"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*
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.
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 ^^
"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"
@@andypughtube Nah, you're good. I got a case of the giggles a couple of weeks ago... my lovely wife made some comment, which hit me in just right way. I was a lost cause for the remainder of the evening. She considered me with mild askance for the next few days, but she knows that I'm essentially harmless.
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.
@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"
www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/sites/default/files/2020-09/Milici-Poleni%27s-instruments.pdf This is quite useful. It shows Poleni's 2 mechanisms; this tractrix and the slightly different one for drawing log curves which is probably Uri's next project. It's also got some links to some videos of prototypes from the University of Brest, but both links go to the log mechanism. ubotube.univ-brest.fr/videostream/video/polenilogarithmic/
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.
What a absolute pleasure it is to watch a craftsman at his work. Just beautI fully and detailed work. U are a true craftsman and artist. Thanku so much for sharing your amazing talent..😆
I love your "projects" and look forward to each new one like a child waiting anxiously to get his hands on a new toy. You are in a class all your own. One of the most talented persons I have ever seen. I thought I was a most talented fabricator leaning on 60 years of learning and making "things" with my hands. But I bow before you. I am but a tinkerer in comparison. Your hands and mind have been blessed and yet you are most humble and simple. God bless you and thank you for sharing with us all.
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.
The best part of your work is just being done manually and small parts with a machine, and that's what values and differentiates your projects, very good to watch.
Based on the quality of your workmanship, I can understand why a museum would seek your help. You sir are a master craftsmen, keep up the great work and congratulations on the new shop.
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
Bravo! I'm living in Texas and just found this channel. I just love to watch folks with skill, performing at a level that someday I may attain. But first my wife needs kitchen cabinets!
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 :)
1 - Awesome Job! 2 - You should also bring them the Weirdest Calipers to put on display. Everyone would love to see it. Fantastic Job of it! (They can buy - you don't have to give (if you don't want to))
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.
Uri you are such a good craftsman that no wonder Museums and Mathematicians alike are seeking your talents. You are also such an inspiration to the likes of my humble works. Keep ON! My best to your wife, and youngling and your cats. Cheers
This is the sort of thing for which I have subscribed to your channel. I do 18th century woodworking so I am aware of the sort of technology that was available then. You were the best choice for this project I think. Other than the source of power for the tools and machinery, the methods you have used are, most likely, very close to the way this mechanism would have been made back then. Hope you had fun.
Awesome work! Given the way this mechanism work, I'm pretty sure it's designed to draw a “simple” asymptotic function (pretty sure it's 1/x) depending on the angle you start off at different points of the function's curve and the difference of the carriage to the swiveling center scales the size of the drawn function.
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.
You are one of a kind, and I loved the video! What an honor to make a museum piece! I was glad to see your lathe in use. I will be building one similar to it at some point and can't wait to do so. Thanks for the wonderful video, and all those to come!
I enjoy your videos so much. I hope you like your new shop, you look right at home, just don't have your cats joining in the fun lol. Can't wait to see what you make next, thanks for always making my day with your videos. God bless
"'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

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.👍

Love this channel and Clickspring.
Me too!
Sundays with Uri - perfect day
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.
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.
Yeah, I was gonna recommend running it across a stamp pad a few times to load it up.
“It’s not perfect, but it’s me.”….
That is what makes it perfect.

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
the homage to clickspring was genius! haha
Nicely done!
Whoever built this in the 17th century must have used approximately the same tools and techniques.
"Have you heard of Clickspring?"
I chortled.
I laughed
Some of us guffawed.

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
Extremely entertaining to watch an old world craftsman. Truly a Renaissance man in every sense…

Oh that was a great video, I come back to see it every now and then
I believe you meant "Machine Thinking"... :)
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"

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.
@@chrissibersky4617 It's a tractrix.
Finding a house broken and trained mathematician is hard these days; they’re all running wild and feral on the prairies.
You just KNOW there was 1 dude who watches your videos in that museum staff, who suggested Uri Tuchman immediately when they got the chance
Acoustic horns following this tractix contour have smoothest impedance matching! It is a beautiful curve indeed.
One fine morning in the middle of the night...! Gorgeous contraption!
I love the perfect fit of the frame inside the two rails and how smoothly it glides over the wooden surface. Wonderful reconstruction
I live in Brest !! Can’t wait to see your beautiful piece of art.
I think that looks wonderful!
The Clickspring comment was great!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

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.
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.
