    Hey Folks, this is the first episode of the third Patron Series project, Constructing a Dial Indicator. Each of the videos from this series will appear here on TH-cam in due course as the project progresses. The plans for the project are available as part of the $1 tier on Patreon, and if you'd like to help me make these videos you can do so here: www.patreon.com/clickspring/about - Cheers :)

    The scale is always so hard to judge and it looks normal,until you see a gigantic thumb come into shot. Fantastic work as always Chris!

      @HangarQueen 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I'm pretty sure you've stumbled on the truth: that Chris is a giant using normal human-sized tools. That's how he makes it look so easy. It's clear that nobody could really make such intricate parts so small, so perfectly. Occam's razor: he's a giant.

    Being from the area, I'm happy to let you know that you pronounced Waltham correctly! Growing up in New England, most dads in our neighborhoods were machinists in either the weapons or aeronautics industries. I, myself, was an apprentice machinist before jobs went to other countries in the late 80s. Yours is one of the best channels on YT, being the absolute best for machining in horology. Your Antikythera videos should be given awards for short film. Thanks for what you're doing.

    I'm convinced the Antikythera mechanism was actually made by Chris and he has a working time machine that's how he knows so much about what tools were used to make it, that's probably why we don't see it anymore cos he had to go back in time an throw it into the sea so it could be found

    Using a dial indicator to make a dial indicator... That's just straight up full circle poetry in action.
    I always love the concept of how those tools started. Such a repetitive process; to start with something crude and using the finished product to create the next better one, until they increasingly become as precise as the ones we're used to today.
    I just imagine the first true mill created that probably literally helped create the next one. I envision it being a janky, wobbly, accurate enough-ish thing that did exactly what it was designed to do: prove a concept

    Yes they can be used for many things. We, guitar players, technicians, and luthiers, use them, also. We used them to measure fret height. String height. Neck relief. All are small measurements. 1-2mm max. With neck relief being the smallest number from zero to 0.4 to 0.5mm
