more done with all the tools in a small place, than if you had a large place to spread them apart. This is where the “less is more” applies.
I am in AWE! Nearing the time to divest of land area and the greatest mental hurtle was limitations of building things. I built an airplane in my basement, but lots go on in the garage. This is so inspirational for something I can do until my expiration date. The organization and clever innovative details are astounding. The kind of things clever experimental aircraft builders do. Doing clever things is so often a need right in front of us. Then they pay dividends in allowing creative ideas to be transformed into reality. I will have to watch this a dozen times!
I had the absolute delight to visit Mike and his workshop together with a few other fellow creators a few years back, it's definitely one of my top experiences. What an amazing guy, and devout creator and as he says himself, lunatic! Was awesome meeting you Mike, hope we can make it a repeat in the future! 🤘
I find it amusing as an electronics and software guy that you seem to be more impressed by the electronics and coding and I'm more impressed by the mechanical arms lol
No wonder most companies of international repetition started in garages or workshops the DIY culture in the US is incredible I'm always impressed whenever someone is on RU-vid showing somebody's got like you see fascinating ideas that I'm not mainstream and some of them end up becoming business ideas that's all helping humanity in various ways respects to all the guys with their garages or workshops.
Put Richard Gariott in the title to get tons of clicks from old school gamers who still remember his Ultima Games Series (esp. Ultima Online which is still ongoing for 23 years now=
Building a large shop on my property here in Japan to get all my crafts under one roof and this gives me some ideas. Precision Matthews should appreciate their free advertisement!
I'm only halfway through the vijayo and I've had to change my tee-shirt twice due to the amount of drooling I've done, also, there's only so many times I can say "OMG"", "WOW!" and "coooool!" before my wife gives me the _suspicious-eye._ *goes back to drooling That's absolutely incredible! My eyes were darting all over looking at all the gems in the background in case they didn't get included in the tour, the idiom "like a kid in a sweetshop" doesn't even get close to how most of us would be if there. That crazy light is equal parts both intriguing and terrifying! Thanks very much for the vijayo and tour. 👍 *wanders off to find a dry tee.
Holy MotherFing Good Baby Jesus! Even In My Wettest Of Wet Dreams I Couldn't Imagine A Place That Is That Seriously AMAZING!!! &Absolutely Perfect!!! I Had A Rush Of Sooo Many Different Emotions Watching This... .. Some I Can't Even Identify.. .. All I Know Is I Kinda Feel Like Throwing Up.. &I'm Depressingly Jealous To My Core. If I Was Their I'd Definitely Feel Like I Died &Went Too Heaven.. You LITERALLY COULDN'T Make Me Leave If You Tried.. Seriously One Of The Most Perfectly Optimized & Flawlessly Implimented Places I've Ever Seen. This Guy Is Seriously My New Hero.
I was involved with the Antikythera Mechanism for years before I found Chris. I had built a low quality version of the mechanism (plastic gears, etc.). We have become close friends, continuing Antikythera discussions and research, but talking about life, politics, and philosophy as well. Chris is not just the most impressive maker, he is also a kind, smart, and caring person. More Clickspring please!
That light ought to be hooked up to the alarm system! It's incredible how much equipment has been put into that space, while maintaining usability. I'd like to see a cad drawing of how it all fits!
Incredible! Impeccable organization. Such an amazing shop, even if it was set up in three or four times the floor space that you've used. Your skill set is really daunting; truly inspiring. I wish I knew a tenth of what Michael demonstrated. So glad you shared your shop tour with us; really happy to have seen this video.
Just having the desire will get you there with a little effort 10% is not a lot but it can do a lot I have top people 6 months away to basic electronics in 10 minutes average individuals not technically inclined individuals one took the test after several months the other took the test after several years it took me a few years also we all passed thanks to the original teachers just learn the basics everything else will come just like learning how to backup a car it gets easier and it comes in handy for other things that is where this man is as far as being in the zone now it's your turn go man go
I'm absolutely gobsmacked....I would never leave the shop. beyond amazing. now think back 110-120 years and picture the huge shops of old run by an old steam engine or perhaps a gas or kerosene engine and one giant leather belt connected to a wheel, driving dozens of other belts and wheels to run tens of dozens of machines...
Damn... I've been in NYC for four years for college now, but still find new things going on in this city every day. I'd love t to have a cool house like that someday.
I no longer live there, but I believe one could start exploring one side and take decades to get to the other and still not see everything, and everything changes and will be something new before you can start over. How many roofs, basements , and spaces between buildings have you been to? Roosevelt island 😜? Rikers 😕? Others? Sail through devil's notch , been in some of the abandoned tunnels? Pick up a $500 bill from the treasury? Get your car from impound? Ice skate the west side, drink at doc Hollidays on the East , mingle with the rich in the middle or hang in Harlem...So many things, people, places , alive!
ok, now I must stop complaining about not having enough room in my garage shop. I really admire the creative storage solutions and the software animatronics of the lamp...and expansive connections of the sand table.... that is delicious. Rock on!
I'm just speechless it would take me an hour and some itemized text to comment everything I have to say about this video . Wow just wow, its cool ,mesmerizing , inspiring . Its a man's man play ground / dreams of many lll great job with everything 👏
I so admire and aspire to be more like these guys. being an engineer, mechanic, inventor and author is a start, but I have not been more than 2 feet deep in the ocean lol I was on the team that build the gps satellite structures, the battery boxes for the international space station and the solar array panels that charge that batteries. Thanks so much for posting this, so inspirational.
That place is cray cray. I don't have the technical know how to use most of that stuff. But man, wouldn't it be nice to have a place that setup to accomplish nearly any imaginable project.
This is the most amazing creative space I've ever seen. I thought Mark Rober was the end all...you gentlemen are light years ahead. I would virtually love to bring my students to your workshop.
Mark Rober is great, Shane from Stuff Made Here is amazing. Diresta is a hero. Chris from Clickspring is an idol. All represent different facets of making. I like learning and combining new disciplines to foster learning and to push my limits. In terms of a virtual tour, that shouldn’t be too difficult to arrange.
