As the title states,
this book a practical guide to designing wooden wheeled clocks.
In it I describe my own personal method of designing and building
these wonderful mechanisms. There are no plans included in this
book, however, if you follow along and draw what is being described,
you will end up with your own set of unique clock plans, and
along the way learn the various methods of creating your own
designs. This book covers calculating tooth counts for various
pendulum lengths, how to draw a Graham escape wheel and matching
pallets, the two important equations for creating wheel sets,
why wheel size matters, how to create a dial train, build a
frame, laying out the wheels, finish on your clock, how to get
an absolutely perfect adjustment on your clock's bob, even how
to add a strike mechanism, with over a hundred pages of information
you can use to begin designing your own unique wooden wheeled
clocks.
Although there are no
plans in this book, we cover how to create your own 30 hour
clockworks from beginning to end, and explore various ways of
creating an 8-day mechanism. The price of the pdf book is $42.00
and is available as an instant download using the link below.
As I receive pictures of completed original designs
from their makers using principles from my book, I will post
them in this Flickr pool:
