Making of cuckoo clock built for SeTechnic May 2011 competition. Purpose of this competition is to build a purely mechanical cuckoo clock. I choose to use two wind-up motors, one for the clock and one for the cuckoo. This clock runs for a bit more than 6 minutes, and the cuckoo is designed to go out every 3 minutes. The escapement is borrowed from BenVanDeWaal W4.3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCIVmni8xg4
