It's been a year like no other folks, so its definitely time for a chill out vid. Do please enjoy this '1000 hours' style mega edit of the Byzantine Sundial Calendar project.
Without doubt, I have never felt more relaxed than watching this 27 minutes sail by.
Thank you for tuning in, have a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year, and I'll catch you all in 2021.
Cheers,
Chris.

Build info: The build is a modernised interpretation of the original sundial-calendar artefact currently located in the London Science Museum www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/ . The original artefact is currently regarded as the second oldest geared mechanism on the historical record (after the Antikythera Mechanism), and is loosely dated to around 500AD.
As the name suggests, it's a combination portable sundial and lunar calendar mechanism. In addition to being a portable sundial, it computes the current age and phase of the moon, the position of the sun and moon in the zodiac, as well as the current date. I've extended the original design to include a Lunar Node display, according to the research of the engineering historian Michael Wright. This transforms the device from a simple calendar into a very effective eclipse prediction machine. It also makes it a great tool to help visualise the celestial mechanics behind an eclipse.
Original Device: collection.sciencemuseumgroup...

Imagine taking it back in time, to the original team of people who made it, after they heard it was lost at sea in a shipwreck. Show them the photos and x-rays of the eroded original find, and show them they used ultra-modern techniques to try to find out what it was and how it worked, and then one man used ancient techniques to re-manufacture it. Seeing how accurately it has been reproduced would be mind-blowing to them, and if we're honest - much like a restored car is much better than it left the factory, I feel confident the original workers would be shocked at how precise Chris's work is, and that it is superior to their own.

In this case, he who is an Artist by that quote is also a Craftsman and a Laborer. Clickspring is an Artist, since he puts his Heart into all he does, and he's a master Craftsman to be able to do so by using his Head to make it all come together, and he is a Laborer by using his Hands to put in over a _thousand_ hours into this amazing mechanical device. Clickspring is an Artist, a Craftsman and a Laborer, he embodies the ideals of all three titles. You could probably call him a Mechanical Artisanal Craftsman. Edit: Swapped Artisan for Artisanal since the latter is the adjective form of the former.

That's kind of how it used to be back in the day, but then only the upper class could afford anything life changing. True progress for humanity only comes when essentials are available and accessible to everyone even at lower quality levels - clocks, calculators, computers, washing machines, transportation, and so on.

@aterack833 3 жыл бұрын

@@rafflesmaos the problem comes when things are also available at too low of a quality level and even price doesn’t help you know which is which, especially tools and replacement parts (for almost anything now even), and it only gets a step worse when that then becomes all that’s available in your area below the really really expensive stuff, just watch my bearing removal video

"That's so cool that you make your own screws instead of just buying them from the store." Chris: "Wait, you can just buy these?!" Seriously though, it's absolutely amazing how much time and care you put into everything you do. The number of processes you go through just to make a screw is incredible.

Some things you make look easy(accurate fits, locations, layouts) which in reality are not easy, and some things look just as difficult as I'm sure they are. The handwork is amazing to me.

When I was younger I was making model steam engine for boat from 1/2 CI to 10 CI 1 to 4 cylinders , all very well made , no scratches and most was made only with brass , copper and titanium , I even made some that was running on very high pressure steam for racing , the problem is you work 1700 hours on an racing engine and the people’s think they will afford it for 75 $ .

8:50 i'm having to stop the video and explain to all my friends who aren't engineers why what's being done with the tool to mark out the spacing of the gears is so extra and so important because it allows for them to be perfectly spaced so that they move freely with minimal backlash. Also, I love the casting, it's the best brass casting on youtube.
