In the tradition of "A Fistful of Tools" and "For a Few Tools More" comes "The Good, The Bad and The Oiler" - Please Enjoy! btw The actual tool made in the video will be up for auction for the Make-A-Wish Foundation (www.makeawish.org.au). So if you reckon this one belongs on your bench, then be sure to put in a bid and help me raise some money for a terrific organisation. The auction can be found here: www.ebay.com/itm/264236625663
As if you needed to be any more awesome. This video was amazing, as per usual, but your wholesomeness in auctioning off the item charity is the cherry on top. Legend.
Well, looks like now it's time for This Old Tony to start recreating antique mechanisms, because this was one big step towards claiming his position as #1 machinist-turned-feature-film-director
For the aluminium tumbleweeds alone, you deserve a like. The rest of he intro makes it a Favorite, and the rest of the video... Well, TH-cam didn't include a button powerful enough to honor it sufficiently. Brilliant, as everything else off your channel is. Thank you very, very much!
Chris, when you finally put it together for the first time. How slow each part moved right into place, was completely incredible. Thanks for sharing this I had no clue this was even a thing! Great job
Okay, this needs to stop. I can only handle so much high production value. What's next a full feature cinematic release in technicolor of the Mechanical Turk? Won't somone please think of the children!?? D:
Mechanical Turk? That's a rather interesting idea. Since Clickspring has a bit of a reputation making old mechanisms using theoretically plausible tools. Think it might be possible to encourage Clickspring to make a reproduction of the Mechanical Turk?
My grandfather was a watch and clock repairman. He passed away when I was pretty young so I didn't have a chance to learn much from him. He purchased a business of an older guy he worked for in the 50s, so he started off pretty well with a lot of original new parts. My mom held onto the majority of things in case I ever wanted to use them and I'm glad she did - a few watch makers lathes, a ton of tiny tools. Millions of parts tiny gears, crystals, springs, new from different companies. Still in original packaging from years ago. - There are a ton of items that I have no idea what they are or how they are used. Not only that but if they happen to have some sort of label on the box they're in, often not much comes up online for them either. I love watching these videos because I can see the actual use of the parts. There are a bunch of tiny oilers with ruby inserts. Small little wooden ones, some stacking, a lot of them. I had no idea that it what they were used for until I watched this. I'm slowly trying to organize everything, and get one of the lathes setup properly so I can use it. Every time I watch one of these videos it makes me want to go dig around in the tool bin and figure more stuff out.
He uploads all the time on the pateron page from what i hear, I'll be honest, the production value of his videos are well worth it tho, as soon as i can I'll be joining myself
And now, when I have barely got used to the superb quality of your productions, you come with this. You, Sir, are seriously spoiling your viewers, turning us into TH-cam connoisseurs. What else are we going to watch? Please, do not stop.
i can't even begin to express the sheer wonder I get watching any of your video's Chris, even making something like an oiler, its not just an oiler it's a work of art, the way the parts slid together so slowly and smoothly when stacked was a joy to watch, the accuracy with which you make things always astonishes me, I've said it before but its worth repeating, you are a master of your craft mate and I thank the TH-cam gods for giving us mere mortals the chance to sit at the shoulder of an amazing machinist and watch him turn pieces of steel and brass into beautiful tools, clocks or ancient mechanical devices, thank you!
The sheer effortless diligence Chris shows in all his work is so admirable. Everything is clean,tidy and well organised. The same can be seen in the production quality of his videos. They get more effort poured into them than most TV shows do
Ok, we know you are a master craftsman, but when you assembled the unit and let each part settle onto the other and they slowly fell into place as the air escaped, you were SHOWING OFF! Keep it up! Man, I love your videos. Thanks so much.
Hey Chris! I am seeing a lot of people waiting here for a new video. It's not a surprise as they are great, but I just wanted to tell you not to feel pressurized into anything. I know that a lot of content creators often feel bad and depressed when they can't keep up with fans "demands", so just remember to put your life first. I love your work and it is worth as much wait time as you feel is needed!
So we have Lock Picking Lawyer, Hand Tool Rescue, Alec Steele, Wintergatan and This Old Tony in the comments, and a video by Clickspring, now I ask you, how could this get any better?
This video's content is, once again, amazing. The different oiler segments settling seemingly in slow motion was particulary satisfying. As for the intro, I thought that I might have stepped into a This Old Tony production (which is meant as high praise), and given that I am very fond of Sergio Leone's movies, I thoroughly approve.
Mate, you are a true master that takes value in the smallest things you make, even your tools. It's always a pleasure watching your videos and picking up on you discipline and workmanship.
There are tons of videos of real craftsman making cool things out of metal on TH-cam but the professionalism that goes on with some of these blows my mind. I watch in awe how these come together. The detail in the work is equally done with the video production and separates these few people above the rest. Keep the work coming.
Usually these videos are so relaxing; I’ve never yelled at TH-cam like that before. From a few years’ experience working in a tiny clock shop in Connecticut (actually, it was a “shoppe”) I learned that customers caught having lubricated their clock’s movements with WD-40 or graphite earned themselves an extra charge since we had to replace the ammonia in the ultrasonic bath.
