:) Here, I begin my first wooden mechanism.
Some of my friends advised me one to do it as a trial with the MDF, it is a sort of highly compressed wood.
This morning so I made my plans to scale, to stick on my wood, so I have work to do tomorrow at an exhibition in the street which will bring together artists and craftsmen of wood and of all kinds.
I could not help but begin to cut the first wheel of my clock.
Here is the result;

Thats a nice looking gear, thats one of Brian Law's patterns.
-
That is nice precision cutting! Keep the pictures coming. It will be nice to see the progress.
Sheila ;)
-
:D Of course Schell, every day I'll come to in this post the changes in my work! ... I had already said in another post. I started this post it to mention that this ... ;)
-
Looks good so far. I want to start another clock soon. Keep us posted on the progress
-
Very nice detail. Keep us updated with your progress.

:) Yesterday, Sunday, so I went to an exhibition of street artists for my club and others from France, Holland, Belgium or Germany and took place at the same time a competition internationnal painting art and I was on the jury.
During the day I did a demonstration of fretwork to say to pass the time. Of course I worked on my clock and several wheels. Let me tell you that my audience was very surprised that I fesais, not believing that this really horlore turn in coming days.
Here are these wheels, there are now 5 in total. ;)

Little by little the bird builds its nest! ... ;D
-
It sounds like you had a great day! What a great festival it must be. I am sure being around all that art and creativity really inspired you to work on your clock. The gears are coming along great and look wonderful. Keep us posted.
Sheila :)
-
Nice work, I like it. Thanks for posting the progress of your work. 8)
-
:) A few wheels of fact, there are 10 in fact I still have four to do. Then I attack with axes ;)

:) hello friends! ...
For the person who also built the clock and that is blocked by the workpiece 21.
The piece was omitted in the plans exploded.
It is however in the page 10/10. Build this room if you have not already.
See the map in that direction.
(http://sd-4.archive-host.com/membres/images/62652096914315950/PlansPatrick/Piece21a.jpg)
Take the top tenth and see the detail. I placed the piece 21 to where it should be. I colored in red.
(http://sd-4.archive-host.com/membres/images/62652096914315950/PlansPatrick/Piece21b.jpg)
Bonne continuation, j'esp?re voir des photos!...
-
That is some fine, precision cutting!
-
It looks great Patrick, but to detailed for me.
-
;) Yesterday was a rainy day, so no external work. I took the opportunity to move forward on my clock.
All wheels are mainrtenant fact, I decided to make the axes.
But I have no turn, he passed away. So I decided to make an interim basis with my drill.
For that, I started to secure my drill on my workbench.
(http://sd-4.archive-host.com/membres/images/62652096914315950/PlansPatrick/Tour3.jpg)
I then did a semblance of "doll" with a block of wood that I put a roll.
(http://sd-4.archive-host.com/membres/images/62652096914315950/PlansPatrick/Tour2.jpg)
I then took a stick of wood which I forr a transverse diameter of 6 millimeters, it had slipped a threaded rod 6 mm in diameter and clamped with nuts.
(http://sd-4.archive-host.com/membres/images/62652096914315950/PlansPatrick/Tour4.jpg)I put the threaded rod at one end into the chuck of my drill pui other in the axis of Roulle ball. I set the doll on my sets.
(http://sd-4.archive-host.com/membres/images/62652096914315950/PlansPatrick/Tour1.jpg)
From there I can now do my lines drilled in their lengths, and make "tubes".
But I quickly realized that I had interest in building my frame before continuing anything else.
(http://sd-4.archive-host.com/membres/images/62652096914315950/PlansPatrick/Pendule02.jpg)
I also made some other small parts such as the future top clockmaker.
(http://sd-4.archive-host.com/membres/images/62652096914315950/PlansPatrick/Pendule01.jpg)

Great job! Coming right along on the project. Thanks for the pictues and keeping us posted. :) :) :)
-
This brings back all the memories of the clock I built. Makes me want to jump into another one
-
:) Yesterday I did not made much progress, I finished the pendulum, which I intend to add even a fancy scalloped circle on the weight.
I also fully support finished.
:'( I made the little clockmaker with two tips that come in a large wheel, but when making the holes to put these points, the broken piece. So I have to redo this part. :-\
:-\ Having tried to do my lines of 6 mm in diameter, I quickly realized I had to go to my hardware store to buy round wood for this purpose. ;D
-
:) Here, I put all the pieces in my clock. After several tries and setting it spinning.
Of course being made as a test, I used MDF which did not last long on time, and I had to repeat the main Ferris wheel, this time in plywood.
Again, the teeth were worn very quickly and already it has gone wrong.
So I start everything but this time with the hardwood (beech). Normally this should go.
Initially it was too much weight to make it work, so I made a change in my plans and the design of the clock. I put the rope on the bottom line of course with the winding mechanism that goes with it. At the time, it takes two times less weight, you just need to turn the key upside for the clock back, but that is a detail.
I have in my store of wood, yet in lilac branch that I normally use for small turned objects. I intend to use it to support my own design.
Here the result by photo;

