Gonzo Posted February 13, 2017 Author Report Posted February 13, 2017 Thank you all for the nice comments! In answer to Rolf, I would love to try and build a real wooden gear working clock. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I could find a plan or two? Quote

Scrappile Posted February 13, 2017 Report Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) If you search "wooden gear clock plans" there are many to choose from. Rolf is the resident expert. He has had them featured in sroll saw magazines, maybe he can tell which magazines. I'd love to get brave enough to try one... While looking at them, I came across this: http://lisaboyer.com/Claytonsite/robotlaboratory.htm I have got to try this, What fun. He has neat clock plans also., Edited February 13, 2017 by Scrappile Quote
