Astro-skeleton, The finished overview video

- The project is complete, finished and polished. It has undergone all debugging and is now ready for partial disassembly and packing to its final destination. What you see here is twelve years of a master clockmaker's work. Buchanan is, in my opinion the finest living clockmaker in the world. This machine was completely hand-built by one man. There was collaboration on design, artwork, enamel dialing, case work and technical consultations, but the entire mechanicals were the work of Buchanan.
Congratulations, it has been one wild adventure, to have made this project with you, while halfway around the world and only twice seeing it during the years that it has been in your shop. I have been blessed to have met the only man who could and did build my dream without compromise and to have had the resources to make it come true. Not many men can make that statement.
You can see this and other videos and detailed photos of the machine here: www.my-time-machines.net/astro... .

It's hard to believe one man really did all this. What an achievement.
I watched this clock getting build over the years and I'm glade to see is completed and finished for the world to enjoy as I did
Thank you. It is not often a man can have his dream built without compromise.
Why does this amazing piece of art have no more recognition than this?
There has been some, but these were primarily in specialty journals that deal with horology, clocks and time pieces. You can see downloadable .pdf files here: www.my-time-machines.net/papers_and_presentations.htm. There are also many specialty web sites that deal with model engineering and fabrication that feature the clock. One day I plan to write a small book on this creation.
@@MarkFrankclocks It's amazing, here's hoping one day I can be able to afford something similar to this. I could stare at it all day, I don't have the years dedicated to build one myself. I look forward to reading this book and appreciate you sending me the link. I will definitely check it out. Thanks!
@@MarkFrankclocks I've been wanting to build a clock but with magnetic gears
Art yes but engineering at it's best.Blows my mind.
I have always wanted to learn how to make this precious kind of machines ❤😭❤️
I used to think that the knowledge to make this kind of clocks and automatons ended up lost in time. It's mind-blowing for me to find someone else into this. ❤❤❤
I saw tour channel a few years ago, and since I got back into liking clocks I haze been searching for your cannel for a long time. I finally found your channel yay!
Absolutely incredible, I could watch this for hours. Well done.
Me too.
Incredible! 😮 Fantastic work by all involved!
Congratulations for this achievement. This one of a kind piece of many arts, is a wonder to watch each and every time.
Thank you for making it available for us to enjoy every step of the journey. And what a journey it was.
Thank you Victor for watching all this time. It has been quite a journey for us all.
You my good sir have my envy and deepest respect!
As you know my wife I have seen it in its 'native' habitat.
Thank you for arranging that meeting and thanks to Buchanan for his time. It will be a special memory for both of us.
Good luck with the move to its final home.
Thanks Jeff. The move should be within the next few weeks.
Craftsmanship at its finest, it is a kind of Antikythera mechanism 2.0
a true work of art
Oh my god it's finally done! This is an astonishing feat of engineering
Extraordinary and unique. An absolutely wonderful piece of machinery, outstanding workmanship and genius design.
Wow congratulations!!
Yes! Time machines are very real! What an extraordinary marvel, I cannot even begin to fathom the genius behind this masterpiece.
Thank you. Over 12 years of work went into this.
So many years of work... Finally finished.
Delight to watch this come together over such a long time!
Been following for years. Hope Buchanan gets a rest. Superb.
Thanks. Love your steam engine! Now all I have to do is get it from Australia to the US undamaged!
amazing.
Sir, I have seen your work over the past few years. It is amazing. Praise from you is truly an honor. It is a small world that we folks inhabit where true mechanical creativity can be brought to reality.
Absolutely breathtaking! What an incredible accomplishment!
Amazing work - congratulations!!
what a magnificent piece of mechanical art.
A truly impressive achievement!
Truely amazing.
Your channel was shared by SGD Sacred Geometry Decoded.
Absolutely brilliant craftsmanship! It's good to see a dream come to life.
Absolutley incredible achievement
Amazing. High Art.
No words... just 👏
I give up. I'll never, ever achieve even 1% of the perfection of this device.
awesome!
Good utilize of engineering skills. Keep it up..
Respect
Thật sự khủng khiếp . Người làm ra cái này đúng là 1 bậc thầy . Thật sự ngưỡng mộ .
Beautiful and amazing. But why the silent movie? It would be nice to have a guided tour explaining all the parts.
If you want a guided tour just go to Mark's page and enjoy the extensive information they (Buchanan and he) have posted over the last couple of decades.
One video, even an hour long, could not even scratch the surface, explaining the functions, the techniques and odd types of gears, and the unusual on-the-fly engineering that are part of this. Please hop over to the website with a section on this, and you can see hundreds of photos and detailed descriptions which show the entire journey from sketches, to a full-scale wooden mock-up, to construction and testing. Many, many other short videos, too, showing functions being demonstrated individually, which many of them can be.
M A G N A N I M O!!!! E X C L S O!!! 😍😍😍😍😍🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
Esto es fantastico
Why easy, when it's possible to be beautiful down to the last gear!
harrison (throwing tarp over h3): "this? oh, it's nothing."
KEvron
HA! I like that one. I can just see this in my mind. I will forward this to Buchanan, he'll like it.
BTW H3 was my favorite of Harrison's marine chronometer series.
How do i wear this on my wrist?
Can I buy this clock?
All these wheels I'm not sure if it will keep the time correctly (hahahahaah)
Once this thing was completed, the next thought had to be, how will I clean this.
Check the photos at the bottom of the page, you'll see the case. www.my-time-machines.net/my_current_project5.htm
So I was wondering why in this presentation why does the seconds hand seem to not be connected to the escapement. But when I first saw a video of this clock it looked like it was connected to the escapement. like it’s ticking like a quartz clock
Ahh. That's a great question. Our original design had the seconds hand jump every two seconds in the same manner as the pendulums that are two seconds. A direct connection. Unfortunately for reasons that are too complex to describe here, there were instabilities introduced which caused the seconds hand to act erratically; to sometimes "skate" running 3 seconds on a beat rather than two. Sometimes jam up. So we introduced what we call a 'reverse coup perdu' escapement. In a coup perdu escapement a 1/2 seconds pendulum is converted to a one second readout. Here we convert a two second escapement to one. I believe it is a unique invention we developed. You can see it here: www.my-time-machines.net/astro_04-21.htm and here: www.my-time-machines.net/astro_05-21.htm . I'm rather proud of this invention and it makes the seconds output look like a chronometer, but we retain all the advantages of a slower moving escapement in terms of wear and duration.
@@MarkFrankclocks how.. just how can I single man come up with such genius ways to solve problems. that is incredible thank you for replying and explaining it.
Thanks. The machine is like an onion, there are many layers to peel away and surprises waiting under each layer. For example, how do we obtain the reciprocal motion of a pair of compound pendulums that each weigh in at about 15 lbs. and which is virtually frictionless and requires no oil? One give away, it is not ball bearings, they do not work well in cases of reciprocal motion.
I want to know what could be a price for this machine ? I would like to buy one..... really and honest.
Greater than $2 million
I’ll happily sell my kidney and house for that

"Yeah but... does it come in silver?"
That's funny.
