This YouTube video (in Dutch, but with English subs) is also fascinating: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1ODwgX_KkQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1ODwgX_Kk

  Jaw-dropping craftsmanship.

  Truly mesmerizing. I absolute love the neatness and the quality of the materials that she uses. The way the red lights on the encryption machine turn on and the bronze board itself is delightful. Somehow the machines look like a cross between steampunk and art-deco styles. I also admire the fact that she explicitly admits that the machines are created for "nothing utilitarian", just for fun following the hacker tradition. Every single time I see again something about the antikythera mechanism I'm blown away that the ancients greeks came up with such device.

    as i understand it, the advantages of steel over brass are that it is stronger, stiffer, melts at a higher temperature, and most of all, cheaper none of those are relevant here the great advantage of brass over steel is that it's much easier to machine, which is relevant here if she wanted to use materials to show off, instead of brass she'd use steel, titanium, inconel, nitinol, or granite i don't see what could be more utilitarian than fun
