using your own blood for layout fluid has got to be the toughest thing I've ever seen; stuff of legends! parents will recount this to their children for generations. as always, extraordinary detective skills.
Thank you for all of the excellent suggestions folks, it was a blast checking them out - lots more testing to come over the next few videos in the main series as I get stuck into the engraving - Please enjoy :)
I love this series. I do wonder if this sidetracking is a little bit excessive in the grand scheme of things - it's not like Dykem would be seen once the project is completely finished.
@rjk The whole point is to see just how hard it would be to use period techniques and materials. Doing it all with modern machines and materials way would be much easier - and wouldn't be visible either. But that defeats the intent of the exercise.
I see blood as a very valid option thouhg it probably wasn't human, goat, chicken or pigs blood would of be readily available and thanks for all the videos they are one of the things that has gotten me interested in machining
We wrote essays from enclyopedias at the library before the internet. Now there is too much info and you can find any lie you want to believe in on there. University will not accept internet references. You must cite the original reserch. Lol academia knows the internet isn’t a reliable source.
Chris, very impressive tests, and way cool you took into account all of the viewer suggestions. Like Tony, was amazed at the "blood" test! I never would have thought of that.
Chris, I’m amazed that in the short time available, you were able to research and procure a wide range of odd materials, study up on their uses & history, (presumably) practice off-camera, and then produce quality video. Are you being assisted by aliens? This is quality stuff, my cyber friend! Keep up the good work!
@@624Dudley Agreed, Chris is extremely thorough, going through all those items to find the most likely and suitable method for the job at hand......impressive.
"Remember kids, the only difference between screwing around and Science, is writing it all down!" But seriously, you're finding excellent materials for filling in engravings as you mentioned, not just for marking for cutting/drilling. This is awesome, and inspiring!
If Dykem was available during antiquity, it would have still been on the Antikythera device when found...based on how long it stays on my hands after a project.... :)
Now if it was Prussian Blue* or Prussian Red (which I haven't seen in 50+ years) it would still be there when the Sun expands onto a Red Giant *I once had to do a map for school and my dad had a tube of Prussian Blue in the basement. Oh was I a mess. He also had Prussian Red which he got from his father.
I read about these ancient materials and compounds 40 yrs ago, somewhere, in a book, when learning to work with wood - and there was a partial translation to modern English - now to see them so clearly while in use is just miraculous. 1000 x thanks! Bless your heart! Down votes are obviously from the ever AWOL volunteers.
If at all possible, from what I've seen from you, I was surprised by the quality of the hand engraved letters - so perfect it rivals with any machine, and it's just a test piece...
I wish i had not found this chanel, AVE, and This Old Tony right before tax season. Gonna be a real chore explaining the new forge, lathe, and drill mill to the mrs.
Once in a while in the dense forests of UA-cam I come across a true gem like your channel and I feel sad. I am sad that it took me this long to know such a gold mine. Thank you, I will be regular here!
Seriously, Clickspring is the best channel on UA-cam. Each video raises the bar so much higher for all other content creators. Chris, thank you for another amazing video! Truly, you inspire me, keep up the great work!
The painstaking dedication to the finest of details is unparalleled in anything I've ever seen. "no big deal just etched out this entire small plate with intricate detail just as an example". Simply amazing
What's amazing is not just the quality of his manufacturing skills, but also his skill at visually documenting it and narrating it so clearly. Any one of these things is an art-form in itself, but he nails all three consistently... :)
This is what the interweb was made for, inquisitive minds coming together to develop innovative solutions to problems. All the best for 2019 to Chris and everyone in the comments section 👍☺
Absolutely amazing the amount of time he takes to do things. This is hard proof he enjoys the process. I have always said it’s the journey that counts not the destination. Enjoy every step of your chosen path.
The amount of effort you put into these builds and videos is immense. Thanks for spending so much time on them! That engraved test plate was a whole project in itself!
love the archeological approach to every step of this build, we some times take for granted how easy tooling and marking is now a days, it really puts the difficulty they had in building any thing , let alone some thing as precise and complected as this device was to make,
Literally giving your own blood for the sake of the video and the project... This... Is dedication... Keep it going Chris, your videos are just plain awesome and inspiring!
