Wine, wax, woad and yes, There Will Be Blood... all in an effort to discover the best ancient marking fluid. And I'll let you decide how the blood supply issue might have been dealt with in the ancient shop - I'm guessing it might not have been much fun being the apprentice on the day the large dial was marked out!

Antikythera Fragment #8 - Layout Line Visibility, by Clickspring. - บันเทิง
using your own blood for layout fluid has got to be the toughest thing I've ever seen; stuff of legends!
parents will recount this to their children for generations.
as always, extraordinary detective skills.
This Old Tony still thinking about the ringleader in the tub here!
Funnily enough, I thought of you when he used blood!
That is so metal
We used to use apprenticeblood. But HR has frowned uppon that.
TOT i thought you used blood too, i´ve seen you cover some work pieces with your blood.... wait? that wasn´t suppose to happen? ;)
And the winner of 2018's most unusual shopping cart goes to...
I for one like to pretend that you just happened to have all these materials laying around your workshop.
“Squid ink, hm. Oh right! Next to the woad!”
I read that in an Adam Savage voice haha
Trent Pierce for some reason I did too, but I didn’t realize until i read your comment
You do know he has a Time Machine, that's how he gets all his very accurate techniques & layout recipes.
I was just taking my first sip of Tea - couldn't quite get it all down.
@slypig24 Those 2 rascals and their time machine, eh?
Thank you for all of the excellent suggestions folks, it was a blast checking them out - lots more testing to come over the next few videos in the main series as I get stuck into the engraving - Please enjoy :)
I love this series. I do wonder if this sidetracking is a little bit excessive in the grand scheme of things - it's not like Dykem would be seen once the project is completely finished.
Awesome breakdown Chris .. Thanks again..
@rjk The whole point is to see just how hard it would be to use period techniques and materials. Doing it all with modern machines and materials way would be much easier - and wouldn't be visible either. But that defeats the intent of the exercise.
So cool of you to collaborate like that. You are a shiney example, thank you!
I see blood as a very valid option thouhg it probably wasn't human, goat, chicken or pigs blood would of be readily available and thanks for all the videos they are one of the things that has gotten me interested in machining
That Engraving test was so beautiful. Being a test piece made it almost even better somehow. Thanks for this series!!
Thank you Martin :)
Clickspring Yeah that’s a lot of work for just a test
Holy snek its martin...gotta say you got me into making mechanisms so thank you
14:23 Worst omelette ever...
I never enjoyed watching paint dry more! Fascinating, and I just love your dedication
It appears at least 6,600 other people, including me, agree with you.
Also try enjoying drying paint under a microscope by Sixty Symbols. th-cam.com/video/OW5wB8rJ8Zc/w-d-xo.html
Today on Clickspring we're making Dykem.
Paging Alec Steele.
Mr. Steele your dream video is ready.
Blooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Dykem! (I think that's the right lyrics)
"Remember kids, the only difference between screwing around and Science, is writing it all down!"
But seriously, you're finding excellent materials for filling in engravings as you mentioned, not just for marking for cutting/drilling. This is awesome, and inspiring!
"Come in off the ledge!"
"Why?!?"
"Well, there's a new Clickspring video!"
"... Sweet."
:)
This is awesome
Amen
What's amazing is not just the quality of his manufacturing skills, but also his skill at visually documenting it and narrating it so clearly. Any one of these things is an art-form in itself, but he nails all three consistently... :)
If Dykem was available during antiquity, it would have still been on the Antikythera device when found...based on how long it stays on my hands after a project.... :)
Now if it was Prussian Blue* or Prussian Red (which I haven't seen in 50+ years) it would still be there when the Sun expands onto a Red Giant
*I once had to do a map for school and my dad had a tube of Prussian Blue in the basement. Oh was I a mess. He also had Prussian Red which he got from his father.
