This machine is like a shaper that went to university and defended a thesis on number theory.
Gold 🤣
@@Clickspring Hey, my first pinned comment! Nice.
hi Sir, really appreciate your great vedio.and I am really want to know how much this machine. besides that could you please told me the work chuck size?
@Sheila Walker “A shaper is a machine that can make anything, except a profit” I was told once upon a time.
@Sheila Walker AFAIK, shapers are from a time before high powered electric motors were compact enough to ride on a spindle turning some carbide at thousands of Rip-Ems.
Chris, I am not sure you recognize what you mean to people like me, and to the memory of people that used machines like these decades or centuries ago as well as the craftsmen who works may have soon been lost. You are introducing it to many, saving it for all and you are loved by us! Thank you sir. Sincerely thank you. Be proud to know your work will live as long as theirs through this new craft you have masterfully adapted to theirs, documenting it digitally, and making sure it’s never truly lost.
Thank you mate!
I second that wholeheartedly Badgermatt. I was born in the 90’s so never got to see any real craftsmanship but by god I love and cherish the old ways.. all of Chris’s videos give me hope👍🏻
Go support him on patreon then
I was born in 81. Most of my grandparents were some sort of craftsman. This has always caught my eye and I'm so grateful for clickspring.
That "star burst" pattern at then end is incredible! I love a bit of Art Deco and that just scratched an itch I didn't know I had!
I wouldn't be surprised if this machine had inspired the whole deco movement.
It scratched that itch with repeatable pressure and depth of cut.
A start on the deep dive into operation of the Straight-Line Engine, with a bit more detail on the tool from the previous video. Do please enjoy!
These videos will preserve something that for all practical purposes has been dead for almost half a century I find it extremely fascinating
Oh I like how "the start of" promises mooooar..! Thanks for sharing!
I can't *WAIT* for you to demonstrate making a textured grip for a dagger!
I've been a Mechanical Engineer for over 25 years and I could never hope to create something as beautiful as this machine. It truly is humbling to see something like this at work.
Get a diagram, learn the basics of operation, and go ahead. I’m sure you could figure out a fixture for at least one pattern.
Saw a guy who made one himself on here.
Any day Chris releases a new video will make it a good day. Doesn't matter what happened the rest of the day, really...
Great to have you watching mate :)
That's how I'm feeling. It's over 100°F in Minnesota(which isn't all that common) today and I have no a/c, so this vid is most welcome to help pass the time!
Like therapy isn't it
Exactly. I’d like to know that he makes money from CZcams from his great content.
Those patterns are gorgeous, and that machine looks incredible! It makes complicated patterns using simple concepts.
Thank you for unlocking the mystery of how these beautiful patterns are created. I have long admired this form of surface pattern but never understood how it was performed. So wonderful to have it detailed in such an enjoyable and informative way. Your channel is an absolute joy.
Thank you Stu.
I'm a wood turner and I've been contemplating building a simple Rose engine. I have access to a CNC router to make template disks. I find the patterns fascinating. They remind me of the old spirograph toy from when I was a kid. I'm now a kid of 63 years and I love tinkering. Thanks for the great videos.
Please... do it and tell us how it went! Good luck...
Sounds like an interesting project. Please keep us informed.
I have come to the conclusion your narration is more precise than your impeccable metal work. No one else better on you tube,in my opinion. Thank you for you attention to all the details.
The last pattern reminds me of 1920's art deco. Would be a beautify wall piece to catch the sun.
Straight line edge and patterns were very popular in our decor decoration. They made heavy use of these machines.
Nowadays such patterns are produced by CNC machines or lithographic techniques. However I think they lack the 'art' of an engine turned pattern.
You can get lost in those patterns, so relaxing.
each of your videos is for me a reference to my son what a precision manual work should look like
my teacher of precision mechanics (97 years old), when he saw one of your films, he said: it means that I can't do shit, and for him I should clean the workshop on my lap - and for me he was a master in his trade
There needs to be a museum for this kind of art.
That chip at 8:45. Wow. Every bit about this machine is fascinating.
This gives a nice demonstration of how seemingly inexplicable, impossibly complicated and beautiful patterns in nature arise.
Things such as the iridescence of bird feathers and butterfly wings, the mirror-like shine of fish skin and scales, and the complicated swirls in the centres of flowers have got nothing to do with magic, miracles, or supernatural agents; they're demonstrably based on simple repetitions on a tiny biological scale.
Great video, Chris. 🙂
Same thing with butterfly wings. there is no pigment. only nanoscopic sctuctures that bounce, reflect, and absorb the different wave lengths of light.
@@cailco100 And with that it's nice to refer to Richard Feynman, where he talks about colors. We think bright colored flowers are pretty, but insects are attracted to those flowers by those same properties of color, so things can be and are attractive at multiple levels. Step back a bit and for us it's the aesthetics, come a lot closer and it's the physics of things that are appealing.