One of the more outstanding things about these videos is the amount of geniuses in the comments who think of those ideas! Ofcourse he does a great job aswell and your videos are amazing so good job
I don't know how the education system works down under, but this is a PhD in Archaeology without a shadow of a doubt!!!! As for the little greek marking at the end... "Ευχαριστούμε που φτιάχνεις τα βίντεο"
It's hard to wait while someone (albeit a genius) reproduces one of the most complex and least understood machines of the ancient world. It's just not a project that lends itself to frequent uploads. Unfortunately.
@Mike O'Barr no it doesn't but still, if everyone else put in as much effort as Mr. Chris Clickspring then by the high heavens wouldn't we have to wait.
I'm pretty sure we understand it just fine. It was a clock that matched the timing of the sun and moon and planets. So he could spin it and tell you on what day how the entire solar system would be aligned. And its a fair guess to say it was made by Archimedes given the time.
I am not qualified to even watch you work SIR. Your mastery of focus is astonishing. I have watched the watch makers sand a bridge on a ‘A Lange & Sohne’ watch and was amazed with her efforts as well. You are not the only gifted artisan HOWEVER, you are the only one that has delivered this volume of content to the masses. There is no way to thank you sufficiently nonetheless THANK YOU!
That final inscription in greek ("thanks for viewing") got me by surprise! I've been following your channel from the clock project and I was beyond excited when I saw you were going to do the Antikythera Mechanism. I find everything about the artifact so interesting and intriguing and have read and seen lots about it - but your series really stands out in so many ways. Hope your content gets some official, and much deserved, recognition by museums and institutions by the end. Thank you so much for your time and effort in sharing this amazing project with us! Greetings from Greece!
I watch your videos in a desperate attempt to improve my patience which I badly need to improve. Thankyou so much for making my therapy sooooo interesting.
I applause your Greek engraving! At first i thought you had a stencil, but then I saw you did it freehand! Amazing, I as a Greek couldn't have done it better! Also, ΕΥΧΑΡΙΣΤΟΥΜΕ ΓΙΑ ΤΗΝ ΚΑΤΑΣΚΕΥΗ!
I am blown away by your detailed approach to this subject. I've learnt heaps about marking dyes etc in this video. Please keep the great videos coming. 👍
To build the stunning Antikythera machine you used modern machines, engineering brass stock metals and drills with steel that I am sure weren't available to the ancient artisans. How the hell did they do it and how many did they make?? And modify?? Clickspring is magic and you are a magician! Many thanks!! :-]
I'm not sure how UA-cam's algorithm knew to recommend this, considering there's probably not too many people who know what the Antikythera mechanism is, and I also happen to be writing on the necessity of 'doing the work' as part of any valid exploratory exercise. Watching this made me very happy lol
Chris, you are a boost to local economies. I see the notification, and before I watch, I run to the store and buy $40 worth of junk food that I can enjoy while watching your new video! 😂😂😂
Your videos are SO thorough and well made, I'm just saying that now even though I've been a fan for a long time. I'm surprised you don't have well over 1 million subs.
My sense is that TV is now a failed platform due to the "Media Moguls" of the last century kidding themselves that most of the world's population (i.e.viewers) were stupid, had no curiosity to learn skills, and had little interest in reality. Very little has changed, as the focus becomes more political, sensationalist or searching for fashionable trends.
The quality of your video's never seizes to amaze me. One can only guess how much time you spend preparing, filming and editing. Wonderful job. Congratulations on the 400K subscibers, you earned it!
Chris, you are one of the few people that can actually say you have "Blood, Sweat and Tears" in your work without exaggerating. Love your videos and very much appreciate you sharing such high quality content!
My friend who is a programmer like I am put me onto these videos. There are such similarities with this kind of work and software development. Maths, geometry, tool making, exact mechanisms, solving interesting problems with no immediate answer are commonalities between each profession.
Whoa, this is one of the coolest videos I've ever seen. The Copper Sulfate method (on steel) was like watching magic. I wonder if this is how the myths about lead into gold and Midas got started.
