Guilloche - Introducing The Rose Engine (Happy Anniversary, Mrs Clickspring.) Clickspring 2021-10-07 | Hi Folks, Here is an introduction video for the Rose Engine, a companion machine to the Straight Line Engine for generating Guilloché. Much like the recent SLE video I have put this video together without narration, as more of a chill out thing. The plate material is fine silver, the pattern is sometimes referred to as 'Escargot' and the pendant is an anniversary gift for my lovely wife. The enamel is from Milton Bridge, 263 Series K62 Jade. More detail on the casting & finishing of the pendant structure in a later video.Do please enjoy! Cheers, Chris.Also, be sure to check out this fantastic video of Jochen Benzinger (https://www.jochenbenzinger.de) describing and using both the Straight Line and Rose Engines to create a watch dial for Yvo Staudt: youtube.com/watch?v=SFfLWvwN1Bk - Come for the #Guilloche, stay for the accordion!And, for an in depth #Guilloche masterclass on the Straight Line and Rose engines, be sure to check out the peerless series from Roger Smith:youtube.com/watch?v=LBiiDpexmA8 youtube.com/watch?v=MS_G8Vm1gyQThe Clickspring Clips channel can be found here: youtube.com/channel/UC9UjDtkpr2I-5G51vMJZvnA Milton Bridge Enamels: milton-bridge.co.uk/products/jewellery-enamel________________________________________________________A very special thank you to Patrons:Sinking Valley Woodworks (http://www.sinkingvalleywoodworks.com)Glenn TrewittChristopher WarnockGuy LoughridgePeter John RichardsonAdam SlagleRobin HaerensBogdan DanNiels PalmannSteven R.

Guilloche - The Straight-Line Engine #1 - Introducing The SLE Clickspring 2021-09-20 | Hi Folks,There has been some interest in the Guilloché aspect of the next Patron Series project, so I thought I'd shoot a video to give you a good look at the Straight-Line Engine in action. No narration, just a chill-out sort of thing, and I will go through the process of using it in detail once I've completed the project prototypes I am working on at present.

Byzantine Sundial-Calendar 1000 Hrs Mega Edit Clickspring 2020-12-22 | It's been a year like no other folks, so its definitely time for a chill out vid. Do please enjoy this '1000 hours' style mega edit of the Byzantine Sundial Calendar project.Without doubt, I have never felt more relaxed than watching this 27 minutes sail by.Thank you for tuning in, have a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year, and I'll catch you all in 2021.Cheers,Chris.[Edit - watch this video Ad free here: vimeo.com/381269473/99c91eb996]Build info: The build is a modernised interpretation of the original sundial-calendar artefact currently located in the London Science Museum sciencemuseum.org.uk . The original artefact is currently regarded as the second oldest geared mechanism on the historical record (after the Antikythera Mechanism), and is loosely dated to around 500AD. As the name suggests, it's a combination portable sundial and lunar calendar mechanism. In addition to being a portable sundial, it computes the current age and phase of the moon, the position of the sun and moon in the zodiac, as well as the current date. I've extended the original design to include a Lunar Node display, according to the research of the engineering historian Michael Wright. This transforms the device from a simple calendar into a very effective eclipse prediction machine. It also makes it a great tool to help visualise the celestial mechanics behind an eclipse.Original Device: collection.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk/objects/co1082/byzantine-portable-universal-altitude-sundial-with-geared-calendrical-device-sundial-perpetual-calendarWright & Fields research: tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00033798500200131To view the full narrated build series and plans visit: patreon.com/clickspring________________________________________________________A very special thank you to Patrons:Sinking Valley Woodworks (http://www.sinkingvalleywoodworks.com)Glenn TrewittChristopher WarnockMike ManfrinGuy LoughridgePeter John RichardsonAdam SlagleNiels PalmannSteven R.

The Chris Ramsay Playing Card Press Clickspring 2019-09-27 | The Chris Ramsay Playing Card Press, by Clickspring.Hey Folks, you may be aware that I have been working on some research for the main Antikythera project over the last few months. So far so good on that front, although I may yet have to divert some more time back into it in the future, we'll see how it goes. For now I'm back on the video production, so please enjoy this collab with Chris Ramsay, and be sure to head on over to Chris's channel and say G'day -- youtu.be/ws99HWLzjloBtw, I have a new 2nd channel called "Clickspring Clips" for you to check out too: youtube.com/channel/UC9UjDtkpr2I-5G51vMJZvnA/.The purpose of this 2nd channel is that I figure there are a lot of people on Youtube who don't yet know that they love machining who probably skip right past a 20 minute video. So this new channel is all short clips, to see if I can rope in those potential viewers. Its mostly old content presented in a much shorter format, so if you've been watching for a while you will already have seen most of the material. But if you have the time and interest, head on over and give it a sub and maybe share a few of the clips.Cheers, Chris.Master Cardist & Magician Chris Ramsay can be found at: youtube.com/user/MrTricksforfun & http://www.chris-ramsay.comIf you would like to help support the creation of these videos, then head on over to the Clickspring Patreon page: patreon.com/clickspring________________________________________________________A very special thank you to Patrons:Sinking Valley Woodworks (http://www.sinkingvalleywoodworks.com)Glenn TrewittChristopher WarnockMike ManfrinPeter John RichardsonJeff ArmstrongPaul AlixRollin W.

But we can certainly try a few things out and see what might have been the case. So with that in mind, its time to open up a hole position that I marked back in episode 2. This is the pivot location of the E assembly, and its a perfect opportunity to make the very first hole in the mechanism using some of that ancient tool tech: The Pump Drill. 18:34 The main plate was then opened up, and the square bearing hole formed. These two positions are essentially absolute locations, governed by the dial artwork. And depthing could have been conducted from these positions before filing out this square hole. But at the risk of the position almost certainly moving as the square was formed, and so compromising the depth.20:44 The height of the Saros pointer assembly is set by the height of the bearing in which it sits, and that height can be easily set by this little spacer. I originally made it slightly oversized, but its a straight forward job to set a clearance of just a few hundredths of a millimeter, by simply abrading the spacer until the barest daylight remains between the adjacent assemblies No special tools, or absolute measurement are required. Just keen eyesight, and a flat abrasive surface.References:Gears From The Greeks - Derek de Solla Price: http://amzn.to/2pii4ZDThe CT and PTM data that the AMRP have made publicly available can be found here: http://www.antikythera-mechanism.gr/dataGear schematic can be found in Tony Freeth's 2012 research paper:http://dlib.nyu.edu/awdl/isaw/isaw-papers/4/Eclipse and Saros cycle info:http://www.mreclipse.com/Special/LEprimer.htmlhttp://www.mreclipse.com/Special/SEprimer.htmleclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEsaros/SEsaroscat.htmleclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/LEsaros/LEsaroscat.htmleclipsewise.com/solar/SEhelp/SEperiodicity.htmlbit.ly/1CjqN0fhttp://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/1006543.pdfen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylonian_astronomyen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sicilian_Expeditionen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Eclipsetheconversation.com/how-eclipses-were-regarded-as-omens-in-the-ancient-world-81248http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0103275Credits:Clips from "The 2000 Year Old Computer" courtesy Images First Ltd.Digital image of the Back Dial of The Antikythera mechanism courtesy Tony Freeth, Images First LtdFinal track is "Fading" by Sappheiros - visit soundcloud.com/sappheirosmusicOther music:taketones.com, http://www.epidemicsound.comAerial eclipse footage courtesy NASAEclipse Corona footage courtesy Joe MaddoxThe Antikythera Mechanism Episode 7 - Making The Saros & Exeligmos Train, by Clickspring

So If you're looking to track some down, be sure to confirm that they are actually made in Switzerland before you buy, and keep an eye out for the bunny on the tang. 01:22 A safe edge like this effectively isolates the cutting to a single surface, and it forms a key part of my filing technique. Because when I'm filing something that needs to be precise, like for example a rectangle thats required to be dead on center. I like to have the basic target profile formed, very early in the filing process, before I use up too much of the available metal.02:49 Next I identify the critical corners of the workpiece. These are the locations that must be well positioned for the part to be acceptable. And then I start the cut working directly towards those corners, with the objective of establishing the overall shape whilst using up as little of the metal margin as possible.03:32 And its not unusual for this last part of the process to take up most of the time. Because there's often only a handful of file strokes between a tight and a perfect fit. The very last thing I want to do is take it too far, and remove too much metal. Now this idea can be applied to just about any profile, whether it be internal or external.04:07 If I get the corners correctly established early, then the orientation can be locked in. And the whole shape can be slowly worked toward the final profile. Now of course that's the ideal, but it rarely goes according to the plan, which leads to tip Number 4. 05:36 Now there is an even more immediate technique that can be used to pick up errors, as they occur. Just prior to each cut, a light cross grain pattern can be made on the surface of the work, and then a light can be positioned to make that pattern more visible.06:14 Because it means that rather than reacting after completing a surface, I can take a much more proactive approach while the cut is in progress. And it makes creating a taper or dealing with a localised error easier too. Just mark the region where more metal needs to be removed, and then concentrate the work there.06:59 And although the effect is quite subtle, the shop itself has a few reference edges too, that can also help the process. Aligning the work with the vise, and then the vise with the bench means that all of these edges that are sitting in my peripheral vision as I work, and can now also give me cues for better alignment of the file.07:38 And the fact that its held with both hands means that there's a good controlled grip to keep it that way. So the technique is perfect for delivering a very precise surface. Its also an excellent technique help generate on 2 or more parts at the same time.08:47 And the same idea can be expanded to generate more complex shapes using guides, like for example the crossings on this wheel. The shape near the center of the wheel needs to be exactly the same for each opening, and a filing guide makes this much easier to achieve.References:"Watchmaking" by Daniels: http://amzn.to/2FH3cyh"Workshop practice Series": http://amzn.to/2DyPs2DThe Nicholson Guide to Files & Filing: http://www.nicholsontool.com/MagentoShare/media/documents/nicholson-guide-to-filing-2014.pdf8 Old School Tips For Better Hand Filing, by Clickspring

As if the technology was so commonplace, that it barely required explaining. As it happens, the Antikythera Mechanism may in fact be the very best evidence available to establish the full extent of that lathe technology, at least as it relates to smaller scale engineering.08:37 Next up are what I'm calling the collets, The parts of the tool that'll hold the various drill bits. I cast some long round stock from the same bronze as the flywheel, and then turned it down to an appropriate starting diameter. I then formed the basic collet profile. 11:15 And the same applies to these holes. They're not difficult to form, nor do they need to be terribly precise. They could be made using the lathe tech of the day, or even by using much cruder methods like gouging and then filing. To complete the part, I gave it a light sand, followed by a linseed oil finish.16:12 In any event, once created, the drill bits themselves can then be used to drill out the collets. Each of the 3 test bits correspond to a critical feature found within the mechanism. One is for a standard bearing hole, one for a standard retaining pin, and the smallest, coming in at just 0.8 of a millimeter, corresponds with the holes used to locate the calendar ring.16:39 Now there is evidence of the use of soft solder within the mechanism wreckage, and certainly soft solder would be suitable to hold the bits in their collets. But equally plausible, and I think a little more convenient, is resin. I'm using shellac, but any hard resin available at the time would have worked well. 19:58 The changeout of drill bits and flywheels is fast and easy, and the drilling time is comparable to a modern drill. Now as to whether or not this type of tool was used to build the mechanism, well who knows. But I do think its fair to say that its a contender. These test pieces compare well with the holes found throughout the wreckage of the mechanism.

And its fabrication would have likely hinged on a crucial process: The ability to take a malleable wrought iron, and transform it into something hard enough to cut bronze.00:28 I've covered the process in detail in a separate video, but essentially it involves packing an animal based charcoal and salt around the soft iron, sealing it in clay, and then heating it up to a red heat I'm using a low carbon mild steel as a substitute for Ancient wrought iron. Its soft and ductile.01:00 But there are some great examples of long slender turning to be found within the wreckage of the mechanism itself. There's a shaft that extended from the lunar phase gearing up to the phase display on the front dial that's roughly 4mm in diameter.01:16 And there are numerous other pins and shafts, some less than a mm in diameter. I'm using a modern furnace for convenience, but a traditional charcoal furnace is quite capable of generating the required temperature. Once at a red heat, the process of carburising the iron is purely a time exercise.01:51 So I reheated the rods, rolled them straight on a flat surface, and then requenched. The once soft metal is now very hard, but also extremely brittle, and so easily fractures under a light bending load. So to be of use as a cutting tool, it needs to be tempered, in this case to a light straw color.02:40 I can see this end of the rod is a good straight section, so that'll become the actual bit, and the excess will be removed at the end of the process. A gentle heat raises the temperature of the rod until a pale straw color just reaches what will become the cutting end. The material is now in a tempered state. Still very hard, but tough rather than brittle.03:23 Despite no longer being widely used, it still has a number of attributes to recommend it. The first being that its very easy to make. Because the primary surfaces can all be formed by hand, on flat abrasive stones. The cutting edges can be shaped for unidirectional cutting, or as in the case that I'm showing onscreen, for single direction cutting.03:59 And once the operational length has been decided, it can be permanently set by scoring the metal with a file, and then snapping off the excess material. 04:38 In its rigid cross section form, this sort of drill bit will often perform much like a traditional D bit. Delivering a very straight deep hole. Now there is of course an obvious drawback to the drill bit design: The need to repeatedly withdraw it from the work to clear the chips.05:36 As soon as the cutting edges start to dull, a quick hit on the stones will bring them back to original condition. Now you won't want to throw out your twist drills any time soon, but its a great option to keep in mind for those rare occasions when you really do need a custom drill bit.References:Watchmaking by Daniels: http://amzn.to/2FH3cyhThe many books and DVD's by WR (Bill) Smith: wrsmithclocks.com/dvdAntikythera Fragment #5 - The First Precision Drill Bit, by Clickspring.

And you might notice that two of the gears cancel out in the train calculation, so they appears to be redundant. But as it happens a 53 tooth gear turns out to be essential for another part of the mechanism thats driven by the first section of this train, and I'll cover that in detail in a later video Now there's a small error in the Metonic cycle thats corrected in the Callipic cycle, by essentially multiplying the entire Metonic cycle by 4 to give a more accurate 76 year relationship. And finally the Olympiad pointer indicates the passage of the 4 year Games cycle. So there are 6 wheel assemblies to be made to complete this part of the mechanism, as well as a number of supporting components.02:54 Some were evolutionary dead ends, and simply didn't make it. Some, like the single pivot idea were the origins of an idea that continued to evolve. And others were evolutionary winners from the very beginning. Travelling through time essentially unchanged, right up to the modern era. Now one idea that of course definitely evolved is the tooth profile. But that's not to say it wasn't largely effective as it was. Because despite its mechanical inefficiency, a triangular tooth profile brings a tremendous advantage when it comes to certain aspects of the build. Like for example, depthing. 04:39 In that instance the entire outside profile of one or even both of the wheels can be very slightly filed back, much like when the teeth were originally formed. So that the final stage of depthing essentially becomes an extension of the tooth forming process.12:42 so next I moved on to the pointer components, starting with the support frame for the metonic pointer. And since I'll soon need a second one of these for the Saros pointer, I figured I'd better make both of them at the same time.References:Gears From The Greeks - Derek de Solla Price: http://amzn.to/2pii4ZDThe CT and PTM data that the AMRP have made publicly available can be found here: http://www.antikythera-mechanism.gr/dataGear schematic can be found in Tony Freeth's 2012 research paper:http://dlib.nyu.edu/awdl/isaw/isaw-papers/4/The Athenian Calendar - https://www.ancient.eu/article/833/the-athenian-calendar/The Callippic Cycle: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Callippic_cycle Meton Of Athens/Metonic Cycle: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meton_of_AthensMT Wright (2005) Counting Months and years: The Upper Back Dial of The Antikythera MechanismCredits:Clips from "The 2000 Year Old Computer" courtesy Images First Ltd.Digital image of the Back Dial of The Antikythera mechanism courtesy Tony Freeth, Images First LtdThe Antikythera Mechanism Episode 6 - Making The Metonic Calendar Train, by Clickspring

So again the question naturally arises, why did The Maker choose this more difficult method?03:08 Taking care to reheat the work as soon as it started to cool down, and also being careful to not to overheat it. It doesn't take much to melt a small piece of brass like this. A light skim cut on the lathe created a uniform surface, and widened the inside diameter to be a close fit with the central cylinder formed earlier. A touch of soft solder bonds the two parts together, and fills the join in the perimeter of the band.06:57 Gradual increases in the depth of cut on either side of a single tooth, eventually leave a small triangular land at the tooth apex. At which point the carriage can be locked, and all of the teeth cut at the same setting. I took a light skim cut of the perimeter to remove the small exit burr left by the fly cutter, and then marked out the rectangular hole that will receive the driving arbor.09:49 I've found that around 0.4 of a millimeter gives a good tight radius to the bend, and allows the metal to bend easily without cracking. The inside corner on the indexing arm, that I made in a previous video, serves as a convenient square reference.12:27 The wheel assembly could be held up to B1 with a toolmakers clamp, depthed, marked and then permanently fixed in place. But I'd also like to have the back surface of the bracket flush with the side of the main plate, without having to trim that plate after the fact. So that meant making my best guess at the correct depthing at the planning stage, and essentially locking it in at the start of the project.13:18 With the input assembly position located, the bracket and underlying main plate were drilled out to accept a pair of steady pins. The steady pins now ensure the the accuracy and repeatability of the bracket position. And once clamped firmly, I drilled out the hole for the bracket retaining pin. A quick tidy up of the holes, and that's the bracket complete for now.16:44 I opened up the matching rectangle marked out in the center of the crown wheel, taking care to ensure a close fit. With the crown wheel assembled on its driving arbor, I marked the retaining pin position, which will ensure a small clamping force from the taper pin once its inserted.19:05 The friction is quite low, with both wheels showing free and smooth movement. And the gear interaction feels good too, much better than I expected from a triangular tooth form. In fact based on the feel alone, there's not much to give away the fact that its not a modern tooth profile.References:Gears From The Greeks - Derek de Solla Price: http://amzn.to/2pii4ZDThe CT and PTM data that the AMRP have made publicly available can be found here: http://www.antikythera-mechanism.gr/dataGear schematic can be found in Tony Freeth's 2012 research paper:http://dlib.nyu.edu/awdl/isaw/isaw-papers/4/The Antikythera Mechanism Episode 5 - The Input Crown Wheel Assembly

Its permanently fastened to the main Solar Drive Wheel B1, and its part of the gearing associated with the back half of the device. In fact its the first wheel in that large and quite complex part of the mechanism.01:37 It engages 2 wheels, that in turn drive the gearing that animates the eclipse prediction display, the calendar display and the lunar phase display. Now that's a lot gears, generating a lot friction. So the load on B2 and its rivets is considerable.02:04 And secondly, the scans show 4 quite substantial rivets placed in a symmetrical pattern around the spokes, that hold B2 firmly in place. Its a very neat solution that wouldn't be out of place in a modern clock mechanism. Now the central bore of B2 needs to be opened up to match the main bearing and it could be simply drilled out on a drill press.02:51 And you'll notice that I haven't used any marking fluid to make that circle more visible. I've done this to show just how hard it can be to see even a simple object line on bare metal. Even up close I think you'll agree it's not exactly the clearest line you could hope for.03:49 One to locate parts on the division plate, and one to bring all 3 components into alignment for drilling out the rivet hole positions. Now it certainly doesn't meet the requirement of robust handling, but a very straight forward marking material worth investigating is candle soot.05:02 The positions for the 4 holes are now firmly located over the centerline of each of the spokes, and can now be drilled out in preparation for accepting the rivets. And as tempting as it is to just drop in all 4 holes at once, even the slightest movement of the work whilst drilling can lead to an unacceptable misalignment of the holes.05:44 The 4 rivets were turned to size, and left just long enough to allow them to be comfortably held for insertion. By now of course a lot of the soot has worn off, so I think its clear that it really wouldn't be suitable for marking out anything that needs a lot of handling, like for example the wheels. 06:57 And then started the process of permanently setting them in place. I made sure that each rivet end was thoroughly peened, and that the metal was pushed well out into the chamfer, giving not just a seamless join, but also good solid mechanical strength. And for the final step, I used a file and 800 grit abrasive paper to blend the rivets into the surrounding metal.08:23 And as I reach the end of this video, its hard to escape the thought that over 2000 years ago, there was moment, just like this.

The Clickspring Fire Piston Clickspring 2017-07-09 | Purchase here: SOLD OUTHere is the prototype that I made back in 2015:youtu.be/UvCB3_KtSz0youtu.be/oF-KcvZjW3EWhat is a Fire Piston and how does it work? 2:42How do I use The Clickspring Fire Piston? 3:15What type of Tinder is Recommended for The Clickspring Fire Piston? 4:55How do I make Char Cloth? 5:21How do I use the Storage Compartment? 6:45What weather conditions particularly suit the Clickspring Fire Piston? 8:05How do I clean and Lubricate The Clickspring Fire Piston? 9:07What are the Components and Specifications of The Clickspring Fire Piston? 10:18Abbreviated Transcript:00:17 The Clickspring Fire Piston is a high quality fire starting device perfect for the task, and its been specifically designed with campers, preppers and outdoor enthusiasts in mind. Using an ignition technique completely different to most fire starting methods, its particularly suited to starting a fire in high wind conditions, and so is a perfect component of any survival, camping or hiking bag.00:42 Now aside from its practical use, its also a fun gadget to play with, and it makes a terrific gift for friends and family, especially those who love a device that requires a little bit of skill to use. Precision machined to exacting tolerances, this device has been built to last. The cylinder is formed from a single piece of aluminium, and has been anodized for both durability and performance.01:29 So that you can immediately start using it, there are 2 packets of char cloth tinder included in your purchase. And Instructions on how to make more char cloth, are provided later in this video. Now there are of course many other methods for starting a fire. But few, if any, of those methods are as interesting, or as much fun to use as this little device.02:56 Using the principle of Adiabatic Heating much like the modern diesel engine, the rapid compression of air within the cylinder as the user closes the piston, leads to a corresponding rapid rise in temperature.03:20 To get started using the Clickspring Fire Piston tear off a small piece of char cloth, gently Push that ball into the cone shape at the end of the brass piston. Once the char cloth is in place, Insert the piston back into the cylinder, with the end of the piston just inside the bore, to ensure that the piston will have a full stroke. Now there are 2 methods to get ignition.04:05 The main thing you're aiming for is speed of closure. You really do need to close the piston very fast. And it also heps if you can briefly hold the piston at the position of maximum pressure. 05:04 It ignites readily, and in normal conditions burns slowly. However if you provide it with additional airflow by blowing on it, or by placing it in a strong wind, it'll easily ignite surrounding material into open flame, making it the perfect tinder for starting a camp fire. 06:05 That flame soon decreases, until there's just a single small flame extending from the hole. Once this flame extinguishes, the formation of the char cloth is complete, and you can leave the tin to cool down. When the tin has cooled, remove the piece of char cloth to examine it. It should be flexible, and still show the woven pattern of the original cotton fabric.07:05 Unscrew the Piston Handle, and confirm that the foil wrap will slide loosely in and out of the compartment. When you're satisfied that it'll drop out when required, seal off the cap, and then reinsert the piston back into the cylinder. Your fire piston is now good to go for your next outdoor adventure.08:10 The Clickspring Fire Piston will function in most of the same weather conditions as the other common fire starting methods. But there is one circumstance where it stand out well ahead of the rest. And that's in strong wind conditions. 09:12 Your Fire Piston will arrive to you clean and lubricated, and ready for immediate use. However its quite normal after continued use, for char cloth residue to begin to build up within the cylinder bore, To clean away this residue, begin by dis-assembling the unit.09:54 Re-assemble the unit, and then place a single drop of light oil on the piston. Work it up and down a few times, and then close off the end cap. Be sure to tighten the end cap firmly to create a good seal. You should feel the device immediately return to a smooth action, and your Fire Piston is now ready again for use.Warning - Keep away from children, do not use indoors. Do not use to light cigarettes, cigars or pipes. Keep away from face and clothing. Be sure ember or flame is completely extinguished after each use. Do not use near flammable materials.

Antikythera Fragment #4 - Ancient Tool Technology - The First Hardened Steel? Clickspring 2017-07-09 | Antikythera Fragment #4 - Ancient Tool Technology - The First Hardened #steel One of the key tool technologies that needs to be explored around the Antikythera mechanism is the simple hand held file.

But of course when it comes to hardening those cutting surfaces, there's a problem. And its the same problem as that faced by the original maker more than 2000 years ago. Mild steel, has insufficient carbon to simply heat and then quench harden.00:37 So in this video I'm going to use the ancient process of case hardening to harden the file surfaces. It involves heating the work in close proximity to a carbon source, to absorb carbon into the surface prior to quenching. 01:54 The charcoal was then ground into a fine powder, in preparation for making the carbon pack. I mixed the carbon powder with salt and flour in the proportions onscreen, and then turned into a paste with a small amount of water. The paste was then packed ar ound the file surfaces, and then left to thoroughly dry. Now a reasonable degree of case hardening can be achieved by simply heating this carbon pack, as-is.02:59 But to optimise the chemical reaction, the process is best conducted in an airtight environment. And traditionally, this was achieved by enclosing the carbon pack in clay. Again for convenience, I'm using a modern propane furnace to do the heating, but a charcoal furnace from the period would have been quite capable of raising the clay to a red heat. And its at this red heat temperature that the transformation begins03:44 The metal is now in what's known as the Austenite phase, and has a strong affinity for more carbon. At the same time, the carbon pack is reacting at the steel surface generating a surplus of carbon that diffuses into the body of the steel. Effectively carburising the metal from the outside in. The depth of this carburisation is dependent on time.04:05 The longer that I leave it in this heat, the deeper the resulting layer of high carbon steel. So while that's cooking, I'd like to show you the tests that I did earlier to figure out just how long the steel needs to remain in the heat. I started with the same mild steel stock as the files, using a control piece and 4 carbon packed pieces. All were enclosed in clay, heated to a red heat, and then quenched in room temperature brine.05:06 The Austenite has been transformed into a hard crystalline microstructure known as Martensite. That appears as a silver-white ring around the darker low carbon interior. And you can clearly see it progressing towards the centre of the metal, as a function of time. The longer the material spends in the heat, the deeper the layer of martensite. Now a cutting tool like a file doesn't really need the hard layer to be particularly deep.07:13 Today, modern steel composition means that there are several ways to form tempered martensite, in addition to the process that I've shown in this video. And we use it in much of our day to day life, mostly without even being aware of it. But in the ancient world, before it even had a name, this is one of the ways that it was formed. Using a simple process, and the simplest of ingredients.Antikythera Fragment #4 - Ancient Tool Technology - The First Hardened Steel

But the question of steel availability is not easily answered. Certainly there was a form of crucible steel known as Wootz, from the region we now call India. But there was also the technique known as case hardening, which essentially converts the surface of an iron object into steel.01:23 The first step is to take this raw stock, and shape the basic file blanks. In recent history, this job was done on a massive grinding wheel. And although it would of course have been much slower and less convenient, similar hand powered abrasive tools are known to have existed in antiquity.02:46 No matter how much I roll the file on top of the work, it rotates so that the file will still cut reasonably flat. Ok, so with the file surfaces stripped, the next step is to form the teeth. And I need to make a few more custom tools to get this part of the job done. I've made a simple file cutting workstation, based on the traditional approach, but scaled down to suit the size of my shop.06:15 And that first tooth now becomes the reference for the next tooth. The chisel blade is slid up against it, and then the subsequent teeth are laid down one after another. Each time, using the previous cut to locate the next. 08:59 Well I'm not about to give up my commercially made files any time soon. But they do work quite well. They're probably equivalent to a modern #2 cut file, and although the cutting action is not quite as sweet as a new, modern file, its a reasonable balance between metal removal and surface finish. They're durable, easy to handle, and certainly perform well enough to have constructed the original mechanism.10:31 But there's still quite a high degree of consistency of the root angles around each given wheel. That suggests to me that the teeth were in fact formed by simply plunging the file into the workpiece, like I've done here. And that the root angle variation observed across the gearing, was in fact generated by a small selection of files cut specifically to construct this mechanism. Ok, so to wrap this one up, Its still very early days for this reconstruction. And I've still got a lot more research to do into the tool technology behind this machine.References:The Nicholson Guide to Files & Filing: http://www.nicholsontool.com/MagentoShare/media/documents/nicholson-guide-to-filing-2014.pdfThe late Ken Hawley on the Sheffield file cutting tradition: youtube.com/watch?v=FB58hkncznIA modern French toolmaking company, producing magnificent hand cut files and rasps: youtube.com/watch?v=gvr2nZeAfNcAnother beautiful video on rasp making: youtu.be/gQ09O3d8y9Q?t=3m22s A look at traditional filecutting.