Those cuts are so beautifully controlled. I would definitely be the person who loses focus and 'clicks' the ratchet three times instead of two on the last pass and watches the whole piece get ruined... This is exactly why I can't have nice things!
I have wondered how this type of engraving was done, but wasn't quite curious enough to ask/look/search as I didn't see a place in my shop for it.
MAKE magazine posted an article that got me to open YT and as unlikely as I am to ever practice this art, I was floored.
I was amazed by the complexity of many simple parts to produce a compound result.
Still stuck thinking of the formula to cut the "checkerboard" pattern
Will be back for more and now going to find someone operating one of these to see it live.
Grateful for you, and others (who I'll find!) keeping this art alive.
You filming, lighting and post processing is just SOO good. Even on my old 768p laptop screen those fresh cuts looks so mindbogglingly crisp and shiny. The topics and narration points are always top notch, but it's that "Clickspring finish" in the videography that always make your videos feel seven glaxies ahead of everyone else! :D
was watching a video for a guy making a lighter and was thinking all the time while watching what if Chris made one,I'm sure it is going to be out of this world
Always such a pleasure to watch your work, thank you
I can only think yet again, this machine is a real masterpiece of design and engineering - quite remarkable. Great video Chris, edited as usual to your high standards. :)
Thank you mate!
Wow. Something so simple but deceptively complicated. Mind blown on what can be done with this tool.
Would love to see how the machine is inside to move sideways the paterns
I have to admit, I feel like I could watch this machine work for hours on end without getting bored...
I am pretty darn conflicted when watching your videos. On one hand I regret not knowing about this amazing art and technology as a young man, on the other hand am so grateful being able to see it now. You are a treasure.
Popcorn time 😁 beautiful work Chris 👍
That is delightful. That sunburst pattern would mack a great watch face plate.
This machine doesnt seem like something a novice metalworker could work very well though... Doesn't stop me from wanting one!
Every single one of your videos are a lesson in the beauty of engineering.
Watching this machine work is so soothing.
This is fabulous. And then Fabergé would enamel in the pattern.
i realy hope you wil inspire a lot of young ppl with youre craftsmanship because we need ppl like you :)
i start randomly waving my hands the moment i see a new clickspring video ♥
Once again Clickspring delivers above and beyond, geeze i love this work
This really shows the art and beauty in something most people dont know about.
I always wonder who makes the machines that make machines?
It’s magic watching you work, I hope you have an apprentice so this knowledge isn’t lost 👍🏻
He has - his patrons.
How do I know? 'Cos I'm one of them. Best money I've ever spent!
I'm very consistently amazed by your work. I've always considered myself to be a perfectionist but compared to your skill and knowledge on operating such gorgeous machines, I feel sloppy. The patience you put in your craft is an ideal I wish more people would chase. I'm delighted to watch your videos.
You sir are a craftsman, and I mean it as the best compliment I can give. I stand mesmerized by material bending to your will.
"Damasking" is one of my favorite part about looking at vintage american pocket watches. It's nice to see someone bringing more light to the craft.
One of your replies says you’ve been practicing for a year. I think you’re an authority on this machine because I haven’t seen it anywhere else.
On my deathbed I’d be happy just to listen and watch Chris machine pieces of art.
Thank you for sharing this amazing machine with us!!! I love when a simple machine can create such complex patterns!!
Chris, you still amaze me. Thank you.
Fascinating, beautiful, skilled artisan wizardry.
Nobody can deny the amazing things modern technology is capable of but equally you cant fault the genius of antiquity managing to make beautiful and wonderful things without the aid of computer control and programming. Mechanical euphoria 👍
This machine is a piece of art and perfection.
My head hurts. The tolerance in these machines.
Just casually makes beautiful pieces of art
Any one video can alternately either keep me sharply engaged or put me to sleep. Enthralling and warm blanket don't often come in one package.
Beautiful video and explanation Chris - thank you for sharing.
Awesome video production,discussion,demonstration….thank you for sharing
No way. I can’t believe this machine exists. Amazing.
The Patterns and pieces you create with this machine are just incredibly beautiful
Every once in a while you see something that invokes a strong desire best described as "must have!". This video did just that, I have no clue how to operate one of these machines but I must have one!
The is the most interesting cutting machine that I've seen.
Look forward to your videos and what you can make with it.
I would love to see a combination of the rotation while applying a pattern. You could probably get some amazing pieces depending on how good you are with using them all at different intervals and rotations. Just seeing that final piece where it looks like sun rays by starting the cut at different radii from the center was pretty awesome.
I didn’t understand any of this but it sure was hypnotizing to watch.
Absolutely fascinating video and tool. The mind boggles at the beauty of the patterns it can generate.
Chris, I think your Artisanship has left the planet with these patterns! Every time I see you use this manual machine, I think about the setups that must be so carefully planed and set, then today I thought about the precision it takes on the tool grind to get such a delicate line and chip that breaks perfectly. Then add the supreme patience and thoughtfulness to cut the incredible patterns, with No Mistakes is almost too hard to conceive. Truly Eye Candy for the soul. Thanks Mate its an honor to watch these! ~PJ
Beauty. Engineering. Precision. You are amazing.
Cudos to the maker of this artifact!! It is in itself a genius work of art.
Absolutely amazing! The engineering that went into creating these machines is, to me, mind boggling and fascinating! Where art and science meet.
8:41 That was a beautiful chip right there xD
Clearly this fine old machine has fallen into very good hands. Thanks, Chris
Normal machinists: "look at my Shaper, it makes straight lines."
Watchmakers: "But what IF the line would curve?"
What if the line could bounce like a super ball...
I admire the precision with which you’ve used the machines in the previous videos. How much practice did you get into this machine before you got comfortable for using it in actual works?
About a year or so, but still very much a beginner learning - Cheers :)
@@Clickspring Chris you have to accept master machinist not beginner , because if the true definition of beginner is you then the rest of us hobbyist isn't even on the chart table . But really mate you are one of the best machinist out there. Just the detail alone that is in your work is amazing.
@@anthonycash4609 all it takes is intense passion and hyper fixation 😁
I watched a video (from one of the great watchmaking houses I think), where they said it took about 6 months of in house training to gain a basic competency in the technique.
@@prestonfeivor5488 Like they say about writing: it's easy-all you have to do is stare at a piece of blank paper until drops of blood appear on your forehead.
What an absolute marvel of a machine !
That last piece is simply stunning.
Thanks again Chris, keep them coming
I always liked your channel but now as I've been learning more at my new job about some highly modern tooling it's even more interesting how these things were done in the past or mechanically
I can’t believe you have less than 1m subscribers. Your content is always top shelf.
The focus required to do this is amazing. Ive been trying to drill a matrix of 13x26 holes and still stuffed that up let alone trying to concentrate on this sort of thing, incredible! I dare not even think about how the cutter would be sharpened.
Less than 10 minutes ... and I am stunned. Between this machine, and the rose wheel, a person could spend a lifetime mastering them.
And Chris runs these and a host of others with such incredible master craftsmanship....
Stunning!!!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Wow. That is an intriguing tool indeed...
These patterns are indeed visually pleasing
Your teasers of the stunning gothic and mid-century designs that machine can make would pay for itself. What a shame even CNC machines today would struggle to replicate those.
Mesmerising!
I wish I had your patience and co-ordination
Glad to see you are active once more my friend love the work you do
What a truly beautiful machine
Any time you hear "g'day Chris here and welcome back to clickspring" you know you are in for a treat.
So beautiful! And beautifully photographed and explained as well.
8:40 - watching you cut these squares is like candy for my brain
It's always such a treat to see a new Clickspring video arrive.
I could happily watch hours long videos about the straight line and rose engine. I want to know every mundane detail. 😀
It's always good to see a video from you! You are one of my favorite CZcamsrs !
I don’t care that I will more than likely never do this. It’s still absolutely beautiful and fascinating to see. Thanks Chris for sharing!
A beautiful machine which makes even more beautiful patterns. Pattern design only held back by operator imagination. Thank you Chris for explaining this machine. So simple but yet so - simple.
Magnificent engineering coupled with craftsmanship and art - thanks for the inspirational videos Chris.
such a satisfying viewing experience
Human ingenuity never ceases to amaze me. What a beautiful machine that makes beautiful things.
What a machine! Surely one of the most interesting machines I’ve seen from por cnc era!!!
I am always amazed by these kinds of machines. Both the makers and the loving users deserve a golden ticket in heaven as far as I'm concerned. Tanks for scharing.
What a marvelous machine (and operator) !
What an exquisite contraption
4:44 love how the big slot screws give away the machines age and high quality.
8:23 fantastic job!
I have an old text book on the art of turning, that covers both the straight line and the rose engine. I was so intrigued when I found your channel, for I could actually watch one of these engines do work. Rather than just reading about the setups and the off-color photos in the book. Thank you for showing all of this. Love those machines!
Until you presented this machine in your video, I never knew it existed. I assume they must be very rare and from the looks of your machine they must also be vintage also. Fascinating watching you work.
I have ever seen this beautiful device before now. Glad I stopped by this channel. Will subscribe. Good day. 🇺🇲🍺
I'm so envious of the work.
Man, you have an amazing talent.
New clickspring, yes!
E. The way complicated patterns arise out of simple well controlled inputs reminds me of Conways Game of Life.
I just want to watch this machine work for hours… it’s beautiful.
That machine is amazing. I love that it's completely mechanical. There's something beautiful in a well designed mechanical machine. The more complex the more beautiful. To see all those parts working together in what appears to be chaos to create something so intricate and delicate is wonderful. Knowing that it takes a skilled artisan to make all that happen just makes me appreciate it more.
