alternative to cnc for wood clocks
Steve, as you consider wood clock plans, pls keep in mind that some of us cut them with a laser printer/cutter. Thickness isn't usually an issue because it is easy enough to laminate thinner pieces. Similarly I cut and splice to create pieces otherwise too large for my printer. I've been using either baltic birch or hardwood veneer on mdf for my clocks, most of which are Clayton Boyer design.

It probably would be. I am starting with a printed clock, but keeping a wooden gear design in mind when designing it. Maybe I should run a quick strength comparison between PLA and plywood. 1/4" might even be enough.
