Wooden Gear Clock
« on: March 15, 2011, 01:40:04 pm »
Around Feb 6, Steve Good posted that there were plans for a wooden gear clock in the spring issue of ScrollSaw magazine. Well, I couldn't help myself and tried building one.
Just got it running for more than 30 minutes at a time so will now try to post a picture of it.




Cutting the parts is the easy part,getting it to run takes a bit (month) longer.

Hope this works...

wow, cool!  You did a really nice job on that!  I have the pattern, but haven't dared try it yet....afraid I'd screw it up so bad I'd mess up the space-time continuum!!! :o

Well done, Roger.  I also have the plans for that one, but haven't had the nerve to try to do one yet.....someday, I hope.

AND NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS!!! It ran all night last-night and is still going!
It is gaining about 30 minutes over a 12 hour period so some adjustment still needed.
To all those who have commented, THANK YOU!
 If you have the plans, go ahead and dive in. The cutting of the wheels is really the easy part rounding-up all the other parts can be a bit harder (and more expensive) and getting everything to mesh is time consuming but, well worth it when it is running!! I would like to see more variations and stories about how to do things that help out making a clock.
I am considering making a table top style that is spring wound.
