Through a highly unlikely set of circumstances, I made a part for the Marble Machine X.

Me and the Marble Machine X are equally thankful for the timing of this particular sliding door moment Will :)
Nice job guys!!! I love how this piece looks on the MMX 😍
I love how the Marble Machine X has parts from people all over who have had a hand in building it.
I was waiting for Brass Wilson to show up.

Marble Machine is truly a work of art and engineering. Amazing work done by all of those involved. 🙂👍
I really like the spring design. It also brings me joy to know that ThinkerCon played some part in this.
You're the first person to mention the spring design but it was something I was fairly proud of in that it's super effective, simple to make/install, and highly space efficient. I spent a lot of time thinking about that one. I'm sure ThinkerCon enabled many other connections as well!
Love you and your enthusiastic glow Mr. Sandlin!
Same just watching this video for the first time and the spring design jumped out at me as well.
I am now smarter ! Thanks Destin !
Wow! You are on here 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You are very nice channel!!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I am a master machinist who owns his own die and tooling shop. I have spent 65,000 hours minimum (25 years/50 hours a week/All year long) in a shop doing stuff like this. I just worked 14 hours today playing catch up on an order my nickel plating guy messed up. How do I relax? I watched this video. I appreciate the hell out of CNC and CAM but there is something therapeutic about doing the work by hand. I pay my bills with my hass, I stay sane with my Bridgeport, and I relax watching these videos. You ever need something lapped to less than .000010 total flatness and parallelism let me know. I make watch movements for fun and like to see how accurate I can make them so I have gotten stupidly good at finishing down to micron scale final dimensions. Keep up the awesome work! Hope to see more from you soon. If I ever manage to sneak up on an atomic clocks (thermal issues are whats stopping me right now and since we don't have liquid helium Dewars on our wrists I have lots of work to do lol...) ill send you a finished movement for your collection of precision.
Dirty McGurdy wow epic comment
Hey! I'm a watchmaker and your comment peaked my interest. Do you have any of work on movements online?
@@k.ekkonen4688I am in the middle of designing new tools and fixtures to help me shrink components down beyond what I am currently skilled enough to even attempt. None of my previous full movements (5 full completions in total over 10 years with 5x that many failed attempts) have ever met my standards. I'm self taught in the " I had to learn german to read the super old books I found on how to actually design a movement " sense of the phrase. It's embarrassing thinking that someone would ever see one and it's always been my weird hobby which has slowly consumed all my spare time. Never really occurred to me anyone would ever have any interest. My last 2 are very accurate but I consider them ugly final pieces. I wont ever get to a De Bethune DB28 Steel Wheels level of aesthetic perfection but one day I hope to have something I am proud enough of to share.
@@dirtymcgurdy5515 Sounds great! That DB in particular is stunning. Just bought a Myford Super 7 that I'm overhauling and I'm gonna start my first prototype probably in the fall. Good luck with your endeavours!
@@k.ekkonen4688 not going to pretend that I am not jealous . Those are wonderful lathes and with some TLC they last forever. Best of luck! I'd love some reason to restore some older machine tools but my space and time are limited
Great idea with that adjustable clutch and great machining :-)
@mymechanics you are watching also?😍😍😍 So much great channel in comments!!!!🛠✏🎬
I work in a newspaper printing factory and we use the same clutches, as you just made, only a little bit bigger 😃
Its use is 2 fold, as a timer to sync different parts of the machine and as a safety device. Our outer ring is made of hard plastic and if something would go wrong in the machine it would break, before the machine itself becomes damage. It is something like a torque fuse. 😆
I liked your work and video, very well made. 👍 Came here after seeing Martin's video.
Torque fuse is such a great phrase
Could have used all metal gears and a small shear pin, both work equally well at safety but a shear pin costs pennies...
@@PaftDunk
Shear pins: that's what Acme Gridleys use.
I think that 'torque fuse' beats 'shear pin'. Good way to design for safety.
Isn't that a sacrificial clutch?
Those numbers look 100x better than any punch/stamp thingy could ever do. Well worth the cost.
Take a look at Martin installing and testing it here! ua-cam.com/video/CBfd0Tjii9Y/v-deo.html
The washers are there just as a placeholder where the Marble Machine's gears will go. Don't worry, those are not part of the final part! :D
Nice job!!! Looking forward for more collaborations between both of you!!!
Just the spline spining that could have been a disaster
And well done my favorite part was the polishing
whoa destin from smartereveryday ? noice !
