And a big welcome from me too. Just love your clock. I have seen a few of these creations, looks like a tough project to me…. Great work.

Great clock, definetely need a better set of pictures so we can see the great details. The M4 clock shows great so maybe repost these pictures.

Truly a masterpiece in design and art and a working mechanical time piece. Congratulations on these projects.

very cool clock. how long did it take to build? did you have plans and how well does it keep time?

Mike H, Thanks for your kind comments. M2 took 6 months to figure out a jig for every important cut (the gears) and about 1 month to do the cut, build, finish. I hand draw all of my own plans but, I am in the process of learning CAD and writing a book about how to build a similar clock (including the jigs I created). This M2 version runs +/-3 per day. Max

I’ve always been intrigued by these wooden mechanisms. It takes a lot of patience and skill to make them. I would have to decaf and meditate before attempting one.
