Mark-  I really enjoy your videos but are we seeing the effect of too much light in your workshop?  I see a lighted orb or possible ghost bellow your face in the video.  Oh, love your new workshop!

I noticed that too.  Couldn't tell if it was too much like or an issue with the sensor of the camera.

Yes - the light bulbs got reflected into the lens, I will watch out for that next time. Didn't think it would warrant recording the whole thing over again :)

Defiantly not.  Question - Did you do the animation yourself?  I hope you use it in the future for explaining complex things.

You could of just said your workshop is haunted.....  

 

Lol - indeed :)

 

The animation was a nice touch. I wouldn't have guessed it was done in Keynote.

 

I was surprised that Keynote had that as well. But it is very basic, you cannot set pivot points (so no good when I want to demonstrate the escapement). I might do it in flash next time or toonboom.

I haven't used Keynote for several years now so I haven't kept up to date with new features, but it has always been a very nice app. It's really blows Powerpoint out of the water.

 

As an alternative I would recommend Apple Motion, which is a bargain at $50. It has nifty things like linked behaviours which would be handy for movement simulations like the one you did in this video.

I am actually quite impressed with Keynote - almost zero learning curve, I found it very intuitive.

 

I have motion installed, never played with it - thanks for the recommend, I will check it out.

Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your new video series Mark.  Especially the fact that you're taking your time explaining everything in detail. 

Far too often, when I watch other YT Channels, the subject material is rushed, or edited so severely (for fear of loosing viewer interest), that important details are brushed over; or missed completely.  I'm glad to see you are not taking this approach with your channel. 

Thank you Mark, and keep'em coming mate :thumbsu:

Great video and as always thanks for recording. Really enjoyed it and learned some new info. Timing a watch is a really interesting subject as it is always a 50/50 decision for me to either just get it going and running reasonable, or try and improve it, with the risk of shagging it up. Can't wait for next instalment

      Omega cal. 565 - low amplitude

      By swiss2k · Posted

      No matter what I did, I could not get the amplitude more than 240 deg. At least there is 0.2 beat error and minus 1-2 s/d.  So, probably not the happy end I would have hoped for, but still I think the watch turned out quite nice. You be the judge of that. Thank you everyone for your help!

      its used to lengthen or shorten the suspension spring from the front f the clock dial, this in turn will give regulation to the clock. Try inserting a pocket watch key or even better the double ended key for the clock into the small aperture on the dial at the top and turning it, you will see the suspension block either raise or lower. If it raises the clock will run faster if it lowers the clock will run slower

      Grateful for info regarding the nature & function of the horizontal cog and the unit it's on top of in the picture. It meshes with a vertical cog (enclosed in the unit) on the arbour which is supported at its other end by the back plate of the dial unit to which it is not quite perpendicular...

      Second hand watch market.

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Hello good watch folk ,I  just fancied a light hearted discussion after my head was starting to spin over Epilame 😅. Specifically I'm meaning the sale of vintage watches, say nothing past the 1980s market. The stuff we see on ebay and other similar sites and found at carboots, curio shops etc. And are  we thinking its reaching a peak volume ?  Younger generations clearing out passed parents and grandparents possessions.  The younger folk are not as sentimental as the old fogies ( I'm now nearly at an age that i used to think was old fogie age ). When might it have started ?  i often wish i discovered the hobby much much sooner when selling your grandfathers pocket watch at a boot sale for a few quid was just a way to offload some tat. And when might it slow down. Thoughts anyone ?
