Do you reckon that thing was one of a kind, or there were multiple made but only one survived? And if multiple were made, would they all have came from a single shop, or the knowledge of how to make them might have spread?
Me: “Man, I wonder why it has been so long since Chris uploaded a full-length video on the Antikythera build? OH…..because he’s been HAND CUTTING A BUNCH OF ROUND FILES!”
I love how this is not simply about the reconstruction of the Mechanism itself, but also a deep dive into the fabrication of the tools that were needed to build it in the first place.
I have a friend who's generally level-headed and sensible, but has a deep fondness for conspiracy theories about "ancient aliens" and the like, with claims that many structures and artifacts couldn't be made with the tool technology of that time. Sending him these videos makes him SO ANNOYED, but in a very funny way :D
@redwitch12 I think the only difference between what Chris is doing and how the actual one was made is that there were likely specialist tool makers, and the people building the mechanism likely just ordered their tools from them.
I did the same thing. In fact I was actually watching another RUclips video. That’s how much I find everything about this topic and how Chris is dealing with it, so utterly fascinating.
Happy to do that, I've been waiting for another video of this!😃 The story of this analog computer is so amazing, I enjoy every videos of its progress and your explantions, and the tools you making for it!😊
Hey, buddy! REALLY enjoy these videos. This is somewhat unrelated, I can't recall if you're from NZ, or Australia. I'll be in Sydney in late June. If you're in NZ I don't think it would be possible given my scheduling, but would love to get to meet you in person if that's possible. If not, I'll settle for the videos, lol.
Seven and a half years in working on this masterpiece of ancient (and contemporary) technology. Not only reproducing this long lost knowledge but also reimagining all the necessary tools that were needed to build the mechanism itself. Chris, what you have achieved is more than any other craftsman and youtuber could ever think of. Just amazing
Has it really been 7.5 years since Chris started on his exploration of the mechanism? I tell you that those Covid Lockdowns that we had in Melbourne have really messed with my sense of time.
I don't remember the details, but there was a watchmaker that invented his own escapement that would only teach how to make it to watchmakers that had built a whole watch by themselves, movement yes, but also face, backing, crystal, dials and bracelet - and did it to exquisite level of perfection.
"giving tremendous authority over the material to whoever is driving the file" this man has such a way with words that keeps the narration extra interesting. great video!!!!
I'll second this. He's clearly immersed his mind in the scholarly work behind the Antikythera, and well-educated. Next time my ignorant ass is in the shop, I'm announcing to my wood pieces, "I have tremendous authority over you!!"
he's listed as a contributor in some peer-reviewed archeology papers. That's pretty exceptional for someone who's not specifically trained in archeology!
This is one of my absolutely favorite series. Watching someone rebuild manufacturing techniques from scratch while making an incredibly complex machine of unknown origin is endlessly fascinating. I love it~
I honestly hope some university awards you an honorary PhD for your work in this Chris. The attention to detail, and depth of work going into understand and recreation a lost piece of ancient technology along with the processes and tools used to make it are beyond what many researchers do for their thesis
I know people, all older, who think there's nothing edifying on RUclips. And I can't show them this video, because they won't even understand what's going on. Thanks for keeping things transcendent here.
@@Clickspring 😂😂❤️ Watching from Adelaide. Actually have an elderly jeweller/watch-smith in the shopping complex close to our house, and I’m tempted to make him an offer on all of his equipment so I can pretend to be you once he pulls up stumps. Amazing stuff Chris. Awesome to have you back….. for a bit 🙏🏻
In this age of doing everything as fast as possible your videos are a welcome reminder that going slow and paying attention to the finer details can be its own reward. I admire your skill and patience. You ability to do much with the simplest of tools is something to aspire to.
When I last wasn't feeling mentally too great I speed ran watching all of this series, it honestly was a welcomed distraction that I came to adore so much. So excited to see an update in the series!
You know what’s crazy? When he started the antikythera mechanism build, I was single. As of this video, I am happily married with a dog. This series, including these fragment videos, have been with me for a lot of life experiences and hopefully will remain for many more. These videos will forever hold a place in my life.
Same (switch dog for washing machine 😅). A friend sent me his first couple of these to help distract me from a truly horrible breakup that nearly ended me. This video dropped during my honeymoon to an even more (far more) amazing woman than I'd even dreamed existed
As a modern day career machinist, your seires is beyond humbling. Getting a glimpse of the ways precision mechanical component's might have been manufactured in antiquity is so enlightenting. There is a saying among machinists, "Anyone can make something with the right tools, but it takes a good mahinist to make quality parts using bad tools". With enough patience, evidence shown and proved, even simple handmade files can be coaxed to produce delicate mechanical features! Thank you for the time and effort you undoubtedly spend on discovering the beginnings of what i personally consider to be the true birth of the modern age. When man discovered a way to shape not a tool, but rather how to make physical the conceptions of mechanical devices.
Spent half the video wondering where I'd seen this before, but then remembered I'm a Patron. Still watched all of it again anyway because I love this Antikythera series.
I was lucky enough to see te real Antikythera mechanism while studying abroad in Greece last year. It was so cool to see it in person after watching your videos recreating it.
The attention to details like how they would've build this. What tools, and things like that, elevates this series. Like... if you just used your modern tools and made a replica, it was already going to be fantastic. But the historical take, about tools, procedures, and trying to understand the quirkies of the design and asking yourself why it's like this. Makes this a master piece. Diffidently a Magum Opus.
I mean, that's exactly why a bunch of anthropologists went nuts over the series, and why Chris ended up caving and writing a paper on the whole thing. This isn't just a masterpiece, it's a scientifically significant masterpiece.
Me: “Man, I wonder why it has been so long since Chris uploaded a full-length video on the Antikythera build? OH…..because he’s been HAND CUTTING A BUNCH OF ROUND FILES!”
I cannot imagine how much time and effort it must take to replicate all the tools 'of the day' just to make the parts of the mechanism. But I really love watching you make them!
Very interesting and highly educational. It's not hard to imagine how highly prized these sort of tools would have been to the ancient craftsmen. Impeccable production too, Chris. All the best, Mart in England.
People have always been clever, and this is a wonderful showcase of working within limitations to prove that those before didn't need modern or supernatural technology to make complex and wonderful things. Especially when you consider how much of their lives were dedicated from a young age to their craft.
This is absolutely amazing. Not only is it amazing you have the patients to make the mechanism itself, but you have even MORE patients to make all the tools that were a part of that era. Not jus the tools, but everything that goes into making those tools (charcoal, straps, workholding, etc... the list goes on). Thanks for sharing.

