Very nice work however I have question if you help me with an answer. With humanity in the air how much does it effect in the accuracy. Humid or dry I'm guessing is going to play a role in this . Because it all wood . If the pendulum is made of brass tube will it help ? . Some day I'd like to build one because they are very beautiful time price . Hope you have an an6for thx . Again beautiful clock you built.
Gary, First of all let me say that wooden clock movements are NOT going to be accurate by today's standards. I think it's a worth while project because of the history of wooden clocks, but don't build one thinking that they are going to be accurate. If you research some of the brass pendulums of today you will find that they have a built in mechanism to compensate for expansion and contraction from temperature changes by using to different metals in opposing directions. The two metals have different coefficients of expansion so they effectively keep the length of the pendulum constant through a temperature change. Getting further into the research, you will find out that the cycles of the moon, which effect gravity, will change the swing of a pendulum.....so again, I repeat these time pieces are beautiful and historic, but not what you would call accurate by today's standard.
W.O.W. Ed I am impressed! I am so I am in awe of such precision!
I like your brass screw idea.
Looking real good and making me envious. You might need to machine some hardware for my project.
I like classic
Nice

@@edmorgano5974 thx for replying.
Your right .
Great idea for the shaft bearings Ed. Does the metal shaft go all the way through the dowel, or are they a short stub in each end?
Short stub at each end.
@@edmorgano5974 Cheers Ed, that makes sense...
CVC CEO is James
Hello Ed...do you have full size templates available?
No, sorry
What are you working on CVCceo?
What are you working on?
Nice work. I was wondering how have your cone bushing and pointed rod pivots lasted ?
All good