@@mpetersen6 Very true. I've only used it a couple times years ago for valve lapping.... looking at it on my fingers now :)
I really can't believe I have access to this type of quality content FOR FREE. I'm learning so much with you. THANKS! 😄
We wrote essays from enclyopedias at the library before the internet. Now there is too much info and you can find any lie you want to believe in on there. University will not accept internet references. You must cite the original reserch. Lol academia knows the internet isn’t a reliable source.
@@camogrrl It seems entirely like you were responding to some other arrangement of words.
Holy CARP!!! Tyrian purple is 4,280.00 USD * / 1000 mg at one supplier I found!
Yep... they know their market.
Takes a huge amount of Murex snails to make just a small amount ... 8500 snails per gram
@Evi1M4chine I think when you are paying over 1USD per mg, it is not a bad idea to use mg.
Chris, you are one of the few people that can actually say you have "Blood, Sweat and Tears" in your work without exaggerating. Love your videos and very much appreciate you sharing such high quality content!
Forget pewdiepie. Lets get clickspring passed t series.
Dominick Peluso ...........what the fuq is a "pewdiepie"??
I'll hack all the ancient Greek mechanisms in the world to print out "Subscribe to Clickspring".
@@kenhukushi1637 it seems more reasonable to hack youtube to replace srart page with cluckspring's channel home
How dare you
That's an opinion on the Internet I can second!
Oh clickspring, how I've missed you so so much..
You are the only TH-cam creator who i have never skipped through a video
Honestly your craftsmanship and videos are breathtaking 👍
It's hard to wait while someone (albeit a genius) reproduces one of the most complex and least understood machines of the ancient world. It's just not a project that lends itself to frequent uploads. Unfortunately.
That's exactly why they're worth waiting for tbh
Bob Loblaw one can only dream
@@bobloblaw1720 oh I totally agree. Doesn't make waiting any easier though. Lol.
@Mike O'Barr no it doesn't but still, if everyone else put in as much effort as Mr. Chris Clickspring then by the high heavens wouldn't we have to wait.
I'm pretty sure we understand it just fine. It was a clock that matched the timing of the sun and moon and planets. So he could spin it and tell you on what day how the entire solar system would be aligned.
And its a fair guess to say it was made by Archimedes given the time.
I read about these ancient materials and compounds 40 yrs ago, somewhere, in a book, when learning to work with wood - and there was a partial translation to modern English - now to see them so clearly while in use is just miraculous. 1000 x thanks! Bless your heart!
Down votes are obviously from the ever AWOL volunteers.
Chris, very impressive tests, and way cool you took into account all of the viewer suggestions. Like Tony, was amazed at the "blood" test! I never would have thought of that.
Thank you mate!
@@Clickspring My two favourite TH-camrs.....YAY 😄
Adom we wait a video for the new radial bro!!
Chris, I’m amazed that in the short time available, you were able to research and procure a wide range of odd materials, study up on their uses & history, (presumably) practice off-camera, and then produce quality video. Are you being assisted by aliens? This is quality stuff, my cyber friend! Keep up the good work!
@@624Dudley Agreed, Chris is extremely thorough, going through all those items to find the most likely and suitable method for the job at hand......impressive.
Bye, Sharpie. There's a new highly experimental compound in town.
You...hand engraved that entire plate? Just when I think I've seen Chris do it all, he astounds me once again.
That entire *test* plate.
Blood, sweat and I hope no tears were involved into making those wonderful videos. You are a modern Hephaestus! Εύγε!
I love these moments when you try to get in the head of the original maker. It's fascinating to imagine how he overcame the challenges of the build.
Seriously, Clickspring is the best channel on TH-cam. Each video raises the bar so much higher for all other content creators.
Chris, thank you for another amazing video! Truly, you inspire me, keep up the great work!
Once in a while in the dense forests of TH-cam I come across a true gem like your channel and I feel sad. I am sad that it took me this long to know such a gold mine. Thank you, I will be regular here!
A very well expressed comment that also rings true for me.
Definitely the most fun I've had watching paint dry.
