In the tradition of "A Fistful of Tools" and "For a Few Tools More" comes "The Good, The Bad and The Oiler" - Please Enjoy! btw The actual tool made in the video will be up for auction for the Make-A-Wish Foundation (www.makeawish.org.au). So if you reckon this one belongs on your bench, then be sure to put in a bid and help me raise some money for a terrific organisation. The auction can be found here: www.ebay.com/itm/264236625663
As if you needed to be any more awesome. This video was amazing, as per usual, but your wholesomeness in auctioning off the item charity is the cherry on top. Legend.
Well, looks like now it's time for This Old Tony to start recreating antique mechanisms, because this was one big step towards claiming his position as #1 machinist-turned-feature-film-director
For the aluminium tumbleweeds alone, you deserve a like. The rest of he intro makes it a Favorite, and the rest of the video... Well, UA-cam didn't include a button powerful enough to honor it sufficiently. Brilliant, as everything else off your channel is. Thank you very, very much!
Chris, when you finally put it together for the first time. How slow each part moved right into place, was completely incredible. Thanks for sharing this I had no clue this was even a thing! Great job
My grandfather was a watch and clock repairman. He passed away when I was pretty young so I didn't have a chance to learn much from him. He purchased a business of an older guy he worked for in the 50s, so he started off pretty well with a lot of original new parts. My mom held onto the majority of things in case I ever wanted to use them and I'm glad she did - a few watch makers lathes, a ton of tiny tools. Millions of parts tiny gears, crystals, springs, new from different companies. Still in original packaging from years ago. - There are a ton of items that I have no idea what they are or how they are used. Not only that but if they happen to have some sort of label on the box they're in, often not much comes up online for them either. I love watching these videos because I can see the actual use of the parts. There are a bunch of tiny oilers with ruby inserts. Small little wooden ones, some stacking, a lot of them. I had no idea that it what they were used for until I watched this. I'm slowly trying to organize everything, and get one of the lathes setup properly so I can use it. Every time I watch one of these videos it makes me want to go dig around in the tool bin and figure more stuff out.
And now, when I have barely got used to the superb quality of your productions, you come with this. You, Sir, are seriously spoiling your viewers, turning us into UA-cam connoisseurs. What else are we going to watch? Please, do not stop.
i can't even begin to express the sheer wonder I get watching any of your video's Chris, even making something like an oiler, its not just an oiler it's a work of art, the way the parts slid together so slowly and smoothly when stacked was a joy to watch, the accuracy with which you make things always astonishes me, I've said it before but its worth repeating, you are a master of your craft mate and I thank the UA-cam gods for giving us mere mortals the chance to sit at the shoulder of an amazing machinist and watch him turn pieces of steel and brass into beautiful tools, clocks or ancient mechanical devices, thank you!
The sheer effortless diligence Chris shows in all his work is so admirable. Everything is clean,tidy and well organised. The same can be seen in the production quality of his videos. They get more effort poured into them than most TV shows do
Ok, we know you are a master craftsman, but when you assembled the unit and let each part settle onto the other and they slowly fell into place as the air escaped, you were SHOWING OFF! Keep it up! Man, I love your videos. Thanks so much.
Okay, this needs to stop. I can only handle so much high production value. What's next a full feature cinematic release in technicolor of the Mechanical Turk? Won't somone please think of the children!?? D:
Mechanical Turk? That's a rather interesting idea. Since Clickspring has a bit of a reputation making old mechanisms using theoretically plausible tools. Think it might be possible to encourage Clickspring to make a reproduction of the Mechanical Turk?
Hey Chris! I am seeing a lot of people waiting here for a new video. It's not a surprise as they are great, but I just wanted to tell you not to feel pressurized into anything. I know that a lot of content creators often feel bad and depressed when they can't keep up with fans "demands", so just remember to put your life first. I love your work and it is worth as much wait time as you feel is needed!
You sir are a joy to watch. I would thouroghly enjoy hanging out in your shop with you creating things and picking your brain.. Thank you for sharing. Cheers
Mate, you are a true master that takes value in the smallest things you make, even your tools. It's always a pleasure watching your videos and picking up on you discipline and workmanship.
