Wood Construct Cogs Spring Driven Clock

This is a video of a wooden clock I recently made. The frame was made from some old oak furniture I had knocking about. The gears and other quotredquot wood parts

Because there is an age-old connection between clock-making and automata, I suspected there was a lot an automata-maker could learn in constructing a clock. So, I decided to build a clock called The Ascent. I learned some valuable lessons while building this clock, many of which might help you with your next mechanical wood project. 1.

Since the escapement gear rotates once every 60 seconds, we can make another axle rotate once every 3,600 seconds. This will be our minute hand. Then we can make another axle rotate once every 43,200 seconds 12 hours. This will be our hour hand. When we calculate this we will have a functioning clock on paper.

It includes an exploded view diagram showing the individual parts, their numbers and descriptions. Dimensioned diagrams show cross sections and details of the frame subassembly.

8-day Spring-Driven Brass Clocks 30-hr Weight-Driven Brass Clocks NAWCC Chapter 194 Cog Counters is working to make the Excel version available again. The first three, and earliest, of the movements shown below do not follow the Terry design. Type 5.112 30-hr wooden works movement with brass bushings original from a c. 1832 Jeromes

Weight-driven wood clocks with a regulating pendulum use an escapement. Because our pendulum not only regulates, but drives, the clock, we use a ratchet and pawl arrangement. Install the 12-tooth pinion with clutch, clutch face down. Slide a spring onto the shaft. Install gear set four. Install the hour hand assembly, placing a nylon washer

Spring-driven clocks, therefore, require special compensating mechanisms that are beyond the scope of this article. The most practical power source for mechanical clocks is the energy provided by a falling weight, which remains constant for the duration of the weight fall. It is a simple matter to compensate for the internal friction of the

Secondly if you have a close look at some old clocks you will see that the top part of the pendulum is actually a strip of spring steel and hits between 2 close fitting stops below the pivot point.

Woodworking plans for wooden geared clocks, kinetic sculptures, and celestial instruments. Clayton Boyer Clock Designs and in back of the large cog is the pulley that would be used in the weight-driven version. The original Whirly is powered by either a drive weight or by a constant force spring. Ken has powered his colorful Whirly with
