Thread: My latest clock

Beautiful sweeping lines. I really like the design.

How well does it keep time? I know it's not about accuracy but it's always nice if it works well.

Thx! Right now it's within a couple of minutes a day. I still have adjustment thru the pendulum but I haven't messed with it much yet. I like it let it run a bit before I start messing with it too much. I've always had great luck with Clayton Boyer deigned clocks, relative to keeping good time. I have a version of his simplicity that keeps almost perfect time, I add a photo of it...

Very nice piece!!

Where do the plans come from??

Thanks! The movement is from Clayton Boyer's Inclination. The frame I designed myself based off a picture that I saw on Clayton's Flicker account that someone had made. I'm just getting started using SketchUp but I could probably draw the frame using that and made it available to you. I currently use a very old sign making software to design my frames and the plot them to paper for a pattern. Unfortunately, the software is old, 1998, and doesn't have formats available for use in other more current CAD soft wares...

PS: I like this movement because I am able to make it run on only 3.5 lbs of lead and the short pendulum, 18". I'm currently working on another mantle clock based on this movement, a Mission style frame, where the actual drive weights will be concealed in the back of the clock...
