We think we are so smart these days with our computers, our CAD and our CNC. It is amazing and respect inspiring to see what those who preceded us achieved with the means at their disposal. Thank you kindly for these images and information.
Thanks guy's. I was a professional turner early on and also have had bridgeport and lathe work as a professional in a burlwood factory in the late seventies. Ive only, in the last few years, added graver turning and guilloche to my list of ambitions. Great job thanks again. KJK
What a great history lesson and yes a wonderful machine to be sure, they do amazing work with such artistic accuracy. Nice music well made video we both thank you for making and then sharing this story. Lance & Patrick.
Nice video, but it was Charles Holtzapffel who introduced the ornamental lathe commercially in London, not John. John Jacob was his son, and continued his father´s work, finishing the series of books Charles had started writing and so on.
There were two John Jacobs. The first was the father of Charles and grandfather of the second. The first changed his name from “Jean” when he moved to London and opened up shop. It was in the late 18th century, about 1792.
@@theplumierfoundation6031 Yes, I know. I was tired when I commented, and didn't quite remember correctly. Lovely videos on your channel, thanks for sharing.
I was prepared to like this a lot. I notice that the people who left comments liked it. I am not with them on that. I like narration and either no music or background music. I didn't watch much of it because of that.
What a shame, that a video dedicated to these beautiful machines and their creator was ruined by whoever thought it a good idea to prevent us from enjoying the otherwise gorgeous images of them by covering them in text which not only stopped us from seeing them but forced us to focus on reading rather than looking. just to make absolutely sure that the film was pointless!. thumbs down and no subscribe, I hope someone else produces an account of the development and ingenuity of the creators that has some worth as such, because this one was destroyed by the ego of whatever thought that those viewing would be sufficiently shallow that they would appreciate the ridiculous editing!
Amazing machines!
This machine is more art than machine. Such beauty. Thanks for sharing this.

I'm an old fart but I'm still learning things everyday and this is one of them. Thanks!

How I would love to try that machine.
Come on over and give it a try.

You missed out if you didn’t watch the video.
At least hire Morgan Freeman to read this shit to us. If I wanted to read a Wikipedia article, I'd have done that.
And all the while while trying to fend off constant attacks from the barbarians to the east and south.
You guys might consider hiring a proofreader...

ATTENTION watch this video if you want a sad experience of having to listen to lame music and reading all of the text boxes on the screen
Meanwhile, in Africa... 😂
What a waste of time. A wikipedia article with a slideshow obscured by text? Really? Next time hire a twelve year old to produce your content.