This video's content is, once again, amazing. The different oiler segments settling seemingly in slow motion was particulary satisfying. As for the intro, I thought that I might have stepped into a This Old Tony production (which is meant as high praise), and given that I am very fond of Sergio Leone's movies, I thoroughly approve.
"an excellent weekend lathe project" - it would take me several years... just to recover from the first fistful of swarf I inhaled. Your work Mr Clickspring is the envy of many, and the dreams of the remaining. Your video editing and style has improved with each video and is just out of this world, and the fact you upload it to youtube for us to enjoy is truely a gift to humanity.
He uploads all the time on the pateron page from what i hear, I'll be honest, the production value of his videos are well worth it tho, as soon as i can I'll be joining myself
Fine workmanship at its best!! How satisfying was that at the end where the parts where placed on top of one another and they slowly seat themselves perfectly.
There are tons of videos of real craftsman making cool things out of metal on UA-cam but the professionalism that goes on with some of these blows my mind. I watch in awe how these come together. The detail in the work is equally done with the video production and separates these few people above the rest. Keep the work coming.
I just can't comprehend the quality that is put into making these videos. Truly outstanding. You made me invest a few hours more into my February video that is long overdue and just try some compositing myself. I love the composting shot you do with the CAD render overlayed over the untouched material. I will steal this idea for a 3D printing video.
Oh my goodness. It is soo satisfying to watch your work pieces coming out of the stock materials. But even more satisfying is watching the ever so slightly sliding together of the parts in the assembly part of the Video.
I bet you had fun editing this piece. It certainly was fun to watch. I loved the Sergio-Leoni-esque titles. Well done Chris. You deserve a Streamy Award!
OMG you are like the guy who always brings his missus flowers! Your attention to detail is (literally) eye watering and leaves most of us in the dust in terms of patience levels - thus making us look 'not as good'!!! And thats just this oiler! The clock work you do is at a whole other level again! All power to you my friend! Seriously, watching this stuff come to life by your hand is a joy.
That final shot where you where stacking it together and the pieces just slid together on their own with just the right amount of friction was down right amazing. Great work as always!
Thank you Chris. I just bought a copy of the namesake movie yesterday. You should have ToT and AvE on this with you. I'll let you three argue over who gets which character roll. :) Cheers.
Today a man from half way around the world taught me about a watch company that was started in my hometown of Springfield, IL. The internet is a strange and wonderful place.
Yay! Been getting you in my recommended recently so rewatched a whole bunch of your videos I'd already seen. Was hoping a new vid would be coming out soon.
Chris used his lathe to go back in time and check a few measurements on the original Antikythera mechanism, however he overshot by many months on the return journey. I told him that little Sherline Lathe was underpowered for such a long jump, but he never listens.
I'm new at all of this machining stuff so maybe I'm just ignorant but, if your decked out with every.conceivable measuring device and a good dose of patience, why should it be so difficult to turn parts with such tight clearances....? I'm not saying I wasn't impressed...... But I wasn't surprised.
@@garthodonnell3661 You shouldn't need "every conceivable measuring device" at all. If you've got some practice fits like that can been done with the old school inside and outside spring calipers that can't even do a direct numbers measurement. All you do is compare the inside measurement to what you have on the outside and keep cutting until it's a slight bit under. Even with a standard pair of dial calipers it could be done pretty easy. .001" - .002" clearance isn't that tight of tolerance.
Ok...that is SICK...Chris you never cease to amaze me with your work. You make this look easy, and we all know this takes hours and hours of work. AWESOME WORK AS ALWAYS!!!!!!!
Several points 1) WD-40, AKA Work Destroyer 40. The ideal way to much up just about anything 2) Large Radii with form tools. Often it s a good idea to remove material with some form of relieving tool first. As the material becomes tougher. The Radii or form bigger. The more this becomes needed. 3) One problem with form tools I've seen is that with flimsy set-ups is a tendency of the work to climb up over the tool due to the work grabbing. Stiff set-ups, low speeds, and materials that need it cutting fluids. 4) And finally a question. All we ever see of Clickspring is his hands. All we ever see of This Old Tony is his hands. Maybe Clickspring has a really good Yank accent. Or TOT has a great Oz accent. Are Clickspring and This Old Tony one in the same? One ponders these great questions of existential importance.

