Clockmaking - How To Make A Clock - Part 10 - Machining A Bezel For The Chapter Ring

[@MattsAwesomeStuff]

Firebreathing Dragon! Flee flee!

[@rafikispepsi]

i love it

[@MojoBombadil]

That caught me off guard

[@mikimomo97]

That bezel was absolutely gorgeous. Something I can only admire. Never reproduce. But no matter I've been watching these from beginning to end. And I must say, I'm extremely impressed at the sheer attention to detail.

[@Clickspring]

+mikimomo97 Thanks very much, I appreciate you taking the time to watch :)

[@brandonrippeonphoto]

''Let's see how it fits..." Oh it fucking perfect imagine that. Your work is amazing

[@turkeyphant]

Haha, I truly hate this man.

[@choconinny]

I think the title "Amateur clockmaking" has gone right out the window at this point! Amazing work so far!

[@ch34pskate16]

choconinny I’m hiring a private investigator to do a back ground check on this guy. Lol

[@woodworkerroyer8497]

I think it was out the window by the time he made the first video!

[@borizovskimilan]

After that part with the fleeing Ant, I paused the video , liked it and continued watching it with a smile.

[@chrisbolland5634]

There's something so.... pleasing about finely machined and lovingly made things.

[@JayBates]

You do fantastic work! Both in your machining and in your presentation.

[@Clickspring]

Jay Bates Thanks very much Jay!

[@MrPlusses]

A showman shows how difficult it is, a master makes it look easy. You are a master. I have enjoyed every video you have made. "Time keeps on ticking, ticking into the future" keeps going through my head watching this series.

[@Clickspring]

MrPlusses Thanks for your continued support MrP, very much appreciated!

[@DanieleGiorgino]

Ung, the way those parts snap together.

[@SwitchAndLever]

Wow, really enjoyed seeing how that knurled-like pattern was made. Always thought about how to make a pattern like that on a flat surface, now I know! Cheers!

[@Clickspring]

Switch & Lever Cheers Daniel!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

I've never watched how clocks are made before! It's art! Thanks for sharing!

[@JakeDancel]

It's amazing how everything fits together so nicely. It's almost like clockwork :)

[@Clickspring]

+Jake Dancel Ha ha! Very good :)

[@Bodragon]

I've never seen craftsmanship like this before. *_EVER !_* And the video production quality? Let's just say that it doesn't let you down Chris. At all. *NOT ONE BIT.* .

[@RocketFoxStudio]

You really have a God given gift with metal.

[@Clickspring]

+RocketFoxStudio I appreciate your support mate, thank you for watching :)

[@dotdissonance]

That bezel work was insane. I mean, more insane than your typical insane.... wow

[@Clickspring]

The chapter ring gets a little extra bling in this episode, with the addition of an ornamental bezel. Plenty of lathe and milling operations in this video, as well as some of my favourite activity at the moment: hand turning with a graver.

[@zachbrenner9959]

+Clickspring What mill do you use?

[@Clickspring]

Zach Brenner Sieg SX3, thanks for watching.

[@renechristmann2607]

+Clickspring Sehr großer verbrauch an Sekundenkleber :)

[@andygaras]

+Clickspring what do you use to thin the clear gaurd

[@moholo8898]

+Andy Garag For lacquer I would just use lacquer thinner unless the maker says otherwise.

[@asid61]

I don't think I'll ever make a clock at home, but I have the feeling I'll watch all of your videos. :P The way you made the knurl-like pattern around the bezel astounds me. Going down and up and indexing the rotary table each time perfectly takes a ton of skill.

[@Clickspring]

+Anand Rajamani Cheers Anand, great to have your support mate :)

[@ExMachinaEngineering]

Many of these operations may be clockmaking best practices but to me it just looks like so much thinking outside the box. I'm learning a lot, and loving it...

[@Clickspring]

+Kostas Froudarakis Terrific to hear that Kostas, I appreciate you taking the time to watch :)

[@AndreaArzensek]

I would have never guessed how you made that pattern, great video Chris!

[@Clickspring]

Andrea Arzensek Thanks Andrea!

[@MonkeyKex]

This channel is my new favorite thing.

[@ryankohl2136]

This is the best thing on KZbin. These videos are more educational and better produced than what cable networks try and pass off as programming. If I was a teacher, I'd be playing this in class. I'd probably get fired, but you get my meaning. Keep up the amazing work.

[@Clickspring]

ryan kohl Thank you very much Ryan, more on the way :)

[@thomasutley]

Wow, wow, WOW. Chris, just WOW.

[@Clickspring]

Thomas Utley Thank you Tom!

[@here2there880]

Not only is your skill astounding, but your narration and video editing is terrific. thanks for these great videos.

[@Clickspring]

+Here 2 There Cheers H2T, appreciate the kind words. Thanks very much for taking the time to check them out :)

[@kcjones679]

Very nice camera work.

[@PaulKorir]

Watching these videos is extremely therapeutic.

[@Clickspring]

+Paul Korir Hey Paul I'm glad you like the vids - it's kind of relaxing doing the machining too, especially repetitive cuts like this one... Thanks very much for watching mate :)

[@dougbourdo2589]

Good Lord, I cannot begin to imagine why there are any 'thumbs down'. I learn new things EVERY time I watch one of these videos. Super Glue, hand turning (thought was only for wood), the variety of custom arbors, face plates, etc... Thank you.

[@SimasAir]

Amazing videos. Im a teenager, but i love watch this for entertain. You deserved millions of subscribers

[@Clickspring]

+Simas Jukna Hey Simas, very pleased you're enjoying the vids, thanks for watching :)

[@nosloppyagape]

never stop performing. never stop recording for us to see. - New die-hard subscriber

[@Clickspring]

+nosloppyagape Awesome, thrilled to read that! Plenty more on the way - At least 9 more episodes of this clock build, a huge list of shop made tools (and growing), as well as the new series for Make. You keep watching, I'll keep 'makin 'em :)

[@jimmydiresta]

Brilliant!!! I assume you are lifting the quill between cuts with the fly cutter ??? For the diamond pattern ?? The video doesn't seem to show the up-and-down motion great vids always!!

[@Clickspring]

jimmydiresta Yes exactly right. The up and down of the quill doesn't really show up that well on the high speed! Lift, index, cut, lift index cut... 108 times. It took about 40 minutes I think for the whole piece. Very pleased I didn't mess up the indexing! Thanks for watching Jimmy.

[@infoanorexic]

Clickspring something in one of your other videos tweaked my interest in seeing how you got that pattern into that ring. So I came back a few to see... I bet those last 5 or so cuts had the apprehension ramped up to maximum. Did you have a kitty-Cat plan in place, just in case they didn't quite match up at the finish?

[@Clickspring]

Its fair to say I was more than a little bit nervous on those last few cuts! No real plan B... if it didn't work, there would be no hiding it. Thanks for watching and asking!

[@mywaleri7954]

Good means of production.Plus golden hands.

[@infoanorexic]

By the way, if any one doesn't get it ... a "Kitty-Cat plan" is simply a way to cover your mistakes :-)

[@jothain]

Now that's beatiful craftsmanship

[@mikemeara]

lol @2:26 I'm really enjoying this series, and it was cool to see you doing some freehand turning.

[@Clickspring]

Michael Meara Cheers Michael, just love that hand turning.

[@Harlequin314159]

Absolutely amazing. "Just gonna knock out this work of art in an 8 minute video". As always Chris, cheers sir!

[@Clickspring]

Harlequin314159 Thanks mate!

[@jpgaul]

My word... that really is beautiful at the end. It's the sort of thing that defies the idea that a human hand had produced it. Your videos are such a joy, thank you.

[@davidrahn9903]

I've watched this entire series 4 times through at least, and this is the first time I noticed the ant's lines at 2:26. That's funny.

[@MetroGradeGoods]

Who the hell clicked thumbs down?! Great video Chris, I am a self taught machinist and do not have nearly the same patience as you! I can't wait to see the whole thing come together.

[@Clickspring]

+Eric Au (Metro Grade Goods) Thanks very much Eric, appreciate your support mate :)

[@1959Berre]

"Amateur" is the understatement of the year. Each episode brings another surprise.

[@shawncrocker7037]

Oh wow! That bezel! Great machining technique.

[@calomancer]

That snap is so incredibly satisfying.

[@Clickspring]

Jacob Janson Cheers Jacob!

