Making a Fully Mechanical Clock Out of PAPER

  • Building a fully functioning mechanical clock out of paper from the book "Make Your Own Working Paper Clock" by James Smith Rudolph. I built this in my spare time over several months and dozens of podcasts. :)
    Unfortunately, I got a bit carried away when building this and forgot to film portions of its construction. Sorry about the missing parts!
    It was a super interesting project, and I was ecstatic when it actually worked! It keeps decent time considering it's just made of paper. It gains/loses 1-2 min/hr and the weight keeps it running for about 5 hours before it needs to be rewound

    Congratulations on completing the clock! I bought the book a very long time ago and got into trouble with the big wheel. It couldn't engage the gears properly and jammed. It's so nice to be able to finally see it work.

    Last night I bought a pair of grandfather clock hands on ebay. They're beautiful brass things, and I was vaguely thinking that maybe I could affix them to a new clock. I've spent a lot of time in the last 24 hours searching through dozens of websites trying to figure out how I can buy a clock movement that would fit these old hands to no avail.
    Watching someone build a fully functional mechanical clock out of paper in the middle of this unending nightmare of web searching feels vaguely as though I am being taunted by forces beyond my comprehension.
    This was really beautiful work, it looks incredible and the video is wonderful. I'm think I'm going to spontaneously combust.

    how to assemble the rectangular piece n° 98 that is in that book? because I have not understood yet and it says that it must also be folded but how?

    • @steve0701
      @steve0701 หลายเดือนก่อน

      98 isn’t difficult. Glued inside the pendulum bob it is bowed outward to hold the bob against the shaft, but not so tightly that it can’t be adjusted up or down for time regulation.