How did you fixed the spring on to the brass? I dont seem to see any bolts and nuts nor a groove for the steel to lay in and not slide out sideways due to the rotation. Did you sawtered it in place or epoxyed it ? Or maybe its something completely different.
I'm curious!
The degree of precision that machinists have never ceases amaze me
I looks so peaceful right?😍😍😍⚒⚒⚒
Where you watching another UA-cam channel for precision machining? Because there was none done here on this video.
as an engineer, I hope you'll appreciate this: Elegant
If your engineer uses the word elegant in describing his design, fire him, for he has no common sense.
@@nutsmcflurry3737 in the world of engineering, it is really difficult du build something really elegant and i think it is really rare today to find some elegant constructed things, because mostly the parts have to be as cheap as possible or there are some other aspects you have to think of for example heat, friction or torsional moment...
so elegant is really the best way to describe this beautiful piece of work...
@@nutsmcflurry3737 Then you should stick to "fixing toilets" and leave the accomplished engineers to their work. While "elegant" has one meaning in regards to people or style it has another in engineering, mathematics and science.
"The word elegant, in general, is an adjective meaning of fine quality. Refinement and simplicity are implied, rather than fussiness, or ostentation. An elegant solution, often referred to in relation to problems in disciplines such as mathematics, engineering, and programming, is one in which the maximum desired effect is achieved with the smallest, or simplest effort. Engineers, for example, seek the elegant solution as a means of solving a problem with the least possible waste of materials and effort. The elegant solution is also likely to be accomplished with appropriate methods and materials - according to the Elegant Solution Organization, duct tape is not likely to be part of an elegant solution, unless, of course, the problem involves taping ducts." -Margaret Rouse
But don't take my retired engineer's word for it:

partsolutions.com/engineering-elegance-the-axial-engine-will-blow-your-mind/
ux.stackexchange.com/questions/63516/what-is-elegant-design
As a machinist I'll second that opinion.
@@ramosel I'm sure that this was deemed elegant, until the front fell off. ua-cam.com/video/Ucflj-MsJBI/v-deo.html
"I'm turning the cutter upside down and running the lathe backwards" Genius!!, I would have never thought of that. I part on the back side backwards, but would never have thought to work backwards on the front side. Thank you.
For the engraving, try black shellac. No idea about suppliers in the US, but it's really easy to work with (soldering iron with copper end-bit is hot enough) and leaves a really beautifull finish if done correctly. Has been the go to for clock and instrumentmakers for ages
I was going to suggest "Brass Black" -- it reacts with the brass to make a black oxide layer that's chemically bonded with the base metal. It's very abrasion resistant and gives a dark black that "pops" if you use a clear sealant over it, which you should use anyway if you want your brass to remained untarnished and fingerprint free.
Birchwood Casey makes small bottles of it for gunsmithing and it's usually available at bigger sporting goods stores that sell firearms.
Its mainly just nitric acid.
Let it do its thing for a few minutes and wash with warm water. Leaves a deep blue oxide layer on the brass.
I applaud your commitment to craftsmanship. While I now live in the world of CNC by necessity, I have been a machinist for 41 years and spent my apprenticeship and the early years of my career working with manual mills and engine lathes as you do. I don't think I have met anyone in the past 30 years who knows what a dividing head is let alone how to use one. Bravo. Bravo. Bravo.
Marten sent me over. Glad he did. Brilliant. Liked and subscribed. Happy Wintergatan Wednesday!
Since we share the same name I'd be remiss not to point out that it's Martin, not Marten. :)
Every aspect of this design really turned my crank.
I especially enjoyed panicking at your sharpie job, saying "no!" over and over again.
Then you scrape off the excess....and THEN I understand!
What a captivating video!
Great Leitmotiv - Perfect Timing - solid commentary, excellent balance of information, acoustics and eye candy.
The craftsman's love for his craft and his network shine in this one.
A famous communicator and pastor has a saying: "Be one _in_ a million. Not one _of_ a million." A single word makes a profound difference.
As craftsmen/machinists go, you sir are truly one _in_ million!
Bravo on creating a masterpiece to be incorporated as a critical component of a unique machine.
Just watched the indexable clutch in use over on the Wintergatan channel. Wow! An amazing result. Well done, sir. Well done.
Awesome work! It's amazing to see youtubers come together on a project like that.
Be an electrician they said, it will be satisfying they said.......over here is a machinist making what ever the fk they want!
Awesome stuff :)
@@tiberiu_nicolae it has absolutely nothing to do with money.
Its about the ability to create.
I do.... but I'm an electrician, so I don't think it counts.