In that sense any practical tooth number would have sufficed, and by practical I mean any tooth count that would provide a mechanically sound, robust tooth size.B1 has an approximate outside diameter of 132mm.200 teeth gives a tooth module of approximately 0.66 - a very chunky and robust tooth, with apex tip to tip of 2.1mm. A very strong tooth, able to withstand the input torque very well. Although it must be said approaching the point of being too coarse from the perspective of fine mechanism control.280 teeth gives a module of approximately 0.47 - a reasonably delicate tooth form, 1.49mm between tooth tips, but consistent with almost all other wheels found in the device, and so still a reasonable candidate. Perfect for very fine control of the mechanism, but perhaps approaching the size where deformation of the tooth could occur with exuberant input torque from the user.So assuming no change to the outside diameter of the wheel, any tooth count (and therefore module) in between this range of 200 to 280 would provide a tooth form that is suitable to perform the role of robustly generating movement of B1.Latest research has the actual number of teeth for B1 at either 223 or 224. However it is highly likely that the number is in fact 223.If this is the case, then the choice of 223 is remarkable.Because if we consider all options within the range of approximately 200 to 280 teeth as valid candidates, then there had to be a very good reason to choose that more difficult division candidate over the more obvious options immediately adjacent. ie Why not select 224? 222? 240? etcMy proposition is that 223 was selected out of simple manufacturing convenience. And that the choice strongly indicates the existence of an ancient division method very different to the current theory. ie One that leverages existing counts to propagate them to multiple wheels.E3 is known with to have 223 teeth to perform its eclipse prediction role on the Saros dial, so that division number was already required to be present on the division tool. Knowing that any robust tooth would suffice for B1, The Maker would have been able to directly observe that the count of 223, fits nicely into the range of convenient and robust tooth sizes for the role to be performed by B1. It would have been clear that there was no need to perform yet another large division, when a suitable candidate was already present on the tool.And so the otherwise surprising tooth count of 223 was selected for B1.Antikythera Fragment #2 - Ancient Tool Technology - The Original Dividing Plate?

Well if you strip everything away, it comes down to this. A single main plate, with a single main bearing located at its center. The front planetary display is speculated to have been positioned just above the main plate, and the rear display is known to have been located on the other side. It's a 3 tiered structure providing support and alignment for the entire mechanism, and you can see that it has features spread across all 3 levels, that are all somewhat related.01:41 Now its impossible to know for sure if the original maker used the same technique, but certainly some sort of systematic approach would have been essential. 04:07 Using one of the pins to gauge the progress of the taper. The pins were then hammered firmly into place, and the opposing holes on the other plate given a light countersink. Now for the plates to all sit flush when stacked, the pins must sit beneath the surface of each matching plate.06:41 Registering each plate with the one beneath it. Again taking care to align the plates carefully before drilling, and placing the pins in regions of the mechanism known to be available space. I can now work with the plates aligned in a complete stack like this, or in various combinations as required, and be confident that the relative positioning of features will be accurate across all 4 plates.07:49 The sub plate was then returned to the stack to pick up the correct position for the pillars, and finally the front dial plate was returned to the stack to drill out the pilot holes for the pillars. Now without register pins, this would have been quite a challenging task to manage. 10:44 And this is significant, because the presence of a square hole in the spacer leads to an unavoidable conclusion: That the part was in fact fabricated from 2 separate pieces. A spacer with a square hole, and a main bearing body, that were then pressed together to form the full bearing profile. 11:29 All throughout the device, virtually every sub assembly incorporates this idea of spacers and wheels, Either riveted together as a sort of layered sandwich, or threaded onto a shouldered arbor, or both. Certainly the wheels and spacers could have been formed from stock selected to achieve a specific clearance, much like this bearing. But its easy to imagine the maker taking it a step further.12:13 With not much more than an flat abrasive surface and good eyesight, the maker could have achieved exceptional dimension control without any need for absolute measurement.
