    another clock

    I am going to cut another clock. This time my own design. This is what I have come up with.

    I agree with kong. I really like these clocks. I've seen them in 'kit' form before but never made from scratch. Someday I would like to try to make one, too.

    Hi Balsaman

    I know you said yor last clock ran for 12 hours before a rewind
    will this one be different using these gears
    BTW real nice work
    Learn from the mistakes of others you can't afford to make them all yourself!

    No.....

    One way to get more time would be to use double the weight and a pulley at the weight. The string then goes from the spool, thru the pulley, and tied back on the clock.

    Double the string length.

    The clocks are for show. I don't run the other clock unless someone want to see if it works.

    last one...Now I need the weight and the pendulum. I will steal these from the other clock.

    I think I liked the other one better...
