A couple of years ago while at a wood show, I came across a guy selling the internal works for a coo coo clock. Just add your cabinet. It was real cheap, and I always wanted a coo coo.
After looking at it for the past few years, last month I decided to get it together. And it is a welcome to my wife’s new family room decore.
Made of cherry, dark cedar and some little bits from around the shop….and a pakage of birds from Michaels.
Light sensor makes sure it dosen’t keep me up all night :-)

Pretty neat little clock, is it from a kit, or did you make it from scratch? Ah! after reading your blog I see part of it is from a kit and you made the outside. Very nice. mike

Great looking clock.
You wrote about a light sensor. Are there some electric parts in the clock?

Nice clock – I love coo-coo clocks. I have one that my Son’s Mother-in-law picked up for me on her last trip home – to Germany. I know what you mean about the light sensor – those clocks make some noise. The one I have has a switch that you throw to stop it from coo-cooing at night. Bet it wasn’t an easy build.

Yes the clock mechanics are electric….. swith on side of clock to control volume level “high or low” and it can be swithed off. Light sensor in face of clock will stop it from Coo Cooing at night. Runs on two D cells…...and keeps real good time too.

Beautiful job. A great timepiece. A cookoo (Koel) has nested near our back yard that seems to not want to go to bed a night, makes a lot of noise, but thats nature for you.
