- Hey folks,
Recorded some time ago, this new-to-RUclips series is all about our favourite subject: Tools! Do please enjoy :)
If you'd like to see more of this on-going #shoptour video series, let me know in the comment below.
Cheers,
Chris.
By the way, there are some great videos out there on these vise sub tables/mini pallets/pallet vises. Tom Lipton's is well known ( • Mini Pallet Lathe Oper... , Colin from CompEdgeX did a great one a while back ( • Mini-Pallet - Final , as did Keith Rucker: • Building a Mini Pallet...
Of course if you don't want to drive yourself crazy drilling all those holes, you can buy something similar machined to NYCCNC perfection from John Saunders here: saundersmachineworks.com/coll...

Thanks Chris. I just bought a big chuck of aluminium (like, 30 minutes ago) to make a pallet for my rotary table. These little clamps are also now on my build list.
Awesome, love yer vids mate :)
Which we shall get to see you make? Please!
Presso and Clickspring. You guys are artists.
The rest of us will expect a video series on that Preso.
Hey folks, Recorded some time ago, this new-to-RUclips series is all about our favourite subject: Tools! Do please enjoy :)
I'm a little disappointed they were not polished.... lol
Thank you so much Chris!!
good to see you back mate.... it's been a while... 😉
Keep them coming!
Much enjoyment. More, please!
Please, sir, might I have some more please?
I'm request dozens more please?
Unbedingt
More!? You want more!?
More!?
Catch him!
Snatch him!
Hold him!
Scold him!
Pounce him!
Trounce him!
Pick him up and bounce him!
Ahhhh ok! I see what you did there!!
Somehow you've made that tiny space feel 10 times larger throughout your videos, that alone is incredible
I'm quietly convinced that's because Chris rarely shows more than his hands, so we don't get a human for scale. I see him make tiny components, and only realize how small they are when he picks them up and I can clearly see the ridges of his fingerprints.
Well done Chris. Love your work.
Blew my mind! I imagined this being much larger! Very much larger!
I thought its 5 m x 5 m... Honestly.
But where are the windows? I could have sworn his mill was near a window...
@@Ryan6.022 there’s definitely a window in some of his videos with the engraving machine
Ok... The fact that Chris is making the Antikythera mechanism in a 🧹 broom closet has now made an already impressive project even more amazing.
It's like surgical!
It's amazing how he makes everything look so elegant. With that Kiwi 🥝 accent. Kinda like Christmas when he uploads.
@@melburn8514 too much brass.
@@whenvfx Kiwi? Sounds Australian to me.
Just checked his website, yep, he's an Australian
It's a pretty broom cupboard!! but definitely a broom cupboard. My work shop looks like a factory compared to the cupboard.
First I was stunned by how small your workshop is, then I remembered that you film there ... Holy shit! It boggles my mind how you get so excellent shots! If you haven't already made one, a video about your filming process would be awesome!
I second this!
... and my axe
@@thespiritofyoink 👍
Absolutely need the Behind the Scenes episode showing how you do the filming!
I'm amazed at how much high-quality work you put out in that tiny shop! Further proof once again that attention to detail and method with simple tools can outperform complex machinery in the hands of a skilled craftsman.
I'd love to see some of your tool storage solutions in that shop. Everything must have a place, and there's only so much room to work with - I'm sure there are some interesting solutions you've had to come up with to fit everything in there.
Also proof that when it comes to machining, Chris is second to none!
I would also very much be interested in how you store/organize your tools and stock. And, a little side question: where do you keep unfinished projects, if you keep any?
Yes please, please show some storage solutions. One benefit from such small shops is that there is no room for clutter or mess: Everything has a place, and if it is not in it's place you can't work!
I would like to see that too.
Chris, put me down for the Storage Solutions video as well. I need all of the help that I can get! 🤢
Mark from Melbourne Australia
That workshop ! You'd have to go outside just to change your mind 🙂
Keep these coming please Chris.
My wife commented "That's why he's so good at sticking to one task!"
There is an automated mind changer in the far right corner...
@@freddupont3597 Where do you buy them?
Mark from Melbourne Australia
Given he lives in Queensland iirc he can go outside to do any hot work he needs to do. Plus given the climate the number of houses with a basement you could put a shop in likely approaches zero. 😄 Even Stefan before he moved his shop upstairs had a pretty small shop area given everything he had in it.
In my head your shop was at least 4x that size with a big table in the middle.
Amzing what you are able to do in that area!
Exactly what I was thinking all along!
No way is your home workshop this small. I still remember where we started 7 years ago with making a clock and honestly it always kinda seemed to me like you are some super rich person that went somewhere into a pretty nature place and work on videos like these as a passion project. I am always amazed and speechless when I see how much genuine effort you put in both your work and the videos. I would honestly love any content you make :) It's always such a delight to see a new upload
Amen
I refuse to belive this high end quality videos came from that tiny lovely shop. Man congrats, you are one of the best here.
I rather think THE best here.
@@Watchyn_Yarwood Old Tony?
OK, WTF, how do you make such amazing work in so small a space! This makes your work even more amazing!
And then manages to film in a way that makes everything look grand and glorious.
I find myself starting to hate Chris a little. That is just too much capability in one human being ;)
I saw a bunch of other people mention this, but thought I'd throw my suggestion in the ring too, since you asked. A tour of any/all filming and lighting setups, camera stands, or rotary fixtures, gadgets, reflectors, flags, any equipment that you use that helps you to get the beautiful results you do would be a real eye opener and a masterclass to to the rest of us. That gear (to me) is as much a part of your workshop and channel, as the tools and projects that we see through the camera and screen. Looking forward to the rest of this series! Thanks, Craig
Wow I knew your shop had to be small but that is a lot smaller than I expected. It's incredible what work comes out of this tiny space!
This might be a tricky one but, I'd like to see how you set up your filming equipment for different shots when making videos such as this and the Antikythera mechanism. Especially curious now that we know how tiny your workspace is
Dear lord, all the ultra high quality projects you've turned out over the years have come out of walk in cupboard...!!
Mind blown. 🤯
Thats actually really cool of Mitte-bites to do that with the design files. I love when companies are open like that.
That shop of yours is actually my dream shop. Everything is just one slide of the wheelie chair away, I'd never have to stand up or bend awkwardly over machines.
Not too many things might be more interesting than your exquisite collection of tools!
Please feel encouraged to the max to upload mor videos like this one!
Excellent! I've missed the more instructive and narrated videos.
Thanks as always for sharing your work.
Like all of your videos, a sense of scale is so difficult. Your parts always seem much larger before you reveal their size and now I can see that your workshop is the same story.
Love it. Make more, please.
You could still do a shop tour, you know. There's a lot of goodness in a very small space. It's supremely organized, and I think a lot of people would love to see the minutia, and how you cram all your stuff into a small space.
Cheers from Manitouwadge, Ontario.
That's a seriously efficient use of space!
As always, I am speechless at the quality of both machining and filming that you achieve.
I was shocked at how tiny your workshop is. A Wardrobe seems spacious in comparison!
Thank you, Chris!!! I’ll no longer complain about shop space limitations…
Yes, please continue showing more details of your gadgets and how to make. Thank you so much for sharing 😊
Hey Chris. I've been following you since a friend of mine turned me on to what was your first like, nine episodes of the skeleton clock build. Circa 2014-2015. We both find your work calming and extremely satisfying to watch.
I started this video blown away by how small and efficient your workshop is, and -- then I thought about it and started laughing at myself. Your builds are ALL tiny, beautiful, and carefully engineered, why WOULDN'T your workshop be?!
I love this already.
Love this step by step that you do for us.
Even on short videos about easy to create parts.
I'm learning so much.
Thanks and please keep it up.
My jaw dropped when o saw the size of your space. Truly mesmerising you create projects of the complexity and quality you do not alone film them as well. You are truly a gift to us all.
I absolutely love how the size of the space is completely disproportionate to the quality of the products you make. You are indeed a master.
The lyrics to the tune should continue like this:
Tools! Glorious Tools!
Yours if you machine them!
Keep going... :)
No, you can't have mine,
It's fun doing it your-self!
Youre the type of guy to bring people a solution before they have even agreed what the problem is. Amazing work keep it up
In my last machinist job I was the mighty bite king, they are so versatile! That was all I did was make parts flat and parallel. Rings, plates big and small parts of all shapes and sizes. I miss that job LOL
Glorious indeed! I'll put my vote down for many more of these videos please Chris 😁
Brilliant idea for the eccentric screws! When I first saw these I thought it would be outside my ability but thanks to a great explanation I recon I could make myself a set of these :) Thank you
Super helpful, please continue! Work holding is an art often overlooked and one of the most important steps. Nothing worse than an almost finished part slipping.
