Wooden Mechanism Clock - Wee Willie

[stevensrd1]

You know I have pondered a gear driven self winding clock, relating to a spinning disk with spinning magnets on the disk, as the disk slowly revolves so does the magnets on the disk which always want to face north, this in effect is used to wind a low pressure piece of rubber band or such, only a tiny bit of winding at all time is needed to keep it running, remember the magnets always face north and south, and spin or wind slowly as the disk they sit on spins, of course this is just a thought...

i read somewhere that you have only 2 clocks running, from the many you have builded. You probably have more than 10 builded so far, so isnt sad to worked so much hours on those beatifull clocks, to have them later storaged somewhere??? because if i am not wrong you wont sell them either....can you sell a clock if the plans are fron Clayton Boyer? i mean is it a legal problem? Thanks

@ozzymario : Mate, I don't run all the clocks all the time as its quite annoying to have all that ticking. But they look good even when stopped. I don't sell them as its too much hassle responding to people who would complain and ask why their clock doesn't run right.

a wonderful feeling for material and form. Thank you

[mikeadair]

Thank you so much for the information! I also took your advice and my new Excalibur arrived today! I've had the same starter scroll saw for the past 15 years. Thanks for your excellent videos. Very inspiring.

Very nicely constructed! Just beautiful. I purchased the plans for this clock and am about to dig in. The weights on your clock are really nice. Are they brass? I think Clayton uses lead but I like the look of yours with the wood.

[adrianiredale]

@mikeadair : Mate, the weights are cut-off pieces of brass rod. I drilled the back out and replaced with lead to get the right weight without having to make the brass pices bigger.

Thanks for the compliments. I love how the whole thing holds together with wooden pegs - no screws. I am sure you wil love it too.

nice job well done

I am assuming the spring is made of some kind of spring steel. Where did you purchase the spring material from? BTW, excellent work on all of your clocks!

[adrianiredale]

@frnkr : The Negator Spring can be purchased from SDP-si.com at 1-800-819-8900

Thank you, Adrian. As always, excellent craftmanship on the clock--and a really fine video. I wish we had your video skills! And I wish Clayton had that ACCENT!!!! Swoon!

Fine job adrian, amazing craftsmanship!

[roman3of23]

I love it! Great work Adrian! How long did it take you to build? What kind of spring is it powered by?

[adrianiredale]

@roman3of23 : I didn't count the hours but it probably took about 40 hrs. It uses a "constant force" spring.

Adrian you have become such a talented clock maker over the last year or so. I always love seeing these!
