Wood Clock Talk I started a thread on this board a while back

>>1225525
how does it feel to know that you just inspired me to steal your intellectual properties and you cannot stop me.

>>1225525
That's some really nice work OP, any closer pictures showing how the gears work?

>>1225545
HAHA. Well I don't know what intellectual property that you think you've stolen but go right on ahead. I'm curious, what are you stealing and what for?

Thank you very much! I'll get some good pictures and a video hopefully by tonight/few hours.

Nice work op. We talked in the other thread but my scrollsaw is broke atm so I never got to use your advice

i am impressed
is this your own design or from a plan?
would it take another few weeks to do another one? or could it be done faster now that you know the adjustments that need to be made etc?

I'm not op but I know he uses a online gear generator for planning/patterns.

not op, saved from last thread

Can anyone recommend me some software for designing gears?

I did some digging after last thread and found this:

I think it should be enought to design clock myself, but I don't have enough skill to draw gears on paper as template.

Damn that sucks! I feel your pain and I hope you can get it fixed sometime soon.

Thank you very much. This is not my design. It's by Clayton Boyer. A quick search and you'll find all his clock designs. This one is called "Deco".

I'm not certain that it would only take weeks but it would only take a fraction of the time. You're right, since I know all the little adjustment that I would need to take it would make short work. The biggest problems that I've been having are gear depthing. since the depths of the teeth are not perfect it caused me a lot of time sanding the teeth to mesh properly.

Whenever I do any kind of clock design I use the software called Gearotic. It is the best clock design software that I can find besides going to a full solids cad software package like Inventor.

Hey, cool to know anons saved some of my work.

>>1227122
As a first choice I would recommend Gearotic. Otherwise a second best is using online gear generators and using cad for the overall design.

Here's the Motion Works. Its responsible for gearing down from the minute hand to the hour hand. 12:1

Here's the going train. Aside from the wheels connecting to the escapement it simultaneously torques down the 9ft-lb spring into something much less. Id say about a 0.5oz-inch... Something significantly smaller in power. This tiny amount of power then influences the pendulum to continue swinging back and forth.
