Clockwork...

i got a hair up my ass & decided to try to make a clock...
I started by just wanting to see if I could actually cut the cogs required for the internal workings of the clock...


I used a 1/4 artist board and cut the gears:


gettin there...

I put the cogs through a test & determined that the pressure on the teeth was too much as they started to break quickly.

So, I cut some 9.25 mm planks from cedar:
hand planed cedar planks & plans

and attached the templates to them so that I can start all over again tomorrow:
