This is incredible workmanship, but lets give it up to Barbier and Fenestre who were doing this without all the hightech tools 140 odd years ago.
No doubt that Barbier and Fenestre where using the high tech tools of their day.
All this was done by HAND. Probably took a year or more to make 1.
Just curious if the quality was the same?
As early as the 1920s, articles in the United States, Popular Astronomy and in Scientific American instructed people how to hand make Telescope lenses.
So yes, earlier generations certainly were splendid, well skilled artisans! 🇺🇸 😎👍☕
Fascinating and beautiful to watch - though I was a little disappointed that it didn't show what I was hoping to see. The old light houses have a fresnel lens made from glass, and some of them are huge. I have often wondered how they were figured and ground.
Stunning! An impeccable marriage of form and function. The base is an absolute poem!
Great respect to all the machinists and skilled workers and designers involved.
Thank you!!!! This was amazing! I come from Newfoundland where so many many men on the oceans depended on the lighthouse to keep away from the rocks and to find their way safely home. My forefathers on both sides of my family and my husband's family were whalers, sealers and deep sea fishermen. Watching this video has been emotional for me . Thank you again.
Incredible mix between art and engineering. A must example of the meaning of quality craftsmanship. Thank you
Imagine to construct a dozens perfect lenses in 1877 without all these computerized cutting and lathing machines calculating with nanoscale precision. All honors for Fresnel
GOBBO PLAY don't fool yourself. They had fine tooling. Just not automated cnc machines
What a gorgeous display of skilled workmanship. I'm not sure if these lenses rotate but at some point a ship will see a brief, intense flash of light from the center of the lens known as a "bulls-eye".
Wow! I held my breath on those flat head screws. Amazing piece. Thank you for sharing.
The most satisfying video ever. I want to build fresnel lenses now. I love lighthouse architecture.
Watch Clickspring Videos dude
There are not words that express any equal to the definition of how incredible the craftsmanship displayed in such magnificent piece. i feel it's unparalleled to anything I've ever seen.
While this clearly took a lot of workmanship to build, imagine making the prisms out of glass in the 1800s. That had to take some serious talent.
No matter how one looks at it, there is a great potential in that piece. This reminds me of some of the clockwork which was done at the time of this type of work. What a wonderful amalgamation of materials, human mind and craftsmanship. There are a few points one could improve, but all I am going to say, is that it has a human spirit in it and many modern items that decorate a house have not. Congratulations to the craftsman.
Simply beautiful. I am so happy that people are still practising old school craftsmanship. So much knowledge could be lost without people like those involved in this project.
That's perfection. Well done!
I've never been a fan of brass, but that is a beautiful work of art! Love the video too, watching it come to life.
Magnificent craftsmanship.!.!
I would love to have that as a piece of art in my house. Simply amazing! I don't think that I could come up with the right words to describe this work of art, if I did I'm sure it would be an understatement! Well done! Thanks for sharing!
Respect for using these low end tools and getting a good result
This was really fun to watch and I really loved the quality in which you shot everything. Could you upload a version where it's just the natural raw sounds of you working/the sounds of the machining? The music was very repetitious and distracted from the video, I thought.
Gorgeous just Gorgeous! I have a love of light houses! If I ever have the opportunity to restore one, I Definitely will come to you guys for the Fresnel Lens housing!
That's a "work of art", if ever I saw one. Beautiful.
This is a piece of Art! However I will ask the proverbial question that many have asked in the comments below, what would be the cost of these if they were produced in a limited release edition? What would the release numbers be, 100, 250, 500?
As for the negative comments towards acrylic lenses, the choice for acrylic over glass will reduce the overall weight of this assembly and it does not affect the light output or quality as a display piece in a personal or public collection.
Great job, couldn't stop watching the production.
A thing of beauty. Glass and highly polished brass, that looks almost burnished gold.
Absolutely breath taking piece of work!!! My deep respect!
Precision engineering meets exquisite workmanship, beautiful
Incredible attention to detail, not to mention dedication. Thanks for sharing.
Finally.....TH-cam recommends something worth watching
That's one of the most beautiful works of art I have ever seen. Wow. Gosh, I wish I could own one. Thank you for sharing your video. Peace.
You sir are the finest craftsman I have ever seen you must be so proud of such a fine piece
Thank you for making and sharing bravo
Fantastic video. My great-great grandfather built the lighthouse at Point Reyes National Seashore the housed a Fresnel lens. Thank you.
All by himself golly!
My father was the keeper of the Eddystone Light.
