Another update... Love the moon dial clock but also love the open dial clock so I decided to shrink the moon down a bit so I could still see through the face.
Yeah, I like the look. Unfortunately, as you can see in the photo of the gearing, I'm using 3 new gears to get the moon moving at the correct speed, however 3 makes the moon move counterclockwise. LOL. I've since fixed it with two gears & it works well. Now I'm on to the second hand in the upper portion of the dial. :)
Clever!
Very cool. It really opens up the center of the clock.
Here's the gearing at the back of the moon dial if anyone is interested.
