Invented in the 1500s by the sea monks of Denmark, springs were created to fill the gap between winters and summers.

I worked in the spring industry for many years, and we made hair springs on cnc machinery. The modern process for large scale manufacturing is significantly different than yours, but I am very impressed by the quality of your finished product. I was not expecting them to look as good as they do. The polishing of the drawing rollers and other attention to the surface condition of the wire is great.

Oh my word, the moment of realization when you pulled the two springs apart as to why you wound them with two wires... magnificent. so great.

But this time, I am forced to comment. This may have been one of the most amazing videos that I have seen on this channel. The superlatives do not exist to describe your work. You, sir, are absolutely the GOLD STANDARD to which all others should be compared. I am so deeply impressed. Thanks for all the awesome videos!

Once again Chris, you prove we stand on the shoulders of giants. Beautifully done.

Chris, You are a true master of machining. Watching your videos is like a deep meditation for me, and I'm sure others will agree.😊

When you first started this project and said it was going to be a dial test indicator I was a little under whelmed but I had no idea there would be so much awesome tool making and cool engineering ! Most people agree that your video work is top notch but very few people recognise just how good your audio tracks are too ! They are some of the best I have ever heard and I don't say that lightly ! I know what it takes to create perfectly balanced and blended audio of this standard and I really appreciate the effort you put in to achieve it ! Great skills all round, craftsmanship, video capture, lighting, audio, editing and narrating, I cannot fault anything you do ! I hope you are getting rewarded for such high levels of detail and craftsmanship because you really deserve to be Chris !

@@pauljohnson3401 Most people running channels barely pay any attention to the audio but it's one of the most important aspects of a good video.

I have watched a lot of YT makers and I can honestly say compared to all of them your dedication to precision and detail easily makes you a cut above. A true master craftsman.

My great grandfather was a clockmaker, he made hundreds of clocks as a hobby in his time. I'm sure he and you would have had some exceptional conversations.

This is probably the highest level of skill in any trade I have ever seen in my life. This channel is amazing.

There's just something about springs that keeps me coming back to 'em.

I've gotten into making my own dials on my little CNC machine, building watches from off the shelf parts, and can service a movement, but progressing to the point I can call myself an actual watchmaker that *makes* watches (even with CNC tools) is a long road indeed. I think Clickspring is what initially got me on the watch work graph and it's been a really fun rabbithole to go down.

The forward planning on making these parts to make them reusable is mind blowing

I always forget just how small these things are when you are machining them. Then I get blow away when you hold them in your hands. Great work as always!

The quality of this video, the attention to detail, and the meticulously laid out shots have me mesmerized. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Brought to you by the man that uses tools to make tools that make tools. This was so satisfying to watch!

This is at the pinnacle master craftsmanship. The springs that we see being made are beautiful. I worked in tool and die and have the utmost appreciation for this type of skill.

Sheesh, just when I thought he couldn't get better he takes us all back to school. Feel like a kid again.

This video had nothing to do with what I was researching, yet I stayed and watched the whole video. Loved it, keep up the great quality content

Man, seeing that first spring come out so beautiful was truly breathtaking!

Your video craft aligns with your instrument craft, matchless

Awesome, I always love a new Clickspring video!

I could feel the mind blowing triumph when you separated the first two springs after heat treatment and removal from the form winder.

Yours are the only videos I don't watch at double speed.

Honestly, I had no idea what you were making or what it did, but the production of these videos is so good that I have to watch them.

Your craftsmanship is truly in a league of your own and is nothing short of a work of art, you just don't see the level of detail and beauty like this enough in the machining world, your work just never ceases to amaze!!

If there’s better content on KZread I haven’t found it yet. Thanks Chris.

Reminds me of the time I took 6 hours to wind a magneto's spring back up.

G’Day Chris, clearly you haven’t forgotten how to do world class cinematography. I particularly admire the script in this episode 👍. Please do keep on being you.

For me, tis is one of the best videos Chris has ever made🤩 The perfection of these little springs makes me shiver😵

Your patience and delicate in handling of the material is something to aspire.

I can never thank AvE enough for recommending your channel in one of his videos. I’m not sure I’d have ever found your channel on my own. But your attention to detail and craftsmanship is unmatched!

Well mate that was journey into master craftsmanship.

these are absolutely stunning, that blueing is remarkable and i imagine it was difficult to get it to show so well on camera. great work Chris

What an incredible job on cinematography and a perfect execution on explaining this process. Once again Chris you knocked it out of the park.

Incredible. That spherical spring tool 🤯🤯

RESPECT! Your methods, skills and teaching are always Superlative! Thank You!

Genius level craftsmanship.

