- Making The Motion Works And Hands, by Clickspring.
In this video I make all of the parts required for the motion work and hands. There are a lot of different operations in this video including hand turning with gravers, and depthing of small gears with a shop made depthing tool.

Abbreviated Transcript:
00:25 It's essentially a reduction gear train, that takes the single hourly rotation of the center arbor, and reduces that by a factor of 12, so that the hour hand sweeps one full revolution for every 12 hours.
00:44 The pinions and wheels for this part of the mechanism were cut at the same time as I made episode 4, but of course the wheels still need to be so I'll do that later in this video For the other parts, I'll be using these sections of rod stock, as well as some gound flat stock for the hands. So lets get started.
02:46 The finger plate tool is perfect for safely holding these awkward small parts, and I used the belt sander to bring the edges closer to the line. And I should mention that this 1" belt sander is an amazingly effective tool for quickly and accurately removing metal. Its easily one of the most useful machines in my shop.
04:44 With the profile formed, the center was drilled out, and then it was parted off and flipped end for end, to turn a seating for the minute hand. The tricky bit to form of course is that square hole, which needs to be dead on center, as well as perfectly square.
06:03 As for the previous part, the center was drilled out; although this time a little undersize, to permit the use of a shop made reamer. And that completes the 2 parts required for the minute hand. Next up is the Hour wheel pipe, which is a sort of sleeve that carries the hour hand on one end, and the hour wheel on the other.
06:58 Once the fit with the hour hand is confirmed, the center can be drilled out, and then reamed to the required dimension. Next the part needs to be reversed so that the wheel seating can be turned, but often when using ER collets to hold short parts like this, it's difficult to get the collet to hold the part accurately.
08:04 It carries the minute wheel on one end, and has a square to receive the minute hand on the other. The first job is to drill out the stock and then ream it to be a close fit on the center arbor. Next the profile was formed, and the dimensions marked out for the next operation, with a bit of tailstock support to keep the stock from deflecting.
10:13 A quick tidy up with needle files, and that's the minute pipe complete. Next up is the Intermediate wheel stud. It screws into the front plate beneath the center arbor, and carries the intermediate wheel and pinion. So it needs a thread on one end, and a nice smooth arbor surface on the other.
11:56 The final finishing was completed with needle
and escapement files, followed by a light papering with fine grit abrasive paper, and then a uniform burnish of all of the inside surfaces. A light paper and polish brings up the other surfaces, and the motion work wheels are ready for assembly.
12:51 The fine adjustment screw moves the wheels closer together until I can see and feel the smoothest meshing of the teeth. I'll be using tapered clock pins to secure the mechanism in place, so I can put in a cross hole for the pin now, and also tidy up the end of the arbor.
13:39 I put in a similar hole for the intermediate
stud, and then hardened, tempered and polished it. So finally, after a whole lot of work, let's put all of this together, and see how it runs. In the next video I'll make a start on the pendulum.

![Clockmaking - [BONUS VIDEO] Chill Out Edit - 1000 Hours in 12 Minutes](/img/n.gif)
I won't lie - I shed a tear when I saw the hands spinning around. A year watching and waiting. It was beautiful, Chris.
+Joel Crawford I'm so pleased you're enjoying it Joel, I have to admit to being kind of emotional myself! I can tell you this clock is protected better than POTUS - I can't begin to tell you how careful I have become while handling this clock!
The video could be twice as long, I'm sure none of us would mind at all!
+Troy Graham I dream of hour-long clickspringing
Shadowhurtz Don't we all! Hahaha
Troy Graham In all honesty, I download his videos, I subscribe to CZcams Red. I'm going to need a bigger Micro SD Card. :-)
Hahaha, go get one then!
Nothing is quite as satisfying as opening up youtube to find a Clickspring video in your subscription box.
I was supposed to go to sleep an hour ago... But then you posted this and I've gone back through your videos.
+Humberto Saltynut Terrific! Who needs sleep :)
Truly one of the best content providers on all of You Tube.
+Poncho likes bacon Great to have your support mate, very much appreciated :)
+Poncho likes bacon This is the diary of a madman.
Mad as in perfection isn't good enough?
+Clickspring hope you don`t consider yourself as "content provider" man. beautiful work. really beautiful.
+Poncho likes bacon It's perfect! the machining is beautiful. The commentary is informative. The editing is superb. I watch soo many machining channels but chris offers THE best viewing angles. I dont think I could love this channel any more.
Oh wow, 23:45, time to go to bed...
OH BOY, CLICKSPRING UPLOADED!!!!
the same at 1am xD
What am i supposed to lick? D:
+B V A spring?
