David, I`m sorry, I didn`t see your post! I don`t know how I have missed it. I`ve not added it to the main list, it looks great but I`ll have a good read later.

I`ve added a few commercial links - not to give them advertisments but looking at their site has actually helped me out quite a bit.

Hi folks, does anyone know of any videos on ''Cowells'' milling machine demonstration set ups..gear cutting or flycutting that may be on the net...I have looked to no avail, a book for the lathe is to be found but nothing seems to be out there for the mill,
All the best for now,
John.

Jere has a lovely write up of his Cowells lathe but I have never found anything on the mill. If you do find anything if interest, please post up.
Trever, I`m pleased that you like the links. I haven`t added anything to them in a while but still a good collection what is already there.

HI Cris, thank you for the reply, I looked through most if not all the sites you posted, no luck finding any reference to ''Cowells mill''...plenty on the ''Sherline'' though,I have a Sherline lathe, great wee machine, sooooo, I must carry on and learn by my mistakes on the mill, hopefully not too many,
All the best for now,
John.

A few updates for those interested. If anyone has any more, especially the project logs then please let me know.
EDIT: Just noticed Jere hasn`t posted on here for a long time and his last update on his site was June 2010. His watch build was fantastic, I hope all is well with him!

Just got a reply from Jere via email. All is well, he has been making a few posts on his site but just not changed the homepage as apparently he has been working on the escapement for the last year!!!! Now that is dedication!

Upsettingly, Onlineclockbuilding website is now gone.... a VERY sad loss as it was a super site.
If mods could update - please put a cross through it rather than just delete it if this is possible.
For the wooden clocks, see David Atkinson,
www.woodentimes.com/
Lovely clocks and great plans with DXF files available. could this please be added to the list.
Thanks
