Just finished my second clock to a design bt W.R.Smith it has a Grasshopper escapement invented by John Harrison around 1755

That is simply beautiful :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:
Any chance of a video of the workings?

Very nice Steve. :thumbup:
The grasshopper is nice to watch.
Did you use CNC for any parts (e.g. Dial)?

After a bit of a problem with the spring barrel being too tight it's now starting to keep good time.
The dial, controllers and some of the wheel crossing was done on the CNC mill
Thanks for the comments

I plan to get a glass dome when I see one the right size and price.
Would be nice to see a photo of your clock

I made this as a test and learning piece, when I first converted my mill to PC control, I ended up making three I gave two away to mates....... :ddb:
