Yes I agree!

Thanks Chris, I remembered I have Smith's book with the included drawings. One thing I might add is that I don't knurl any longer. I use a ball nosed end mill and dividing head to indent my knobs. Works just as well and I think it looks nicer. Simple math to get equal spacing, if that's what you want, allows you to know exact sizes without waste. Best, Rob

I made this tool from the plans published by Bill Smith - you can get the plans from his many clock construction books here: <a href="http://www.wrsmithclocks.com/books.htm" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.wrsmithclocks.com/books.htm</a> The tool dimensions are repeated in many of his books, eg pg 106 of "Clock Repair for Beginners and Advanced Craftsmen" Cheers, Chris.

How do patrons get access to the drawings for this project? Thanks.