Okay! It looks like my trailer workshop will be good enough after all. Screenshoting this for inspiration and motivation. Thanks for the boost.
Holy cow! The size of the shop makes the videography even more amazing! Thanks for sharing Chris!
That is the most organized and clean shop in the universe.
Definitely more please! Seeing the cupboard under the stairs is put to good use after Harry Potter vacated it.
Thanks Chris. My to do list only ever get longer!
that beautiful little gem of a shop is *classic* clickspring! it's the the quality of the person, and his machining, that makes it seem infinitely larger to those of us who only imagine it.
If the title to this video was "shop tour" I'd have clicked immediately. Still happy to have stumbled upon your work, it's incredible.
Thanks for the suggestion, title amended! Cheers :)
Enjoyable as ever. Keep these short Tool Tours coming, they’re greatly appreciated. See you on the next one, mate! Stay safe. 🥰
The rose engine is such a facinating , complicated bit of kit. When I see some who actually knows what all the inputs do and can achieve a good result, it’s magical. I’d love an in depth tour of all the workings. Always glad to see you posting Chris 🍻
I would have never guessed you churn out your trademark high-quality work from.....essentially a closet. Incredible.
Всё гениальное - просто! Снимаю шляпу, перед коллегой!
And I thought Superman was the most incredible thing that came out of something the size of a phone booth. Absolutely amazing!
I absolutely love your short tool making videos. even if I don’t need the tool the principals of the designs help my creative process.
now I understand, why your shop is always so clean... it simply has to be 🙂
I love videos that show any type of tools, jigs or accessories being made. I probably wont need them or ever use them, but I have to make myself a set now !
I will never again complain about space limitations in my work areas. Holy beans, you're a wizard with that space!
I love this format! Please upload more of these. I think most of us would agree that any clickspring content is cherished
Two videos on the same month? Must be my lucky day!
Any clickspring video is pure gold!! We just need more of them!!
This is the kind of "peak behind the curtain" that I think will spark the imagination of other makers. Like many others I thought you had a much bigger and more complex shop. It's encouraging to see that you don't need a $100k machine shop to produce incredible results. Just an enormous amount of patience and learned skill.
Goes to show you that you don't need a large shop to be awesome. Just a good mind and knowledge. I really appreciate the way you explain things. Thank you.
It might be a good idea to offset the hole in the hexagon as well, so that you can adjust it a little more easily. Although, if you didn't need anything like that until now, you probably won't need it in the future.
Anyway, I love your small workspace! That's the dream (at least for me) - compact and useful.
I lack the necessary discipline you use to keep it all going in a tiny space. Once, long ago, I had my entire worldly goods with me on a bicycle tour - still couldn't find anything in the tent...
You are a gold mine of resource and technique - thank you always.
I've never done any of the things you show in your videos but I think I've watched every single one of them with amazement. You just make it sound so simple when its clearly really complicated
Great stuff Chris, I look forward to seeing some more of these!
All of your videos cheer me up.
Terrific to have you watching mate :)
The visual production of even simple things is just simply amazing. I would have never guessed the 'workshop' was literally one room.
Oh, yes please, Chris! I'm already slightly eccentric, but I'd love to know more about The Joy of Hex.🤭
Wow, i always expected this shop would be something like Jamie from mythbusters has, like a warehouse absolutely full of tools, turns out its a garden shed that hardly fits a motorcycle if it's empty!
I can't wait to see every bit of it in great detail, this is absolutely amazing!
OK, Chris. I have to admit, I am completely shocked by the size of your workshop. I had the impression from your films that you worked in some kind of beautiful open Atelier with tons of natural light and windows and all the rest of it, and acres of open space between tools. To see it's all so nicely folded and packaged into a tiny room like that gives me hope for my own home shop. I don't need to buy that 40 foot shipping container after all!
Consider this a positive response, and please make more of these videos! :)
I will never ever use this for anything, but I am always amazed at what you do and how yo do it. Thank you very much indeed :-)
This is the most amazing metal worker channel I found on RUclips. And his shop is, by far, the smallest. Now I feel so much better about my tiny office at home... 🥰
I have been watching your videos for quite a while now, and I was blown away by the size of your work area. I just had this idea that the shop was a huge sprawling machinists' paradise. Much respect for the quality of work and videos you put out from such a compact space.
Thank you. Look forward to others like this.
