It'd be nice if there was a German horologist called Herr Spring watching this.🤭
Can we get Herr Frühling to leap forward to comment on this?
Herr Lief Spring. His Norwegian cousin
@@mpetersen6 Well played!
There is one named Herr Brusche - will he do?
Finally the spring is made, now we just need the click
He provides the springs, we provide the clicks.
In this crazy world, at least there is a reliable adult constant where we can return to. Thank you Chris
Unbelievably superb workmanship, videography, music, and results. Wow as usual Chris
Have to say I really miss your long form videos of projects like you did of your original clock project back in 2016.
with my modules in Material Science in Physics, I feel useless without practicals, this is beginning to make sense. Teach us more please
Wristwatch revival: 'working with hairsprings is next level, its so hard'
Chris: 'Hold my tinnie, kid'
Great comment ;-)
To be fair, fixing a small piece is often harder than making it whole. Marshall did well.
Ironically, I find the original videos with narration to be a better chill-out experience than the wordless versions.
I don't think words could describe what you just witnessed.
Oh, wow, the moment the springs separaed, I went "that's _so_ smart"
I think it's incredible that you make your own tools and jigs. What an amazing skill ✌️
Magic, simple as. Unfolding before your very eyes.
I always wondered how these would have been made in the early years of spring driven clocks and now I know. Human ingenuity never fails to amaze me.
2 springs for the effort of 1!
so cool watching you work.
@WristwatchRevival needs to see this after the problems he had with a hairspring in his last video 😉
Making hairsprings has to be more finicky because the heat treatment must be very precise due to small thermal mass of the spring. And it is much more difficult to polish.
He's a fake
Masterpiece of spring manufacturing.👍🏴
That is so clever, maintaining a perfect spaced coil by stacking multiple material thicknesses.
Heck…imagine four hairsprings.
Making springs at home… got to be a wind up 😊
wow... those are so boinggyyyy
Next: Forming a Breguet overcoil. Don't be afraid, kids; it's easy!
Chris is making a watch! Yeah 👍
The finest craftmanship! Cheers from Brazil!
Ah more amazing work great craftsmanship and great music 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I read where the original maker of hairsprings would first make the wire flat by filing and sanding the wire with jigs he had invented to do the job. Unlike the flattening of the wire with rollers, filing the wire would have twist in the wire you would have to work at getting it relaxed in order to wind it into a coil. But I suppose the wire can be purchased flat or square as required now a days.
So cool!
Wholesome
Beautiful!
Would seem appropriate to watch This Old Tony’s spring production video to make this :P
I think it's the other way around. Clickspring is often referenced by others.
Great video as always. I like the tool, very neat.
Thanks for sharing 👍
Exquisite!
Very impressive 👍
Amazing work
Aprendice art. Tank you.
Потрясающая работа
👍😎
How do you know the right degree of temper/blue to do with it in the winder tool/capsule?
3:10 OMG you cheated us out of the heat anodization stage! lol.
ΦΟΒΕΡΟ ΜΑΣΤΟΡΑ.ΜΠΡΑΒΟ ΣΟΥ!!!!!
Фантастика!!!!
👍
You make the spring, I do the click.
What was the first quench? Oil or water?
These are my all time favourite videos. Everything stops when your videos come out. Then I feel sad when they are over.
No smoke, no flame. Probably water.
Spring has sprung. Great work as always.
Sproing 😊
If this is his home shop, image what his professional shop looks like.
Чистая ручная работа!
Now I'm curious: is there some vídeo (or a series of videos) of someone that made a wristwatch from scratch?
How did you calculate exactly how long of wire was needed? Because you knew the volume the resulting spring would take up in the form?
(2 x pi x r) + (2 x pi x (r- (spring thickness x n-1)))..... and so on
Next up. Shop made Slinky 's
What exactly did you mix the borax with?
I believe it's mixed with denatured alcohol.
@@mr.b2232- Yep.🙂 (Known as methylated spirits outside the USA.)
It's not borax, It's boric acid. Chris has gone into the whys and wherefores in an earlier video.
Really looks like a tiny weed whacker head to me… 😁
I've read about this with diagrams showing 4 at a time rather than 2, which seems to create a better spacing.
But nothing ever gets into details about the wire shape/dimensions requirements. Is this something that you did yourself? Draw plates and rollers first? Or is this purchased wire?
the master i need more
Where can I find out what grade of steel is used, and what is the white paste that’s surrounding the part before heat treatment?
It's so easy once you see how it's done. 🤣
@Chris I'm curious. How well does the jig hold up to the repeated heat treatment cycles?
Where did you get he winding die? Maybe I missed it...
So you're making springs with different spring rate here I guess?
Project tool? Brasil. Good morning.
neat, but why?
Is there something you cannot do? I doubt it.
Don't know if it's just me, but the video quality is not up to the usual high standard. Sort of a third generation VHS copy. Anyone else got the same problem?
To answer my own question. It must have been a dicky Internet connection. Just watching it again and the normal high-quality production is back.