where is the antikythera mechanism
Clickspring why use rubies in this tool?
Happy to see I'm not the only one who's been on an Eastwood binge
Hey Clickspring. How do you make the jewels?
As if you needed to be any more awesome. This video was amazing, as per usual, but your wholesomeness in auctioning off the item charity is the cherry on top.

work of art!
Cheers mate!
TOT? Yes!!!
Oh I Love Both of You sir. Your videos are educational and Entertaining.
time for you to make one
Came here from ToT, and I crapped my pants. No offense Tony.
Who else got a kick out of his accent over the GB&U music. 😂👍
You should try making bad videos.
Hand Tool Rescue he can’t. He don’t know to do it.
Too much work to make bad videos at this point
grindhouse wouid be a good genre
Speaking of videos, where's yours? How's your shop coming along?
If everyone maintained their tools like this , you would have nothing to do.
Great stuff, now all I need is a large pizza and a video upload from this old Tony and my evening is complete
@@siegfriedkettlitz6529 Thanks. The images in your head that stick.
I see you are a man of culture as well.
@@siegfriedkettlitz6529 Think you're slick, do ya :)

Out of this world!!

Not a single tangent in the whole 13 minutes. I think TOT is safe...
TOT is already referencing to Chris and right he is.
Not comedian though...
I came here to say something like this :P
For the aluminium tumbleweeds alone, you deserve a like.
The rest of he intro makes it a Favorite, and the rest of the video...
Well, UA-cam didn't include a button powerful enough to honor it sufficiently.
Brilliant, as everything else off your channel is. Thank you very, very much!
Thank you mate :)
do you feel lubricated? Well, do ya? _Punk?_
@@AttilaAsztalos no, you'd need a third roommate who also loves pizza but demands it has pineapple and anchovies on it or something 😁
@@AttilaAsztalos hahahaha, guilty pleasures
six drops or only 5? Well I was kinda busy and I lost count myself.
"Magnum Oiler" is another movie, as you well know.
My mistake. Four coffins.

@@andrewcady9443 thanks for sharing the link. Pretty cool to see that with a dovetailed box!
Only on Clickspring will you learn that there IS such a thing as precision oiling. So mesmerizing AND educative. Thanks again!
When those pieces slid together and drifted into place. Oh man, that's one of the most satisfying things to watch.

Good idea ! What about the Maillardet's automaton ? [ ua-cam.com/video/C7oSFNKIlaM/v-deo.html ] . Cheers !
I remember the oil that came w the family old Victorian Singer Sewing machine. And the unique tools. Wonderful craftsmanship.
Hit it out of the ballpark with the editing on this one!
Tony's rubbing off
That is why he needed the oiler. 😄
@@Scott_C right. Gotta lube with something
I'm torn. They are both great channels.
The moment you assembled the parts and they slipped together slowly and perfectly - so satisfying...

Thank you mate, I appreciate it :) I will be back, currently following up some very interesting research on the Antikythera Mechanism
I'll never get sick of watching your videos.
Four years later, I still enjoy watching this!
This guy has absolutely hands down the best video production quality on youtube

I literally cannot handle this level of production value
Down here in Australia our 3 most important exports are Iron ore, Gold and Clickspring videos.
Hands down best machining channel to watch on UA-cam
I feel embarrassingly like a little kid...at the excitement of seeing a Clickspring video in my notifications :)
Nothing to be ashamed of :)
@@VulpesVulpes42 Embarrassed... maybe a little. Ashamed... never!
@@motopreserve I thought that the words were synonymous.
I've needed to be somewhere in 15 minutes when I've seen a 15 minute Clickspring video just got uploaded. I regret nothing... :)
Im as excited as i was when i was a kid and a new thunderbirds episode was on tv
The combination of machinist talent and editing production is so next level. I’ve just binged on all of them.
Where did you go Chris? Your channel it's the best
I'm currently doing some more research for the Antikythera project, I will be back on the build videos once that is complete - Cheers :)

Arguably the best videos on UA-cam. Clicking "Like" is not enough.
When those layers just melted together at the end, very satisfying.

Perfect production value. Considerably better than many other professional productions. And the engineering; exquisite.

A real master. Every single thing he makes looks perfect. A really good fit too as evidenced by the slow dropping during assembly.
Absolutely stunning!!! Beautiful work chris
Incredible craftsmanship. Found this channel through ToT, subscribed.
I bet you had fun editing this piece. It certainly was fun to watch. I loved the Sergio-Leoni-esque titles. Well done Chris. You deserve a Streamy Award!
Best intro ever for a machinist video.
Awsome! As always! Your channel deserve ten times more subscribers!
Man I appreciate good craftsmanship....and you sir are an excellent craftsman.
Love the spaghetti western theme. So well put together. Reminds me of This Old Tony. Awesome.
Adam s Savage said you were awesome !spectacular is the word I have for your work.
Beautiful, phenomenal,amazing. Just throwing in a few more. ❤️👍
Great job, as always! While watching the video, I forgot about my coffee. I'll go make a new one.
Breathtaking production values, higher than the incredibly high values typical for this channel.
The intro gives me this old clickspring vibes
Unreal ! This level of craftsmanship is breathtaking.
Another great video Chris! Looking forward to seeing more videos as you continue the The Antikythera Mechanism project.

OK, I watched this whole thing not knowing what the end result was going to be, but I don't care. It was beautiful. Almost a spiritual experience.
Once again, mind blowing craftsmanship.
Very nice, and that intro was simply awesome, if I could like this 100 times it still wouldn’t be enough.
That final shot where you where stacking it together and the pieces just slid together on their own with just the right amount of friction was down right amazing. Great work as always!
Amazing as always Chris. Loved the Opening. Very creative.

Miss your videos!
Today a man from half way around the world taught me about a watch company that was started in my hometown of Springfield, IL. The internet is a strange and wonderful place.
After two years UA-cam recommended me this video again and I watched it again. The intro still is brilliant and so is the rest as always.

So I liked the video before watching it (as always with Clickspring) and I have to say I have nothing to regret.
I do that because I often forget to like when binge watching
Fantastic. Beautifully done.
