That is museum quality

Very nice

It must sound good with that amount of

wood. A nice solid mechanical sound?

Great work. I also looked at your other clock postings. All great.
Having made a number of clock cabinets myself over the years I particularly appreciate that you used “real” mechanical movements. Somehow it bothers me to see people go to all the work of making a nice cabinet and then put a quarts movement. Yes, I know some clock owners do not like the routine of winding their clocks and prefer quartz.
Keep up the good work.

-- When did quiet and quite become the same word ? I'm guessing about the same time as your and you're did.

Very Nice Project Indeed! Well Done!

Thanks for the compliments everyone. Yep, LesB, I’m with you on the quartz jobs. I only work on/with real
antique, mechanical clocks, and furthermore, I really prefer the weight driven. I get great timekeeping from them..
My next planned project is a jewelers pinwheel regulator. I have the movement, dial and pendulum but haven’t yet
designed the case I want to build. As usual, it may be a year in the making!

Great clock. An heirloom quality movement housed in a matching quality case makes for a clock that can be enjoyed for generations. I have a similar project with a Howard movement and dial, the original case ended up in the trash. A sad story.
Building a clock based on a reconditioned antique movement or a modern made movement of quality (http://lindowclockmaker.com) is certainly the best way to go. However, in a pinch, quartz movements aren’t that awful. Cheap, accurate, and easily replaceable they are certainly a better alternative than the imported mechanical movements called for in most woodworking magazine projects.
