This project all started with a post from PeteM. Thanks Pete, I had more fun with this project than I had in the shop in a long time. The design is by Clayton Boyer. He has many designs to choose from. It took me exactly 1 month to build. I started it April 25 and hung it in the living room May 25. It keeps great time and is a pleasure to watch and listen to.
The frame is Guyana Rosewood, the gears are made from Baltic birch ply, and the hands and decorations are made of Padauk.
The weight is turned from Birdseye Maple and hollowed out and filled with lead.
Here is a link to a YouTube video of my creation.
