Clickspring - Reconstructing The Antikythera Mechanism
Antikythera Mechanism: Evidence of a Lunar Calendar (Published by Chris of Clickspring among other peers based on direct analysis and reproduction of Antikythera Mechanism)
Even if you aren't into precision metal working or history or science and engineering, his videos are great ASMR. His voice is perfect for narration, the shots are beautiful and you can just sit and disassociate for a bit.
Every single piece he makes has so much thought, effort, research, and real skill behind it. Sometimes he needs to make half a dozen specialized tools from scratch just to machine a single part. He does it all while taking excellent footage, and somehow he has enough skill and leftover energy to edit the footage into excellent videos. He deserves mad respect.
I found him a decade ago during finals week in grad school while he was building a clock, and it helped me relax between study sessions so well that I did significantly better than usual on my exams.
Clickspring is awesome. Half the time I have no idea what he's talking about, but it's so soothing to watch a master at work that I can't stop watching.
