THE HARD WAY: I am so not a clock maker
The staining looked great, the numbers on the clock face lined up perfectly and the gears all fit together perfectly. The thing was a work of art. The problem was it didn't work. When I hung the clock on the wall and attached the pendulum, it did nothing....

My good friend Jessie Hodgson and I have known each other since we were babies. ) and she is excitedly making last-minute preparations for baby's arrival. Over the last couple of months, she and her husband Brendan have been preparing and outfitting the nursery with all the required materials: a crib, a changing table, a rocking chair and dozens of other accoutrements needed to care for a newborn. Jessie chose not to learn the sex of her baby until its arrival and was firm in her wish to avoid any sort of gender 'colour coding' in the nursery: she hates the colour pink and also did not want a nursery decked out with soccer-ball and... There are some very special, personal touches in the room, as well, such as a dresser that Jessie used as a child and a beautiful, hand-painted mural of a tree that was created by my father, George Ritchie. Jessie's mother, Sharron, refurbished this solid-wood dresser and painted it a bright white. you can see the hand-painted mural in its reflection on the opposite wall. Jessie chose a bright green Jelly Bean changing mat to accent to the desaturated palette and hung pretty paper decorations from Michael's from the ceiling as a DIY mobile. Jessie approached my father about designing and painting a mural of a tree for the nursery and he spent several full days sketching and perfecting the painting, making sure the.

The amount of weight needed was at first quite disconcerting so rather than use a doubling pulley system I have just used a pulley which can be mounted anywhere on the wall, luckily for me my walls at home are actually just high enough that I can... Just need some space on a wall to mount it. Will have to talk nicely to the wife to move some pictures lol. The length of pendulum is 74in. I had originally thought to use your 3 click wind mechanism but forgot this when I cut the wind gear which has a “four spoke” design, so I had to design a 4 click mechanism and also beefed it up for the weight it... I used a second rewind barrel geared 1:1 with the driven one but with half the diameter so the drop of the counter weight could be straight down. As the weight needed to drive was so much the actual length of the weight tube restricted the running of the clock by almost a day. Using the pulley above the clock helps to support the weight of the clock its self, a bonus. The original design was to have used a grasshopper escapement of my own but I had to revert back to the graham escapement due to the fact the swing needed of the pendulum was just a bit too much.
