Beautiful clock. Did you make it? Admirable skill... This shou.d be taught to children in schools. What wonderful videos one finds on the internet.

Thanks for your kind comments, yes I designed and built the little clock. The concept dates back to probably the 1100s.

Cool clock and great craftsmanship, nice work!

Such skill!

Wow so talented

Enjoyed your beautiful clock. Cool winding handle. I have read verge/foliot were not accurate, curious to know if you tested it's accuracy? Seems like if you are within 15 minutes a day, that's about the best you can ask for. Of course the pendulum was a more reliable timekeeper. But I enjoy the look and sound of the verge/foliot. It's also easier to understand the movement, compared to more complex movements.

G'day Michael, thanks for your kind comments re the clock. As the concept is quite rudimentary so is the accuracy, though entirely adequate for life in medieval times. The clock was a delight to design and build and it quietly clanks away day and night here in our hallway, I can hear it now as I write this reply. Cheers, gmay

Very nice

Beautiful clock! What was the process you used to make your gears?

Thanks for your kind comments. I cut (hob) the gears in a milling machine using a rotary table and a suitable gear tooth profile cutter. It's tedious but it works for me.