Fine workmanship at its best!! How satisfying was that at the end where the parts where placed on top of one another and they slowly seat themselves perfectly.
I just can't comprehend the quality that is put into making these videos. Truly outstanding. You made me invest a few hours more into my February video that is long overdue and just try some compositing myself. I love the composting shot you do with the CAD render overlayed over the untouched material. I will steal this idea for a 3D printing video.
"an excellent weekend lathe project" - it would take me several years... just to recover from the first fistful of swarf I inhaled. Your work Mr Clickspring is the envy of many, and the dreams of the remaining. Your video editing and style has improved with each video and is just out of this world, and the fact you upload it to youtube for us to enjoy is truely a gift to humanity.
I have two types of lubricants in my workshop. Sewing machine oil and general purpose grease. The sewing machine oil is perfect for most applications. It is very cheap, easy to clean, does not stick and it doesn’t oxidise.
I spend my life - well a part of it - telling site managers that WD is not the thing to spray on hinges and that what they really need is a can of 3 in 1 or similar. I tend to use duck oil for applications as it contains more oil and less solvent - mainly cleaning and protecting tools and equipment. You do some amazing work I love the way your filled parts just click together - Respect!
Thank you Chris. I just bought a copy of the namesake movie yesterday. You should have ToT and AvE on this with you. I'll let you three argue over who gets which character roll. :) Cheers.
Oh my goodness. It is soo satisfying to watch your work pieces coming out of the stock materials. But even more satisfying is watching the ever so slightly sliding together of the parts in the assembly part of the Video.
You sir are a joy to watch. I would thouroghly enjoy hanging out in your shop with you creating things and picking your brain.. Thank you for sharing. Cheers
Utterly masterful as always. After wiring up a VFD, I switched on my first lathe last night and cut my first ever chips. Stuff like this gives me something to aspire to as I learn.
I bet you had fun editing this piece. It certainly was fun to watch. I loved the Sergio-Leoni-esque titles. Well done Chris. You deserve a Streamy Award!
This is lovely and have thought about building one over the years but have to confess that in my own shop I use nail dotting tools from the dollar store along with a bottle cap.
That final shot where you where stacking it together and the pieces just slid together on their own with just the right amount of friction was down right amazing. Great work as always!
OMG you are like the guy who always brings his missus flowers! Your attention to detail is (literally) eye watering and leaves most of us in the dust in terms of patience levels - thus making us look 'not as good'!!! And thats just this oiler! The clock work you do is at a whole other level again! All power to you my friend! Seriously, watching this stuff come to life by your hand is a joy.
The production of every single of Chris' videos has always absolutely astounded me, every time I've gotten a notification for one of his videos i practically drop whatever I'm doing at the time just to watch them. love these videos and always will!!
Today a man from half way around the world taught me about a watch company that was started in my hometown of Springfield, IL. The internet is a strange and wonderful place.
Chris, not only am I a huge Sergio Leone fan, but a Chris Clickspring fan. Your videos and the work you put into them is truly awe inspiring. I won't even go into your skill and artistry. Thank you. Amazing stuff. Very proud to be a sponsor and I hope many more will follow.
@Bill Carson I think the red colour of the ruby is prefered because of visual contrast with any small oil contaminant allows you to know when it's time to clean out the cup and put in a new batch.
Yay! Been getting you in my recommended recently so rewatched a whole bunch of your videos I'd already seen. Was hoping a new vid would be coming out soon.
Your work is ridiculously good on so many levels, Chris. Machining, teaching, presentation, editing... honestly, you inspire at every level. Thank you for sharing, and thank you to your family for sharing you with us! With the time and effort that goes into this level of excellence, it is likely they who are making the deepest sacrifices. I for one don't mind the wait between your uploads as it affords you the time to spend with those that matter.
Several points 1) WD-40, AKA Work Destroyer 40. The ideal way to much up just about anything 2) Large Radii with form tools. Often it s a good idea to remove material with some form of relieving tool first. As the material becomes tougher. The Radii or form bigger. The more this becomes needed. 3) One problem with form tools I've seen is that with flimsy set-ups is a tendency of the work to climb up over the tool due to the work grabbing. Stiff set-ups, low speeds, and materials that need it cutting fluids. 4) And finally a question. All we ever see of Clickspring is his hands. All we ever see of This Old Tony is his hands. Maybe Clickspring has a really good Yank accent. Or TOT has a great Oz accent. Are Clickspring and This Old Tony one in the same? One ponders these great questions of existential importance.
Ok...that is SICK...Chris you never cease to amaze me with your work. You make this look easy, and we all know this takes hours and hours of work. AWESOME WORK AS ALWAYS!!!!!!!
Chris used his lathe to go back in time and check a few measurements on the original Antikythera mechanism, however he overshot by many months on the return journey. I told him that little Sherline Lathe was underpowered for such a long jump, but he never listens.
There's something very captivating about your videos. It transports the viewer to a more traditional time. It somehow gives me a nostalgia for a time I never lived in - romanticized version of the past.
You forget to mention it also looks very very nice!! Thank you for showing what can be done by hand with some (a lot) creativity, imagination, intelligence and endurance..
In the tradition of "A Fistful of Tools" and "For a Few Tools More" comes "The Good, The Bad and The Oiler" - Please Enjoy!

You should try making bad videos.

Too much work to make bad videos at this point

Not a single tangent in the whole 13 minutes. I think TOT is safe...
TOT is already referencing to Chris and right he is.
Not comedian though...

but i think they were from alluminium
Only on Clickspring will you learn that there IS such a thing as precision oiling. So mesmerizing AND educative. Thanks again!
Incredible build! I loved the tumbleweeds.
Tumbleswarf.
When those pieces slid together and drifted into place. Oh man, that's one of the most satisfying things to watch.
It has been months since you posted anything, is everything ok?
I do hope everything is fine and hope to hear from you soon

The moment you assembled the parts and they slipped together slowly and perfectly - so satisfying...
Down here in Australia our 3 most important exports are Iron ore, Gold and Clickspring videos.

That is why he needed the oiler. 😄
@@Scott_C right. Gotta lube with something
I'm torn. They are both great channels.
A real master. Every single thing he makes looks perfect. A really good fit too as evidenced by the slow dropping during assembly.
Mate, you are a true master that takes value in the smallest things you make, even your tools.
It's always a pleasure watching your videos and picking up on you discipline and workmanship.
I remember the oil that came w the family old Victorian Singer Sewing machine. And the unique tools. Wonderful craftsmanship.

Thank you very much!!
Awsome! As always! Your channel deserve ten times more subscribers!
New clickspring video in my feed= instant thumbs up. I didn't need to watch it first I just knew it would be just incredible quality. Thanks Chris.
If making film is your actual passion, after watching you make a clock I imagine the best western this side of Clint Eastwood would be produced.
That final shot where you where stacking it together and the pieces just slid together on their own with just the right amount of friction was down right amazing. Great work as always!

What benefit is there in using a ruby disk as the oil well, instead of just cutting the well directly into the oiler?
@@Clickspring Awesome, thanks!
Is there a problem using a softer material for the nib?
@Bill Carson I think the red colour of the ruby is prefered because of visual contrast with any small oil contaminant allows you to know when it's time to clean out the cup and put in a new batch.
@Bill Carson Granite is pourus and would absorb oil.
You sir are an artist, thanks for your work.
Where did you go? I know videos take a while to make but now I’m worried!
Absolutely beautiful work coupled with amazing cinematography makes for a masterclass in home shop machining. Well done!
Amazing as always Chris. Loved the Opening. Very creative.

wd-40 and braclean are great PRE-lubricants. Use them to remove dust and grime and bad oil before dabbing on the good stuff.
