Re: Chris from Clickspring just dropped an new Antikyhera fragment video
|
The video was absolutely mesmerizing,?showing the construction of a primitive lathe using just hand?tools. (Even Dave Gingery had feeler gauges, rulers and other precision devices for his homemade shop, but this guy doesn't even have those).?
As he says, this primitive lathe is rather like a watchmaker's turns, the precursor to a watchmaker's lathe and still preferred by some watchmakers today.? The video shows turning between centers, which nowadays is hardly ever used today, even though it's the only way to repeatedly remove and replace the work in a lathe without losing precision alignment.
But I'm wondering, if this is video #11 in a series, where are 1-10?? Not everybody would have the patience to watch them?all, but he should at least tell us how we can.

How to bootstrap an ancient greek metal lathe:?
All of the Antikythera Fragment videos are very
worthwhile, imo, almost more than the main vids, because they¡¯re
about making the tools to make the thing.
He cheats, a bit, because he already possesses the
knowledge of turning so it¡¯s not entirely starting from scratch,
but then the Antikythera mechanism itself didn¡¯t spring fully
formed de novo from some ancient supergenius¡¯s mind. There had
to have been a long tradition of metalworking of complex devices
to get to that point.?
