I just came across your channel and watched this update video. I really enjoyed seeing your engravings and drawings of various mechanical devices. Quite interesting drawings. I also run a small channel and oft struggle to find the energy to edit and post videos. I enjoy filming, but the editing process seems to take it out of me. Hang in there and focus on what you enjoy. 😊
You must teach us how to make those prints! I went to the Science Museum in London and there was a copper plate on display which was used to print watch papers inserted in between the inner and outer case by the watchmaker after a repair as an advertisement / padding/ service related information written on it (I only assume the latter). This particular piece was from the early 19th century made for Thomas P. Joyce from Manchester. I am not a watchmaker yet, but if I am every going to be I want these prints and I am very verY veRY vERY VERY interested hot to make the plate and how to print, super super cool stuff, I love you! :) Happy new year!
Thanks :) Videos on engraving/printing are on the 'to do' list. A watch my dad has, from 1745, has a watch paper in the outer pair case from a watchmaker to British royalty! Fascinating things. All the best with your pursuits.
Quiet! You've been noisy enough elsewhere! At least your 1500+ subscribers know you're still with us. Happy New Year, mate and may '24 be better than the last few years have been.
Ohh, Gee, thanks :) Based on the interest I got demonstrating engraving at a recent exhibition, I'm thinking an engraving video needs to be next on the list, including making the rotating vice.
@@theselectiveluddite I would love that! I have many interests, like you. I have many skills too, but engraving isn't one of them. I was very impressed by your sketches for engravings.
An absolutely stunning watch! Hope you get your energy back soon. All the best wishes for you and your family.
Glad to have you back :)
Hope you feel better. Your videos are unique and inspiring - I’ve seen no other video of a hairspring being made by hand.
Thanks Mars :)

Lovely to hear from you!
Your engravings are beautiful and your work is appreciated. Happy New Year to you.

I hope you're well now. I've only just discovered you and your fantastic mind.
