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 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.
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👍🏻
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Nothing will ever be able to top the Art Déco period for me. Excellent materials, dedicated craftsmanship and a reverence for geometry all rolled into one. It's divinely pure simplicity, but executed in the most lavishly intricate way.
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.
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. 🙂
@@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.
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
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.
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
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!
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?
@@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.
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.
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. :)
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.
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.
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 🇨🇦
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
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
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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. 😀
Wow, such incredible talent, these videos never cease to knock my socks off. TBH, my ultimate dream is that one day we get a series where Clicksping builds a wristwatch from the ground up. Case construction, gear cutting, guilloche dial, bluing and polishing, etc. I can only imagine how beautiful that watch would be. Anyway, enough day dreaming, thanks for the video! 👍
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!
I love your videos. I don't even know how that machine really works but it fascinates me to no end. I think that's the sign of someone who loves what they do, the passion you can imbue into your videos shows that you love this kind of thing and it is infectious to the audience. Thanks for sharing the love of what you do with us!
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.
Just looking at this machine and it stablemate bring me back to another era when true craftsmen took tremendous pride in what they were able to create. I'm not saying they no longer exist but the tools and technology sure have. The genius of them being pure mechanical is off the scale cool.
Chris, your handwork is always beautiful, but this machine takes the lead. Mesmerizing to see it work and with beautiful results. Love to see more of it.
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
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.
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.
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 👍
I have started watching your videos and my vocabulary is preventing me from explaining how amazing they are, YOU SIR are next level, Thank you for creating such mind expanding viewing, I get the feeling you may be from another planet, I wont tell anyone
Beautifully and clearly shot and edited as always. Jeez, these are like a masterclass in how to go about explaining any complex machine. Lovely work, Chris.
Once again you've demonstrated your extreme prowes as an engineer. I always love to view you posts more than once. Not to mention there is always something to learn, bonus! Thanks Chris.
Such an unendingly cool machine. Seems like the epitome of tactile satisfaction once familiar. Thanks again for the very in-depth look at a truly gorgeous piece.
The first video on this machine I didn’t really understand at all. Your voiceover really helped me figure this one out. Thanks for explaining and I’d love to see a similar video on the Rose Engine. That pendant you made was incredible
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.

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.
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!
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.
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.
Those patterns are gorgeous, and that machine looks incredible! It makes complicated patterns using simple concepts.
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!

Same thing with butterfly wings. there is no pigment. only nanoscopic sctuctures that bounce, reflect, and absorb the different wave lengths of light.
