A Beginners Clock

Re: The next project

At last we have the finished clock, just waiting to be found a home in the house.

Now comes the job of getting it all together in book form. I hope you have enjoyed the build.

Re: The next project

Nearing the end, the part involving the building of the clock is complete. It has 16,548 words, 283 photographs and 72 drawings.

I have slightly altered some parts so it can easily be built in either metric or imperial, many of the sizes are now possible just to use the nearest
direct replacement. No juggling with a calculator, screws have a direct replacement chart. BA / American.

I still have the introduction and technical description to do, and finish the tools section, but its on track for late this year.

Re: The next project

Brian, I am still watching this thread and am glad to hear you are still working on the plans and book.

I am off to the UK for a holiday next week, and hopefully by the time I get back (early October) all will be done.

Cheers,

Tom

Re: The next project

Brian, If you can find a copy of "Gears for small mechanisms" by W.O. Davis it's probably the best book ever written on the subject of gear cutting. It's hard to find but maybe your library can find it for you.

Based on your recommendation, I kept a search on Ebay, and found a copy! Wonderful book! I haven't put it down!

Re: The next project

The book is nearly finished I am just adding a section for those that have a mill and wish to use it, so I have devised a simple dividing head using the lathe change wheels, at almost zero cost.



Not long now just keep at it.