Wow. Just. Wow. I can't wait for your next one. CZcams's limit for individual video uploads is 11 hours, when this thing is finished, promise me you'll upload an 11 hour video of that beautiful clock running! I promise, I'd watch it, and give it a thumbs up!
Sir, whatever the equivalent of a standing ovation is on CZcams is you deserve the thundering applause!
+help8help Thank you very much, appreciate your encouragement :)
Well there's my 15 minutes of meditation. Thanks Chris! :)
I know, my only regret is that he can't update more! His videos are honestly gold.
I'm binge rewatching them. Urgh, I need more in my lifeeeeee!
Geez, I can't get over how gorgeous this clock is, and the moment you get to see everything working together after months of watching is purely satisfying.
It's bittersweet watching this finally come together! Like watching someone watch their kids go off to college.
Mindblowing work.
+Cesotoseot Still 5 more episodes before its off to college - Escapement, pendulum, stop work, winding key and another design modification that I'm building up the courage to attempt :)
New Clickspring video = this is a GOOD DAY(TM).
Thanks for posting it :)
+Luke Boland Ha ha! Cheers Luke :)
Absolutely amazing! Watching those gears come together is like poetry. Great job Chris!
+TheChaosPsyke Thank you mate :)
Man, seeing everything fit together and watching the hands spin for the first time brought the biggest smile to my face. Watching the whole process over the months and seeing it be so close to being finished makes me both giddy with glee like a five year old and a tad bit sad, knowing that it will soon be finished. Keep up the fantastic work Chris!
+gergorian Cheers mate! Still 5 more episodes to go on this one, and the next long term project is in development now, so plenty more to come :)
People with no machining experience or interest in machining take one look at this channel and are mesmerized!
I'm so happy for you getting this close to the end!
+Dux Bellorum Me too! thanks for tuning in :)
I would watch three hours straight of just the clock turning.
61 dislikes???
People don't appreciate good craftsmanship and hard work anymore!
Yeah he can't just blink his eyes and spit these out.
Yeah it's not a CNC cutting this out.
Good Old Quality craftsmanship with skill! Great job!
I love your video's. I have no intention of making a clock, but you speak so calmly and you make beautiful stuff.
Terrific to have you watching :)
And I will keep doing that. I pressed that subscribe button a long time ago and I'm happy to have done so.
+Clickspring some of the shots were a little blue?
It seems easy but it isnt.. it gives a lot of work and patience
Shaping small metal pieces with files is such a relaxing way to spend an evening.
I have never seen a video which emphasises the need of good quality, well kept, sharp hand files... One of the most under appreciated tools in anyone's inventory
+Jack Clarke So true Jack, nothing feels quite so sweet as the cut of a new file :)
Chris,
I decided to comment only on the last vid in the series, as not to repeat myself umpteen times.
And, although I am not given to randomly used superlatives... there is but one word in its place here.
WOW !
Truly amazing work!!
+gh778jk Thanks very much for tuning in mate, I appreciate it :)
There are few series where - without fail - if I see an episode in my inbox, I will drop whatever I'm doing and watch. This is one of them. I've used a lathe on only one occasion (at school about 20 years ago), and I have no knowledge of clocks at all (or at least I didn't before I started watching these), but I appreciate the quality of the craftsmanship here - in both the metalwork and video-making departments. Keep up the fine work, Chris!
+Wabznasm Thanks for watching :)
you are something like bob ross among machinists. i don't know anything more peaceful than your videos about clock making
Best videos on machining, anywhere!
Oh my god Chris, this is so amazing. Please keep up the amazing work, i've been watching for a couple months, and you haven't disappointed!
Very cool to see this piece rotating finally, keep up the great work.
I CAME.
Best YT station.
In awe... just in awe... awesome work Chris! Keep them coming.
+Richard Thompson You bet Richard, thanks for tuning in each release mate :)
Another awesome video. The clip of the mechanism spinning was absolutely beautiful.
I have been a machinist for around 10. your are a great craftsman. love ur videos my favorite bit is u make most ur own tools and ur problem solving due to working in a limited shop. good job I look forward to ur next video
+Thomas Siekierski Cheers Thomas, very much appreciate your support :)
I have no idea why I watch these videos. I've never done any work with metal, don't own any clocks that aren't sitting in the top-right of a computer screen, and own only a handful of decent tools. But, man, I can't stop watching. Beautiful videos covering an amazing process. Keep posting for forever, please.
+Matthew Congrove Terrific to have your support Matthew, plenty more to come :)
I work as a machinist for 16 years now, altho much MUCH bigger pieces from 400mm - nearly 2meter, just got home from work and just watching this is pure relaxation for me looking forward to the finished project, and future projects! :)
+Daniel Hanssen Thank you Daniel, very much appreciate your support, definitely more projects to follow this one :)
Wow. Fantastic work you're doing, looking forward to the finished product. Also.. just watched all 16 episodes in one sitting. Very zen.
