wooden clock

I want to make a wooden clock so went to try making some gears.

they work ok but I need to sand them real nice and then they will turn smooth.

My first try at cutting wooden gears, the pinion is plywood and the large gear is just some press board. This was just a first time test.



Later on I will get some birch plywood and take more time and make some good parts to make a clock.

Powder Keg:

My father (a watchmaker from way back) has a plastic model kit of that "early Swiss" clock.  It's molded in brown, has simulated wood grain, and actually runs.  Took a bit of fussing, but he got it timed in quite nicely.