I like woodworking also!🛠🛠🛠
Excellent design & workmanship!!
I left my machinist and toolmaker work more than 20 years ago to pursue engineering, but watching your manufacturing videos reminds me of how beautiful the trades can be when execuged by a master.
Came from the Wintergatan video, and this was such a great piece of work, it's clearly a labor of love. I was even a bit touched by the appreciation you have for your situation, even though you clearly deserve the recognition you get. Keep up the great work man.
I have a piece of oak heartwood, about four feet tall, foot and a half in diameter, I use for a "wood anvil", working with sheet metal or doing punch or engraving on bronze or brass. It weighs over an hundred pounds, the end grain gives great support, and molds to a very small but fine degree, to the metal. That tree was almost five feet in diameter when it came down. Enjoyed watching you "cut in reverse". My lathes are all with threaded headstocks, I can't do that, sure looked beautiful, not flying in the air. Thanks for showing this, always love to watch brass or bronze turning or parts moving, been with steam most of my life.
I'm probably not the first person to suggest this but you can convert your existing drill bits to brass/aluminum by modifying the rake angle. Chris from Clickspring made a video on this subject called "Modifying A Twist Drill For Drilling Brass"
It’s called “brassing off” the cutting edges for a reason haha
I have a super fancy set of brass drill bits. They're so dull and old thats about all they will cut. Got em at harbor freight years ago! Must be worth a fortune in appreciation.
Never knew there were special drills for brass, always sharpened a drill for the application . . . .I guess that's just old school . . . .Great project and vid!!!
@@dannyoktim9628 Brass, unlike steel, tends to grab on to the tool. You can see this happening in the video where the drill bit tears the piece out of the vise. This is why optimal rake angles differ from metal to metal.
Check out the video called "Modifying A Twist Drill For Drilling Brass" for a better explanation than I can give.
EDIT: it can be even more noticeable when drilling plastic.
@Sheldon Robertson Oh.
When I saw that the comment you pointed out was from This Old Tony saying he was “speechless”, I was speechless. Someone with that amount of skill praising everyone who worked on this project it AMAZING!!!
The most beautiful part mounted into MMX. It reminds me of Cryptex from the Da Vinci Code.
I was thinking the exact same thing... Wish he'd make one for us to watch!
Yeah he really put This Old Tony to shame! jk of course; Everyone is upping the ante and putting in really stunning work into this project. It is heart-warming to see all of the effort and care... Really deep and meaningful care for music, art, engineering and general nerdiness. It is emblematic of the best the internet has to offer.
made a cheezy one in solidworks years ago
This is a beautiful and elegant part! And the numbers caught my eye immediately in Martin's video, I love you for having had them hand engraved and helping keep this artisanry alive! Imagine if all machines around uw were as beautiful as this one...
my two favorite youtubers working together
OK, I watched the installation and understand now that the washers were only temporary to keep things together until installation. My apology for even questioning it. And as I said before, an absolutely beautiful job!
I could watch this 1000 times. Your work is beautiful.
I fell into a daydream watching this... I gave up my job, sold most of my possessions and started a pilgrimage to your workshop. On the way there I visited many maker projects to help. When I got to your workshop I slept on your door step and in the morning when you came out I begged you to take me on as an apprentice... :)
Beautiful work!
This is pure magic. I just finished watching the weekly Wednesday with Martin and could not wait to watch your creation. It brought tears to my eyes watching everything come together. Many of us dream of helping Martin is some way, and today you became the everyman hero. You have done us proud, and I love how it looks installed in the MMX. Fabulous job!
Skills and talent!!!🛠🛠🛠
LooooooooooooooooooooooL
That is some beautifully elegant work. Thank you for this vital part of the MMX, it's wonderful to see the collaboration that is happening on the project.
As an engraver, when I saw you with that punch my heart sank. So glad you sent it to someone.
When did he send it?🤔
The slight wobble of the blank with a totally motionless gleaming post coming out of it like you're just brushing off the piece that was in there all along, really is an amazing sight.
The heart you put into your content is inspiring and your work is fantastic. Glad to have been sent here; keep earning those subs - you deserve it.
I know this clip is over 4 years old, but I've only just seen it, and I have to say that this is a beautiful and elegant piece of engineering. Lovely!
with this part being brass the MMX is officially steampunk
It really is interesting how the MMX really does look like it just came right out of a Steam Punk game, but has no steam coming out of anywhere.
except, it's handcrank-punk.
I mean, I'm all for adding steam to it, tho....

gearpunk, more like,,
yeah it really missed some copper and brass.
