When I saw this video, I realized that my best efforts were nothing compared to what this man did-240 years ago! Nothing I have seen on this forum comes close, and there are many projects which have humbled me here. This shows the creation of a Swiss watchmaker who created this "automaton" out of over 6000 pieces and at that time there were no milling machines and the lathes were foot powered-if one was even used for this. The fantastic thing is that not only is it still in existence, but it still works! If anyone still has pride in their work, they will be forced to admit they are nothing compared to him. Watch and be humbled by a true Master Machinist:
