Even when only partially cut from the parent sheeting its elegance is apparent. This “Time Machine” will be an aesthetic bonus to any room it occupies and win admiration from all who see it. Every time you wind it up and hear it ticking will be a pleasurable extension of the build, even years after completion. I trust the time consumed manually crafting this instrument enhances the sense of achievement as each component is conjured from stock material. A pleasure to watch the progress. Regards, Paul Gough.
