1000 hours of clock making in 12 minutes.

Cool video.

Something satisfying about watching machining. Crazy skill to build something like that.

What's that process where he makes it turn blue? Some kind of metalic reaction by leaving it near a certain metal?

Been keeping up with that guy after AvE plugged his videos. Not only did he make all those parts, a lot of the tools he used were also made by him. Amazing stuff. Whatever the price is he's asking for that clock (if he ever sells it) is well worth it.

Photo etching.

Are we allowed to imbed videos of horologists working?

That is crazy. Makes you wonder how they pulled off similarly accurate mechanisms so long ago without the benefit of things like power tools.

Should be in the garage babe thread.

this.

Wow. Is 100K hours of experience to do that enough? And I'm assuming he's not ADD.

Awesome video. Watching someone who is an absolute master of their craft is so entertaining.

It would take me 1000 hours just to sketch the design... and that sketch would probably be horrendous.

it is just heat tempering steel to leave an oxide coating aka heat bluing. he covers it in one of the detail wip vids. there is also a watch maker website with an article on historical use of bluing screws/parts.
short version: iron/carbon oxide layer is transparent and thickness causes reflected light to interfere with itself filtering out certain colors.
other industrial bluing can be done with chemicals or oven treatments.