Using blood as a marking material adds a new dimension to the expression “ putting your blood into the work”
Quandry: Wants more Clickspring videos because of the amazing quality and skills involved. More frequent uploads would mean less time making Clickspring videos of such high quality. Accepts upload rate because you can't rush art.
I want more videos because they are awesome. They are awesome because of the time and care that go into each one.
Chris, you are a boost to local economies. I see the notification, and before I watch, I run to the store and buy $40 worth of junk food that I can enjoy while watching your new video! 😂😂😂
Ha ha! Terrific mate, thanks for tuning in each release :)
I'm happy to know that there are so many intelligent people that comment on your videos to give you all these great suggestions.
Our craft is an art. Clickspring you have a beautifully rare talent keep it up 👍
The painstaking dedication to the finest of details is unparalleled in anything I've ever seen. "no big deal just etched out this entire small plate with intricate detail just as an example". Simply amazing
If at all possible, from what I've seen from you, I was surprised by the quality of the hand engraved letters - so perfect it rivals with any machine, and it's just a test piece...
Blew me away too, and it really shouldn't have surprised me considering all his other incredible builds and videos.
The text was a work of art.
@@Pcat0 Absolutely!
Holy crap I didn't catch that that was a test piece. I got chills when I saw it and immediately wanted one. For what purpose I don't know...
@@JakeBiddlecome Hey, Chris: sell the test pieces!
This is "experimental archaeology" done by a master craftsman. They should hire you for archaeological digs
I never thought I would be so interested in mark out dye.
So Dykem is not one of the greek gods then?
Matt Inkel whos dykem
I believe mr Steele would disagree lol
Ben Hays who’s mr Steele
Dykem is a dye (often blue) used in metal work.
Mr Alec Steele is a TH-cam who widely uses said chemical in his metalwork.
@@jamiemahoney2446 and literally sings its praise.
you just proved that only you can make watching paint dry enjoyable.
"Hey, there's a video you should watch."
"Doubt it."
"It's about paint drying."
"Yeah, no thanks."
"It's by Clickspring."
"... I'm in."
Madness by Design "its by clickspring."
"ive already seen it but yeah I'll watch it again."
Amen. 👍
This is one of my favorite clickspring videos.
I am not qualified to even watch you work SIR. Your mastery of focus is astonishing. I have watched the watch makers sand a bridge on a ‘A Lange & Sohne’ watch and was amazed with her efforts as well. You are not the only gifted artisan HOWEVER, you are the only one that has delivered this volume of content to the masses. There is no way to thank you sufficiently nonetheless THANK YOU!
This is what the interweb was made for, inquisitive minds coming together to develop innovative solutions to problems. All the best for 2019 to Chris and everyone in the comments section 👍☺
Who are the morons who press thumb down, this is the best channel on youtube, great job Chris.
As always, the production values of your videos are head and shoulders above almost every other TH-cam Creator.
That wax and soot combo would make an ideal method of masking for acid etching as well.
The amount of effort you put into these builds and videos is immense. Thanks for spending so much time on them! That engraved test plate was a whole project in itself!
Literally giving your own blood for the sake of the video and the project... This... Is dedication... Keep it going Chris, your videos are just plain awesome and inspiring!
Aside from all the "failed" experiments, seeing all those different materials and colours and textures was great on its own :D
love the archeological approach to every step of this build, we some times take for granted how easy tooling and marking is now a days, it really puts the difficulty they had in building any thing , let alone some thing as precise and complected as this device was to make,
"ΚΑΙ ΕΜΕΙΣ ΕΥΧΑΡΙΣΤΟΥΜΕ ΓΙΑ ΑΥΤΟ ΤΟ ΒΙΝΤΕΟ " (WE ALSO THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO) Keep it up !
