Printed Clocks

It was a matter of weight. The pawls I last had used a small magnet which only weighted 0.92g... not enough to stop the rachet dead each tooth or click. The pawl I created uses 14.75g (A lot more weight). I first did it with 5 pennies with a printed cap over them but really wanted something smaller. I found 15mm brass discs that did the trick and looked much better on the pawl. I also put a small piece of felt on the pawl. The clock now is almost completely slient running.

This of course is running the clock on the new pendulum driver I created. It has plenty of amplitude to keep the pendulum swing with that much weight on the pawl. The clock has not stopped once in the 3 months running. And only off in time by 7.5 seconds. The videos show how well the second…

Just building my second clock, completed large moon phase, and building small pendulum (SP05B), and noticed in the instructions on page 45, you indicate to use 3” 3mm rod for pallet assembly, that should be 3 1/2” rod surely, also says 323 bearing instead of 623 bearings

Color schemes copyrights belong to my daughers, it was a teamwork :)

Happy New Year!

Hi Steve, I am just starting to assemble my SP14 clock. I ordered the parts on Etsy (Thank you!)

When I got to page 22 in the assembly guide it mentions a 75mm arbor in the 3mm section but the package from etsy does not contain it, it does look like there is an extra 75mm piano wire size is that what should be used instead. This might become clearer later but wanted to ask :) Thanks! Herbert
