Ah Ha !    Now we know why you make those gat-gun gears look so easy !


 


Are you using Gearotic for the clock gears?

No George, the gear software is fairly new. I started my first clock last century. ( 1989 )
To use specific diameters it\'s necessary to create tooth geometry
matching both diameters. ( no standard pitch )

No magic here, the design is 400 years old first put on paper with ink and feather.
Those are my heroes.

Very nice! Is that clock a kit or drawing or did you just make it from scratch?

Nice work, are you a member of the Home Model Machinist also ?  Any models or plans for the clocks ?


 


  I was wanting to post a video of a beam engine I made but don\'t know how to post it.

I have another participant in the clock project, he’s using

the same models for his 3D printer.

Gears turning out great.
