my mouth hung open in admiration, disbelief and pure shock when that became a cutting tool and it was used to make another tool. You my good sir. Are EPIC
I was impressed with the ingenuity that went into the circular cutter. Then I was impressed with the setup you had to make the other piece, then I realized you were making a milling cutter and it straight blew my mind. For reference, I'm not a machinist at all.
I wonder if this is some sort of evolution? I have noticed that I don't really make anything any more, I make tools to make things. Clickspring is one level more meta, he makes tools to make tools to make things. When you get to tools to make tools to make tools to make things, I suspect it gets blurred, as those tools can make things, too, in general. It's hard to imagine the tool to make the button cutter not being useable to make finished items. Such as buttons.
The thought of you thinking I need a tool. Then thinking how to make that tool. But first having to engineer tools. All for something you could buy. We are all amazed by your many skills even to attempt this.
Um, just a (respectful!) question about workshop technique at 1:48... Why is the cutter mounted underneath the tool body, rather than on top? The bottom mounting relies entirely on the smallish head of the retaining bolt for support; wouldn't having it fixed to the top of the tool body offer better rigidity and reduce the likelihood of chatter? Or is chatter not a problem on such a compact assembly? No criticism intended, Chris - I'm just curious. 🤔
Its a convenient way to get a negative rake on the cutting edge and fit within the limits of the tool holder/center height of the lathe. It does stress the fastener a little more than one would ordinarily choose, but not so much as to cause an issue - Cheers :)
Coming from the world of high speed machining with carbides and ceramics, this really sets me on edge lol. I know it's probably fine considering a steel cutter in a low speed application, but it's hard to shake the "rigidity is everything" mentality.

make a tool, to make a tool, to make a tool, to.... yeah, it just goes on. Beautiful work!
Step 1 in "How to build civilization": Build a lathe... From there it's easy.
Right
technically, the antikythera is a tool to help tell time... so yeah!
Tools all the way down
To paraphrase Adam Savage. With a mill and a lathe you can make virtually any other tool or machine out there.
Gunna need some longer episodes soon. Short clips are like opening a bag of chips and only having one mouthfull lol.
I mostly not eat a full bag emptiy. But also had to figure were the button is. (disk cutter other alternative?)
I love this of course, but your old long vids with voiceover used to be the best damn thing on the internet period!
thank you!
Chris: the guy that gets out all his custom tooling, to make a form tool, to make another tool.
From the man who uses machining tools to create tools, that create other tools, that create perfection.
How long before you start making your longer vids again? These vignettes are just teasing us.
I miss his old videos too but as he said back along he's super busy atm
will be happy to see him return properly though ... beautiful work every time!
Chris was doing #shorts before they were cool.

If we ever need to rebuild civilization/tooling from scratch, this is the kinda guy we need.
Just needs to team up with Andy from How To Make Everything.
One of these days I expect he’s going to post a video where he’s down in a mine extracting iron ore for his next tool.

You my good sir. Are EPIC
The amount of work that goes into making the tools to make parts is incredible.
I miss your old commentary in your videos. But I still very much enjoy your videos. thank you.

Nice sharpening jig ( 2:40 ) I like it!
I need so much more of this in my life.
I've enjoyed the longer version of this, thanks for a pleasant 3 minutes!
Wow, you really are covering the basics of the advancement of technologies. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Each and every video is more captivating than the previous one. Such beautiful craftsmanship, your work is impeccable.
Super elegant!
Beautiful work!
A mastercraftsmen at work and a pleasure to watch!
3min video? The gods have blessed us.
Absolutely amazing workmanship.
Even when I have seen the videos before, they are still mesmerizing.
So good to have you back! Wonderful video.
Amazing work, as always
Wow! Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing🇨🇦

I like your acoustic ceiling.
Fantastic content as ever
Cool!
Chris you have way way more patience than I do, and yet I wish I could do this stuff.
yesss, flabergasting, relaxing, fascinating, thx...
perfect
Excelente!
Just..... Wow 😳
Очень интересно! Спасибо!
I hope you own stock in the company that makes Super Glue
It would be interesting to see the actual application that cutter was for.
How they did insert tooling before carbide and ceramic cutters were developed.
You are so skillful at what you do it’s crazy interesting thank you very much for what you do
Masterclass ! Where i can watch full leng video please ?
I would like a blooper reel, just to remind us that you’re still human. Maybe some broken bits or something measured wrong
Cut to 2025: "Forming and Assembling A Lathe"
👍👍👍
I somehow read "carbide" in that title, don't know how. Nice great cutter you made there.
...And today, we make a tool, to make another tool, to make the thing we need.
Perfect like always! Which glue you use to fix the workpiece?
👍
Is that a throwing star for the world's smallest ninja?
I want to see that tool in action.

"Good day, time to cut some lands and grooves." Nope, not that kind of button cutter. lol
He made a tool, to make another tool, to make the Antikythera mechanism.
I would like to know how much time it takes you to do the math in cad to design the tool. ?
Beautiful work as always. I was just a bit cursious, you did use the circular cutter without tempering it first?
At 1:13 it looks like it has been tempered to a dark straw colour.
Check the colour change magic trick at 1:05
Thanks Terps, I missed that before.
Great stuff, as always, but please, lemme troll you a bit:
Why wont you buy the cutter set? How cheap are you?
Jeeeze. Make a tool. And a tool makes another tool.
Ok. That was serious.
above my pay grade but nice vid.
And all that in 3 minutes :O
;p
Building a tool to build a tool...
So essentially making a tool to make a tool
Toolception
Making tools to make tools...
huh
impossible
What is the difference between a monkey and a human? A monkey can use tools, a man can make tools.
Would someone with Coprolalia Tourette's have their writings censored?
This guy must take 40mins to brush his teeth.
First 😁
Congratulations 🥇
Please don’t do that , using a file to find out if it is hard. Of course it’s hard, you just hardened it. ( retired toolmaker )
