i thought this was a neat looking clock.

my dad started making a wooden clock about 40 years ago but he said he has no desire to finish it.

Not only was that one neat, but he build a universe clock that kept track of the moon and planets too. Really cool.

Wife has a grandfather clock with wooden works in it. Doesn't run yet. Needs to be cleaned up.

I've often wondered what humidity does to the works. It's got to throw the time off, you would think.

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.

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.
