Thanks Chris. I just bought a big chuck of aluminium (like, 30 minutes ago) to make a pallet for my rotary table. These little clamps are also now on my build list.

[Koushakur]

Somehow you've made that tiny space feel 10 times larger throughout your videos, that alone is incredible

[KriLL]

Please, sir, might I have some more please?

[thomashverring]

First I was stunned by how small your workshop is, then I remembered that you film there ... Holy shit! It boggles my mind how you get so excellent shots! If you haven't already made one, a video about your filming process would be awesome!

[zachmt]

I'm amazed at how much high-quality work you put out in that tiny shop! Further proof once again that attention to detail and method with simple tools can outperform complex machinery in the hands of a skilled craftsman.

I'd love to see some of your tool storage solutions in that shop. Everything must have a place, and there's only so much room to work with - I'm sure there are some interesting solutions you've had to come up with to fit everything in there.

[autodidact]

Ok... The fact that Chris is making the Antikythera mechanism in a 🧹 broom closet has now made an already impressive project even more amazing.

[antcanam]

That workshop ! You'd have to go outside just to change your mind 🙂
Keep these coming please Chris.

[faxezu]

In my head your shop was at least 4x that size with a big table in the middle.
Amzing what you are able to do in that area!

[AemilianaRosewood]

No way is your home workshop this small. I still remember where we started 7 years ago with making a clock and honestly it always kinda seemed to me like you are some super rich person that went somewhere into a pretty nature place and work on videos like these as a passion project. I am always amazed and speechless when I see how much genuine effort you put in both your work and the videos. I would honestly love any content you make :) It's always such a delight to see a new upload

[stabilini]

I refuse to belive this high end quality videos came from that tiny lovely shop. Man congrats, you are one of the best here.

[_B_K_]

That is the most organized and clean shop in the universe.

[CraigsWorkshop]

I saw a bunch of other people mention this, but thought I'd throw my suggestion in the ring too, since you asked. A tour of any/all filming and lighting setups, camera stands, or rotary fixtures, gadgets, reflectors, flags, any equipment that you use that helps you to get the beautiful results you do would be a real eye opener and a masterclass to to the rest of us. That gear (to me) is as much a part of your workshop and channel, as the tools and projects that we see through the camera and screen. Looking forward to the rest of this series! Thanks, Craig

[noshei]

OK, WTF, how do you make such amazing work in so small a space! This makes your work even more amazing!

[ErulianADRaghath]

That shop of yours is actually my dream shop. Everything is just one slide of the wheelie chair away, I'd never have to stand up or bend awkwardly over machines.

[DavidGuyton]

Wow I knew your shop had to be small but that is a lot smaller than I expected. It's incredible what work comes out of this tiny space!

[BM-yydb]

This might be a tricky one but, I'd like to see how you set up your filming equipment for different shots when making videos such as this and the Antikythera mechanism. Especially curious now that we know how tiny your workspace is

[cycoholic]

Dear lord, all the ultra high quality projects you've turned out over the years have come out of walk in cupboard...!!

Mind blown. 🤯

[CraigsWorkshop]

Glorious indeed! I'll put my vote down for many more of these videos please Chris 😁

[maxtester]

Not too many things might be more interesting than your exquisite collection of tools!
Please feel encouraged to the max to upload mor videos like this one!
