Wooden clock.

[Cap'n Mike]

Just thinking/starting a project to build a wooden clock. My son built one some years ago but the cogs warped so it got ditched. I'm looking at a design by Brian Law, I believe his first one.

I am using Birch Ply for most of it, just waiting for it to arrive.

Anybody out there built one? Any tips please?

YIKES!! The pictures come out so BIG!!

birch ply? I don't think that's a good choice. It might delaminate. I would use some exotic wood that doesn't warp, like teak.

I managed to find some European Maple and it is just great!

Over the two weeks of my BAN on here, I have progressed quite well, having now roughed out all the 13 gears. A very steep learning curve!!

Fantastic stuff. I know how much precision work is involved.

Keep up the good work.
