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

David, in my opinion this very much is a engineers clock - no gears and lots of colliding leavers! Tim - that excites me a lot, I like your work, your photos and your build logs, so that will be interesting. Despite getting no-where in the build, I still think Collin Thornes Skeleton Timepiece is a lovely clock however it is just plans and no build journal and guidance as Wildings clocks all have. That being said, his book that I reviewed a while ago on here, I forget its name, I think Clock Making for the Model Engineer is excellent and complements the plans. Now you have mentioned it, I`ll be :poke: :poke: you until it is started....certainly after your V engine is finished! Chris |

I`ve read the plans and build notes through a few times and I`m pretty sure I`ve not read that they do. I`d be interested to know what makes you say that ? Chris |

Chris, I quite like this, no gears my type of clock. :D Haven't a clue how it all works :scratch: but as the build proceeds I'm sure I will be enlightened :D I could do with being a bit lighter :D :beer: DaveH |

Dave, it took me hours of reading the same 2 pages of the book and then even a video that gadgetbuilder kindly posted for me on request that I managed to figure it out. I hope to take lots of pictures in this build. I don`t know if you noticed but in my last few builds I`ve been a bit reluctant to post pictures of my actual machining as was worried about what people think of my methods. I feel more confident now and to be honest, I`ve spoke to so so many older engineers who do things totally different to how everyone says that I`m quite happy showing my methods as long as I`m safe. If people can give me better ways of doing things then great and I will take it on board, but by that time the part will be made anyway.... The point is, hopefully I`ll slowly build the main train on the back plate and you should see how it works. One of my aims is to try and explain the mechanism as it is put together. Chris |
