Quick update
Added 2016-08-17 01:55:40 +0000 UTCHey Folks,
A quick update for you on my progress with the next video drop.
I had planned to cover the escapement construction in a single episode, but there is so much good stuff to show in this part of the build, the video has grown to over 25 minutes, with still a bit more shooting to to be completed.
I'm reluctant to cut too much of it out, so I'm splitting it into 2 separate videos of approx 15 minutes each. One covering some of the escapement fittings, and the second covering the pallets (above) and first tick of the mechanism. Its led to a bit of a delay in the release, but I think it will be a better result leaving more detail in and releasing an extra episode.
The first of these videos should be up for $3+ patrons by the end of this week, and the second one will follow approx a week later.
Cheers,
Chris.

2017-04-26 19:52:38 +0000 UTCHey Toby, this is the motor/speed control I use: <a href="https://www.sherlinedirect.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&product_id=1242&CFID=129198364&CFTOKEN=66820455" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.sherlinedirect.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&product_id=1242&CFID=129198364&CFTOKEN=66820455</a> and the belt is the extra long version. I can't seem to find the part number using their search, but I recall speaking to the main guy in the warehouse to track them down when I purchased them.

2017-04-26 19:46:15 +0000 UTCHi Chris, I'm trying out Fusion 360. It's nice and easy, I have only ever used 2d AutoCad. I need to know, what Sherline motor and belt are you using to cut the wheels? Myself and the guys at Sherline are not sure.

2017-04-26 16:23:47 +0000 UTCHey Toby, I'd love to but I think it would cross a line regarding intellectual property. If you're game, get onto Fusion360 and have a crack at modeling it for yourself. Its an excellent project to teach yourself CAD :)

2017-04-24 19:58:51 +0000 UTCHi Chris, Just received my copy of the Wilding Clock plans. As it is all in Imperial sizes and seeing as you have already drawn it all up on a computer... is it possible to have a copy of your plans for the clock? It would make life so much easier to have a modern, printable copy... not just for me, but all of your fellow Patreons. Cheers and keep going!

2016-08-28 07:40:24 +0000 UTCHonestly, it can be a bit of a chore getting a good polish, and I'm rarely happy either. The last video will be on the finishing, but I won't be spending much time on the steel parts, for the most part they are about as good as I can get them! I use diamantine powder on a tin lap for black polishing, as per George Daniels' "Watchmaking". Still a long way to go before I am truly happy with my results, but I'm getting a more consistent result than I was a year or two ago :)

2016-08-27 22:05:51 +0000 UTCHi Chris, as a wannabe clock maker, part way through the ME Jubilee Clock, a video devoted entirely to finishing and polishing would be superb. Just looking at the mirror finish on the pallets makes me wonder how you get there. I can never get rid of every last scratch .

2016-08-17 02:37:03 +0000 UTCOhhhhh, that's a beautiful piece of work. I don't mind if it's a week or a month or a five-minute or a thrity-minute video. I can't wait to see this clock evolve even more!
