    It went together pretty easy for a first one. I have changes only a few small things in the cutout code
    It take 220gr to make the gear train to move now just a needed the alignment of a few gears
    There look to be a lot of friction where the pallets and escapement wheel rub. It is ply on ply and I thinking all those little end fibers rubbing against each other, so I will try changing the pallets over to polished brass. If nothing else it will look good.

    Any idea always welcome

    It looks great Russell.

    Pallet are the faces of the rocker that come in contact with the escapement wheel

    I personnel do not like anything on working surfaces as they change as there age or wear away. Just me...

    Then its a lot of sanding with fine grit by hand.
    Which I don't mind doing at all.
    Means I'm doing something other than smoking in front of the tele.

    No it only got a few hours at best.
    As life goes, something a little more important came up and then another and so on.
    I will get back to it, just got 3 project to get finished, a RD project, A new cnc router from scratch, and My son's wedding (at least this is a easy one )
