@@luccadeahl5340 Ok, but why? A clock has hands. What resembles hands more, in a pigeon? The wings, or the legs? Biologically, it's very clear that a bird's "arms" are its wings and not its legs.
I wish I was rich enough to have Uri build me odd mechanisms for a curiosity cabinet and see people struggle to work out the meaning / purpose of them all.
There was a website long ago called Gary's Wooden Clocks. It said that since clocks only rotate in one direction, only one surface of each gear tooth actually matters. Make the back of the pigeon head follow an accurate gear tooth profile. The other gear tooth surface can contain the pigeon's beak. The gear should operate as accurately as a traditional involute gear in one direction. You have to flip over all the gears that rotate counter-clockwise.
@@Zer0ji Sure, you could get it to work with the beak on the meshing face, but it won't be as efficient. The power transfer will vary depending on the position. Drive weight will need to be increased or runtime reduced for the clock to continue running through the weak phases. Running the pigeons backwards will have maximum efficiency through the complete rotation, so runtime can be increased.
Every 10 seconds it's one minute. Every 10 minutes it's one hour. Every 10 hour it's one day. Every 10 days it's one week. Every 10 weeks it's one month. Every 10 months it's one year. It all makes sense now
this thing is just fantastic in so many ways, it measures 44,5 seconds divided into tenths, and the second hand (or the two hundredths of 44,5 seconds-hand?) is a foot. And the only answer to the question "but why?" is "well you see, the gears are pigeons.." Bravo, sir
Funnily enough, 45 seconds is the amount of time you typically wait when blooming a pour over coffee. So essentially you've made a bloom clock! Congrats!
This is the second best for me, first was an actual Pidgeon with a watch band i saw some homeless guy wearing the other day. This one took more craftsmanship for sure though
Met Uri at Maker Central last weekend. My meds were kicking my brains out my ears and I just gushed about loving his work and how it made me use more brass. He asked what projects, and for some reason I just stared and said "knives" in an unintentionally sinister moment of brain-fog (I do make other things I swear!). I went to leave before Uri called for security, but he stopped me and handed me a handmade paper postcard with a drawing of a pigeon he made. Everything Uri does is part of a wonderfully absurd world, and this clock is a perfect example of that.
I just love the thickness of Uri materials. I'm going to make a delicate clock mechanism - and he whips out a piece of sea going brass a half inch thick! Truly a work of mechanical art as usual. Does it work? Yes it does. Does it have a purpose? Not in this universe ...
Not me giggling at this very silly concept for a clock on a day when I'm feeling extra crummy from migraines! Thank you for the giggles! It's beautiful!
I've learned over the years if you expect it to work the first time it rarely will. It's better to remain sceptical because life likes to prove you wrong. Great video.👍
By far the coolest metric (10 hour), single footed, Pigeon themed, interference pendulum non-clocks I have ever seen! As always, it was a great video. The perfectly timed comedic pause at "the pendulum swings between the legs" had me spurting orange soda out of my nose! Fantastic work all the way around.
@@TheGrinningViking OOOO, tricky. But there are 12 inches in a foot, not ten, and 12 hours on most clock faces, not ten. Sooo Metricerial? or Impetric?
Uri is awesome i started watching him many, many years ago. He shows his mistakes, issues, problems and shows that things don't always go smooth. The way his mind and humor is just what i need some days.
I sware i saw clock mechanism and thought i was going to see you handcraft a clock. Didnt even think twice about it. I know how involved clock mechanisms are. The tiny details of every gear moving in harmony. This is how highly i think of your skill as a maker. This was amazing too. Its always a treat to see you in action and fun too.
Aw man, this was a great video! Your eye for the absurd coupled with your sense of humor is just brilliant, like 14:18. I love it. And on top of that you are an excellent artist and craftsman. Also, props for the clocked screws!
I cannot tell you how many times i giggled during this video. Please never change your personality in your videos, its so fresh and adorable and earnest! And your creativity is wonderful! I love the bent pendulum!
I saw this on Patreon and I couldnt help but watch it again here! Love the Clickspring-on-crack energy, Uri!! Really fills the Antikythera shaped hole in my heart! Another awesome project as always!