Finally another video!! Feel free to make it an hour! I could watch this all day long! So amazing, you do such a great job, not only in your craftsmanship but also on cinematography!
Greetings from the future... It has gotten to the point where I drop everything when a Clickspring vid come out!
Everything is so perfect it looks simply unreal. It's like some computer animation of clockwork for a high-budget steampunk anime.
And you made it with your own hands. Wow!
+Nathan McDaniel Great to have you watching Nathan
Off the charts
Great ER tip. The clock looks great.
Never ever apologize for a long video. I would watch a full length movie if there was one!
Great job Chris! Incredible work!
+phooesnax Thank you Jim :)
The most professional video on u tube.Just the wright amount of commentary.Ive watched some engineering vids from America some are piss boring they just babble on and on.Oh and what a beautiful workshop.
+Anthony Pindor Great to have your support Anthony :)
Easily one of my favorite channels on CZcams! Your videos are so very well shot, edited and narrated.
Time flies by when watching your videos sadly >.< thank u for the amazing work.
I've been looking forwards to this video for months!
yo chris.... i need more of your videos.... they are truly inspiring.... you are an amazing craftsman and very professional... i have watched every one of your videos multiple times and i will continue watching them. please do another project........
The next clock video is on its way very soon Rod, expect it in about a week :)
Consistently the best videos on CZcams. Thanks again. I would love to see a video tour of your workshop by the way. :)
Jeez man. This is poetry in motion. Nicely done.
+Thomas Barnes Thanks for tuning in Thomas
She runs like clockwork, Some would say you have too much time on your hands. lots of respect mate, your attention to detail is superb.
I agree with Poncho - consistently one of the best video series on You Tube, Heck on anything. You should be far more famous!
Chris I love watching your videos... every time I'm that much closer to buying a lathe or a mill.
I could watch this thing turning for ages!
What a beauty.
I'm actually sad this series is approaching its end. I sincerely hope that you continue with another series after this one is complete. Thank you for sharing these with us.
+Kyle Jones I have an excellent follow up project in development now, will talk more about it as the time approaches. Very much appreciate your support Kyle :)
Purely aesthetic holes with no tolerances needed whatsoever. *starts reaming*
Gotta love your style
You have such amazing patience and easily produce the highest quality content on CZcams!
I am excited to see this work of art finished!
+The Art Of Weapons
IT really is a lost art.
+The Art Of Weapons Thanks mate, love your work :)
You are the only person with an Australian accent that I can listen to. My girl friend is from new Zealand and I'm used to hers, Australian just sounds weird and I end up focusing on nothing else. But with you. Your work speaks way louder.
I got shivers seeing the hands come out and the final wheel crossings. When the clockwork started coming together, it actually literally took my breath away.
This is genuine craftsmanship. Watching you work is a thing of beauty.
+Elliot Grey Thank you Elliot, very much appreciate the kind words :)
You sir are an inspiration. Would love a shop tour!
Just wonderful work! These videos are a pure joy to watch.
Every new video is like, ok, lay back and get your dose of know-how.
...to the point I somehow cannot wait to ear the damn spring clicking!
Congratulations Chris. You do amaze internet, big time.
+Francois Hirigoyen Thank you Francois, very much appreciate your support :)
when someone describes something as absolutely premium I use your videos and work as a baseline for it. because your work is incredibly premium. fantastic work.
+mmcallery Thank you mate, very much appreciate your support :)
Just wanted to say your technique and craftsmanship is
amazing. Its inspiring to see.
Thanks very much for the encouragement Charles :)
I'm liking the long form videos. Your clock looks to be coming together amazingly as well. Thank you for sharing your process with all of us. I know I at least have been finding all of this very interesting and quite entertaining. Keep up the good work and thanks again! :-)
The project looks more like a clock now, which brings me the fear that it comes close to an end, I don't want this to end. Keep that beautiful work going.
+Ruji Yu Plenty more to come Ruji :)
These videos remind me of the show 'How it's Made'. It's very much nostalgic, because the Discovery channel was my childhood
Magnificent work as always Chris!
+johnnyq90 Cheers mate!
Ahhh, seeing it all come together is beautiful :')
nice to see the clock come this far, it will be bittersweet to see this series finish.
+clint lemire More to come once its finished Clint, thanks for taking the time to watch :)
Even after watching this series on CZcams. I would buy it on DVDs.
+C.G.B. Spender I have had a few requests for this in the last few days, so will be making a DVD available for sale at the end of the build. Cheers, Chris.
Damn your videos are great!
another video! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! :D
Fascinating! It’s hard believe people were doing this hundreds of years ago and without power tools and modern equipment.
