    I've been following Chris for some time and I'm constantly impressed with his skills.

    This piece is unusual as he has been horologically inclined (skeleton clock, sun dial, Antikythera machine) but I think it's one of his best works.

    Been subscribed to his channel for a while, and it's been months since his last video...but this one was worth the wait.

    Had a chuckle in the comments people say he's using "This Old Tony" tricks, because that was the first thing I thought...another channel I follow...

    Really amazing work, reminds me of the artistry that goes into the making of an A. Lange & Sohne.

    Wow! It is hard to know if the object and skill or the photography are the stand-out part. Just Wow!

    Oh, to have that kind of talent: not just the metalwork, but the artistry to design beautiful scrollwork and the skills to put together such a video. Thanks for sharing.
