Gentlemen,

For anyone contemplating building a clock (or indeed wanting to produce quality parts for other projects), I highly recommend going to – **LINK**

Over the past almost two years, Chris has produced a remarkable series of short videos showing various stages of making a skeleton clock. His latest (bonus) video `Chill Out Edit – 1000 Hours in 12 Minutes’ is a `must watch’ summary of his previous high quality `footage’ amounting to 23 parts about clock making.

And, even if you are not interested in clock-making, Chris touches on many of the methods used in not only clock-making while bravely removing much of what would otherwise be time consuming footage.

Seasons Greetings to all from sunny Melbourne,

Sam (aka Dennis) Stones

I watched this earlier. simply brilliant, Chris is an inspiration to all of us.

I've watched the whole series and the one thing I don't get is, I have the same lathe, why doesn't mine make stuff like that.

Nice to hear from you Sam and all Good Wishes of the Season to you and yours! Nice to hear that it is sunny there – my No.2 son is still there and enjoying it. He did manage a trip home in the summer, which we enjoyed, and he, of course, has now managed two summers in 12 months!

p.s. Progress on my clock, I' m afraid, is zero!

I couldn't agree more Roy.

Whenever I watch Chris's videos, I feel like pulling my clock apart and doing everything properly just like he does.

The weather is superb at the moment Norman. Thanks for your good wishes and pleased that your son is enjoying his time down here.

Regards to all,

Sam

More like a thousand days for lots of us? I doubt I could get to that level of perfection in ten years, mind!

I had already watched it – he is on my preference list – and all his other u-toob vids are exceptional, too.

I think Chris has produced one of the best ever YouTube series with his clock project and I'm feeling a sense of loss now he has finished it but i just have to keep telling myself he is going to make a new series on something – what I don't know yet but apparently Sunday is the release day for a teaser video.

We have had a hot weather spike here in Sydney but it rainer on Thursday and Friday which has been a welcome relief but what is annoying me is trying to decipher the weather reports as i would like to get out on the water .

What an excellent video. Interesting to see the use of hand turning tools, much better than using a file or going to the trouble of making form tools.