[@ramsdalesherman3844]

Mate only just found your videos the last few days loving you work and making way through skeleton clock build. Awesome work. 👏

[@Garageworkshop]

Amazing fit. The ornamental pattern looks great.

[@Clickspring]

Garage workshop Cheers mate thanks for tuning in again.

[@exhempknight]

I... I don't really ever comment. The bezel (and the whole clock, to be honest) is really over the top, and I had to tell you how amazing your work is. Positively gorgeous craftsmanship. Keep up the good work! Can't wait to see the finished clock.

[@Clickspring]

Chris Santacroce Thank you very much Chris, I appreciate it. I can't wait to see it finished either!

[@DaveChurchill]

Your videos are amazing as always! Such a clever way to make that bezel

[@Clickspring]

serendib7 Thanks for checking it out :)

[@gabrielmoreira7265]

Christ!! What a out standing work. You're a real pro man. I'm amazed with everything you do. Congratulations!!!

[@Clickspring]

+Gabriel Moreira Cheers Gabriel, great to have you watching mate :)

[@61066clocks]

Wow ,the custom bezel really sets off the chapter Ring, Another Great video Chris, thanks for sharing

[@Clickspring]

TIM WILSON Thanks very much Tim

[@ericbeckers2673]

You make it look so simple, amazing!

[@FailedRorschachTest]

I just watched all of your Clock-Making videos so far, and it was the best hour and a half of my day. Thank you.

[@Clickspring]

***** Excellent to hear! Thanks for checking them out!

[@bitfreakazoid]

I love how you did the bezel. Has that rose engine cut look, but thicker.Very cool.

[@joebainter]

Guy, that is stunning!

Must.... have..... more..... videos! Chris, your attention to detail is very addicting to watch. Great job!

[@Clickspring]

Custom Woodwind and Brass Cheers Adam! A couple of new ones out on Sat am Aust time, hope you like 'em!

Awesome, looking forward to checking them out.

[@mikeryan6819]

The precision is incredible.

[@JDesignSwe]

Ah come on! Thats just amazing! Well done chap

[@Clickspring]

JDesignSwe Thank you!

[@andrewmullen4003]

That outer bezel is beautiful work, nice one

[@klaxxor]

Wow! That bezel is amazing!

[@GaryTruesdale]

Wow! The parts are really cool and the video work is outstanding. This production crew is sharp. What an amazing diamond knurl effect on the bezel. Brilliant machine work.

[@Clickspring]

Gary Truesdale Cheers Gary, thank you vary much!

[@JJ_ExMachina]

I died laughing at 2:26 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWekmmh8bbRmn6s "Fire Breathing Dragon... FLEE FLEE!!!" That was a great Easter egg thrown in there Chris!

[@LoganBerger95]

I have watched all your videos about 5/6 times and every time I learn something new keep up the good work

[@JM-yp8du]

I never thought doing a pattern like the one on the outer bezel would be so simple :D

[@SirchAU]

That is absolutely beautiful work. Thank you so much for making these.

[@Max_Marz]

man the fits you got on those rings is impressive as hell.

[@Clickspring]

+Max Maruszewski Cheers Max! Thanks for tuning in :)

[@markbartlett8519]

Another fantastic video and what beautiful work. Cant wait to see the next one.

[@Clickspring]

Mark Bartlett Thanks Mark.

[@Lazywatchsmith]

Very nice!

[@sebis_tt]

It's somewhat amazing what great looking parts can be made by hand(-operated machines). I have a basic understanding of milling and turning and it is simply astonishing with which simple methods you achieve those high precision and good looking parts! It is a beautiful project and every new video leaves me speechless! Keep going!

[@Clickspring]

Bloeki123 Will do, thank you very much for tuning in!

[@ChrisB257]

Love that bezel pattern - brilliant result. You must have stacks of large stock to make all those super glue arbors! I think you'd make any clock-maker happy.

[@MilanDupal]

Thank you for posting excellent videos. I had watched all of them several times, hope I had learned some skills for my home workshop. regards Milan Czech Republic

[@Clickspring]

***** Thank you very much Milan, more on the way!

[@TheBertjeT]

Watched all your videos in the last 24 hours after seeing your make: video. I'm loving it. Looking forward to your next video.
