The fixtures this dude uses to make his fixtures look and function better than anything I've ever made
Chris really makes precision and beauty look so effortless
😂
*THIS GUYS TOOLS* are better made than anything I have ever owned
Honestly I come here just for the fixtures
Yeah..
Babe wake up, new clickspring video
*THIS GUYS TOOLS* are better made than anything I have ever owned - and I include the Rolex I used to have.
A 18min clickspring video and a this old tony video all on the same day. Life doesn't get better then this.
yeah, i kinda wish tony would get over his gardening phase though!
I was thinking the same thing! There are very few videos I'll drop most things to watch immediately, and it's those two. Never knew I needed to know so much about power pruners, but now I know. You never know what Tony is going to do next and that's one of the best things about his videos
Only thing that could make it better is if Inheritance Machining also drops a new video
ToT and clickspring upload on the same day!! 👌
That's probably because they got back from a time travel ... travel together.
Plus Blondihacks. The trifecta.
What is ToT please? 🤔
@@AKATEATime This Old Tony
@@AKATEATime Yeah, This Old Tony. Be sure to look through his video list!
What blows my mind about this, is how amazing and thoughtful the jigs and fixtures are to accomplish his goals.
This guy makes beautiful jigs to make beautiful fixtures to make beautiful tools to make beautiful projects.
Always a great day when a new Clickspring video suddenly appears!
Appreciate you watching mate :)
This is not tool making. This is jewellery for lathes. Just amazing :)
😲
16:55 I came for the Clickspring, but I stayed for the laugh
Raining, vacations and a Clickspring video, this cannot get any better
Clickspring videos: replacement therapy for cat video addiction 😋. Beautiful, masterful technology art.
They’re workshop tools. But Chris treats them like they’re jewellery. And they look like jewellery WHO but a master craftsman bothers like that? It’s amazing. Thank you!
And suddenly the world sucked a little less today! Thanks for sharing:))))
Agreed! Just what I needed today.
All you can do is shake your head in disbelief as you watch. Chris cant miss! What a satisfying SNAP at 13:56
Knife makers take note. That trick with the sandpaper on the brass that was the same diameter as the endmill. Looks like a fantastic way to make perfect guards!
Most people would be fine with just a few large screws clamping things into place. This guy makes everything into a functioning piece of art.
Which is why we keep watching :D
I have exactly zero use for a card press. Then Clickspring made one. Now I want a card press like that and think that no home is ever truly complete without one.
Functioning art - or jewelry.
Love a new clickspring video!
Just when I thought my night couldn't get any better, along comes a new Clickspring video!
whenever clickspring uploads, it is a good day :)
As always you produce practical tools that look like jewelry.
There is not a time I don't learn something and there is not a time I don't come away fully charged and inspired.
Brilliance indeed.
This Old Tony and Clickspring on the same day? Hold still my beating heart.
I'm a woodworker, so I'm way out of my depth here, but this work is just plain stunning. Holy Cow! Functional and gorgeous, to boot.
It was sooo satisfying to see how you've finished that complex surface using the sandpaper-on-a-stick in your mill, not by hand. Like, "he's not a god, he's still one of us mere mortals!" ha ha
I know I will never be machining pieces in my lifetime but, what I take out of these excellent videos you make is the attention of detail and intent you teach. Planning, measuring and measuring again then performing actions can be applied to pretty much everything in life.
What I find most amazing is that he uses superglue and doesn't stick his fingers together.
This dude making JEWELRY.
The level of care and precision is refreshing! Love what you are doing, mate! Cheers!
Those fine chamfers done with the abrasive stones are just superb. My machinist brain has a machinegasm
Verry good looking royal de luxe fixtures.
Cripes my little 1976 sherline lathe would take one look at that first cut and give up right there !
This is art. The finesse and cleverness of how he can make tools to make his life easier - definitely are at the level of those ancient genius (like those behind the Antikythera mechanism).
The way the edges sparkle after the stone is just awesome.
As always, watching you work is a true joy and a feast for the eyes.
The finished product looks like it was made on a CNC machine!
The quality of the work and the editing is unmatched. Thank you for sharing your expertise!
But don't discount the camera work! This is an outstanding production all around!
I cant imagine how much effort, planning and pre production goes into these videos in order to get them to this level of precision but we all really appreciate the work mate and the videos are tremendous. Excellent work
Thank you so much for your videos, I am a Bladesmith and over the years have learned several valuable techniques from you that I still use regularly. The single most important aspect of creation you have taught me is patience and attention to detail, You have made me a much better craftsman and artist, Thank you!
Using the fixture to cut out the profiles on the lathe was extremely clever.
Chris, I love that you put in the extra effort to put a grain on the clamp jaws. Functionally it makes no difference, but it makes for a beautiful tool and beautiful tools are fun to use.
Nothing better than watching a master at work! His fixturing ideas are impeccable! Well done Chris! 👏 legend.
I always find myself leaving your channel feeling both smarter AND classier. Great stuff as always.
Thanks for uploading! Seeya later.
I'm simply not clever enough to work out how Chris achieved the domed top surface? I know he angled the chuck and I've watched that part of the video three times and I still can't see how it happens! I think he's a magician, pure and simple!!! Another amazing video, thank you so much for sharing it with us.
As it happens, the dome appearance is an illusion. It is indeed a simple taper, but the curved perimeter throws the eye a little and makes it look domed. Great to have you watching mate :)
Oh boy both a video from Clickspring and This Old Tony at the same day, what a weekend...
As always, Chris, your work is beyond reproach.
Wow !
I always have to get my environment just right before watching so I can fully concentrate and appreciate these videos. Phenomenal!
The fine line between machining, and art.
There was a drout, when Clickspring-videos very a rare occasion, and each one coming up turned out to be a pleasant experience, each part a masterpiece witnessed by the camera.
Now these videos come up regularly! And what can i say? The mastership of his art still shows and even this many videos in a short time do not take away the slightest of the fascination watching him do his thing. Consider me a fanboy, my hat is off to you!
I wonder how much of that drought was caused by Chris taking time to co-author and publish that scientific paper about his research of and what he learned from reproducing the Antikythera mechanism. I can only imagine how much time and effort that took for someone as focused and detail oriented as our soft spoken host.
How has he only got 631k subs, this guy is a genius and an artist
In our ADHD ridden world, Chris must be triggering for a lot of people :D
Brother, I really like watching you turn a chunk of metal into art
your workmanship and attention to details is insanely excellent
I love that the beauty of Chris's projects is always at least as important as the function.
YAY. G'day Chris
Fantastic piece of craftsmanship on the parts and the fixture . Thanks for the video and the inspiration to perfect the craft myself .
Watching you make this is pure mindfulness!
The sheer production value.
My brother recently asked me what type of deburring tools we use at work. Knowing him I said you'll need them all.
I forgot about the fine grain grindstones though! 😆
The attention to detail is astonishing.
You always amaze me. Your level of detail is excellent. Thank you for another exceptional video.
The level of craftsmanship in such a simple part is incredible.
I can suggest a minor improvement to this procedure. Call the clamps 1, 2 and 3, and the sides A and B. When machining the curved sides, you did 1A+2B, then 2A+1B, then 3A, then 3B, for a total of four operations. Instead you could have done 1A+2B; 3A+1B; 2A+3B for three operations.
As always I leave another of your video gobsmacked as to how brilliant your work is
This put a big smile on my face, purely satisfying!
Rediculously good. I would have never thought of turning them.
Wow excellent work.
An excellent video, as always. The idea of mounting the mandrel wrapped with emery paper in the mill is genius. Thanks for sharing.
One of my favorite channels. You're a global treasure
FWIW three clamps could be made *and* fixture can be balanced throughout as follows: clamp A side 1 + clamp B side 1; then clamp A side 2 + clamp C side 1; then clamp B side 2 + clamp C side 2. Top notch job, thank you for sharing.
Almost, but notice that his fixture requires both clamps to be in the same orientation but on opposite sides of the plate, so it can only do a left surface on one and a right surface on the other. He could still do it in three operations, but it has to be done just right:
A1 + B2
C1 + A2
B1 + C2
It is a very mathematically pleasing sequence of operations though.
So nice to see a new video in my bell.
this is art and skill combined!
hi Chris, can you please do a video where you show all the deburring and finishing tools and stone you use. I'm sure that with your experience you have put together a quite refined and purpouseful selection of them and i'm really curious to learn about it because It always stuns me how well you finish yor parts and i'd like to be able to do that too.
Thanks for sharing Chris, always a pleasure watching your work.
These clamps are so sexy. As always, beautiful work Chris!
Attention to detail on those parts is top notch!!
What can one say? You’re amazing Chris, and leave me stunned whenever I watch one of your videos. The only thing you make that I have managed to copy was your scriber! Mind you, that’s doing very good service, so thanks. Les in UK
That is just next level stuff. Damn. He's a master craftsman's master craftsman.
Never underestimate the power of a Clickspring video to brighten a day up!
Always a Pleasure 👍🏻
The Patek Phillipe of hand vices. absolutely amazing.
Just making some art pieces and calling them tools!
I'm always amazed at how putting things off center or putting the lathe at an angle creates curves in ways I can't see in my mind until they are being done... and then its like "oh, of cause! I can see how that would do that." My mind doesn't see things in the 3d moving space; only the shape of the object in isolation. Your vids are always fascinating.
so true. When Chris said he was going to use the lath to make those jaws I could not see it. Until I saw the holding fixture he made. I saw the light then!
I watch your videos for inspiration. your channel is a clear demonstration of what it is possible to achieve and what a person can do with his own hands. Incredible. Remarkable. Bravo!
Amazing! Best lunch break ever!
Thanks Chris, that was fascinating. I picked up some pointers and gained inspiration all at the same time. Nice work! 👍
Chris, thank you for uploading videos. The attention to detail that you put into your work really inspires me to do the same in my work.
god level machining
Your workmanship never ceases to astound me. You truly are an artist.
16 seconds after the alert bell and 176 thumbs up! And 1,3 K views!
That's what quality material gets you.
@@dikkie1000 Best “machinist porn” ever!
Patreons get an early view.
just wow. So awesome to see something I will never need or use made so expertly. Great work
Such beautiful work👍
Such a joy to watch, listen and learn. Thank you yet again 👍
Your fixtures are just as beautiful as your videos. And the parts you make are stunning.
Please pretty please, when the clamping plate is finished show us how it is used in watchmaking.
Will do :)
Beautiful work of art, that also happens to be a tool. Superb fixture and work planning, to get an outstanding result!
Phenomenal craftsmanship as always .
Thanks to you and superglue, I’ve totally changed my workflow and save a ton of time now in the shop. I’ve stopped making softjaws almost entirely and it saves me a ton of time. I have a few flat aluminum plates I swap into the vise and glue most parts to those now. I do mostly small runs of very small fussy parts and it’s shocking how little bonding surface is required to hold the parts. I have like a dozen different vises and stops for like 2 of them, so supergluing a piece of scrap to the top of the jaw is a fast way to set a stop.
Incredible work!
Ah darn your good, thanks for all them little tips and stuff it all adds up! :-)
A true pleasure to watch. I had no idea how you were going to make these and in your inimitable way you wade it look obvious as only a master can do. Definitely one of RUclips's masters of fine machining
