To build a clock tower will be my next project Russ.
Some years ago I obtained some oak to build a tower for a Clepsydra
https://madmodder.net/index.php/topic,11522.0.htmlThis is still an ongoing project .I did most of the frame but it has sat around waiting for me to pull my finger out.
The frame will be 8 feet square and 12 feet to the eaves and about 16 feet to the ridge
The main upright are 8 inch sq all the joints are mortise and tenon and held with oak pegs . The frame is 90 % finished .
The oak is not the best but it was cheap
I need to pour some concrete footings but due to the current situation the quarry where I usually buy ballast is closed as are most of our builders merchants.
I also have a full size turret clock which I originally intended to put in the tower so i might end up with 2 clocks
