Great video! Every one in the series building the mechanism has been very interesting. It's fascinating how such simple tools produce the complexity in the mechanism. With modern lathes and metal working tools it's very easy to forget how accessible working with metal in high precision can be. Once you see the tooling being created in front of you it makes it clear how ancient civilizations could have had access to this precision.