I clicked on this video because I just LOVE shiny metal parts. Ended up getting a great story and seeing a very nice part being made! The best part? I've been using those damn letter/number stamps for nearly 30 years but never knew about "rolling" them when hitting with the hammer. Thanks, and congrats on keeping alive the lost art of using your hands for other than pushing buttons!
Fantastic workmanship. Congratulations on being part of another tremendous project!
BTW, because of your video about the Musee des arts et metiers, I made a vacation to Paris just a few weeks ago and spent an entire day in that museum. You were the catalyst for an amazing milestone in my life. Thank you.
He’s other videos a lot more than this affiliation with the marble instrument, I like the craftsmanship in this video , but I like the history of engineering vids too
Beautiful. The whole shebang. The story, the craftsmanship, the finished result, just beautiful...
Can't wait to see this on the MMX! Love your channel ❤️! You do amazing videos and work. I found your channel thanks to Martin.
The size of the dividing wheel. So many options ! Beautiful !!
i'm here because of the music machine x and wintergatan wednesday but i subscribe because of the content - well done! may your collabs be ever fruitful
Same! ;)
Wow, I have so much to learn.
I'm way behind. Experts like you that are not greedy with their knowledge truly are few people with integrity.
Thank you
Came over from Wintergatan. This was exceptional. Subscribed.
Who is he? Another channel?
Some have a talent for producing content that people love to watch. Others take years to learn how, and some will wonder why they aren't more popular, all their lives.
I'm already subscribed to Wintergatan, This Old Tony, Abom79 and Clickspring.. how the £$€#"¤£$ has youtube not recommended Machine Thinking to me?!?
Anders Juel Jensen it did to me and i subbed straight away,,they get somethings right once in a while.
exactly what I was thinking, glad to have found this!
Oh how I love it when Martin mixes in some recurrent theme into a piece of music. It makes it feel as if I was watching a months long epic movie and it's building up to a insane epic showdown. This is _the_ UA-cam project, and has been since the first marble machine vid went viral.
Thank you maaan! Your new subscriber from Kazakhstan, Almaty city! :)
Heeey! I was born in country near you!!!!😍😍😍
What an incredibly satisfying video!!! I wish I had your skills!!! I am an auto mechanic by trade and a musician by passion. I found Wintergarten by accident a few months ago and was fascinated with what he had built. Now, I have learned something new!!!!! Thanks!!!!!
No videos for six months and you make this one unlisted? Why? Looking forward to more content . . . .
Wintergatam - Marble Marchine X project :)
It was published unlisted to Martin could link to it in his video. It became listed as soon as the Wintergatan video went live.
Brass is such a beautiful material. Very satisfying to watch you work it.
My shop teacher thought me that by dulling ur drill bits with a stone they will cut brass much better without pulling the work or the drill into the work
Hi @Machine Thinkine
Thank you very much for this stunning video. I follow Martin since the first Marble Machine and I am still looking forward to every wednesday for his new videos. In this process I, no, we all Wintergatan fans, were able to see a lot of wonderful videos from very talented and friendly people all around the globe.
This collaboration for something like a music instrument is in reality much, much more. It shows, that with the right idea you get a multination team which "believes" together to the MMX.
Best wishes from the north of Germany.
I subbed before 4k subs was reached, so hi there!
Nooooo way!!!! Back when he had 4,000 😍✏
looks like a lot of love and pride went into this project. that engraving is amazing.
Huh, never occurred to me to use one of those chamfering bits before. I always categorized them in the round hole department, but those cuts look very nice. Neat.
I just love this part. The design came out beautifully and it has this really important vibe to it. I also appreciate how easily and smoothly it works. Great addition to the marble machine.
Beautiful part but sure must be expensive in washers 😂
Ya that was ugly
You hear about so many bad things on the internet, and then collaborations like this come along. Suddenly the value of the internet outshines any shadows it casts like a flare.
It's itching when I saw something was so beautifully made but the number 1 dai is misaligned.
I'm certain he already saw that, no need to add salt to his wound!
@@perrydear I totally would add salt to any wound lol inclouding my own just for the sake of laughing.
A positively magical looking part. To a simple lathe guy like me, divine.
I wish my job involved complex manual machining. Im just a machine babysitter
Have been a fan of both of your channels for years, and like you watch Wintergatan Wednesdays religiously. I can't believe that you were actually the one that made this clutch! Super super cool!
dont remember subbing to this channel, but i see wintergatan in the comments so i probs came here from his channel once
First an MMX collaboration with ToT and now MT! Yes please!!! That dividing head though!! What a beast! Been subbed since before the rise in October. Great content!
How did you attach the springs?
And why all the washers???
I think the washers are temporary shims. Those bolts are long enough to go through another piece of material as they are what will hold the clutch onto whatever it's attaching to. Maybe.
Or maybe he just didn't have the right length of bolt and had to use longer ones...
@@pstrap1311 "Those bolts are long enough to go through another piece of material as they are what will hold the clutch onto whatever it's attaching to"
Yup.
Yeah, he probably would have just made the machine screws he needed if he didn't have the right length haha.
there are few things more satisfying than a perfectly machined mechanism, with its high quality displayed by a nearly perfect reflective surface. I didn't know about this channel before, but you're definitely on my radar now.
You should make this video listed so the whole world can find it‽
Why have I never thought of running a lathe in reverse like that? Definitely the superior way to machine with one. Not just for brass but everything. Most chips go down instead of flying all over you, and if the part pulls it'll more likely be thrown down into the bed instead of up and somewhere
It looks like the line markings do not match up perfectly.
Do we all agree that this is closer to jewellry than machining ?! Awesome job !
I have the cure for cancer, but you'll have to wait for the montage to hear about that. Here's a chisel I used the other day.
I love hos the MMX is bringing people together. So much joy of creating and contributing to the project. The part came out beautiful.
It's really touching how much this project mattered to you, it really feels like the Marble Machine X is a passion project through and through for everyone invovled and I can't wait to see it completed.
watching someone as talented as this create something out of nothing but raw materials is awesome it takes a truly talented person to do this
A big applause for the excellent work !!! Thank you for contributing to the creation of Marble Machine X!
Your channel exploded so fast! I remember seeing one of your videos (and subscribing) and thinking "this guy is doing really well for a channel with 3000 subscribers". I revisited a few days later thinking I was going to offer you some words of encouragement about perseverance and you had blown way past me and up into the 75K range. Keep up the awesome work!
Oh, gosh, I have a small workshop, with lathe, linisher, band saw, pillar drill. But I simply could not make anything so brilliant as this. I'm pleased that it went to Martin, he must have been so happy, singing a song while bathing in a million marbles!
A bolt with a washer through the middle of the rotary table will keep the part in place (if the rotary table is threaded in the middle). I don't like drilling holes if the part isn't secure (you know what happens, haha!).
Thanks for this video, I've only been working in a machine shop for a year and your video has given me a lot to think about :)
What a beautiful build, all Old School no CNC . . .even the engraving. Great use of your talent, I'm pleased to have witnessed the build.
It's incredible how much it actually takes to learn the ins and outs of simple things.
Helpful hint time - when drilling brass I have found after years of experience (pulling out of vice) if you grind a slight positive rake angel on the drill it will stop it from lifting your job up. As it will still cut but you have to apply a little bit of pressure and the positive rake will stop it digging in :)
It does seem that all good people are coming together for this! You seem to be a humble human being! Bravo!
Whoa. What an absolutely magnificent piece of craftmanship.
honestly, the highly polished look with the worn sharpie, looks good on the part!
There's just something so satisfying about seeing a beautifully finished piece of brass. Guess I'll have to stick around and see whats next :)
Love the backstory and the process of this part :) it's amazing how things line up sometimes! Great job!
This is truly the convergence of art, science & thinking. Love the exquisite work!
amazing craftsmanship. I love watching these kind of videos where the people are truely gifted at what they do and enjoy doing that gift so much. A pleasure to watch :)
I can not stress enough how symbolic this build is to how the internet works. Look at what we can create together
This design is amazing, such a compact and elegant design to perform a small movement! Dog clutches (without the slack in this case) are amazing devices, reminds me of a synchromesh, but without the friction part.
I like how it is not CNC perfect. Has that rustic look. It's like hand cut fries. Just tastes better knowing that someone poured their heart into it.
Looks wonderful. The engraving of the numbers sets it off and will suit the marble machine to a T.
"Not terrible but no great" i see you're a man of culture too. Great video, awesome montage. Cheers.
for making the marks black, it's traditional to use bitumen of Judea, it's applied by dissolving it on alcohol and let the spirit dry. It's a fine finishing.
Absolutely beautiful.
Definitely the single most beautiful part of the Marble machine X!
Synchronicity in its purest self, ironically.
A Fantastic piece of video. 🤙🏻
Purposely dulling or known as "brassing off" a drill bit will help avoid the self feeding, specifically with softer material. As always beautiful work, thank you!
