Yeah, it was a calendar. I want to say it could predict a huge number of solar and celestial events... Eclipses, moon phases, comets, etc. I saw it for the planetary gear setup that it had. It was pretty amazing to think it was developed a couple thousand years ago.
A What.... oh heck, I've got way too much to get done. Normally I stick with electronics and metal, but Jimmy Diresta inspired me to get back to doing a little wood working.
Interesting get together. I love how the stories arise as you journey through. Our shops have so many tales to tell. I met Mike when we were at Maker Faire NY . and he is a genuine fella.
So cool, to see what a shop looks like when money isn't really a hindrance. That would be a cool guy to hang around with I think. I bet you'd learn a lot. Thanks for the shop tour. Really love your videos Giaco.
Yeah it'll take longer to get ALL of the stuff he has, and you'll have less time to work on concepts or other cool projects, but that doesn't mean it's unattainable. Some people are makers and spend their money making things or acquiring the tools to make things, some people are consumers and spend their money on things that have already been made, and other people are parents and spend their money on kids. A lucky few get to be all three, or even two.
Obviously, family comes first. But I have a small woodworking shop and a few metal working tools. And my time out there is always fun. It would be a lot of fun to have a shop like this gentleman. I bet he really enjoys the time he spends there too.

Mike is a very interesting person, cool projects. I was fortunate to visit his shop in the summer of 2016 and that light thing was an interesting concept he already had working. We had a common interest, Arduinos. Very nice shop, a bit tight in space, but very well organized. If you point to anything in that shop, Mike will tell you a story about it, its as if every little ounce within his shop is part of his heart and soul. A very nice person to know indeed. His dad was my patent attorney in 1998-2000.
@@JanBaars all it was was a small welding clamp connected to a helping hand thing. this guy is high on his own farts if he thinks he's got some magical prototype lol.
This is the dream. Not necessarily be a millionaire but just have a patent or two that continue to pay the bills and afford me the time to sit in my shop and tinker and build and make and invent, day-in, day-out. Thanks for sharing Giaco!
Wow, certainly an amazing small shop, seeing an x carve in that environment makes me want one now! To bad there so darn expensive:( the drawbacks of being a 17yr old maker. Thanks for the tour giaco!!!!!
Wow, that's quite the workshop. 20 years from now once I've finally finished my degree and bought a house to put things in, maybe I'll be able to afford a table saw. xD
A idea for your robot lamp is have sensor in a watch or something that you ware on your hand so the lamp will now know ware to point the light to because of the sensor that you have. You always need light on your hands in a workshop.
I appreciate the video. But I don't think the significance here is the "millionaire" shop like the video is titled. I appreciate it more for the ideas and innovations and the ideas that Mike has, which drives the building of the machines and the tools and the culture around the shop. Really quite inspiring. Thanks Giaco!
I have a shop with metal, wood, paper, concrete and ceramic tools and equipment….a lot of industral equipment. It is so rare foe me to see an example of someone who’s taken my path before me. I wish that I could pick this guys brain, or better yet, have him as a mentor. Thus far, Everyone ive met on my path is so specialized(boring)
Not sure if you realize this but your Light invention can be very useful in deep underwater exploration Loved your shop tour and as an inventor, builder myself, I am currently moving along with all my machinery and supplies. I am going to build a new work shop, for both my business and my hobbies. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for sharing. Dominic
With all the respect, this light-tentacle-thingy is the stuff of nightmares, it moves so smoothly it is creepy. That's some Dr Octopus tech right there.
Trying to give constructive criticism here, but I hate the way you filmed this, please focus on what people are looking at, pointing at, and what they are doing with their hands rather than just filming their face. Although interested in the content, it was very frustrating to watch.
+i like sandwiches I know... the thing is that was not suppose to be a video... i was part of the conversation holding a recording camera... nothing more...
What a great builder and shop. The things we make, make us. ....would love to know more about the air filtration set up, its like a dr's office in there and yet there are plasma cutters and welders, how does he pull that off?
