Hi Folks,
Here is an introduction video for the Rose Engine, a companion machine to the Straight Line Engine for generating Guilloché. Much like the recent SLE video I have put this video together without narration, as more of a chill out thing. The plate material is fine silver, the pattern is sometimes referred to as 'Escargot' and the pendant is an anniversary gift for my lovely wife. The enamel is from Milton Bridge, 263 Series K62 Jade. More detail on the casting & finishing of the pendant structure in a later video.
Do please enjoy!
Cheers,
Chris.

I'm rewatching the video third time, just for the relaxing music. Are the soundtracks exclusively recorded for your channel? I love relaxing music and prefer it much over modern songs which are mostly noise. So if it is available somewhere online, that'd be awesome.
By the way, it's been years watching you, ThisOldTony and Abom79, and I am grateful for the content you gentlemen have produced.
Many congratulations on your anniversary! May you get many more, and live happy and healthy lives.
Best regards from Pakistan,
So much more rewarding to give something you've made, even if my creations are asymmetrical birdhouses with bent nails sticking out compared to this! 😅
@@csn583 😂
She’s going to love it!
Beautiful piece
Little do most people know, I'm Mrs. Clickspring.
Such a lovely couple!
More like Mrs. Clickbait
🤠❤
Wouldn't Unnecessarily Prominent Adjustable Wrenches get jealous?
Plot twist!
Just Your HRT medication hiding You under that lovely Beard
Ah, Chris is back to setting unreasonably high standards for us mortals to aspire to, things are starting to feel right in the universe again. Congrats you two!
Probably couldn't have put that better myself.. 🙏🙌
Yup. Every time someone is an arse about being good at something, just bring up Clickspring and they calm right down again. Personally I would love to be so good that at 3 meters distance, in a bit shallow light, it could pass for a Clickspring test piece if I'm not wearing my glasses.
Strictly speaking, isn't this more kicking up cams rather than gears?
Don't worry, husbands, he's not making your low effort anniversary gifts look bad by comparison or anything like that. With the amount of shop time this one took I guarantee this was definitely a gift to himself 👌🤣
Not that I claim to be a Maker of any stripe, but if I were, Chris is not just out of my league, he's playing in another ballpark on a different planet, never mind a different continent.
No need for a voiceover, I can hear "G'day Chris here, and welcome back to Clickspring!" in my head just fine.
Even this man's HSS tool bits are works of art.
I know! I could see my reflection in the relief bevel.
That tool bit gave me goosebumps.
know right ! Speaking of which, would anybody have any recommendations on good guides on how to make such tools?
Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, Chris just casually kicks it up another gear...
And he made the gear himself!
@@maxcactus7 By hand no less!
I've been a machinist for 10 years and the idea of attempting this process gives me huge anxiety. This is deeeeeeeeply skilled work even if mechanized. Every single thing you do or touch with absolute mastery.
Thank you Max, terrific to have you watching mate :)
Please continue making more videos about the Rose Engine, it is an incredibly rare and elusive machine in the modern age. The dark arts of actually using it for fine jewelry like you have done here, even more so. We MUST preserve this incredible knowledge for future generations.
i think it might be time to make one
This video says it all. You're the luckiest man in the world.
Chris, mate, you need to go find your fellow QLD neighbour Primitive Technology and find out what he's been up to. We miss him!
PT is working on a TV thing
apparently he's been off filming something for a cable network
Good on ya for liking this comment Chris! - Happy anniversary
@@WillSurvive2TheEnd That's a year old and if Reddit is to be believed, the TV deal fell through since then. He's still MIA. 🤷♂️
The Mandate Nazis don't want him to catch Covid in the Woods.
Wowzers Chris, you’re just showing off now 😂 great craftsmanship. Would be nice to see the fabrication of the final bezel? Cheers bud. PS happy anniversary to you both!!!
@@Hellsong89 practice makes progress, you'll get there one day!
In, the description, he states that there's an upcoming video about that.
Amazing. It's both an anniversary gift and also a very good answer to the question "What can I make in the shop when the wife has begun dropping hints that I'm spending too much time there?"
I love Victorian era engine turnings and Rose engines. They are a product of the time when human intelligence was at its absolute peak. Beyond this point, you could be less intelligent and survive thanks to the industrialization and labor saving devices that became available as a result of the intelligence and hard work of so many people, leading up to that time.
