Forgot, you will need a set of small files (cost about $10 - $15 for the set at Lowes or HD). You'll never complete this clock without them. You'll use them for final gear adjustments after its all put together and it still needs a few gear tweeks.

Looks good! Can you put the total amount of hours you spent on this project in the description?

@salpta

I spent about 3 weeks on it. Most of it in one week.

Where did you buy your weights

[Sailontampabay240]

@DeathScythe3153

I made my weight using copper tubing from a surplus plumbing company filled with old lead pipe (also from the same surplus store).

Fantastic video! That is what I call dedication! So...when are you going to try your hand at building Boyer's Radiance clock? ;)

great presentation! i've seen a lot of these clayton boyer pieces. it's nice to have someone walk us through the construction of one.

and way to stick with it. you gotta have a "never say die!" philosophy if you're going to attempt a timepiece.

Timing is good. you can adjust by moving the pendulum bob up or down.

Do these gears use an involute or cycloidal profile?
