You know you're a master artisan when people can ask you to do museum level reconstructions, and you can do it flawlessly, without actually knowing what it does beyond make lines lmao. Seriously though great work and glad you are getting the renown you deserve
Thank you my friend!
So what does it do??
"'Can you make this mechanism?' they asked. I started laughing
'Accurately,' they continued. I stopped laughing."
"Have you heard of Clickspring?"
Yes these were lines in the video thank you for transcribing them
I came, I snorted laughter, I stayed for the whole video.
Gold statement by Uri
"the mathematical universe... which is ...
...the actual universe"
Best line!
I agree, right up there with "Have you heard of Clickspring?" Haha
Yes,I agree.. and in a long Winternight after a long Summerday
I see, you have fun to work with materiel like this. That's great.👍
the universe neither knows of or cares about maths, it's a tool invented by man to incompletely describe and model some aspects of it.
@@axeman2638 ok grandpa
"Get me Clickspring! Wait, he takes how long to finish a project? Damn, if only there were some kind of.. Budget Clickspring".
*Uri Tuchman bursts through the wall, into the wrong room*
Lmao. Isn't he hilarious
The main differense is that Uri could achieve the same things without any of all those expensive machining tools.
(And The machines he are using fit's the theme very well, i realy love the old late for example.)
@@sheep1ewe That seems a little unfair on Clickspring. He certainly has the machine tools and knows how to use them, but given that he also not only hand files gears but makes the files for it, it's certainly not that he "couldn't" do it without the machine tools.
@@fnordfnordsson4385 Yes, maybe my joke was a bit too far, i hawe the deepest respect for Cris and i watch every single video he made public.
Antikythera year 5... "This year we make the worlds not perfect screw by hand filing a 40kg block of forged steel down to a 2mm screw"
I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to stain the wheel thingie with ink, that’s why it’s removable.
That makes sense. Good catch.
Sundays with Uri - perfect day
Laughed out loud at “have you heard of Clickspring”
Love this channel and Clickspring.
Me too!
A beautiful reconstruction Uri. Now if we only had a tame mathematician... Oh wait! Matt Parker or Hannah Fry would be able to explain this.
If he made it not quite accurately but very nice looking, would that be a Parker Curve?
I think this is the curve where if you drop a ball on each side they connect in the middle regardless where on the curve you drop them and even if you drop them from different heights.
It probably has a name but I can't remember.
“It’s not perfect, but it’s me.”….
That is what makes it perfect.
I live literally 20min away of this museum, already visited it 3 times and its really cool ! I'm pretty excited to go see your builds when they will be on display ^^
The most impressive thing about Uri is that he compresses days, weeks of work even, down to 14 minutes and has yet to cut his ear off.
the homage to clickspring was genius! haha
I love the perfect fit of the frame inside the two rails and how smoothly it glides over the wooden surface. Wonderful reconstruction
I don’t know why it’s taking me so long to say this but here it goes. You are by far my favorite UA-cam channel. PS I love you.
He's definitely one of my favorites as well. I love the goofiness, makes him real and not pretending to be someone else.
We all make mistakes. it’s when we learn from them, thats what matters the most, not the mistakes themselves.
😳
My channel is built on mistakes!!
I think it's because you typed "I don’t know why it’s taking me so long to say this but here it goes". That's why it took so long
"Have you heard of clickspring"
"We have but we are short on time and funds"
"Say no more I Wil build you a stunning beautiful and accurate-ish reconstruction"
"Have you heard of Clickspring?"
I chortled.
We all chortled.
I laughed
Some of us guffawed.
I sniggered
I giggled. It made me doubt my masculinity, but there it is.
One of the best video intro's i've heard :D
"on a cold winter night, after a long summer day"... "have you heard of Clickspring?", LOL
Great build! No idea why mathematicians would get all googly over drawing a curve, but if they're happy with it....
I think its the "golden ratio"
@@jonpierce8342 they want to draw eyebrows?
@studer1679 no, I have a feeling the next one will be a tractrix. This one is a logarithm, Im not sure but I have a feeling choosing the length determines the base of the log you draw. They were used to solve equations graphically.
The mechanism somewhat dupcates the Logrithmic or Exponental curve which have a unique relationship betwenn X and Y which no other method of free hand drawing or tracing can duplicate. It may sound irrelevant now, however consider the time in which it was designed. No one had ever seen a true Log or Exponential curve at this point, they were approximated however no accurate representation was ever demonstrated. We take a lot for granted in our digital time, just look at a slide rule demonstration video. It is likely that anye reading this has a parent, grandparent, or relative that had to use them in school/life
"In 1728 the Italian scholar Poleni took up the theme again. He designed a tractional instrument (see Plate 10 [this mechanism]) and sent copies of it to three colleagues. In his covering letter he argued, again, that by means of his instrument the problem of the *quadrature [area] of the hyperbola* was now for the first time solved in a geometrically acceptable manner" www.gewina.nl/journals/tractrix/bos89.pdf
It seems the context of this device is the ancient topic of Euclidean geometry, about whether things can be constructed with the most basic physical tools, (straightedge and compass) rather than by arithmetic. These devices construct transcendental curves without arithmetic, but they're still not a straightedge and compass, so some 18th century controversy perhaps. Or as that article so nearly puts it, "The motif of tractional motion as mechanical legitimation of transcendental curves"
Uri, I love your ability to make complicated machines with simple hand tools. And that you don't take yourself too seriously! Thanks
Same
Reminds me of my love of Vaucanson’s lathe in the Paris arts and sciences museum. 1751 first lathe to feature angled ways and solid frame. I hope to eventually visit and see it in person. The video from Machine Learning called ‘The Machine that made everything’ is amazing.