But the drama is not over, because now comes the serious work in the right wood. I intend to turn my wheels so great to decorate them in addition to their function, so I start from scratch ... See you later! ...
-
Keep us posted , for this looks like a very intense project ..........you have my vote .....
-
:D To start, here are the full plans in PDF as I obtained the boards.
http://sd-4.archive-host.com/membres/up/62652096914315950/PDF/Clock1.pdf (http://sd-4.archive-host.com/membres/up/62652096914315950/PDF/Clock1.pdf)
That's it go again, but this time it's serious. All parts of this clock will be made of beech, except that the frame will be oak.
The next weekend I do a demonstration in a French city not far from home. Therefore, I prepare my documents for work.
Already, a piece is finished. This wheel was shot unlike previous ones which had just been cut from the model. Teeth and inner will of course be cut to the jigsaw.
Several wheels are already prepared for next weekend, they turned and stuck on the model (my way). ;)
(http://sd-4.archive-host.com/membres/images/62652096914315950/Horl_hetre/Rouage1.jpg)Here, the timing wheel, shot in beech. The teeth are cut and interiors. It is part # 25
(http://sd-4.archive-host.com/membres/images/62652096914315950/Horl_hetre/Rouage02.jpg)Here, a few other wheels, shot in beech. The teeth and interiors will be cut with a saw.
-
;) I stopped a few days to construct a new lathe. This wekeend during my exit, so I worked the gears in beech. These have been previously turned on a lathe, I then pasted the drawing of each piece on each of them, then I did the cutting teeth and interiors. So my hollow pin and the anchor and other parts of my body clock has been made this wekeend. Yesterday I started to mount in the old oak. Everything was made from salvaged timber, for he is old beech drawers of a cabinet that I dismantled, the oak, it be an old fence at my beautiful oak recovered son. Of course I had to work the wood to use for my clock.
Here are all my pieces; ;)

Looks intense.
Keep us posted.

;) Here are two amounts that are finished in oak, which I still have to brace supports the clock.
(http://sd-4.archive-host.com/membres/images/62652096914315950/Horl_hetre/Montants.jpg)
would show you the ride I made from iron found in congestion, and the engine block of my drill press. I finished the painting yesterday! ...

;) My amount is now complete, there will be more than varnish it later. For now it is editing. In this first image shows a part (A) which will replace another (B). This profile piece was shot in the oak, I think it will add charm to my clock.
(http://sd-4.archive-host.com/membres/images/62652096914315950/Horl_hetre/Debut_montage.jpg)
During testing for the adjustment of gears, I saw that I had to rectify all the teeth of fourth gear. Then too, one of the small gear ...

Horror ... A tooth was broken ... I was lucky to find it and be able to pick his spot.
(http://sd-4.archive-host.com/membres/images/62652096914315950/Horl_hetre/Debut_montage2.jpg)
Now neither seen nor heard! ... I almost have to redo this gear! ... ;)

This is much detailed work. Do you sell your clocks?
-
:D Hello Janet
This is the first of its kind that I do, and I intend to sell it one day after making others. For now, I do research and above all learning and I try to explain to friends what forums jokes that I can meet in the building, it is always instructive, both for myself as for others .
Now when referring to a clock of its kind in the united states, it is still not done, it is huge, especially the balance which is a meter long. Also during the installation of the clock on the wall, you should know you do it and know especially well balanced and adjusted. I do not know, but the charges of transportation must be considerable ...
-
;) First some changes made from the original plan.
After touring parts 5 and 8 to make more beautiful than simple cubic, I placed a small threaded rod diameter 6 mm (A).
(http://sd-4.archive-host.com/membres/images/62652096914315950/Horl_hetre/changements1.gif)
These buttons have a small thread of 6 millimeters in diameter and used to "close" the amount.
(http://sd-4.archive-host.com/membres/images/62652096914315950/Horl_hetre/changements2.gif)
That is a lot cleaner
(http://sd-4.archive-host.com/membres/images/62652096914315950/Horl_hetre/changements3.gif)
Here I have changed the room 31 as I thought that this piece is too fragile. It was enough to glue a thin piece (B) of beech glued on an axis in the wheel No. 35 (C)
(http://sd-4.archive-host.com/membres/images/62652096914315950/Horl_hetre/changements4.gif)
Oops, this small error on my part, I forgot that the axis of the anchor was to receive part 21, so that I did it too short. This axis is re ...
(http://sd-4.archive-host.com/membres/images/62652096914315950/Horl_hetre/changements5.gif)
-
;D And now, it was enough to do it! ... It remains for me to make my auctions and my needles and mount them on my clock is now mechanically complete.
Then again remove all seen in the varnish, being careful not to put in places of polished sensitive mechanism in order not to block it. ;D
(http://sd-4.archive-host.com/membres/images/62652096914315950/Horl_hetre/fin_montage1.jpg)
And if to say, "It has a clock running !..."
Now, I stop temporarily fretwork, because it's cherry season, and have plenty of work to my collection. This should last about two weeks, then I probably would start another clock of this kind.
-
You must have the patience of a saint!
-
That is amazing. Very good job! Congratulations on your success!
-
8) Thank you Janet and Becky, in France they say impossible is not French at home in Belgium they say many things, first is, "who wants to can", the second is "patience is the primary, it helps simply "
And I've been saying for decades that the gift exists in the mind of man, just learn to know. Maybe this is only famous Don patience and courage. I have a little patience, courage, just enough, but a lot of dexterity after studying everything about everything throughout my life and even now at the age of retirement. ;D
-
Nice. Glad to see it up and running. Good job. 8)
-
A lot of fine cutting ........
-
;D Thank you Russ and Marshall, when the cherry season is over I put the next clock, it will be explained in another post. ;D
