Wooden Gear Clocks

[jlwest]

I recently bought a Wooden Gear Clock Kit and it is great. The CNC work is amazing and the instructions are perfect. It does take time but since I had to get rid of my big machines it is fun.

Looks like a fun assembly project! Pls show how it turns out.

Looks like this will be a fun project, looking forward to seeing the final product!

BTW, you said CNC work, but it's actually laser cut parts. And yes, if done correctly, they can be quite accurate and very clean!

Yes. Laser cutting of wood often done with CNC control. It also takes significant air quality control. They use this laser, Laser Systems

Getting close. Fine tuning now.

Jeff, is this weight-driven movement or will it be motorized? (looks like there is a weight escapement.... but really curious.

It has a interesting pivoting battery motor drive that travels up and down the main gear providing some torque to the pendulem. They say it will run for a year. My main concern is with my house cat playing with it. Want a cat?

LOL, not that one...