The workmanship seen here is stunning. It makes me wish I had the same skills and tools.
It's good we have Chris putting out videos again. Now if we could get something from TOT. I do hope Tony's ok.
Last I heard he lost a loved one so he took a break from CZcams to focus on his family.
Me Too. They Need Some time with their Family
His father in law passed away a while ago, so he was taking a break from youtube
@@scottyh4856 Thank you for passing that on. I wouldn't have known otherwise.
Your prayer has been answered! 🙌
I have watched every video you've made. As a professional TIG welder who has worked with a whole lot of machinists in aircraft and other tech trades, you are hands down the best craftsman I've ever seen with metal.
Keep on teaching us how to do work in the most professional of manners sir!
What about Old Tony?
@@rickharriss Old Tony is good but Chris is simply unbeatable.
This Old Tony is a great teacher. But Chris is an inspiration.
@@rickharriss This compared to TOT is apples and oranges IMO. I'm a machinist and can understand everything TOT's does. This is art and alien to me.
@@kylehofmeister6906 You hit the nail on the head. This is art. I think part of what make his work a cut above is bringing everything to perfection. In this type of work, (the clockmaking and jewelry) there is a tendency to hide mistakes and keep going. A master just does not compromise. This person is a master.
The title alone gets a 👍. Also, taking note that the best way to justify buying all those beautiful machines is to make the Mrs. something with them... genius!
That was beautiful, the end product but the project as a whole. BEAUTIFUL.
Thank you, terrific to have you watching :)
Love the art deco design, that's something that really needs to come back
Speaking of Art Deco, notice the painting at 10:04? Tamara de Lempicka, one of the great painters of the Art Deco era.
I once visited Napier in NZ. The whole town is Art Deco after an earthquake hit in 1931and it was rebuilt in that style
True! But I also get a strong vibe of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh...
That raw enamel was very literally STUNNINGLY beautiful. The end result was amazing but oh, I wish that lovely variegation had stayed
no kidding. was that lab grown? i also need that mortar and pestal.
@@Wtfinc I would think that was from rapid cooling after being poured out on a slab, so it would crack up into small chunks for easy preparation.
I was stunned by the simplicity and execution of the drying off of the jade powder. Awesome to watch the casual precision and elegance that Chris brings to the table.
All the words that I can think of to describe this piece...are totally inadequate.
Thank you sir for sharing.
Happy anniversary Mr and Mrs Clickspring 👩❤️👨👏👏👏☀️🥂
Beautiful… I’m currently DEEP in a learning about watchmaking CZcams spiral, and this only fed the beast even more.
I seem to have ended up in a similar situation, but my journey started with learning about how to produce guilloché patterns digitally. On the way, I learned about paper money designs and the machines that can produce these patterns for jewelry too.
Aha, so that's how you get wife approval on a new machine purchase!
Seriously though, fantastic craftsmanship as always. I can only envy the levels of patience and skill you've developed.
While looking at it, all I could think of was that it was so pretty
Few things in the world more mechanically beautiful than a functional rose engine. ♥️
When he started grinding the lump enamel, I got excited. Then he started wet packing onto the surface and I about peed my pants. I’ll replay the paper towel wicking again and again. That jade color is absolutely stunning. The whole process is fascinating, the precision machinery is incredible. I’ll be looking for the video where you explain the pendant frame fabrication! 🎉🎉🎉 and happy anniversary 🎉🎉🎉
you sir, have got some WILDLY specific equipment and it always makes me smile
As much as i covet the finished product, that sound of the ratcheting handle on machine was quality seldom heard anymore. Perfect!
Happy Anniversary Mrs. Clickspring:
I am a happy admirer of your videos, your work and your wonderful skills Mr. Clickspring. Congratulations to both of you on your anniversary.
Kind regards from far away Mexico.
Vincent
I didn't know how much "chilled machining" I needed in my life until just now.
My jaw dropped so hard when you melted the jade it literally dislocated. SPECTACULAR
I enjoyed watching the video the third time as much as the first.
I'm told I'm a pretty handy and crafty type of guy ... and up for trying new things .. BUT
Good Lord!!! I barely feel worthy to watch this, and can't imagine thinking I would try it!
Absolutely stunning!!!
For a man that works with so many extremely polished metals, the fact that we never see the camera in a reflection, nor your face is amazing.
Congratulations to you both, and awesome skills and results as always Chris.
Keep up the amazing work!
We got a little bit of chin in this one
Wow! You really love your wife.
Many blessings to you and your family from Perryville Kentucky USA
What a insanely beautiful machine, to watch work... But I wonder who said to themselves "If I what this rose design I have to build this machine first." Mr. Click the gift was a breathtaking one, indeed. A heirloom form the heart is the perfect gift.
Not sure which I’m more impressed with. The jewelry you made or that beautiful old machine that you used to make it with!
My thoughts exactly. Watching the video I asked 'Who made the precision machine to make the precision part?'. I actually watched this video thinking it was about a new type of engine, lol.
Don't use a preposition to end your sentences with....... 🤣🤣🤣
Never has my lust for an intricate and elegant machine tool been rivaled by the sincere Joy that Clickspring owns it. Respect.
oh wow! Mrs. Clickspring is a lucky lady. Thank you for sharing the beautiful workmanship.
Nothing that you could have bought your wife would compare with making this for her. Just awesome.
*Enameled Rose Turning** is one of my favourite things in the world - I am wearing a pocket watch right now with almost the same pattern on it, just a slightly darker blue...
*guilloche enamel
I actually said “wow” when that came out the kiln. That’s incredibly beautiful!
I didn't know that type of machining tool existed. I didn't know you can crush colored rocks and make a paste. And the level of imagination astounds me. There are a lot of talented people out there. I could never do such a thing.
To pretend I understand this new machine is pointless. It is beautiful, a phantasmagorical device that changes mere metal into stunning works of art. Thank you for this and happy anniversary to you and the mrs.
***99% of human beings: “I’ll use resin and turquoise dye”
***Chris: “Painstakingly crush Jade, and bake it”
He melted the enamel -- I originally thought it was real Jade. My mistake, but still nice enameling for realz
Probably because he was jaded after the pattern cutting 😅
How did he do to coat both side? If you bake the second side, the first side will melt and fall off isn't? Or is is thin enough that it will hold in place by surface tension?
@@alexandrevaliquette1941 once it's baked it's baked. Like ceramic.
@@karlkarlng I did not know. Thank you internet friend!
Everything you do produces stunning results, but watching that rose engine was absolutely fascinating. I also had no idea you could melt Jade to use as an enamel. Beautiful. edit: oooh "Jade" was the colour name. Apparently they've now changed the name to Grass Green, which would have been less confusing. It was beautiful already in "lump" form!
Goodness. Even the shavings are beautiful.
Just mesmerised by the level of craftsmanship excellent excellent
i audibly gasped "holy shit" after it came out of the oven. amazing work
I love how you bring back long forgotten machines, showing us the craftsmanship skills and techniques and physical labour involved in making these beautiful things. This Art Deco piece will be cherished.
Just make anything and we'll watch. For everything you make is amazing.
Wait this guy has all this talent and remembers anniversaries.... that's just great.
These machines are legendary among woodworkers (or maybe I'm thinking of a woodworking version, known as an ornamental lathe, from around the same period). Either way, that piece is absolutely stunning.
Yes that is the equivalent Wood turning machine - same tech and timeframe of development. His is the watchmakers version. I thought the Swiss were buying these up and hoarding them... good that he got some!
Okay, I'll be the first to admit that I have the aesthetics and design sense of a particularly dense wad of chewing gum, but even I can tell that this thing is seriously gorgeous work.
It's just pure pleasure to watch this. I hope She loves it :)
I have never even heard of such a machine let alone seen one in action. A beautiful piece of work. Much better than anything I have ever managed to fabricate
this is the best example of "Oh, honey, I didn't BUY you anything... But I got you this!"
I got to use an old Bridgeport machine for the first time at work last week. I loved every second of it. The joy from contemplation of my place in "the whole of it" while drilling a hole into bent round stock is indescribable. Also you helped me make replacement parts for my Dremel.
Thank you for the knowledge, the wonder, and for you being you.
I can not thank you enough.
Some people buy chocolates and flowers.
Chris makes a priceless heirloom.
Legit.
A beautiful pendent with a beautiful thought and reason behind it. Folks, we have a romantic here! Thank You for sharing this with us for your wife. She will love it also.
There are few things more beautiful and satisfying than pouring so much attention and care into a gift for a loved one. Amazing work and happy anniversary!
That Rose machine is amazing. And it looks like that cam stack has a whole lot of options. 👍❤
Beautiful! You are incredibly fortunate to have found Mrs. Clickspring.
What an utterly captivating piece of jewelry... Mrs clickspring is very lucky!
Beautiful. Something to be remembered and cherished for years to come.
You had me at "Rose Engine", but the agate mortar and pestle actually made me cheer out loud.
Absolute masterclass
Most skilled machinist along side steffan gotteswinter in all youtube.
You guys make me feel im nothing.
I wish I could like this video twice!
Just awesome! Rarely does someone have that level of machinist/mechanical engineering AND artistry skills that clickspring does. I'm always amazed when I watch one of his videos.
I can't believe these videos are free for anyone to watch. Superb job Chris.
Exquisite and (as an anniversary gift) priceless.
I feel like we missed a few steps... Beautiful job Chris. I’m simply amazed at your talent !!!
Honestly, the raw enamel chunks are absolutely beautiful on their own. I would probably end up using large faceted pieces to make some jewelry instead of grinding them down.
Very beautiful peice. She is a very lucky lady indeed.
The only CZcams videos that I absolutely must play full screen. Your production quality is mesmerizing!
What a fascinating machine, never knew such a thing existed.
That is a brilliant piece of unique jewellery, well done. I bet the Mrs loves it.
Yes, fascinating. Check the intro for more info.
That sir is an art deco masterpiece.
Your talent knows no bounds.
I once had the pleasure of using one of these machines at the Amberley Museum here in England. Lovely specimen you've got there, Chris.
Amazing! Such a beautiful piece! I'm always stunned by your work!
I am a watchmaker for over 40 years. Make jewelry as a hobby. Would give anything to be able to work under this craftsman for a few years. He for sure matches up with the old time masters.
I gasped when I saw the "gear box" for patterns. Brilliant.
Absolutely beautiful piece Chris, your talents and skills are never ending.
Absolutely beautiful, it’s great that you’re making such good use of your new machines👍😄
In-depth knowledge and extraordinary skill combined with sophisticated creativity
I half expected to hear "G'day, ladies, and welcome back to Mrs. Clickspring."
OMG YOU GOT A ROSE ENGINE TOO!!!! uuugh this and the straight line engine are the most insane amazing pieces of art ever. Ugh i wish I could make something half as beautiful as you Chris!!! Congratulations on the anniversary!!
Absolutely beautiful work! Incredible - I especially loved the colour of the gem
Stunningly beautiful. Awesome craftsmanship. Happy Anniversary to Mrs. Clickspring and you. May you enjoy may more.
👍👌👏 I just finished watching this for the second time. It's still extremely fantastic!
Absolutely stunning results, as usual!
Beautiful piece Chris. I'm sure the Mrs. was quite pleased. Happy Anniversary to you both. Did you do a video on how the outer part of that piece was made? Equally as impressive.
Good on you Joe. Reckon you Shld do some jewellery too on your channel. Why don’t you do a collab with Chris?
Read the description perhaps.
Joe, that was the first question in my mind as well: How did Clickspring make the "frame" for the engraved and enameled part, and how is it mounted to the frame?
The answer, it seems, will come in a later video. I'm looking forward to it!
This is basically watching sorcery happen. Amazing!
Mrs. Clickspring is a very lucky lady.
You manage to astonish me every single video!
Wow. Absolutely stunning craftsmanship, and what an incredibly precious gift. Your videos never cease to leave me in awe and wonder -- and dreaming of my future, fully kitted out, home machine shop.
There are many words that need to bo said to describe your craft, passion and love to use techniques and ideas to come up with such a beautiful pice. And then You share that to the world.
one of the beautifulest things i've ever seen
The Rose Engine is a fetish for tool fanatics. Beautiful work as usual.
Lunch is on me if you're ever in town. Cheers from cool Vienna, Scott
