Antikythera Fragment #6 - Ancient Tool Technology - Making A Hand Powered Drill

Antikythera Fragment #6 - Ancient Tool Technology - Making A Hand Powered Drill The precision of the holes in the Antikythera mechanism is one of the most fascinating aspects of its construction. In this video I make a tool that is capable of creating holes to the required standard, yet is consistent with the level of technology known to have existed in the period. The video where I show the drill bit making process in detail can be found here: The plans for this project, and a IGES file of the flywheel casting pattern can be downloaded as a zip file here (11mb): If you would like to help support the creation of these videos, then head on over to the Clickspring Patreon page: ________________________________________________________ A very special thank you to Patrons: Sinking Valley Woodworks (
