Watchmaking - Making Carbon Steel Hairsprings for Watches, Clocks and Other Small Mechanism.

I am amazed that someone let you quench in their meditation pool.

Invented in the 1500s by the sea monks of Denmark, springs were created to fill the gap between winters and summers.

Seeing those springs after being heat blued might be the most beautiful thing I've seen this year.

Chris, your workmanship never ceases to amaze me.

I worked in the spring industry for many years, and we made hair springs on cnc machinery. The modern process for large scale manufacturing is significantly different than yours, but I am very impressed by the quality of your finished product. I was not expecting them to look as good as they do. The polishing of the drawing rollers and other attention to the surface condition of the wire is great.

The cinematography of all of these videos is purely mesmerizing! Thank you for another top-notch upload!

Once again Chris, you prove we stand on the shoulders of giants. Beautifully done.

I will struggle to sleep until I see you making the segmented spherical spring forming mandrel!

I'm a long time subscriber and lurker on this channel. I have been blown away many times by your skill, knowledge, ingenuity, craftsmanship, cinematography and precision of your work. But this time, I am forced to comment. This may have been one of the most amazing videos that I have seen on this channel. The superlatives do not exist to describe your work. You, sir, are absolutely the GOLD STANDARD to which all others should be compared. I am so deeply impressed. Thanks for all the awesome videos!

Just completely and utterly awestruck. The spherical spring was stunning and it seemed almost an afterthought to get the video to the 20 minute length, whereas it deserved an hour long video in its own right

I have watched a lot of YT makers and I can honestly say compared to all of them your dedication to precision and detail easily makes you a cut above. A true master craftsman.

Your video craft aligns with your instrument craft, matchless

Awesome, I always love a new Clickspring video!

When you first started this project and said it was going to be a dial test indicator I was a little under whelmed but I had no idea there would be so much awesome tool making and cool engineering ! Most people agree that your video work is top notch but very few people recognise just how good your audio tracks are too ! They are some of the best I have ever heard and I don't say that lightly ! I know what it takes to create perfectly balanced and blended audio of this standard and I really appreciate the effort you put in to achieve it ! Great skills all round, craftsmanship, video capture, lighting, audio, editing and narrating, I cannot fault anything you do ! I hope you are getting rewarded for such high levels of detail and craftsmanship because you really deserve to be Chris !

RESPECT! Your methods, skills and teaching are always Superlative! Thank You!

Brought to you by the man that uses tools to make tools that make tools. This was so satisfying to watch!

Your patience and delicate in handling of the material is something to aspire.

What an incredible job on cinematography and a perfect execution on explaining this process. Once again Chris you knocked it out of the park.

Man, seeing that first spring come out so beautiful was truly breathtaking!

I've gotten into making my own dials on my little CNC machine, building watches from off the shelf parts, and can service a movement, but progressing to the point I can call myself an actual watchmaker that makes watches (even with CNC tools) is a long road indeed. I think Clickspring is what initially got me on the watch work graph and it's been a really fun rabbithole to go down.