Clickspring is still working on the Antikythera mechanism, there was a very long time where there wasn't much video content on it as he was working on the paper he was writing regarding his discoveries over how it works. Now he is mostly done with that side of things, the pace is picking up on the mechanism itself and the video making, craftsmanship does take time though, I wonder how long it took to create the original mechanism?
Ive been looking at all of the updates on his patreon for a while, I am really getting excited to see what it will look like when its finished! I really cannot imagine how long it would have taken for an ancient craftsman to do!
I love your videos. So much skill and thought there, but the zany sense of humor just makes my week. "We'll have a hand, which obviously will be a leg". This will forever be stuck in my brain when I need a silent and private chuckle. Thanks.
I have no clue what is happening or why this video sowed up in my feed but I am incredibly glad that it did. This is, single handedly,l the coolest video i have watched in a while! And all of the little birds have eyes! amazing!!
It was fun watching Uri do egregious things with hand tools, but I feel like getting real machine tools has truly unlock the shenanigan potential in him.
i am a watchmaker and loooove this. you are skilled and a great guy! all you have to set now is the "reperé" which is the same amount of time between the tic and tocs (bendulum swing left an right)
0:01 I mean... from a philosophical perspective, don't we all already exist as cogs in a capitalist consumption machinery for the benefit and enrichment of the already extremely wealthy?😅
I love showing all the errors and returns of your work, while cutting out any boring stuff. It is quite entertaining and educational at once. Nice work (and also the clock) .
Uri, I just want to say that I deeply appreciate your particular breed of insanity, level of commitment to absurdism, and all around funky point of view. Thank you for being you, and for sharing you wackiness with everyone!
You can adjust the timing of the clock by lengthening/shortening the pendulum (seems like lengthening might be good in this case, in order to reach a minute), you could add in a threaded end to the tip of the current pendulum rod as an adjustment piece. Also, the inconsistent tics vs tocs can be adjusted by changing the equilibrium position of the pallet fork (or escapement fork) relative to the position of the pendulum. This is known as "beat error" in watchmaking. Having near zero beat error first before you adjust the rate is preferable since reducing the beat error will allow the amplitude of oscillation to be maximized. Very very cool stuff! Also I know you're not trying to make a fully functioning clock, but if you wanted to, and had sufficiently smooth mechanisms, you would be able to increase your power reserve too (time before your clock runs out of wind). But then you might also want to create a winding mechanism independent from the motion mechanism, but that's a whole slippery slope that you've now gone down hahaha.
Great build Uri! If you increase the length of your pendulum rod, it will slow down the beat (increase the time between beats). Then thread the end of the rod (maybe a couple inches) and get rid of the hook on the weight, drilling a through hole where the hook was. Now slide the weight onto the threaded rod and thread a decorative final onto the rod below the weight. This way, you can use the finial nut to fine tune the timing so that your 10 to 1 countdown timer can be any length of time you wish. Next thing would be to add a small bell that rings every time your timer hits 10 o’Tuchman!

That was my first thought - follow an involute pattern only on meshing surfaces
To keep the spirit of the clock, the pigeon should be on the meshing face, and the perfectly fine gear surface should stay unused!
@@Zer0ji Sure, you could get it to work with the beak on the meshing face, but it won't be as efficient. The power transfer will vary depending on the position. Drive weight will need to be increased or runtime reduced for the clock to continue running through the weak phases.

Funnily enough, 45 seconds is the amount of time you typically wait when blooming a pour over coffee. So essentially you've made a bloom clock! Congrats!
Mine's more like 30 seconds. But really, I just wait until the foaming stops.
And it's counting down, this would fit perfectly in an indie coffee place or just as a very interesting, questionably useful, fun item
a longer pendulum would make it go slower.
It's nice watching an original genius at work. You read the books and immediately threw them all out.
This is without a doubt one of the nicer pigeon-themed clocks ive seen.
Easily in the top 10 pigeon-themed clocks.

Then thread the end of the rod (maybe a couple inches) and get rid of the hook on the weight, drilling a through hole where the hook was.
