Swiss made Grobet - Cheers :)

Hi Chris, when you're not making your own, what brand needle files do you recommend?

David

Chris, I would love to hear at the end, your time and effort into the build, and an idea of what you think was a reasonable build time in production. You have spent a long time documenting the build, but if there was one maker, would they have been able to create 10 over a lifetime? And then, how long before wear in the gears would have created a problem in the system that would have caused a loss of accuracy?

Αλλά φυσικά!

Don't you mean "Ευχαριστώ φίλε!"

Ready and waiting Chris, I will wait and be ready for when you produce your next marvel in this series! TFS, GB :)

Thank you mate :)

Thank you mate!

The paper has been published, you can view it here: https://bhi.co.uk/antikytheramechanism - Cheers :)

Ha ha! Terrific mate :)

This is the most labor intensive part. Granted, thinking how to build the damn thing took a lot of effort, and trying to figure out what it really said is also labor intensive, you are still doing one of the most important studies into this device.

I ended up making a slight adaption of that vise for my home "shop" (it also doubles as my office, so only hand-held and mostly not powered tools for ease of stowing). Still no fancy way of clamping it, I am using just an ordinary clamp.

Wait - you're MAKING something and doing a VIDEO about it? LOL - yeah, take the time you need. :)

Not going to lie, every time you post an Antikythera video, I'm half expecting you to just start talking in Koine Greek. Keep up the good work!

Chris Muncy

On a side note: How's the peer reviewing going on your team's paper?

Chris Muncy

Good morning Chris! The work pause button has been pressed as anything from Clickspring takes precedence hehe.

Funny how tool, once made, finds its uses. Even if its ancient vise design.

Clickspring

Yes it is, although its getting used for almost all small parts work now, I find it indispensable. I will do a full roundup of the tooling as a summary video at the end of the project, there are still a couple of key tools to add to the collection - Cheers :)

Thank you mate :)

It might be interesting to see at some point how the historical tools you made are holding up. For example the leather on the vise is starting to show its use over the years.
