This hand tool has rather delicate tips, so a hex body will stop it from rolling off the bench.

Gorgeous, super excited for the full video.

Kevin Reardon

Tease. Where do I stuff the dollar?

Drew Keats

Fantastic. Watched it 3 times, and I just want to see the full video even more. I must admit, I'm looking forward to the etching videos of this series. Your clock series inspired me to design a GPS synchronized regulator clock. I have a feeling after this series, I'll be wanting to make calendars and eclipse predictors and a home forge!

Richard Thompson

Amazing... The final product will be epic!

Brilliant. Btw. Before starting the next big project could I suggest a short series in between. I would for example love a 4-6 video series on you making a custom dial or a test indicator.

Chris, Looking forward to my Clickspring icon dinging I have a quick unrelated question, looking for Grobet files but it says cut 4, cut 6, what do you use, suggest ?? And what does cut mean, fine ,course ?? Thanks Ralph

clickspring

Hey Ralph, the cut is an indication of the rate of metal removal; the higher the number, the finer the cut. A small selection of tri-cut files from 2 to 8 is a great starting point, and then build with other profiles as each job calls for it - Cheers :)

As Marie Kondo might say, I've come to "find joy" in a couple of things since finding your channel. One, seeing key, minor, maybe even irrelevant parts fastidiously hand-filed then lapped to a mirror finish. Two: Brass chips. I eagerly await your next video.

I really like these updates.

I have the video showing the construction, polishing and then bluing of the screws for the carriage clock favourited for just that reason. It's cathartic.

So loving all the little things that you are doing to teach us history and how things might have been done. Keep up the great work.
