"Clocktoberfest", I like it! More than a little bit of relief at this end, to see it spinning freely too! Thanks for the encouragement mate, I appreciate it :)

It was so satisying watching the clock coming together and the wheels spinning. I was surpised by the gear ratio! Nice to see that your fan base is growing rapidly as well! Well deserved :)

Hey Brendan, I have built up a great little clock reference library. Top of the list is George Daniels' "Watchmaking", followed by J Malcolm Wilds' "Wheel and Pinion Cutting in Horology". I also have a number of the older classic books by WJ Gazely and Donald De Carle. They all have something to add to the picture, but "Watchmaking" really stands out as a classic reference on just about every technique and issue.

Hey Chris. Where did you learn all about making clocks? any particular books?

I was grinning from ear to ear all weekend after seeing that train spin!

Awesome Patrick, I'm so pleased you're enjoying the vids! The escapement I will be using is a recoil, with a silk thread suspension.

I have to ask, what escapement are you using in this clock? As someone who repairs clocks for a living, and a hobby, this is so satisfying to watch!