Amazing work! I always thought the prisms were cast in their rough shape, seeing them machined out was quite a surprise.
You sir, are a credit to your craft.
Unparalleled craftsmanship! Beautiful!
Absolutely beautiful, thank you for sharing such fine craftmanship
Beautiful masterpiece. I can picture the WOWs of people seeing one as a sculpture item in my living room.
Spectacular! Anyone else want every tool seen here in their own shop?
You know when you're just casually trolling through YT videos and every now and then come acros a real gem.
You mean seeing one of my comments?
+1 for genuine witty reply
You should check put clicksping channel if you enjoy brass fabrication and clockwork
Already subd to clickspring. Awesome channel
Ok
Breathtaking work!
It's very calming to watch this video. Also, assembling that thing kinda looks fun
So we learn every day a new lesson.
I was thinking that the prisma is glass.
What ever, that is a fine peace of craftmanship.
Very well done.
It is fantastic to see what people can build.
It certainly was not acrylic in 1877. Todays craftsmen are weak.
I love the manual assembly. Respect for these guys.
I cannot imagine how difficult this must have been before the advent of cad computers and the specialized cutting equipment!
Yeah, wow.
The video beautifully renders the gem of the work and the final object. Kudos to all
Gorgeous design and beautiful craftsmanship.
Magnificent work.
What workmanship! This is a lost art in this day and age.
Marvelous video of an extraordinary project. Well done and kudos to all! Thank you for sharing.
Fascinating and beautiful......thank you for this video!!
That was just beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
What a beautiful piece of machining
So satisfying! Amazing work. Congratulations!
I love this piece of brass-meets-glass art very much.
Absolutely stunning craftsmanship.
Truly a work of art! Just watched a lighthouse documentary that showed some that idiots had shot through🤬. How could anyone bring themselves to do that? I would just stare at it in awe and appreciation for the amazing workmanship😲
A beautiful work of art.
Craftsmanship and art. Beautiful.
Wow ! Excellent craftmanship 👍🌞
Well done my friend.
So beautiful, its a piece of art, a real master class product.
Superbe hommage à Fresnel, magnifique réalisation.
I wept as I watched this video. Artisans are alive and well in Florida. Thank you.
This is awesome. I really feel the craftmanship.
Absolutely beautiful work of art and engineering.
Epic manufacturing! Well done!
Gorgeous work of art in my opinion.
Such a nice video and, a Beautiful Creation of Light!
Stunning.
Beautiful work!
A true piece of art!
Beautiful engineering, marvellous. Very clever design.
Woaw, so beautiful job ! I love it !
Beautiful restoration
Absolutely gorgeous!
absolutely gorgeous!
A very satisfying video to watch, thanks from Chicago
Awesome work.
Thank you Terry!
This is a beautiful piece
Absolutely wonderful !!!
Incredible job! Amazing
Modern methods to reproduce a beautiful light. I assume the lenses were an acrylic substance rather than glass.
Magnificent work!
Beautiful workmanship.
Majestic. Well done!
Wow! Beautiful and really impressive. What is the material used as the lens? Polycarbonate with some sort of UV coating I am guessing??? Stunning collaboration!
Fascinating. Thank you.
I have remembered that at school so I never forget about that Very Nice song and video ☺😀
The craftsmanship is as good as the video production. I will take 3 please.
just imagine how it was made in 1877 without this computerized cutting #outstanding
Que belleza! Me he quedado sin palabras...Magnifico trabajo, eso sí son manos capacitadas y expertas! ❤👍😃👏
Plastic lenses ? Is this a functional piece or an artistic reproduction ?
trespire Acrylic prisms and absolutely 100 perfect functional. Between 9 and 14 thousand and probably twice or three times that for a 1st or second order. In theory it's easy to make with machines and computer aided drafting... It's just a matter of copying the original parts.
This is beautiful!
WOW, Don't know how I ended up here but I a glad I did. That was Amazing...
Impeccable workmenship.
Just imagine what it took to produce this device in 1877 without all the fancy new instruments and materials. Incredible.
Workmanship*
I wouldn't call cnc'ing workmanship.
ล
He didn't. He called it workmenship.
A work of art.
it looks very beautiful but why seems it that the focal point of the openable quarter has a little pitch to the lamp or why do you have two different halfs of lenses array?
a work of art.......a thing of beauty, 'nuff said.
Gorgeous!
BEAUTIFUL WORK THANK YOU
Es un trabajo exquisito. Gracias por compartirlo. Una obra de arte digna en cualquier faro. Saludos desde Mi Isla.
