#6 Wooden Clock

[DanialMcCoy]

Masterfully done! Truly an inspiring piece of functional art!

[2techshop]

Absolutely Stunning - great work!

[joyce22]

cool...wher to get it???

[PBrutz]

You have to build it yourself. You can can get the plans from Clayton Boyer.

[thepatshowonwp]

Just beautiful to look at, awesome work.

[TheMagnificentPony]

it looks like some elven artifact :D i expect a sprite to pop up at any *time*! (get it?.... yeah me neither)

[eternallypre]

Superultramegacool! 'Though if you don't dust it well, it will probably loose a few minutes a year. ;)

[keano6t9]

This is amazing it's so smooth. Does it have an alarm ;)

[CooOOookiez]

how does a clock even work just by a swaying motion

[PBrutz]

I recommend watching the YouTube video “Time, Clocks and Gears” it explains how a mechanical clock works.

[stupid0rigami]

Can you teach me how to regulate the period of oscillation? By manipulating the weight or the length of the pendulum?

[PBrutz]

The higher the weight (the disk) is on the pendulum the faster the clock runs. There is a threaded rod on bottom of the pendulum that allows me to raise or lower the weight to control the speed of the clock. The rectangular weight hanging on the string is the stored energy that drives the clock. Once a day I have to raise the weight back up to the top and then gravity pulls it back down. This is what drives the clock.

[stupid0rigami]

@PBrutz Thanks a Lot~

[deaftodd]

It looks very delicate that reqiures a lot of patience.

[popnstart]

That is a sweet clock. Great workmanship. Thanks for posting.

I have uploaded to youtube several vids for creating TRUE INVOLUTE internal and external gears with backlash and even sprockets using Autocad. The vid of the GEAR Word Document has the formulas and the gear terms to help with your gear and sprocket designs.

[jackboy94]

do you have the schematics for the clock movement? If yes, can u plz send? Would love to make one.

[popnstart]

That is a cool and beautiful clock. Good job. If it is of some use to you or other clock makers, check out the Youtube video procedure for drawing your gears in Autocad,both INTERNAL and EXTERNAL gears accurately.

Draw some sprockets too if you are so inclined. Thanks for sharing.

[eauc1]

wow! very impressive

[19wael96]

really beautiful

[oldman32123]

i want one.

[surferdudette19]

how do they make these things !?

[Kosperux]

How are the wheels mounted?

[bboyzshannon]

how much will this be?! <;D

[Geddiz]

Beautiful

[LoStInMyMiNd321]

I would pay alot of money for one of those in my house.

[redman68au]

beautiful

[hikarinoryu]

I would love a clock like that! Hard to read, but that's not the point. That clock is pure ART!

[MegaCoolmofo]

that is deffinenantly the most unique peice of artwork ive ever seen im adding it to my favorites just because its just..... most of the art work in museums are noob class compared to what i saw FANTASTICALLL

[TheDigit100]

I like it. Well done..Any of these gears generated by Gearotic Motion or were they all designed by Philip Brutz?

[PBrutz]

The clock was designed by Clayton boyer.

[HOKKYLI]

and it show right time?

[piazzola08]

Good work !

[malekith87]

molto bello!

[mccormickn]

This is an amazing display of wood working. Bravo!

[numberJ5]

beautiful.

[lardo444]

WOW, good work. i'll be over at 8:30.

peace, lardo.

[cncdude1]

I don't do wood but I am able to make it out of aluminum and brass. Please let me know where I might acquire a print.

[M1dyGamer]

looks extremely fragile, id be afraid to own one

[Afwell1]

is it possible for someone to get the plans for this clock?

[ghostmaker105]

Runs on gravity look at the rectangular block with the string attached hanging down.

[i3ds]

It looks more like a sculpture than a clock... wonderful work!

Jon

[keniakittykat]

that's really amazing. I didn't even knew wooden clocks existed^^ does it tell time accurately? or is it just for novelty? I can't work wood... I always fail woodshop in school and I have trouble assembling a wooden ikea book shelf xD So yeah, I'm really amazed!

[badreality2]

@keniakittykat Look at the clock at 0:44. You can see the hands of the clock. However since there is no clockface, one can only roughly tell the exact time.

[Bluemango123]

I love when you can see the gears in a clock. This wooden marvel is quite lovely to look at!

great clock do the teeth wear out

[toot1000000]

great clock do the teeth wear out

[toot1000000]

lovely work dose the teeth wear out quicker because there delicate ?

[Dawid4Real]

o_o so this will. . . never stop? i mean it doesnt run on batteries or anything and it works for days without any energy source more then gravity? o.o

[badreality2]

@Dawid4Real Um yeah... How do you think clocks operated pre-middle twentieth century. I have two grandfather clocks at home that only need gravity to operate.

[badreality2]

@Dawid4Real Um... yeah. How do you think clocks operated pre-twentieth century?

[cpiMan666]

it's great but does this clock show time ??

[soredex1]

Do you send my the plains? Apologize my poor english. Thanks.

[johnnyht2007]

Where's the energy from?

[Marhleet]

@johnnyht2007 the straight bar at the back is a weight, it is pulling the string to rotate the mechanism, the cam with two arms is slowing the rotating cog at the rate of motion defined by the pendulum.

[RODALCO2007]

Beautiful clock 5*

[rayunseitig]

One of the nicest clocks I've seen. Wonderful job.

[lucidsubmachine]

wow very sweet. looks 3d animated :-P

[DAKOTA56777]

You must not have seen what wood looks like then.

[phoenixshade3]

Beautiful craftsmanship.

I only wish this video had sound to go with it.

[ANTINULLdotcom]

tick tock

tick tock

there u go.....

[DJBigz1988]

absolutely beautiful piece of artwork you have there.

[ggymm]

Amazing!

[ggymm]

What kind of wood is used?

[PBrutz]

I made plywood out of old teak banisters. The hands are made from rosewood.

[Ercular]

Teak is probably a very good choice; it won't deform much due to changing humidity. Does it splinter much when you cut it?

[picaticatara]

This is a clever clock because Clayton altered it so its beats are slightly slower than 1 beat per second but at the same time it is a very accurate time keeper.

[ve2zzz]

I particularly appreciate the highly exposed escapement. You can't miss it!

[javieruriel]

how can i get one like this?

[drunkmunk6]

you get the plans and make one! =]

[a10fjet]

yea go to his website the plans are like 30$

[catalina6]

Beautiful workmanship. Thanks for posting this video of this wonderful thing. (Also it's just the right length with good shots of the clock).