Absolutely amazing the amount of time he takes to do things. This is hard proof he enjoys the process. I have always said it’s the journey that counts not the destination. Enjoy every step of your chosen path.
the lettering in the end is so beautifull, truly a work of art, and you make it look so easy ha ha
I don't know how the education system works down under, but this is a PhD in Archaeology without a shadow of a doubt!!!! As for the little greek marking at the end... "Ευχαριστούμε που φτιάχνεις τα βίντεο"
To build the stunning Antikythera machine you used modern machines, engineering brass stock metals and drills with steel that I am sure weren't available to the ancient
artisans. How the hell did they do it and how many did they make?? And modify?? Clickspring is magic and you are a magician! Many thanks!! :-]
I applause your Greek engraving! At first i thought you had a stencil, but then I saw you did it freehand! Amazing, I as a Greek couldn't have done it better! Also, ΕΥΧΑΡΙΣΤΟΥΜΕ ΓΙΑ ΤΗΝ ΚΑΤΑΣΚΕΥΗ!
You kept the best and simplest for the end.... marking and then rubbing the surface makes everything easy to read.
You Sir are a dying bread, absolutely amazing!!! The attention to detail is spectacular!! Thanks for the videos!
ΕΥΧΑΡΙΣΤΩ ΠΟΥ ΠΑΡΑΚΟΛΟΥΘΗΣΑΤΕ ΤΟ ΒΙΝΤΕΟ
Ευχαριστώ - it would take me a long time to type that into Google Translate without a Greek keyboard... now I can cut 'n' paste. :)
That was cool
edgeeffect, it says:
"THANK YOU FOR WATCHING THE VIDEO"
Google translate is slackin lol
Looks Greek to me...
Again, answering the unanswerable! Great depth of possibilities, i love that you don't simply "ask" a question. Good work, enjoy these videos I do!
I watch your videos in a desperate attempt to improve my patience which I badly need to improve. Thankyou so much for making my therapy sooooo interesting.
Good choice in watercolors! Winsor & Newton is fantastic!
The quality of your video's never seizes to amaze me. One can only guess how much time you spend preparing, filming and editing. Wonderful job. Congratulations on the 400K subscibers, you earned it!
I hate that it takes so long for new videos but I understand why. Amazing work!
As great as our modern technology is, exploring how ancient peoples might have done things is absolutely fascinating.
5:14 i find something deeply satisfying about that sound of metal tapping together.
I'm VERY impressed by the intelligence and knowledge of your viewers!!!
That final inscription in greek ("thanks for viewing") got me by surprise!
I've been following your channel from the clock project and I was beyond excited when I saw you were going to do the Antikythera Mechanism. I find everything about the artifact so interesting and intriguing and have read and seen lots about it - but your series really stands out in so many ways.
Hope your content gets some official, and much deserved, recognition by museums and institutions by the end.
Thank you so much for your time and effort in sharing this amazing project with us!
Greetings from Greece!
I sear your writing a thesis video for some college student with the depth of your research and testing. This is brilliant man.
This just keeps getting better and better!
By far the best series of videos on the Internet. Extremely well done. Impeccable work. Congratulations!
Amazing as always. Your dedication to exploring the possible construction techniques is to be applauded.
😊
My friend who is a programmer like I am put me onto these videos.
There are such similarities with this kind of work and software development. Maths, geometry, tool making, exact mechanisms, solving interesting problems with no immediate answer are commonalities between each profession.
I wish i had not found this chanel, AVE, and This Old Tony right before tax season. Gonna be a real chore explaining the new forge, lathe, and drill mill to the mrs.
Εμείς ευχαριστούμε για τα φανταστικά βίντεο. Με την τέχνη σου δίνεις ζωή στην ιστορία
Chris, you’re the coolest horologist out there. Keep up the great work! You inspire so many with your amazing skills. Thank you!
I don't know about anyone else, but I wasn't prepared for this chemistry lesson at all! Happy new year all!
The most amazing part about this video is that you actually went through almost the entire comment section on your video.
..,you'll see me every time! Wow Chris you are so inspiring!
Your videos are SO thorough and well made, I'm just saying that now even though I've been a fan for a long time. I'm surprised you don't have well over 1 million subs.
Thank you mate, very much appreciate you watching :)
When it comes to drying time, I think we should take into account the extraordinary patience the makers of these devices had.
