Blasphemy! … the idea of making 3D printed parts for a clock design that is over 100 years old. But I thought that the 15 tooth wheel would be a good candidate to explore. I have made a couple of samp

Sorry, yet another question.... Wanting to remove the slave movement from the front plate, the actual dial is printed on a nicely finished thin aluminium plate which seems to be stuck to the main plat

If only to keep me focused and not distracted by other things, I'm posting a picture of the case of this new project. Starting with the case which started life as a bare dark oak PO36 carcass and now

Do you know anybody who makes wooden clock cases (for money)? I have two 5.5-inch slave dial movements that need simple wooden (low-profile) cases made for them and I'm perfectly willing to pay for a

I have had this distribution board for a few years. I believe it is in working order but I have no idea how to power the board or supply it with a pulse. I have synchronome Master with a few attached