In bygone days when I had a watch repair shop I chanced upon a chronometer with a barrel style spring which reversed winding direction halfway up the barrel such that as the upper half got tighter the other got looser thereby maintaining an even tension throughout the balance swings.

That would be cool to see :)

Thumbs up x1000, absolutely incredible.

Chris, watching this has just blown my mind! How the horologists of old figured out how to produce springs like this amazed me. With the spherical spring I'd certainly like to know how you cut the helix with the diameter changing all the time and presumably there was some sort of indexing the individual discs so that the helical groove lined up. More on that please because I'm sure many others who watched and liked this video would love to see more on the manufacture of the spherical former.

You must have the patience of a saint, I love watching you do these jobs but I couldn’t focus on them for as long as necessary

*LITERALLY* going to save this to watch with a coffee tomorrow as a treat...!!!

Chris, you're a damn wizard.

The Patience you have and thinking outside the box is amazing on how you come up with your ideas to make things. Thank you for sharing your videos 👍👍

Outstanding as always, not only the workmanship but the cinematography as well. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

The aesthetic result of heat-bluing is just... stunning. Great job!

I cliqked to watch you make a spring. Somthing poetic about that ❤

Mind-bogglingly beautiful.

I absolutely love seeing the hairsprings bounce when handled. They're like normal springs, but under the influence of strong recreational stimulants, all _"FLBLblblblfblt!"_

Got chills watching that first spring after blueing👌

I honestly thought I would skim through this video, but it was just too good and informative for a process I knew nothing about. Makes me want a machine shop to play in. But this clearly takes a level of learned patience…

This is the reason I hate KZread and love it. More damn things I want to make with my own hands. What am I going to make with a custom spring? No idea, I just want to make one. Beautiful work by the way. I will be binging the rest of your videos to be sure. And thanks for the reference material.

The light/shadow coming through that spherical spring was a very neat thing to show. My first thought was "how the heck do you get that off the mandrel" the multi part mandrel was such a cool and simple solution. Brilliant video.

What a demonstration of knowledge and craftsmanship...

Another fantastic video. The reveal of how you got the spherical spring off the form had me cheering!

I could watch that spherical sprint bounce around for hours! The moire patterns are really interesting!

The level of detail in your work is commendable

I don’t even know what to say… but wanted to say something. Incredible.

Another one of those, "things i didn't know i didn't know". Can't wrap (no pun intended) my head around how one makes a consistent grouve around a sphere, hope you filmed the making of that last former.

I really want to say that it's such an insignificant part, but I will be wrong, and it doesn't matter because it's still beautiful even if it is significant. Why can't it be both? Delightful work as always.

I've watched many a watch fixing video.. but never on how to make something like this. This guy is nuts!

Heat blued steel on high shine brass is my favorite color scheme. It's just such a hypnotizing combo.

Some real nice looking moiré patterns at 18:37!

That is the most beautiful spring i've ever seen in my life. Your work always top-tier.

Ok...that had to be one of the most impressive things I've seen you make. Well Done Chris.

Chris, you magnificent bastard. I always dreamed there would be an electronic archive of the development of technology, so that when our civilization collapses, as so many others have before, we would have a series of step by step instructions on how to get from sticks and rocks, back up to at least 19th C. Levels. I feel like your methodical and beautifully crafted style and presentation would be exactly right. Your work should be edited into picture books and etched onto golden pages.

Oh. My. God. Your videos - are treasure. Thank You so much!!!

Excellent workmanship Chris.

That was incredible. You are amazing. I can’t wait to see more of the dial indicator build

There is nothing you can say that will convince me that the guide for the spherical springs is not made by cosmic beings with tools that defy our imagination.

You sir, are a true artist.

I’m absolutely gobsmacked Masterful

Raising the quality bar 'again'!! Keeping history 'current'. Thanks Chris.👍

Fascinating. This had me thinking that if primitive technology ever catches up to what’s happening over here on Clickspring…it would be the cross over of the century and youtube would crash

Of all the machinists on YT i would argue you're the most technical. I also think that beyond the natural beauty of machined parts, you do a good job accentuating it.

Chris: "I need springs for this project I'm working on" Sane person: "oh, so you'll just buy th..." Chris: "so I made myself a whole set of tools and jigs to make hand-crafted, museum-quality blued springs in various custom shapes" Seriously, dude, you are just amazing. I can't believe I consistently take time out of my day to watch someone fabricate a minor part or tool, and I'm just equally flabbergasted every damn time...

Now that was impressive!

Chris' videos never disappoint.

The last sprint is amazing. Love it.

Your attention to detail is IMPECCABLE!!!