Your patience and precision never ceases to amaze me. ANOTHER great video. Take care.
I am blown away by your detailed approach to this subject.
I've learnt heaps about marking dyes etc in this video.
Please keep the great videos coming. 👍
If I hadn't previously worked out your Stralian accent, the Coles beetroot gave you away mate!. love your videos!
This guy absolutely kills metalwork. Such an array of skills.
This is so cool, Thank you for taking us for a great ride to something beautiful.
BEAUTIFUL! The collaboration of many minds guiding a hand of one awesome man. Thank you! I scribe everything, to leave my fingerprint behind.
Whoa, this is one of the coolest videos I've ever seen. The Copper Sulfate method (on steel) was like watching magic. I wonder if this is how the myths about lead into gold and Midas got started.
Yeah, that (the copper sulfate) was a particularly beautiful process.
ZOMG It’s Chris!!! RAWR awesome mechanical powa!!!
My favorite content on TH-cam. Thanks, Chris!
Oh God yes. You are the one that can talk me to sleep. And your videos are inspiring me to keep my projects alive.
If you want another good bedtime voice, BigClive here on TH-cam.
Blood, sweat and tears is what usually goes in to these
kind of projects...
It's hard to imagine a higher quality series of videos than this. Everything about it - content, sound balance, music, camerawork, narration, lighting, pace - is brilliant.
I'm currently watching the whole series for the third time. It never gets tired, Chris. :-)
Thank you!
These videos are always worth the wait! Thank you!
As a Greek seeing that last message at the end of the video put a smile on my face. Did you use google translate or you know Greek? i wonder? (it means thank you for watching the video btw)
With a name like George Manalis, I would have never guessed your origins! :)
@@jmercouris Yeah its so difficult to guess, but then again its not like those big surnames that someone may hear like Papadopoulos etc. Fun fact the names George and John are the most used male names in Greece.
@George Manalis I thought Nick or Νικόλαος was at the top. Seems like every second person on my brother in law's island is called Νικόλαος or some variation. The rest appear to be either Σπύρος, Χρίστος or ερασμιος.
@@maxximumb Νίκος or Νικόλαος is like the third most used male name in Greece so you are not wrong about that. Keep in mind though that in Greece is customary that every third generation keeps the name of the first, meaning that the grandparents have the same name with their grandchildren and also some islands have some names in a bigger concentration than other places. Σπύρος and Χρίστος are common names too, but not in the scale of the others. Εράσμιος in the other hand is super mega ultra rare name. So much so that i 've never heard it before. What island is your brother in law from? And am i the only one that finds the whole discussion weird?
ναι ρε, εμενα μου το λες; και εγω Γιαννης ειμαι...@@manafield89
How about some vegemite?
Only stick well to kids faces, will just wipe off every thing else
I et.
Try the new vegemite flavoured peanuts. They're the bomb. 😁
@@cycoholic I had to google this to make sure you weren't taking the piss and, honestly, I don't know if I should be surprised or not
@@bjarnivalur6330 lol I can totally understand that. I actually found them for sale on the counter at a petrol station. I was very doubtful, but I had to give them a go. Surprisingly more-ish. Would be a great beer nut!!
the Antikythera mechanism is fascinating.
It is completely awesome that you used your own blood for this. I'm sure sweat and tears were involved as well.
Great to see you back Chris. This was a most informative set of demos. Super work - particularly that test engraving - gorgeous. :)
Thank you mate :)
@@Clickspring That test piece would make an excellent give away.
For a passionate like me your videos are really incredible ! Thanks for your excellent work ! Cheers from France :)
Its fun to think that this is how ancient builders made and combined their favorite marking aids and other inventions. Just word of mouth and fairly simole available ideas
Somehow i feel so proud being able to read the inscriptions on the dial , ΕΥΧΑΡΙΣΤΟΥΜΕ ΔΙΑ ΤΗΝ ΨΥΧΑΓΩΓΙΑ.