This was a great video. The effort and result of obtaining the ressources, testing them and reading all the comments and obviously research is outstanding. BTW. Great move to like every single one of these comments.
Quandry: Wants more Clickspring videos because of the amazing quality and skills involved. More frequent uploads would mean less time making Clickspring videos of such high quality. Accepts upload rate because you can't rush art. I want more videos because they are awesome. They are awesome because of the time and care that go into each one.
It's hard to imagine a higher quality series of videos than this. Everything about it - content, sound balance, music, camerawork, narration, lighting, pace - is brilliant. I'm currently watching the whole series for the third time. It never gets tired, Chris. :-)
Knowing you read through and thought about all the comments and took the time to edit them in is pretty damn cool. The vid itself is cool but that detail is blowing my mind.
using your own blood for layout fluid has got to be the toughest thing I've ever seen; stuff of legends!

This Old Tony still thinking about the ringleader in the tub here!
Funnily enough, I thought of you when he used blood!
That is so metal
We used to use apprenticeblood. But HR has frowned uppon that.
TOT i thought you used blood too, i´ve seen you cover some work pieces with your blood.... wait? that wasn´t suppose to happen? ;)
That Engraving test was so beautiful. Being a test piece made it almost even better somehow. Thanks for this series!!
Thank you Martin :)
Clickspring Yeah that’s a lot of work for just a test
Holy snek its martin...gotta say you got me into making mechanisms so thank you
Thank you for all of the excellent suggestions folks, it was a blast checking them out - lots more testing to come over the next few videos in the main series as I get stuck into the engraving - Please enjoy :)

I see blood as a very valid option thouhg it probably wasn't human, goat, chicken or pigs blood would of be readily available and thanks for all the videos they are one of the things that has gotten me interested in machining
I for one like to pretend that you just happened to have all these materials laying around your workshop.
“Squid ink, hm. Oh right! Next to the woad!”
I read that in an Adam Savage voice haha
Trent Pierce for some reason I did too, but I didn’t realize until i read your comment
You do know he has a Time Machine, that's how he gets all his very accurate techniques & layout recipes.
I was just taking my first sip of Tea - couldn't quite get it all down.

Today on Clickspring we're making Dykem.
Paging Alec Steele.
Mr. Steele your dream video is ready.
Blooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Dykem! (I think that's the right lyrics)
"Remember kids, the only difference between screwing around and Science, is writing it all down!"
But seriously, you're finding excellent materials for filling in engravings as you mentioned, not just for marking for cutting/drilling. This is awesome, and inspiring!
You are the only UA-cam creator who i have never skipped through a video
Honestly your craftsmanship and videos are breathtaking 👍
If Dykem was available during antiquity, it would have still been on the Antikythera device when found...based on how long it stays on my hands after a project.... :)
Now if it was Prussian Blue* or Prussian Red (which I haven't seen in 50+ years) it would still be there when the Sun expands onto a Red Giant
*I once had to do a map for school and my dad had a tube of Prussian Blue in the basement. Oh was I a mess. He also had Prussian Red which he got from his father.
@@mpetersen6 Very true. I've only used it a couple times years ago for valve lapping.... looking at it on my fingers now :)
Oh clickspring, how I've missed you so so much..
You...hand engraved that entire plate? Just when I think I've seen Chris do it all, he astounds me once again.
That entire *test* plate.
I read about these ancient materials and compounds 40 yrs ago, somewhere, in a book, when learning to work with wood - and there was a partial translation to modern English - now to see them so clearly while in use is just miraculous. 1000 x thanks! Bless your heart!
Down votes are obviously from the ever AWOL volunteers.
I love these moments when you try to get in the head of the original maker. It's fascinating to imagine how he overcame the challenges of the build.
If at all possible, from what I've seen from you, I was surprised by the quality of the hand engraved letters - so perfect it rivals with any machine, and it's just a test piece...
Blew me away too, and it really shouldn't have surprised me considering all his other incredible builds and videos.
The text was a work of art.
@@Pcat0 Absolutely!
Holy crap I didn't catch that that was a test piece. I got chills when I saw it and immediately wanted one. For what purpose I don't know...
@@JakeBiddlecome Hey, Chris: sell the test pieces!