Chris, when you finaly finish this beautiful piece of horologie, please stick all these videos together and make one 2-3 hours documentary. It will be one of a kind. I would buy Blu-ray disc with such a movie! Not to mention it will be better than 99% of documentaries on TV. You have great talent not only in machining but in film industry also. Thank you for all happy moments I had with your videos!
Always amazed from your videos and craftsmanship!
this has been an awesome series Ty for taking the time to post them on CZcams
As always a great video. We were waiting for weeks, every day asking ourselves: today Clickspring wil appear?. It is a pleasure watching you, all the stress of the day disappears. Returns one to believe in man as a creative being. Thank you very much
+Ferlopag Thanks for being patient :)
I get more and more amazed and intrigued by this clock and the making of it. Great work Chris!
+Marin de Vree Cheers Marin, thanks for watching :)
The finish on the parts is just ridiculous good! Thanks for the video and for sharing your work with us!
+Stefan Gotteswinter Great to have you watching Stefan :)
I liked the video before actually watching it :) and I know I won't regret it later
+Jiří Jezdinský Great to have your support Jiří :)
I don't know why CZcams recommended this to me, but it's so relaxing to watch.
+BLAZE YO Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to watch :)
such a nice video, I'll never have the patience to make a clock, nor do I have much interest in clocks. These videos are just so satisfying to anyone who appreciates shop tools and metal work
+Alexander Delarge Thank you for tuning in mate :)
It honestly pisses me off that people dislike a click spring video
Terrific to have you watching mate :)
+Clickspring I wouldn't be anywhere else!
@MacroMachines Haters are probably people who don't have any skills, or anything better to do. These videos are amazing with the level of craftsmanship he displays. I'd imagine that doing the work is almost therapeutic for him. Making something from scratch can have that effect.
At the moment I'm looking at this, its 54 downvotes, vs 11K upvotes, so.... fraction of a percent downvoted it. Yeah, there's always a tiny fringe who hate whatever particular thing exists I guess, but they're insignificant.
I’m going to speculate on the Haters. Liberals, they must be liberals. Think about it.
Beautiful work Chris! Thank you for sharing this with us.
5 people can't use mechanical things. Great work Chris! Love this channel!
Please keep those vids coming Clickspring, 10/10
Regards, Rich.
Reading, Berkshire, UK.
+rich kellow Will do Rich, thanks for tuning in :)
Amazing work, WOW!
Give this man a tv show
He's too cool for TV.
+Jttv TV is a wasteland. Online is where all the good content is.
Thanks for the well made and inspiring videos. Your level of precision is jealousy inducing.
That is absolutely jaw droppingly gorgeous!!!
+Nick Shaw Appreciate your support Nick!
Awesome work, I am loving every minute of this build.
Amazing. Simply amazing.
Chris you are so patient with the hand filing.
I love it when he says "see ya later" as if what you just saw was a triffle.
Wow!! awesome work! beautiful result. enjoyed every part of it!
F off and I love you at the exact same time! Beautiful work
clock and video are upperclass. A super craftman. I kill the dislikers.
Great to see it moving!
I follow you for awhile, and i need to tell you man, your videos and yours construction quality it's amazing! Awesome job!
how many years experience have you got to make something this perfect?
Honestly,I've been at the edge of my seat for months! When this clock is finished I'm going to be lost!
+Matthew Smith Another project lined up to follow this one, so plenty more to come, thanks for watching Matthew
the belt sander may be one of the most useful, but dont ever forget Chris that the machines are useless without the machinist :)
This is just amazing, I just love your attention to detail. It is inspiring in a world of disposable rubbish to see someone working to such a high level.
+Tom Smith Cheers Tom, terrific to have your support :)
Awesome work, Chris! I'm in the early stages of making my version of this clock and your videos are both inspiring and terrifying! With each new video you reveal additional operations that I've never attempted (or even heard of). I hope clocks are still in vogue if/when I finish mine.
+KenToonz Awesome Ken!
+Clickspring Out of curiosity, how long have you been doing metalwork? I started about 7 years ago.
+KenToonz Bought the red lathe in 2012 I think?
+Clickspring You've acquired all these tools and all these skills in 4 years??? Hell Chris! That's more impressive than the clock or your videos! :)
You never disappoint, Chris. Excellent work as always.
+russtuff Thanks for tuning in each release Russ :)
+russtuff Agreed. And this series seems like it will never end...and that's okay.
Haha, I saw the tool marks left on the minute pilot and only began to say to myself, "oh, he's not gonna let those stay there" when you transitioned to some file finishing...
As always, such amazing and beautiful work! Simply the best "amateur" content producer on CZcams!
-EngineerGunter
+Hexlattice Ha Ha! There's no way I could get tool marks past you Gunter :)
