I liked it a lot you are so close why can't u make a slide bed for the bottom of the lathe it seemed easy for u to make the small one for the bit holder

[@stevenedwards4470]

Have you ever done a piece about how you got started doing this and your education or apprenticeship as the case may be? I think that would be interesting.

[@fixitfast110]

its perfect you know you will make it work. 🙂 because of the awesome things it can do.

[@ThatBassistK]

Uri is an inventor, engineer, machinist, woodworker, etc. but he is, first and foremost, an artist. His art, however whimsical and abstract is always functional and that's what I's appreciates about him.

[@thijsrikkerink6333]

A true renaissance man

Is THAT what you appreciates about him?

I told my dad (a woodworker) about your lathe build - he immediately said "he'll be making a rose engine next." Can't wait to show him!

[@81Schalk]

That's a really lucky guess considering Uri talks about his plans of making a rose engine next in that video.

[@Johnny-jr2lq]

[@bigbossimmotal]

This video demonstrates what is wrong with the world today. Not enough Uri! I am loving every minute of it.

[@geoffreypiltz271]

I thought I saw several hinges.

[@eadgbefreak]

Uri you are part Rube Goldberg, Salvatore Dali and Frank Zappa all rolled into one! I love all that you do and even your "failures" are masterpieces! Keep up the good work!

[@robinafoubister]

That has to be the best description of Uri I've ever read.

[@sambrose1]

Here's for a little more brass.

[@Lowbrow_Mthakathi]

Having watched an insane amount of Uri Tuchman videos/projects, I can't help but note the man's genius, talent and skill, but there's more, the animations, the singing, the oddball humour, the funny ticks and dropping things. I'm unwilling to call autism, but this is a level of artistic quirkiness the regular man cannot hope to reach. Truly one of God's own prototypes, we are blessed as a species to have him.

[@adambooth4011]

Agree fully. I genuinely think there are elements of genius.

[@lerikhkl]

A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production

[@3xblahblah]

Possibly a touch of insanity too 😂 One of my new favourite channels

[@DaleDix]

Skill, humour, character and other traits are all too often attributed to a condition or defect. There's no indication of autism.

If Clickspring buys one instead of making one, you know it's going to be a rough one. Loved the movie .

[@StefanGotteswinter]

Is the machine the piece oft art or the workpiece? So impressive, I love the mix of components. Wood, modern industrial components the old machine parts, such an anarchistic approach, i love it.

[@bufordhighwater9872]

Piece of art and workpiece are synonymous.

[@nirgosh]

So nice to see that master Stefan is watching maestro Tuchman. Both of you are on two ends of a spectrum that in a strange non euclidean way, aren't that far from each other.

[@keilwerth04038]

Yes! You're so right 👍

[@computername]

Levels of Madness. If setting up a workshop in your flat, building your own lathe, using your own lathe in your flat, getting into rose engines (and perhaps just buying one) is not enough.. heck why not just build one from scratch. Uri you are in the most positive way, the craziest madman in this "scene". A true artist but also a master of the craft. Everything you do makes me think of what it was like in the 18th century and the enlightenment, when scientists built their own instruments. During this time art, craft, science synergized into something bigger than life. It's the "figuring things out" nature of your projects, that makes this so authentic. You manage to make mechanical engineering fun in an absolute unique, beautiful way.

[@t.d.3803]

When Uri makes random noises it's charming. When I make random noises I get called into the boss' office for "being disruptive." Maybe I need to make the noises with a french accent?

[@Ph4n_t0m]

That, or you're in the wrong line of employment! Bemused muttering is a career goal for me!

[@08ryanalollipop]

Drilling into a random piece of wood and forgetting to clamp it down is so relatable. I love your whimsical editing style.

[@fouadsharif2327]

Uri....I am a 70 years old tool maker and I do love your work....even if they do not work.....hats off for your ingenious ideas

[@RJayFlaming]

19:55 seconds of watching a man go insane. It's glorious. Don't ever stop. I need this in my life.

[@campbellmorrison8540]

Im impressed with what you can make with fairly ordinary gear, no fancy CNC or precision equipment. An artist is probably the best description.