I see a lot of greek fans. Keep up with your exellent videos. Περιμενουμε το επομενο!
Holy CARP!!! Tyrian purple is 4,280.00 USD * / 1000 mg at one supplier I found!
Takes a huge amount of Murex snails to make just a small amount ... 8500 snails per gram
@Evi1M4chine I think when you are paying over 1USD per mg, it is not a bad idea to use mg.
I wish i had not found this chanel, AVE, and This Old Tony right before tax season. Gonna be a real chore explaining the new forge, lathe, and drill mill to the mrs.
Once in a while in the dense forests of UA-cam I come across a true gem like your channel and I feel sad. I am sad that it took me this long to know such a gold mine. Thank you, I will be regular here!
A very well expressed comment that also rings true for me.
Good choice in watercolors! Winsor & Newton is fantastic!
Seriously, Clickspring is the best channel on UA-cam. Each video raises the bar so much higher for all other content creators.
Chris, thank you for another amazing video! Truly, you inspire me, keep up the great work!
I'm happy to know that there are so many intelligent people that comment on your videos to give you all these great suggestions.
The painstaking dedication to the finest of details is unparalleled in anything I've ever seen. "no big deal just etched out this entire small plate with intricate detail just as an example". Simply amazing
He sure does his research. Excellent video
"ΚΑΙ ΕΜΕΙΣ ΕΥΧΑΡΙΣΤΟΥΜΕ ΓΙΑ ΑΥΤΟ ΤΟ ΒΙΝΤΕΟ " (WE ALSO THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO) Keep it up !
The most amazing part about this video is that you actually went through almost the entire comment section on your video.
"Come in off the ledge!"
"Why?!?"
"Well, there's a new Clickspring video!"
"... Sweet."
:)
This is awesome
Amen
What's amazing is not just the quality of his manufacturing skills, but also his skill at visually documenting it and narrating it so clearly. Any one of these things is an art-form in itself, but he nails all three consistently... :)
Blood, sweat and I hope no tears were involved into making those wonderful videos. You are a modern Hephaestus! Εύγε!
I'm VERY impressed by the intelligence and knowledge of your viewers!!!
You kept the best and simplest for the end.... marking and then rubbing the surface makes everything easy to read.
This is what the interweb was made for, inquisitive minds coming together to develop innovative solutions to problems. All the best for 2019 to Chris and everyone in the comments section 👍☺
When it comes to drying time, I think we should take into account the extraordinary patience the makers of these devices had.
Εμείς ευχαριστούμε για τα φανταστικά βίντεο. Με την τέχνη σου δίνεις ζωή στην ιστορία
Our craft is an art. Clickspring you have a beautifully rare talent keep it up 👍
ΕΥΧΑΡΙΣΤΩ ΠΟΥ ΠΑΡΑΚΟΛΟΥΘΗΣΑΤΕ ΤΟ ΒΙΝΤΕΟ
Ευχαριστώ - it would take me a long time to type that into Google Translate without a Greek keyboard... now I can cut 'n' paste. :)
That was cool
edgeeffect, it says:
"THANK YOU FOR WATCHING THE VIDEO"
Google translate is slackin lol
Looks Greek to me...
Somehow i feel so proud being able to read the inscriptions on the dial , ΕΥΧΑΡΙΣΤΟΥΜΕ ΔΙΑ ΤΗΝ ΨΥΧΑΓΩΓΙΑ.
Again, answering the unanswerable! Great depth of possibilities, i love that you don't simply "ask" a question. Good work, enjoy these videos I do!
As always, the production values of your videos are head and shoulders above almost every other UA-cam Creator.

It's hard to wait while someone (albeit a genius) reproduces one of the most complex and least understood machines of the ancient world. It's just not a project that lends itself to frequent uploads. Unfortunately.
That's exactly why they're worth waiting for tbh

@Mike O'Barr no it doesn't but still, if everyone else put in as much effort as Mr. Chris Clickspring then by the high heavens wouldn't we have to wait.
I'm pretty sure we understand it just fine. It was a clock that matched the timing of the sun and moon and planets. So he could spin it and tell you on what day how the entire solar system would be aligned.
