Hi, I found this web site www.woodenclocks.co.uk/index.htm offering free plans for wooden geared clocks. If you look up the site it has 4 clocks available,I choose the plans for clock #1
As I had not attempted anything like this before,the first job was to make indexing jigs to fit the rear of a vicmark chuck,for the spacing of the teeth.
Cutting of the teeth was with a small router (gmc) fitted to a slide controlled by a fulcrum lever attached to the lathe bed.
Cutters were ground from 1/4 inch drill bits,as each size wheel has different shaped teeth. All measurments must be accurate to a fraction of millemetre.
The frame and axles were straight forward in construction.
Modifications had to be made to the winding gears,ratchet,timing wheel and pallets,to get it ticking.
As of today it is loosing about 1 minute in 4 hours,adjustment of the pendulum is still being done.
I used kiln dried redgum (very fine grain )for the gears and axles ,ash for the rest.
No photos available until I get some one with more computor knowledge than I have to post some pics.
Have a good Australia Day
