Great video! Where did you get the straight line and rose engines and how old are they... Also, this video really gets me close to the edge of making a depth stop for my mill... One day.

Geez.... Talk about dodgy workmanship.... 🤭

Would not be surprised if the swarf in this man's workshop were all of a uniform size and weight. Absolute top shelf stuff. Thanks for inviting us along.

Indeed! Chris' craftsmanship is so perfect I couldn't help notice the momentary lapse at 1:34 where the Dykem didn't cover exactly 100.0% of the surface of the piece LOL :) I could watch this all day long as I pick up so many little visual tips and techniques for my own mediocre metalworking efforts.

Blued, Hardened and Functional. Yes, Good One. Still chuckling. Oh, and yes, he is a bugger, hey. :)) edit...and when the swarf is dug up in 2000 years, people will remark about what a far sighted machine it is.

Indeed. Been an avid fan since AvE's channel recommended it many years ago.

This is my go-to answer to the question "What is the best KZread channel?" Keep it up, please, or I shall be sad.

Babe wake up, Clickspring posted

Dear Chris, thanx for picking up the channel again. Your level of detail never stops to amaze me.

Arguably the finest channel on KZread.

Not often you see a simple knob able to stand alone as a work of art. Amazing work.

You always manage to make hand finishing look so quick and satisfying. Then I go out to the shop and grab a file and start cursing until my fingers are sore

The only person that could make Dykem drying interesting.

Aw, man ! I WISH I had your skill, patience, expertise, talent... Wow, this brought tears to my eyes. Just, wow. Thank you.

When the slots on those two screws lined up parallel... I have no words.

watching machining of screws is extremely satisfying

Is anyone else baffled by how Chris gets the machine slots of the screws exactly identical and indeed the angle he wants them to be at? 🤔 👏👍🏻

@aussiebloke609

I'm guessing he cuts the threads, then screws them into the part and marks 12 o'clock on the blank head. Then unscrew them and cut the slots according to that mark. It happens too often for it to be coincidental. 🙂

I used to be baffled, but then i just started accepting the world is full of magic after all.

Right now this video has more likes than views!!! The hallmark of a great KZreadr!!

Even your screws look beautiful.

Hey, Chris ! I'm a Norwegian woodworker / furniture maker and I reckon I'm about half as smart as I need be to understand what you're doing. But that doesn't stop me from gathering some small practical tips, oooh!-that's-a-clever-tool-can-I-make-that-of-wood? & 'good practice points' that I can use in my woodshop. I must have picked up a good handful or two of 'insights' / things-I-would-never-have-thought-of-myself from watching your videos, and TOT, Allen Millyard, Abom79 & other metalworkers (you can plane steel?! linearly ?!! with a humongous tool-pushing monster machine ?!!! wicked, black art, I tell you! Best stay well away and keep cutting wood with steel as Odin intended) Thanks! for sharing your brilliant work is what I'm getting at, I guess. You're a joy and an inspiration. Enough gushing. I've got steel to hone.

Quality work, nothing but quality work on this channel in every aspect. It creates the illusion that everything is ok and we are worthy of being part of this planet Thank you very much.

I myself never had the skill in metalworking, either by hand or with machine tools, but I am completely fascinated at the incredible work Clickspring does. Many of the skills he shows off are sadly fading away with the advent of computerized machining and manufacturing. I sincerely hope that those who have the skill and interest in metalworking keep these older machining methods alive in the future.

Of course the screw heads point in the same direction! 🤣 Exquisite workmanship.

I appreciate the Goldeneye sound effects 🫠

8:20 Most beautiful shavings I've ever seen. Simply a sumptuous visual confection.

A bit of perfection in this sad world. Thanks

2 clickspring videos within 2 weeks?!? Someone pinch me I might be dreaming.

This guy is the epitome of “if a job’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well”.

Best machining photography I've seen.

loving the one video a year cadence

Regular people:"We need to find a vendor to supply this complicated part" Chris from Clickspring:" Nah, mate. I'll make it myself" Regular people:"What would a mechanical astrological computer look like?" Chris from Clickspring:" I'm building one based off a recovered chunk of coral using ancient machining techniques." Awesome work Chris! This seems to be the time for incredible Australian craftsman ship with you, Marty's Matchbox Makeovers, Chris from Cutting Edge Engineering, and BigstackD! Never been to Australia but you guys make me want to see how amazing it has to be with people like you guys there!

As usual, left speechless at the attention to detail. Perfect.

you're truly an artist and a craftsman, the way your videos are shot is so pleasing and you explain everything so clearly it's a joy to watch.

Loved the N64 Goldeneye sound effects!

I want brass knobs like that on everything that can take a knob. And it will age beautifully as well, it will be no time until it looks like the original knob.

Clickspring videos are consistently the only videos i watch on KZread in 1x speed - to fully appreciate it as Chris intended from the editing booth. (And I watch a lot of youtube at 1.5-2x haha)

two clickspring uploads in one month lets gooo

An engineering spectacle as always.

Man i missed this channel. 🥰

Those screw heads landing in the same orientation. Holy crap that looks so right.

The idea of turning metal by hand as though it were a wood lathe is fascinating. What a great technique.

The transfer screws (00:55) for locating holes are used a lot in cabinetmaking, too. 🙂 The woodworking ones aren't threaded, but their function's the same. Setting concealed locating/strengthening dowels into edge joints is impossible to do accurately without a supply of little pointy things!

For Watchmaker its how we do a lot of very small stuff Its easier and faster most of the time to do parts by handturning compared to whipping out the Support, get everything straight and alined. And for tiny diameters its close to impossible to do it with the Support. And by tiny I mean Pivots of 0.2mm diameter

Go back to videos from years ago on this channel. Hand forming curves is a staple of Chris's technique.

you make engineers happy 👍

I truly miss your regular long videos and the “g’day click spring here”. Thanks for making them again

Great to hear a "G'day" again. Always amazing work. Thank you... :)

Good ol’ fashioned clickspring vid! Thank you!

So glad to hear your voice again!

There are maybe three channels in my subscriptions (out of 994) that can get me to stop "multitasking," and maintain my complete focus on the video at hand. This just happens to be one of them. Absolutely magnificent.

This guy takes so much pride in his work it's ridiculous. I mean, to him it's not just a bolt, it's a freakin work of art.

You spoil us Chris.

The Best channel I have ever seen. Thank you Chris.

Just beautiful Mr Clickspring.

Hes back i cant believe he is back

It is so great to have you back making videos!

I now know how to make an attachment for a tool I will never own... and I couldn't be happier.

Feels SO weird to see you use modern(ish) tools, instead of hand crafted ones!!

@14:38 - Because Clickspring. Amazing.

Well done Chris. Thank you.

I really enjoy these longer videos. Watching you work is very zen-like. Plus, we got some "x-ray" views in this one!

One of my favorite channels.

When you are that skilled that your modifications are seamless with the original. A pleasure to watch such a skilled craftsman.

Somehow making 3 screws became work of art, Cap doffed

I really love how you preview upcoming shapes and operations, overlaying holes and the final intended form. This is exactly how I picture things while fabricating, and I think it really helps people follow along, especially those who might not see it naturally.

11:40 - "The small pits and dents give a bit of character, making it look like it's been around for a while." Oh, Chris, you know me so well...😁

Chris it's always pleased to see your work.

This is true craftsmanship.

Never machined anything in my life. Realized many years ago that amazing edit, explanations and often a story behind it all make you special. Skill as a viewer doesn't matter with your productions. Thank you!

I work in the music field. Another field like this one where anyone who's any good makes it look easy - a piece of cake - anyone could do that! Chris makes the most precise work look easy, effortless, and as though it was pretty much foolproof. Get yourself a lathe and you could be churning out stuff like this tomorrow. Not only does it fit precisely, it looks beautiful too. I know i could make all that stuff myself. Until i tried that is. Behold, the master!

Superb. I machine parts that go to space and I feel humbled.

Despite your camera work being off the charts... your narration is what gives your channel its charm. So excited to have you back!

Yeah... this channel is the trifecta of science, engineering, and art. You're a master of your craft(s) Chris!

Always a pleasure watching you work Chris. Thanks for sharing.

Glad you are back, keep'um coming.

Gosh, finally something relaxing for my day. Very good.

I am never sure what I am more impressed by in your videos, your fabricating skill or your sheer artistry.

I was so chuffed to see this was a long video that I paused it at the start to put the kettle on and make myself a mug of tea. Er, there may have been a packet of chocolate Hobnobs and a comfy chair involved too, but that's just rumour, and rumour so often lies...

Glad to see your videos in my recommendations again!

It's so nice to start seeing new full length (And narrated !) content on your channel again Chris. There's something very soothing, yet uplifting about your tone........ It doesn't hurt that it's backdropped by video of some high class machinist p*rn too. :D

I always take away so much from your videos, and they're so relaxing..!

Clickspring!!!! We all know and love you and your videos. Thank you so much for sharing and we cant wait for future engine turning videos!!!

Brilliant addition to that magic machine. 👍

Such a passion for machines.

I'll bet he li....yep, Chris lined up the screw slots. Perfection.

My favorite channel by far

My granddad was a finemechanic and I really taken back to visits to his workshop when I see you videos.

As always Chris, a pure joy to watch! "... play a key role in coming videos..." 🤸‍♀🤸‍♀🤸‍♀

Chris, Your workmanship is a joy to behold.

I sincerely appreciate the fact that instead of making a half assed fixture ( not that you ever do). You took the time to make a simple and well executed tool that'll last a life time. Not to mention the camera work is fantastic. Always a pleasure watching your videos. Thankyou

like the drill-fingers you did at 9:45, caught me off left-field

Poetry just poetry!

I've missed you man I've learned a lot of using a lathe and been tinkering with it myself

I like to imagine one day I'll have a fraction of these skills. Meanwhile I marvel in the beauty of the work and editing.

It makes my day when you release a video

At 6:36 it is sooooo satisfying!

Love that you’re making longer-form videos again. Thank you!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: you are a wizard and it is wonderful to watch you work.

Would you please let me make lunch for my girls? I don't know why I choose one of your videos to watch while cooking.. mesmerized aaaand burnt food...

My first Clickspring video. I wasn't disappointed. Great video quality and graphics and top-notch metal work with attention to detail bordering on obsessive.

Thank you for sharing your gift .....

Beautiful attachment!!!

I have to admit, I have no idea about machining, but I love seeing your attention to detail and the beauty of the final product

I love that you take the time to work on getting the aesthetics of a piece right. There’s something about using a tool that’s not only functional, but also beautifully made. Can’t wait to see further vids on the use of the machine, keep them coming!

I've worked in metal most of sixty years, and all along the way have been beautiful "engine turnings" I've seen, and occasionally participated in. Thanks for showing a very nice piece of kit of the sort so commonly used a century ago, and today.
