The reason for the long break over the last couple of years is that he is completing a thesis on the mechanism and its build.

Entrancing.
Just seeing all the precise hand made tools and then Chris making the pieces and explaining how they relate to stars, months, years.

It is mesmerizing. How he case hardens the tools to make a spindle drill. In this latest video how he mocks up the necessary things in a shop space to make this device.

Today's release is a new series. If I am not mistaken it will be a dial face.

That is pretty cool.
Quite the rabbit hole to go down, dude has some serious talent.

The Fire Piston is pretty cool, I'll probably get one or two.
