nice start brian I may try it some day
here is a pic of one of the clocks my grandfather built before he died there is no visable metal in the clock everything is wood. there is metal hidden inside and lead inside the weights his name was Robert Holiday and he sold these for thousands of dollars. I own one but it is at my fathers. click on pic to enlarge it could be lighter

Hi steve
That's some clock you must be very proud of him.
It so happens that I am thinking of building a wooden clock for my next project.
I have plans of a wall clock by J RANDLE. available free on the net. These plans are full size so you can stick them on and cut around the edges, sounds easy dont it but I bet it aint.
Also it seems a good excuse to by a band saw!!!!
I want to put it in a long case and have it chime "Roman Chimes". this uses 2 bells, a low one for 5 and a high one for 1

So--- 7 is Dong Ding Ding.--------And 11 is Dong Dong Ding.---4 is Ding Dong--Get it?

Here is a drawing of the clock movement. as its free to download on the net i think its OK to pass on just this one sheet.




By the way the congreave is in the shop for cleaning and having a case made.

Brian.