Oh that was a great video, I come back to see it every now and then
I believe you meant "Machine Thinking"... :)
Uri is asked to build some beautiful doohickey thing and at the end is like "hm, so that's what it does."
A beautiful machine. So they ONLY wanted 'Uri Tuchman level accuracy'? Fortunate they bumped into you when they did 😉
This intro almost sounds like an alien pretending to be human writing a memoir.
Yes, or AI
Oh it _does_
Whenever I watch you work, I have to resist the urge to buy brass and engrave something.
Then do it
@@andyb7963 I did it! I found a Buck 110 with brass bolsters and i did some terrible engraving with a dremel, but i did it. 😁
I live in Brest !! Can’t wait to see your beautiful piece of art.
“A long time ago on a cold winter night after a long summer day”
Me: oh this is gonna be good.
Poleni was a venitian mathemathician, astronomer, physicist,... genious. This contraption is to draw a logarithmic curve.
That's what I was looking for
What is that?
@@timsmith1589 it is a curve representing a logarithmic progression, reverse of an exponential progression.
Uri Tuchman deserves to be preserved for posterity
Absolutely beautiful Uri.
At first I thought the device was an overly elaborate method of tracing one quadrant of an ellipse. I'm glad I read the paper now. It is in fact a logarithmic curve. Fascinating.
Oh, and that intro was captivating, and just too funny. Thanks.
Was wondering wich one it was. Thanks.
Beautiful work as always, Uri. Thanks for the video!
Always a Pleasure Uri.
thank you .👍🏻
Love this channel. Keep it up Uri
Those are the prettiest wing nuts I have ever seen. Seriously. Lovely AND functional!
Most excellent. Thank You Uri Tuchman.
Beautiful, very nice job as always.
More beautiful machines, thank you for sharing your work.

Gorgeous work. thank you for all the effort.
Loved the video, thanks for sharing!
Amazing work love to see your creations
fantastic Uri, a great video.
Thank you, just beautiful.
Fantastic job on this project
Exquisite work, as always.
Perfect, Uri, perfect.
One fine morning in the middle of the night...! Gorgeous contraption!
Wonderful video, yet again
It's always a pleasure to watch you work Uri! Keep up the great work and may you continue to hone your skills as a master craftsman for many years to come.
Finally he returns. So much to love, as ever.
Man this just continues to impress. Thank you so much!
Beautiful. I love your humor. It's good to see you working in your new shop. Congratulations 🎉👏
Great to see you making things again
Wonderful job and great that your work is now in a museum!
Love you videos, thanks for sharing!
Thank you Uri! Wonderful craftsmanship here. Great video. Hilarious opener.
your level of detail and use of mostly hand tools to create your creations is truly amazing!
Cool project. All that hand work is amazing.
Amazing work and skill. Well done
Amazing work.
Couldn't figure out what I was missing until your videos were put up. Thank you, URI.
Oh, how I have missed you! Glad to see you are well and creating content! Thank you, Uri!
you made a great ingenious, eeeh thing .
that line is really amazing...
thank you mr. Tuchman it was a pleasure as always....
Your workshop is beautiful it is so organized and tidy. This machine is very interesting.You made this difficult build look easy.Thank you for the video
Thank sir, I was waiting since long time for your video.
Beautiful work, as usual.
Your sense of "ha ha" is always appreciated, as well.
Uri, That's is fantastic as always.
Great intro -raised a few smiles.
Your videos always delight Uri. I listened to a podcaster interviewing you a few years back and have ended up listening a few more times and sharing with sons- both subscribers - as well as some friends. You're, without doubt, one of the most interesting and talented people on UA-cam.
As always incredibly inspiring and skilful work. Thanks for sharing and, as far as I know, being you.
You just made my day. A long time ago, on a cold WINTERS night after a long SUMMERS day......I suppose Europe does have funny weather
This is a delightful video! 👍
I love it. ❤️
Thank you.
Thanks for another finely crafted mechanism done with wit and humility.
Amazing craftsmanship, a pleasure to watch. Many thanks wonderful Video
Nicely done!
Whoever built this in the 17th century must have used approximately the same tools and techniques.
Great to see you working in your new shop! :)
Oh! How ingenious! And your rendition of it looks pretty classy in my opinion! I enjoy seeing your craftsmanship.
I love your videos so much, your creativity, humour, passion for oldies make it perfect for me !
I'm very glad your talent is recognized my friend !
Cheers from France :)
TA-DA!!! Beautiful! Great work Uri and if I ever get to that museum I'll look for it!
Missed you man! This was just what we needed!
Very beautifully executed, Mr Tuchman 👍
Amazing job.
I am learning a lot from your videos, and this video may well be the most useful I've watched on your channel so far. Thanks, Uri. Amazing work.
Congratulations! I'm not surprised that the museum came to you. Looking forward to the next one.
What an exciting project!!
That is a beautiful piece made by a marvellous craftsman. Thank you for your videos, you are a true inspiration.
Amazing device you made there! Really amazing craftsmanship - and quite a lot of effort - the result is a really elegant piece of equipment as always! Thank you for sharing this!
What an amazing thing to be asked to do! Im so happy for you. Also i love how shinny that is
Good to see you back in action Uri 💪🏻
Thank you, great detail and well told.
Great work!
Truly only a master craftsman and artist could create something that beautiful. Bravo URI you're the best!
Good to watch as usual keep it up !!!!!
Another outstanding Video.
I love the new shop. Keep doing this awesome work. Greetings from Brazil!
Looks class Uri
Loved it!
