Uri is in another time zone standing tall with creativity. While your friend the Post Apocalyptic is nowhere near the genius of Uri Tuchman and will never be. It’s like comparing a Master Tool Maker with with a junkyard shade-tree lawnmower mechanic wannabe. Not to say The Post Apocalyptic fella isn’t capable, he can repair a mean worn-out, out of circulation hand drill motor.

Uri, if your goal is to entertain your audience, you always succeed brilliantly. Your inventiveness, your skills, and especially your presentation are greatly appreciated. You are unique in this world, and in the very best way. Thank you for all you do. I look forward with anticipation to each new video, and I'm never disappointed. Further, I've watched all your other videos time and again. Time well spent, always.

[@pfannkuchengesicht42]

future people will be so confused when they find your tools.

[@Noble06DS]

Archeologist: it appears to be a religious object Him: hehe hand calipers

[@baldguywithbeard]

I find it rather tragic that such ornaments have disappeared from modern day tools and equipment. It's pretty clear from Uri's videos that the ornaments don't necessarily only need to have a decorative purpose - they can very well have a very specific function.

[@gresvig2507]

My thoughts exactly. I generally only buy old stuff when I can since they always paid at least some attention to aesthetics. And something like my old micrometers are just as accurate, and frankly the metal is likely more stable.

[@AndreasDelleske]

The most important function is to show that the human who made it was free to use some time for an extra. This signals that the important things have been thought through and this is what culture is all about. You express joy of living. Capitalism instills fear and ends in slavery. Even nature is enslaved now but will shake us off.

[@user-pp3em5mc3m]

It's a mistake that ornaments are perceived only as ornaments, that is, as a pleasant extra. I am convinced that beauty is an essential human's need, so ornaments are very important in things and buildings. I would say, function is good but without beauty it's like life without love.

[@AndreasDelleske]

@Aniquin "Caitalism" is no fixed idea, just like "socialism" which are not even mutually exclusive as most north-european countries except the UK clearly show. Even the US was most prosperous when taxes were highest in the 1950ies, 60ies. There will always be something between the extremes if a society wants to survive. Let's not talk about words. The US is very "socialist" because the 1% get bailed out any time. Just the poorer 90% don't profit from that.

[@oldfarthacks]

@@gresvig2507 This is the advantage of old tools. Through the passage of time, all the stresses of making the tools have worked their way out. The normalization process is complete. You can then go back in and correct any problems with the tool to have the most stable tools around. Great for machine tools and measuring tools. Also, often the patina is just fun.

[@JohnBailey39]

Accurate to the nearest foot. Stunning work as always.

[@frodobaggins169]

It's been a real treat watching you create a thing of beauty out of brass and a few other odds and ends. Bravo!

Uri himself has made the comparison before: Uri is like Clickspring if Chris had a screw loose.

[@waynebooker498]

Uri, It makes no difference if it's sloppy and inaccurate, it's just soooo cool to look at. You are the MAD SCIENTIST of the maker community!

[@SilverFox-1212]

URI, the first stone tool was a Stone and then with that stone tool a SECOND tool was made. 😱😱 Beautiful work as usual.

[@davidhelmuth5707]

In the beginning.... Most early tool were hand made by the craftsman for the purpose that they needed. It was also a way for them to show off there skills. You have done all that!

"I used the caliper to make the caliper." -ThanUri, 2020.

[@thomasarussellsr]

Uri, that has got to be the most beautifully inventive tool recreation I think I have personally ever seen. I knkw there is no way I could afford to buy it from you. But I would love to have this, whether it is a functional precision tool or not. Just pulling this out in a college classroom would be enough to make a professor never forget a student. Pulling this out in yhe work-place would leave the foreman/boss remembering the employee forever. Having this on your desk in a display case working in a design firm of any sort would impress clients and be a conversation starter for sure. This is functional art whether it is precise for scientific purposes of not, and it is absolutely beautifully crafted as well. Awesome job and great attention to detail. The bird, hands, and foot/leg are great little sculptures all by themselves.

[@Cellottia]

You're amazing! You have a lovely quirky imagination, the design skills to turn an idea into reality, the fabricating skills to do the same, and such a keen eye for sculpture as well as the necessary ability to shape both metal and wood absolutely beautifully! You're a marvel. I really enjoy your work. Thanks for being there; Katherine from Kent, UK