[@MisterTalkingMachine]

I showed my girlfriend your astrolabe video and she said she wants an engraving kit, so I followed your engraving chisel video and made it, thanks Uri. By the way I used a steel rail from a CD drive to make the chisel and it seems to work fine

[@dancooperish]

I love it when someone appears too mad to know what they're doing, but when you see their work, it's clear they absolutely do know what they're doing.

[@YMandarin]

man these intros get trippier every time

[@xaxabogbart]

Haha :D one of my favourites I watched a while back coming up on two tabs of acid, it was perfect, the bandsaw video - his silliness, the randomness, just great

[@timtakespics]

Uri - I've said before and I'll say it again - Your videos are a breath of fresh air - Thank you

[@kelsey_watson]

An impressive effort in both project and video! Well done! Most of the attachments developed by Holtzapffel and others on OT lathes were intended to recreate the motion of a rose engine at a more economical price point for the time. In my experience, none of them work as smoothly as a proper rocking rose engine when they try to rely on the same cam motion of the rosette, but can achieve great results in their own right when they don't. The spiral apparatus and reciprocator are both very effective and you have made a lot of the parts for both in this project. The reciprocator produces a sine wave which is the main geometric component of many of the rose engines best patterns on the sides of cylinders. There are also historical examples of OT lathes converted into rose engines that offer a lot of ideas to the foolish such as myself. I've been lucky enough to work on many of the Holtzapffel attachments as well as a lot of time on proper rose engines and I would be happy to share what I know. Feel free to reach out!

[@DarinNelson-w5v]

Upthumb for the attempt, comment for the result. I was briefly concerned that it might Just Work; so relieved that we'll be seeing more of this in the future. A joy as always.

[@martinedelius]

I'm absolutely thrilled to witness Uri's transformation into an unstoppable force of chaos and whimsy. 10/10, no notes.

[@peterthinks]

Uri, I just want you to know I really have noticed the increase in production quality and creativity 👌. Your videos have gotten so much more entertaining over the years. The music, animations, editing. Really top notch! Thank you Uri.

[@devilononeshoulder]

the humor in this video is top tier. Subtle, quirky and actually funny. i enjoy your editing style immensely.

[@nokbeen3654]

Watching Uri is probably like watching the pioneers of machining and watchmaking 200+ years ago. Absolutely marvelous. Edit: The madness is also an utter delight. I Wonder why machinists/mechanical engineers always are a bit crazy.

[@johnsims5330]

long ago, i came up with a theory about an algorithm that foretold of a correlation between "crazy" and "great". there is some relation there, i just cannot see it.

[@SuperPhexx]

Dude. Machining all those pieces to required precision is pretty impressive. However. Figuring out _how_ all those parts should look like is very impressive. HOWEVER. BOTH figuring everything out AND make all the parts is insanely impressive. People are usually good at none of them, a few are good at one, but exceptionally few can do both.

[@dalewheat]

More brass = more beautiful. Keep plugging away at it, Uri. We expect to see some more pigeons added, as well. Always worth a look at whatever you dream up. Thanks for taking us along.

[@T0tenkampf]

This is my first time watching the channel. You are a skilled maker, I love how you seem to be just throwing something together but are actually taking time to make the tool beautiful.

[@jimhood1202]

So entertaining. You are living out the dreams of millions of engineers and artists. Speaking for myself, I'd be crushed to have put so much work into a project and not be happy with the result, but your good humour is a lesson to all. Thanks for brightening my day.

[@supermintymints]

In all honesty: every bit of what you share with us is beautiful art. The videos are beautiful and charming, your machines are always lovely and fascinating, your fine art painting and illustration - and ALL of your techniques - are genuinely refreshing and delightfully interdisciplinary. I don't know whether gallery shows are something which interest you at all, but the idea of traveling to Europe in order to see a multimedia gallery exhibit: "The Upside-Down Pigeon: Selected Works of Uri Tuchman" is one I think about from time to time. I have no way to know how to make this sort of thing happen, but if there is a way for your fans to help make it happen, I hope that you will let us know.

[@alanmuddypaws3865]

Uri seems to be descending into madness, but it makes for compulsive watching. The quality of the editing is superb, and those animations are just sublime!

[@asailijhijr]

Oh wow, that is a fun optical illusion. At 8:47 it looks like your lathe is cutting the work to make it wider, a move which is actually impossible. The optical illusion is formed by the lighting on the uncut rotating part, which appears narrower than it is, incorrectly.
