| Craynerd builds Wilding's - Woodward's Gearless Clock |
| << < (12/54) > >> |
| BiggerHammer:
Looking very nice. That gear looks outstanding. |
| raynerd:
Steve, buying the cutters will save a lot of time but I cut my webster gears using my own gear cutter - I just more or less followed John Stevensons excellent gear cutting instructions and did some calculations: http://www.raynerd.co.uk/?p=1069 Cheers Biggerhammer -yes I`m pleased with it. I must admit the crossing out isn`t crisp and tidy, or to clockmakers perfection - I don`t know how they get it like that!! Mine still looks a little like a beaver chewed the centre out :borg: |
| Anzaniste:
All very encouraging. I liked the sitting on the board idea but did it make your back ache? Great effort Chris, well done :thumbup: |
| raynerd:
Back ache?? -I sometimes get it after a few games of football, a round of golf and then carrying my daughter around town while shopping...but I was OK filing a clock wheel :lol: Only joking, Anzanise, I do understand it may potentially give some people back ache but I was fine. Thanks for posting. Chris |

Take your time and draw file the crossings with a good set of sharp jewellers files. For finishing a bit of dowel with metal polish - should only need a few wipes to prevent the corners rounding. |
