cbehnke Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Just joined the website. New to the woodworking hobby and I hope to pick up a buch of good info on this website. I Got into WW'ing from a love of mechanical wrist watches. It's very tough for a hobbyist to make tiny micromechanical gears,...but clocks are pretty large and use large gears that I can make from wood in my garage, so I do that as a hobby now. Here is a recent clock I made. It's tiger maple with rosewood accents. it is operated by a 5 lb weight on a twine that hangs beneath it. The attached picture really shows the tiger maple well, but the below you tube link that shows the clock in action is poor quality and doesn't show the beauty of the maple.

Morton Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 That's awesome. I'd love to make a wooden clock similar to this idea at some point. Looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
