Thread: Who Makes Wood Clocks?

.





A wooden clock maker.

cheers

More info please, wooden geared, turned ones or tall grandfather type clocks.

I turn clocks up on the lathe. Here is two of mine out of redgum

For wooden gears (I guess), search the Scrollers Forum for "clock." Several hits (2 pages), including plans (although I didn't actually look at them.)

Someone with a lot more patience than I have

Well, yes. But do you remember the show/book "Longitude"? I think the hero's name was John Harrison. Spent about 50 years developing an accurate nautical chronometer. In an e-mail recommendation to pen-pals, I described it as a "monument to perseverance."

Will Mathysen
Victoria.

One of the world renowned makers.

I'm with China, his patience is far greater than mine (and I teach schoolkids.)

AWR over its last two issues, has had an article on the same.

Hi Echnidna, I do.
Look up Wooden geared clocks on this forum.
cheers Nine Fingers.

Used to see all types of clocks at the markets once.

And theres quite a few businesses supplying quartz mechanisms.

I'm surprised there are so few clock makers on the forum nowadays.

9 fingers makes wooden geared clocks and he's totally designed clocks from the ground up so his clocks keep excellent time.

So who else is out there hiding in the woodwork

A couple of clocks made by my wife and me.

Pictures 1 & 2 are of a clock mad from a design in Australian Woodsmith. It is made by me from cedar salvaged from an old cupboard and destined for the tip.

One advantage to having a wife interested in woodwork is that it is easier to convince the treasurer to incude new purchases for the shed in the budget .
She has quite an impressive array of Pfeil carving chisels.

Have recently purchased about 10 slabs of Blackwood, A. melanoxylon, and am planning to make some clocks from that as well.
