      @ClickspringClips I recently viewed a video on YT by a team of researchers from UCL led by Tony Freeth. The video was released 3 years ago, and they seem to think that they have now solved the workings of the front of the mechanism. I assume you are aware of this. What are your views on this progress ? Does it seem viable ?
      Cheers.

    The only reason I don't ask how you can possibly have the patience to make those thousands of little cuts on the file is because I would get the same "What are you talking about?" look I give when someone asks how I can have the patience to obsess over some fribbling little detail while restoring a pen. XD

    is the hand cut better than the machine cut?!

    • @ClickspringClips
      @ClickspringClips  Месяц назад +3

      In some ways, yes. If you watch the really cruddy looking one with the most coarse teeth, that thing just tears metal off in long spiral chips, like no file I've ever used before. The finer cut files are certainly good enough to explain the work we see in the wreckage, but not so good that I'm tempted to swap them for my Grobet's for watch work! Cheers :)

    Apologies if you’ve explained this in a past video, but why do you quench with water on some items but use oil for others? Is it specific to the metal? Thank you

    • @ClickspringClips
      @ClickspringClips  Месяц назад +4

      Its a marvellously complex topic! In a modern context, the quench media is as per the manufacturer requirements - O2 is oil hardening, W1, water etc. It mostly relates to the alloy requirements to form sufficient martensite, as well as controlling cracking; water quenches much faster than oil. In the experimental archaeology context of the Antikythera build (eg this video), I quench in water to adhere to the 'minimum viable technology' principle. I found that my simple carburised iron 'steel' quenched well with just water, so, water being obviously available back then, water it is :)

    How do five sided broaches even work, they have nothing on them that looks like they could cut metal?!

    • @apinakapinastorba
      @apinakapinastorba Месяц назад +1

      I guess scraping rather than cutting

    • @_BLENDRR
      @_BLENDRR Месяц назад +4

      They're reamers .... I'm not an expert (definately not), but I believe broaches gradually enlarge a hole by pushing gradually 'larger' teeth through a hole to enlarge it - and I'm guessing many shapes are possible
      A reamer is rotational and removing less material in a hole practically at size already - so it doesn't take much really - between scraping and almost burnishing.
      Anyway - that's my guess 🤣

    • @bl4cksp1d3r
      @bl4cksp1d3r Месяц назад +2

      this is an eight sided reamer. It has sharp edges that scrape away material gradually via rotation. A broach is cutting material by pushing each step through a hole. With a reamer you cna only get round holes, while with a broach you can get different shapes like squares, triangles, keyholes, and more
