WOODEN GEAR CLOCK 2

MY project has been moving along but slowly. It's going slow for a couple of reasons. First I work on it a little bit here and a little bit there. So I'm not working 6-8 hours a day on it. It is not my job. Second I'm taking it slow because I want to get it right. I'm still enjoying it though so that is a plus.

I've reached the stage where 99% of the pieces are cut out. I'm now sanding individual pieces and just starting to assemble various parts.


I now have a scroll saw that allows me to do more intricate cuts like cutting teeth.

Just tonight I was sanding a particular piece and broke it in half. That means I will need to cut a replacement. And so it goes.

I have to file individual teeth once cut out. It takes time and a bit of patience.

Once I'm done with a piece I place them on the plans so I can keep track of what I've completed.

Will it work once done or will it be a piece of "art" hanging on a wall in the basement? Time will tell.
