Wooden Pendulum Clock

Looks interesting!

-- Gary, East TX -- The longest journey begins with a single step.

Great modeling work! Did you draw all of the individual gears or are they some sort of pre made component? I have always wanted to try solidworks..I am a AutoCAD/Sketchup user, but that looks really cool!

Very intricate.

Got way more patience than I have. I would have fragged it several stages back. Good work Richard, did ya put an ega in there somewhere? Semper Fi

I actually have the AutoCAD dwgs for these gears and the spindles. A few years back when I worked at an Architectural firm that had a laserCAM I cheated and cut a set of gears out of 1/4” stock. Came out beautiful, albeit with black edges from “burning” the wood.

I have yet to figure it all out, but at some point this year I hope to have it completed. Will post pictures if I do.

If anyone’s interested in the AutoCAD DWG’s, PM me with your email and I’ll send them out.

-- I love woodworking. Except sanding, gluing, cutting long stock, finishing, detail work, sawdust, the cost and loss of time. :)
