Thanks Paul. It is interesting to watch this clock work as it is all open. It can be a bit hypnotic after a bit.

I still cant remember why I didn't assemble or try to run this one, but with only having to print a couple of parts, it si the best running one yet I think. I am encouraged to do another in more consistant colours this time.

Cheers    :cheers:

Hello Tom, Clocks of this type and tower clocks have always been a very tempting proposition for me but have never had the opportunity to get into horology. Too many other things encroach on time etc. I am with you in that they are enchanting and mesmerizing aparatus with considerable aesthetic appeal. I have seen some lovely wooden examples too. Good luck to you in developing more designs.  Regards, Paul Gough.

Morning Paul.

I must explain that I am not the designer of these clocks. I simply purchase the plans and go from there. It is all done by a gentleman that is much smarter...

No shame in being a constuctor and enthusiast, most models of any sort are from existing plans and provide endless pleasure during and after construction. I am tempted to join with you and get a set of plans! Thanks for the web address. Regards, Paul Gough

Just a quick note to say that this clock is still going very well. It is crazy accurate and only needs a few seconds adjustment every couple of weeks. It is amazing when you consider it is mostly plastic. I wind it every seven days.


My next project will be a pendulum table clock that is weight powered but it will be self winding! There have been some mixed reviews about this one but it has been made to work.

Film at 11!

Tom