The size of your shop just proves you don't have to have a whole garage full of "stuff" to produce some very nice pieces of work.
what a great way to hold us over for the 8 months it takes for an antikythera episode. i always thought your shop had a window
Hmm well from years of watching your videos I NEVER would have guessed that your workshop is basically a closet... absolutely incredible!!!
The way you made the excentric screws is freaking brilliant.
I'm shocked at how small your shop is. To think not only the artefacts, but all of the filming, originates from here is... Inspirational to say the least.
Youkve proven it is not about the space but rather what you do in it! Brilliant!
With that bombshell, I feel like we need a behind the scenes video on the production of a video in that minuscule shop. My mind is just blown!
Nice, very nice. Sometimes one just simply need to make one's own tools. Because it is all about "Tools! Glorious Tools!
I always had this sneaking suspicion that your shop was small. Like, really small. But I had no idea just how freakin' TINY it is! The fact that you have turned out such immaculate beauty from that tiny little space... it just makes everything that you do that much more impressive.
Genius. I never would have thought to offset a work piece in the lathe to achieve eccentricity. Thats just inspired ingenuity. Amazing.
I had a rough day. I appreciated this video. It let me escape a moment and be someplace else with someone who has made a thing that fascinated me. The ancient tools, methods, and recreation of the Antikythera device are some of my favorite videos.
Holy crap. I need to rethink the efficiency of my workshop.
That’s astounding.
I could have sworn you worked out of a garage or shed, that small of space is mind blowingly small for amazing creations you churn out. Much respect
Crazy how clean you keep things, especially in the videos. My shop looks like a packrat in a tornado.
i've always pictured a big shop with windows all around, a door to the backyard where you had your forge and casting stuff. The machines also seemed bigger in my head, either way, big work small shop, keep up the good work and videos :D
I could not agree more. Please do a lot more of this kind of stuff. By this video here I have learned a very simple way of wedge holding work that is simple enough for the hobbyist machinist to make and use. Thanks Chris.
"If it gets a good response".
I don't think anything you post could get anything less than a great response!. Thank you for sharing as always! This gives yet another thing to add to my pile-o-good-stuff.
I'm blown away by how small your shop is, from all your filming over the years and the amount you've got packed in there I'd assumed it was fairly large.
Very cool work as always
I am both shocked and even more amazed at your skill after seeing your shop. That is a highly packed bundle of awesomeness right there.
Honestly Chris the worst part about this channel is......I HAVE WATCHED ALL YOUR VIDEOS MULTIPLE TIMES!!!! HAHA I love your content chris its like therapy for me and I can't get enough. I hope you and your family are healthy and well
Great holding devise which I will be making on my next shop time. More tips are always welcome.
I love to say something intelligent, relevant and insightful. But I can’t get beyond “Wow !”……….and more Wow!……just beautiful.
I'm absolutely dumbfounded at how small your workspace is! All these years, it appeared you had a much larger area to work in. Bravo
Thanks for the honest tour and the supreme quality you put on all your videos, even the "less important" ones. This sends out the greatest of all examples: there's no "less important" features or machine operations in a shop. All quality work requires one to focus as if there isn't another thing but the task ahead.
It is so good to hear your cheery and delightful voice! Thanks for the artfully done and comprehensively explained video, as always, Chris
Yes! I have no interest to start metalworks but I'm interested how things work and are made :) More please.
You know that if Mark Presling is going to borrow one of your ideas, then it must be a bloody good one. Congrats
Just wow! Couldn't have imagined that your shop is that small and highly impressive that you can get such high quality of work done in such a space and still have the space to set up your camera's.
I would love to see how you store and organize your tools in such a confined space.
I always thought the extremely tight angles on a lot of your shots were a stylistic choice, but now I see it's also informed by your available space! Absolutely wild what you accomplish in such a small space, and an inspiration to everyone who might not have a ton of room to set up a shop themselves!
Absolutely love this format, btw!
I've been watching your videos for years, and I knew your shop was small, but there's still less than half the amount of space to move in there as I thought.
Love the new series. Showcases of your shopmade and/or favorite tools will be very interesting to see.
At this point i dont think it is even possible for you to make bad content. Everything you do is amazing!
reminds me of Adam Savage that literally can explain drying paint in an exciting way.
Now, I would not lock Adam into a closet and expect anything good to come out, but for Chris that seams to be his magical place which is really fascinating in contrast.
