| Craynerd builds Wilding's - Woodward's Gearless Clock |

That's a really nice clock, and has a wonderful sound to it. I can't for the life of me figure out how the "gated detent" works...? I can see it flip up & down, somehow allowing a pin through... I just can't see how the pin gets past the tongue... - doh, I see it now, there's a slot cut in the tongue... Nice work Chris, will it have hands by tomorrow? ;) |

Cheers Chaps. AdeV - no doubt it`ll stop working before you can see it or it`ll probably stop working tonight when I try and "fix" the back stop from jumping! I`ve had it running for well over an hour now, which is great but hard work since I have to keep "lifting the weights", so to speak, every 12-15 minutes before the make shift weights (a large steel Allan key!) hits the bottom pillar. If I can get the back stop from jumping, the next step is to make the pulley system and set it up exactly the same but with a real weight system and have it running for a few days. To be honest, I`m quite excited, I`ve timed it over 15 minutes and with the pendulum set how I initially set it up, I can`t see any loss of time. Clearly I could be minutes out over a week but I was expecting to be way off just timing it for this short time! Next jobs...1. backstop fix 2. pulley weight system. |
