The amount of skill shown in the videos is incredibly mind-boggling. One wrong move and you're starting over on the entire part, which would be bad enough using modern tools he's using now and I can't even imagine what it must have been like at the time when the mechanism was designed. What a marvel of engineering considering the time it was made. Makes me wonder what other ancient inventions were out there that we'll never know anything about.
- gus_massa 4y ago> One wrong move and you're starting over on the entire part My guess is that it's possible to fix typos, but it would be a lot of additional work. For example to fix pieces, he makes a hole and put a small bronce in the hole, then he punch it, and then polish the surface until it's invisible. For example see this port of the previous episode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v19cu2hj2Ms&t=847s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v19cu2hj2Ms&t=847s Anyway, I'd be terrified of making a mistake if I had to do this.
