Gold statement by Uri
You know you're a master artisan when people can ask you to do museum level reconstructions, and you can do it flawlessly, without actually knowing what it does beyond make lines lmao. Seriously though great work and glad you are getting the renown you deserve

@@sheep1ewe That seems a little unfair on Clickspring. He certainly has the machine tools and knows how to use them, but given that he also not only hand files gears but makes the files for it, it's certainly not that he "couldn't" do it without the machine tools.

The most impressive thing about Uri is that he compresses days, weeks of work even, down to 14 minutes and has yet to cut his ear off.

I think this is the curve where if you drop a ball on each side they connect in the middle regardless where on the curve you drop them and even if you drop them from different heights. It probably has a name but I can't remember.

I love the perfect fit of the frame inside the two rails and how smoothly it glides over the wooden surface. Wonderful reconstruction
Great build! No idea why mathematicians would get all googly over drawing a curve, but if they're happy with it....

@studer1679 no, I have a feeling the next one will be a tractrix. This one is a logarithm, Im not sure but I have a feeling choosing the length determines the base of the log you draw. They were used to solve equations graphically.

The mechanism somewhat dupcates the Logrithmic or Exponental curve which have a unique relationship betwenn X and Y which no other method of free hand drawing or tracing can duplicate. It may sound irrelevant now, however consider the time in which it was designed. No one had ever seen a true Log or Exponential curve at this point, they were approximated however no accurate representation was ever demonstrated. We take a lot for granted in our digital time, just look at a slide rule demonstration video. It is likely that anye reading this has a parent, grandparent, or relative that had to use them in school/life

"In 1728 the Italian scholar Poleni took up the theme again. He designed a tractional instrument (see Plate 10 [this mechanism]) and sent copies of it to three colleagues. In his covering letter he argued, again, that by means of his instrument the problem of the *quadrature [area] of the hyperbola* was now for the first time solved in a geometrically acceptable manner" www.gewina.nl/journals/tractrix/bos89.pdf It seems the context of this device is the ancient topic of Euclidean geometry, about whether things can be constructed with the most basic physical tools, (straightedge and compass) rather than by arithmetic. These devices construct transcendental curves without arithmetic, but they're still not a straightedge and compass, so some 18th century controversy perhaps. Or as that article so nearly puts it, "The motif of tractional motion as mechanical legitimation of transcendental curves"
This intro almost sounds like an alien pretending to be human writing a memoir.

Reminds me of my love of Vaucanson’s lathe in the Paris arts and sciences museum. 1751 first lathe to feature angled ways and solid frame. I hope to eventually visit and see it in person. The video from Machine Learning called ‘The Machine that made everything’ is amazing.

Absolutely beautiful Uri. At first I thought the device was an overly elaborate method of tracing one quadrant of an ellipse. I'm glad I read the paper now. It is in fact a logarithmic curve. Fascinating. Oh, and that intro was captivating, and just too funny. Thanks.

fantastic Uri, a great video.
Beautiful. I love your humor. It's good to see you working in your new shop. Congratulations 🎉👏
Nicely done! Whoever built this in the 17th century must have used approximately the same tools and techniques.
Thank sir, I was waiting since long time for your video.
I love your videos so much, your creativity, humour, passion for oldies make it perfect for me ! I'm very glad your talent is recognized my friend ! Cheers from France :)
Oh, how I have missed you! Glad to see you are well and creating content! Thank you, Uri!
your level of detail and use of mostly hand tools to create your creations is truly amazing!
I am learning a lot from your videos, and this video may well be the most useful I've watched on your channel so far. Thanks, Uri. Amazing work.
Gorgeous work. thank you for all the effort.
Great intro -raised a few smiles. Your videos always delight Uri. I listened to a podcaster interviewing you a few years back and have ended up listening a few more times and sharing with sons- both subscribers - as well as some friends. You're, without doubt, one of the most interesting and talented people on KZread.

I love your "projects" and look forward to each new one like a child waiting anxiously to get his hands on a new toy. You are in a class all your own. One of the most talented persons I have ever seen. I thought I was a most talented fabricator leaning on 60 years of learning and making "things" with my hands. But I bow before you. I am but a tinkerer in comparison. Your hands and mind have been blessed and yet you are most humble and simple. God bless you and thank you for sharing with us all.
Cool project. All that hand work is amazing.
Oh! How ingenious! And your rendition of it looks pretty classy in my opinion! I enjoy seeing your craftsmanship.
