Thank you & update!
Added 2023-08-29 02:34:41 +0000 UTCHi Folks,
Thank you so much for your patience with the release of the next few videos. As it happens I went on a bit of a journey engraving the Watchmaker's Faceplate, and it ended up taking a tremendous amount of time to complete. The good news is that I filmed all of it, so I have a fun chill-out engraving video in the works too.
Again, thanks for your patience, I will have them out as soon as they are complete.
Cheers,
Chris.

Clickspring
2023-09-01 10:33:00 +0000 UTCYes the long one is indeed quite long, it is already well over an hour of start-to-finish engraving footage, with still a bit more to shoot for the end to tie it all up in a coherent ending - Cheers :)

2023-09-01 10:28:24 +0000 UTCI'm looking forward to the chill out video! Can I ask if you're intending to do any further videos on the Dial Indicator build Chris?
Mark Slatter
2023-09-01 05:39:19 +0000 UTCThat looks fantastic
Alex Pretty
2023-09-01 05:28:20 +0000 UTCNow that was a little bit overboard...I love it!
Kevin Reardon
2023-09-01 01:53:05 +0000 UTCGoddamn, Chris, that engraving is gorgeous. I can't wait to see the video showing us your arduous hour eye to complete it. Thanks for always giving us your best content, it's greatly appreciated.
Jose Martinez
2023-08-30 21:30:58 +0000 UTCIt’s interesting how distinctive your style is when you haven’t been doing this all that long. Just from the little I’ve seen in your other videos, I’d have known this was your work instantly (well, obviously I’d recognise the faceplate so some other workpiece you’d never shown that was in no usual way ‘Clickspringy*’ to really test it). Keep on with whatever you want to do, that’s the point of having this support from us after all. We’ll be waiting whenever you have something new to show us. 👍 *Not strictly a word yet but may be if you continue dazzling us with your excellent work. I’ve watched quite a lot of Tested videos recently and you’re living in Adam Savage’s head rent-free! Several different videos when he’s shown the finish of metal workpieces especially in brass, he’s had to cover it with ‘not Clickspring standard’, ‘hardly Clickspring but I’m happy’ etc… If I’d known in advance, I would’ve been writing them down for you. Always got to be a nice little ego boost when other makers hold you as the gold standard (brass standard, maybe?)
Sam Bishop
2023-08-30 02:26:09 +0000 UTCI'm also looking forward to see how the faceplate is used. It's something I'm considering making. I have most of the tools but not the skills yet. However, I will be very unlikely to reach the level of achievement of the faceplate even before the engraving! Thanks Chris for all your work, it always makes my day happier😀
Richard Gardiner
2023-08-29 20:35:03 +0000 UTCChris, I'm Pretty sure that belongs in the Guggenheim, although I know it will be used to create the next epic Clickspring project. Now I understand the practice time! At first glance I thought it was mirrored but it is Not. Just all connected by flowing stems and leaves and overlaps...loved the 3-4 dots theme!!! Think I found my next inspirational background pic. for the slideshow on my PC! Perfection takes time...I'll be here!

2023-08-29 15:42:04 +0000 UTCSome years ago, NASA sent a spaceship into deep space, bearing various man-made artifacts to show the aliens what we do. If they had included this faceplate, it could have insured our ultimate immunity to alien hostilities. "We can't risk attacking them; they're demigods down there."
Leonard Solomon
2023-08-29 13:41:32 +0000 UTCNo worries, Chris! Rome wasn't built in a day, and if we're getting to see how that whole piece was done, I think we can wait as long as necessary.
TwoRavens
2023-08-29 12:26:56 +0000 UTCBeautifully done! I’m in awe not only at the skill involved to carve that design out of the stock but also at the creativity in coming up with a pleasing layout in the first place!
Mike Michelizzi
2023-08-29 11:47:06 +0000 UTCI can't wait for this video. Your quality is the reason you are my sole Patreon. Engraving is a black art to me. Looks amazing Chris. Take the time you need to make it excellent.
Tom G
2023-08-29 11:26:32 +0000 UTCReally looking forward to this video, hope it's a long one! ;-)
Ian Douglas
2023-08-29 07:59:47 +0000 UTCI wouldn't be game to use the faceplate for fear of messing up that beautiful work!
Jeff Armstrong
2023-08-29 06:50:50 +0000 UTCWooooooow.
Paul Grodt
2023-08-29 05:34:29 +0000 UTCAbsolutely mind-bending the hours that must have taken... It is such a treat just to look at it. Very much looking forward to seeing any part of the journey on any of your projects.

2023-08-29 05:20:05 +0000 UTCMore importantly, do we know how old Chris is... He might just have a "young" voice.
Andrew Smith
2023-08-29 05:11:27 +0000 UTCAs long as you finish the Antikythera thing before I die, Chris, then I'm good with your tangents. (I'm 60.) :-)
Sean Kirby
2023-08-29 05:09:54 +0000 UTCThat 1000 hours in 12 minutes chill out video remains one of my favorite YouTube videos ever. I'm very looking forward to whatever you put together.

Duncan Luddite
2023-08-29 02:54:54 +0000 UTCThat looks so ornate. If I didn't know better I'd have sworn it was a well looked after antique! Can't wait to see the process.

2023-08-29 02:42:49 +0000 UTCHave you given up on the Antikythera mechanism?
Daniel Shattuck
2023-08-29 02:41:30 +0000 UTCLooks like some kind of ornate steampunk over-designed belt buckle. Looking forward to the videos. I'm willing to wait for quality
