5 Skilled Artisans Making Stuff by Hand

[@maria_manias]

I feel like the antiquarian horologist and the automatons guy could really take things to the next level if they started a company together

Mad respect for the fist lady, for making the parts she needs herself, if she cant find the part

[@OliverSallander]

pretty common for horologists to do that, many older watches does not have any spare parts to buy. We are learning to make watch parts with a tolerance of 0.05mm(~1/32 inches) in school.

[@ellieblunden1463]

@@OliverSallander okay? That doesn't make her work any less amazing.

[@OliverSallander]

@@ellieblunden1463 never said that either. Just informing people that it's common practice for watchmakers. She still makes good quality workmanship.

[@ellieblunden1463]

@@OliverSallander it wasn't that you were saying that it was common practice, it just seemed as though you were trying to make her accomplishments seem less impressive. Anybody who can do that kind of stuff deserves a lot of respect because of how much patience and technical skill they have to have :)

[@OliverSallander]

@@ellieblunden1463 No, if I did that I would make my own accomplishments less impressive too since I'm studying to become a watchmaker.

“They were done by ways that I couldn’t even do myself. They were done by candlelight, they didn’t have electricity.” Got to me so badly, it made me realized the craftsmanship they had at the time CRAZY man

[@ms.chuisin7727]

They probably had a workshop with a big window, wake up early and work mostly in daylight. Saw the video from Van Cleef & Arpel, he said it's better in natural daylight but he was working on jewels so maybe it's different. But I think it's probably the same back then.

[@Gloomysushiroll]

Globes are cool and all but just like traditional maps, they aren’t accurate. Since the earth is round, you can’t make it flat, and since globes are odten perfect spheres, a lot fo accuracy is lost. Which is why in a way, Satellite Maps are a lot better. However, I do love the aesthetic

I am so impressed with all of this! As a full-time craftsman myself, everyone in this video is outstanding. The lady at the beginning blows my mind. That is beyond brain surgery. Seriously it really is. The guys who make the carousels.... they have been partners for 30 years!!!!… I would give anything to have a partner in my business or someone interested in the same things. someone close by, we could grow alongside each other and enjoy the craft together! That’s the real joy of craftsmanship is having people to enjoy it with! They are so blessed. Sometimes I go months without talking to another luthier! It gets lonely out here

[@Angel_Billy4-30-23]
