Being a non-native English speaker I had to search for the right word to use. “Exquisite” describes it well: “marked by flawless craftsmanship or by beautiful, ingenious, delicate, or elaborate execution”!
-
I, as a mere mortal, could not watch more than two minutes without stopping due to an overwhelming sense of "I do not deserve to experience such perfection".
-
this is amazing, everything you make is like a tiny art peice. i would watch the entire uncut process at regular speed no matter how long. this is extremely satisfying to watch
-
Is this guy even real? I mean what the actual?????? How does one manage to do this and not die from back pain??? I bow before this man! Pure respect!
-
You prove once again Chris just how much your skills have developed - not to mention patience and dedication. Just amazing work :)
-
im so stoked for when you eventually build a pocket watch (including movement and case) from scratch and we get to see all the skills you've worked so hard to develop all in one project. it's going to be glorious
-
The thing that baffles me, is how does one put a price on this kind of work? The knowledge, skill, and time it takes to painstakingly lay out and hand engrave. Beautiful work Chris, absolutely stunning.
-
You, sir, are doing what you were born to do! Absolutely stunning piece! Incredible finesse and attention to detail!
-
You're making lovely tools. I can't wait to see your watch!!!!!
-
one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen
-
Tirelessly cutting, the hand searches for perfection in the constraint of the intricate design! This was my hobby for awhile. The pneumatic chisel gripped tightly in my right hand, the left, rotating the block. Mesmerizing work, Clickspring!
-
One day I'm going to be able to do something like that. Absolutely beautiful.
-
Its amazing you taught yourself how to do this with a bunch of books.
-
We are grateful for the opportunity to watch jewels in the making, being them screws os stones or plain material, transformed. Thank you.
-
Bloody hell! Marvelous.
-
Must have been a challenge to stitch together that many clips and build a story. Beautifully told, hypnotic to watch.
-
Absolutely Stunning !
-
Amazing patience and skill. Not something I could ever achieve. I'd guess you would make an incredible Neurosurgeon....
-
Breathtaking! Where did the makers mark go? People 100 years from now need to know who made this!
-
absolute bliss, love these chill out cuts. this and watching people make camp in snow is my bedtime youtube viewing
