The day has come when I have to reluctantly admit that precision machining setup can be done with a pointy stick.
Chris, yet again you've shown us how to understand the things you do without even saying a word..
I do enjoy listening to him talk, It's almost like I'm in meditation.
goodness. that’s a special level of precision.
the only content i watch on normal speed- thanks so much!
😂 same. I hit pause turned down to x1 and went back to the 0:07 to the start.
I especially enjoyed seeing the 1:10 ratio being pointed out. Very nice.
Your videos are my moment of zen throughout the week.
After all the time and effort you put into making such a beautiful watchmaker's faceplate I'm surprised your wobblestick isn't made out of brass rod stock with matching engravings..... or is that an upcoming project 😉 😄 👍
The wood is so soft he doesn't risk damaging the jewel he's using as a center hole.

You only live once. 🎉
Amazingly simple and effective
The only video I've ever seen that could rightly use "this one simple trick" in the title without a hint of clickbait
Old time simple. You can't to any better.
Your level of everything is masterful. I always have to clean up the puddle of drool I make after watching your videos.
Never seen one this simple before!
Sherline should sponsor you. I can't think of a better way to demonstrate the capabilities of their lathe than what you have shown. Of course that probably says more to your skill than their equipment but I still think they should sponsor you though.
It’s absolutely nuts how simple yet mind blowingly accurate this is
Love it when super cheap and dead-easy methods outperform modern high tech in their goals except in efficiency. It means you could most likely build a functioning pocket watch with tech from Antikythera-era if you don't mind that it takes way longer than doing it today and it being somewhat bigger than today.
Excellent video. You have the precision a sloppy guy like me has always dreamed of.
What a brilliant method of centering something.
Super fancy facplate holder on a precision lathe...
And the almighty stick.
The simplest things can be amazing. Thanks Chris
Seeing this plate fully assembled and mounted so neatly, ready to be put to use in such a neat and wonderful manner, gave me goosebumps.
Thank you for sharing this with us, Chris. 🤩
Super fascinating! Can’t wait to see the finished piece!
I can. The longer before we see the completed piece the more we are likely to see if it being made😊
Oh. My. GOODNESS... I actually laughed out out and fist bumped the air when the wobbler didnt move (on the :10 side, of course)
I love this. I love how simple and yet effective it is. Using this very basic visual method can almost definitely get you accuracy in the 0.00001" range (hundred thousandth's inch) range, which is effectively beyond the actual accuracy of most equipment you can use to do machining with.
Or in other words, this is the best example of K.I.S.S. - keep it simple, stupid - this is so elegantly simple and obviously so incredibly effective. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
your skillsets are getting better by the day very impressive
Engineer “there’s no such thing as perfectly centred!” Chris “hold my beer”
Amazing precision on such a tiny lathe.
That’s the same indicator I use daily and I love it. Mine is the version with the long stem
cool. will remember this technique with the "quill"
Excellence as usual. Thank you Chris
The slow, soft ticking in the background was a nice touch.
Chris - this absolutely blew my mind. So simple, yet so clever, not to mention your absolutely incredible craftsmanship making all these parts. You really are one of a kind.
Lovely faceplate,Chris 👌The simple principle of the increased ratio 'indicator rod' technique....it is as old as the hills but still a joy to watch being used.
God it's so satisfying to learn a new technique. Thank you for sharing this.
The elegance in all aspects is sublime.
One day the Clickspring museum will have all of the tools, bits, bobs, jewelry, machinery, clocks, watches and all the other amazing things that Chris has made. I want to go and see it now but, i will wait...i will wait
Beautiful as always!
I keep on having to recalibrate my brain to the fact that this is a Sherline and not a 10" South Bend. I know that sounds crazy, but the scale you're always working on is just so much smaller than anything I've ever tried to do. Really amazing level of precision.
Nice trick this, I use a similar gadget for centring work on my Myford’s faceplate sometimes.
Wonderfully effective simplicity.
That was brilliant!
🤯 amazingly clever!
Beautiful!!!!!
Wow. Just wow. 👍
Thanks for sharing 👍
Another classic example of machinist porn. Lovely work as per your usual high standard. Thank You for the Awesome video!!!
Astonishing
That's a great solution
Beautiful 👌
The engraved back of the plate, I am willing to bet Chris did that for practice!
The wobble stick is different than what I was taught, but it looks simpler than what I was taught!
There's a long video of the engraving, check it out!
Wonderful so ingenious. All the best
The Transformation into Art!
OH WHAT DID I JUST LEARN! That's amazing
Perfection! Accurate to micron level.
Brilliant.
If you really wanted to go banana you could use a laser pointer on the lever to extend the 10 dimension to pretty much as long as you like.
Stupefacente!
So simple yet so precision. Thank you so much for showing this technique.
Your workmanship is beautiful and this is a really neat way to find a center for a watch body. I made something similar with a sharpened wire stuck through a rubber band, rather than balanced on a tool rest, because the thing that holds the rubber band I 3d printed so it snaps onto a boring bar holder in the qctp. It's been very useful for picking up transfer punch dots and getting them perfectly centered. (Well it's great for indicating center, but the process of centering is still awful if it's on a faceplate rather than a four-jaw.)
fascinating.
Mind blown again, absolutely god level skills
Reducing error with a 10:1 ratio there has got to be nerve-wracking in adjusting, but probably worth it for what you do. Gotta say - you demonstrate your expertise with the jigs, techniques and the tools you make to... well, make more tools. It illustrates that saying, "If you want to understand something, be able to teach it."
Watchmaking is a modern profession with a mindset of an ancient Greek philosopher.
(seeing what the wobble stick is and how it's used) Oh, that's clever!
Fascinating lever...Archimedes is greeting
I want one! (Watch) Patek Philippe could learn a few things from you.
Something similar could be used to check my bandsaw wheels for runout, but I really want a dial indicator.
Gud vid 😄
Watch making or lenses were certainly the first manufactured precision items. The first mass produced precision manufactured item was the lowly pencil.
Hmm could you use a Dial indicator at the wobbly end for that extra bit of precision.
Most Australian video title
Insane! I wonder what's the run off of the lathe itself?
I'm sure you have plenty of your own ideas for projects, but one I'd love to see is you making a replica of John Harrison's H4 chronometer from the mid-1700's. The one that won the prize from the British gov't for use in ship navigation.
Very nice, I never understood why these watchmaker's plates are made the way the are, and how to use them.
But --- I can not link this clip to any of your known projects, something new in the making? Though that watch does not look new...
Who needs indicators if you have a stick and a good set of brains.
amazing video. How does that compare to a dial gauge on the wall of the hole? - i would think you have access to gauges that are more than 10x as fine as the human eye here?
How do you keep your lathe so clean?
Big toothpick for highly accurate concentricity, nice
❤️🔥
Will there be a build video of the watch?
I believe that it's one that Chris is repairing, not a new build.
👍😎
Maybe geometric chuck or something for next project?
Chris does have a rose engine, not sure if that qualifies?
I am more than a little curious about what the point of this exercise was? I mean I see what you are doing, but I cannot figure out WHY you were doing it.
How do you get the tool rest to the right height?
Does need to be? It seems that it would show the error regardless of the height.
I guess even if the toolrest was slightly high or low (or even if the stick was angled left or right), when the part is true the stick won't wobble...the stick doesn't need to be perfectly aligned with the centreline to still have the same result
@@joshweier Ya I guess that makes sense
So why are we doing this? Are you going to face that center section?
That wobble stick is a disgrace…. ;)
Harbor freight should not be anywhere near this channel
super very best