Your work will definitely be required viewing material for schools everywhere once this is done.
Respect and awe. That fine cut round fine is stunning. The techniques are all so succesful its undoubtable ancient craftsmen could have worked in a similar way. Its like watching a historical renactment. A magnum opus.
This project is a marvel and a mother of invention. Birthing the construction process as much as the wonderful device it spawned. The existence of this particular section grants strong evidence that they knew the Moon to be a Sphere, and always brings a tear to my eye. The fates have allowed this work to be discovered after Poseidon did his best to prevent it. 🔱 🌊 I’ve been watching since the beginning- Bravo 👏
Thankyou for a very informative video. It never ceases to amaze me how far advanced the ancient craftsmen and tradesmen were. The technology they perfected, back then is still applicable for our so-called modern times. Progress has certainly not changed very much with hand tools.
Even though I've followed this channel for longer than I can remember every new video still surprises me with it's quality...The "bar keeps on rising", truly impressive. Best regards.
let's appreciate the fact that even if we are far away from machinery, because of chris and rewatching his videos time and time again we can possibly be the rebirth of machinery if apocalypse may occur. yes, some of us will do a shitty job. but someone else will see it and make it better, once they'll know the concept. so teaching and learning legacy of clickspring will continue. you are our hope and you deserve the title of technological light in terms or teaching the concepts and make the world a brighter place. can't thank you enough.
Fascinating, actually astonishing bit of research, things that are almost lost by the ease of grabbing a factory made one in any shop. It looks like a very good know if you have a die filer in your shop. Enjoyed very much, cheers!
The amount of detail in the first 30 seconds of footage, animation, etc is incredible. The world would be a better place if everyone had 1/100th of your dedication, commitment, attention to detail, and passion. Chris, you are one in 8 billion.
The effort you put into every video is mindblowing and very much appreciated! When I first watched your skeleton clock series as a teenager nearly a decade ago it inspired a lifelong interest in horology and precision manual machining, and I can't thank you enough. I still can't believe that such high quality content is being put out on the internet for free
The very best in craftsmanship, execution, methodology and masters skill. Been from the beginning and will stay to the end, no matter how long it takes.
You are like Daniel Jackson from "Star Gate". You are leading the world in understanding how something was done in the ancient pass. Continue to be the light in the Darkness!
This is a fantastic example of experimental archeology! I love the consideration of what the minimum viable tool for a given job is - along with the idea that you can use slightly more crude tools to create or refine future tools. Makes the antikithera mechanism seem much like a modern piece of clockwork - close attention to fine detail and good fittings is as important as good tools, if not more so.
Seeing you make smaller and more defined files with ones you have previously just made is amazing. It' makes me think that the simple tools we use today are literally a descendants of tools before them all the way back to when man first discovered how to manipulate ore into metal or even using stone to cut up wood for fuel. To me (perhaps strangely) it gives them a sort of living property. Love the videos Chris.
Yes! Whatever happened to the paper you were doing? Did I miss something?

This kind of forensic archaeology is amazing. The tools inform the design, and the design informs the tools.

Chris pays as much attention to the crafting of his words as he does to crafting of tools.
I'll second this. He's clearly immersed his mind in the scholarly work behind the Antikythera, and well-educated.

Great to have you watching mate :)
I agree. I like this channel even more than Primitive Skills, and that's saying something!
Always a good day when there's a longform Clickspring video
Is anyone else in the world doing what Chris is doing to this level of detail? He deserves some kind of anthropological medal one day
It would seem that no one with a deep understanding of how clocks work had examined it before, which is why Chris wrote his academic paper.
he's listed as a contributor in some peer-reviewed archeology papers. That's pretty exceptional for someone who's not specifically trained in archeology!

Absolutely fantastic work, as usual, sir!
years ago i end up in your channel because of the files
it's nice to see them back
The incredible amount of work to complete 1 round file, my jaw dropped when you presented more!
Such an elegance to your work. People think of blacksmithing and they think of loud, angry hammer hits and grime. Glad we get to see all sides of it.
nothing relaxes me more than a clickspring vid. thank you so much for making this series, right when i needed it most too!

Fantastic stuff. You really, really do have far more patience than I have.
4:50 I have never seen a file so sharp that it leaves such tiny beautiful swarf as that
Right? ill never trust bunnings again.
