Mr. Boyer, you are very gifted. You are one of the few numbered with Goodrich, Becket, and even Harrison (I mean that sincerely) who have inspired me to design my own clocks. I certainly don't mean to steal any thunder from Ronald and his MAGNIFICENT WORK! Thank you both for even more inspiration. Like Newton said, "I stand on the shoulders of giants" - you two ... thanks again!

5 years ago I worked in an office. A few RUclips videos later and now I design and make a variety of wooden models (I bought the plans for this clock and did not design it). Just do it.
@@pixiechick4367 I am currently working on making chess pieces for the chess board that I made a while ago and will post it once it is done. Unfortunately making 32 pieces takes ages (at this stage I have 17 done!) - but I think the whole set will be nice and will definitely have a video of the process.
It is refreshing to see handmade construction. A friend gave me a book about making wooden clocks. Im very excited to try my hand and create something wonderful for my family. We need a clock. Wish me luck:) Looking forward to more of your videos
it is a Awesome work. I saw a similar clock in Hong Kong. It is made with all wood, no metal bearing, screw, shift or etc. We have very advance mechanical watch in the world. I think old art thing should be with all old material.

What a passion man! I am fascinated by clock mechanisms but your skill in building such pieces of engeneering just blow my mind. I notice that you have only 5k subscribers, thats normal, the people that can understund art engeneering are not too many . Just go ahead .
Its great to see someone else that actually uses tools instead of lasers. I dont understand why they think assembling a puzzle their computer made as being skillful.
It runs just over 24 hours on a single wind and is quite accurate over this period. I wind it every morning which means stopping it for a few moments and then adjust the hands slightly once done.
Good job! I like this video.i have a question ,to have an accurate time keeping how calculate the length of pendulum ,and how to calculate the weight ,i think when we put too much weight the clock runs bad
Clayton Boyer designed this clock and has a lot of information on calculating the various things that make it work. Here is a few answers for the some questions:www.lisaboyer.com/Claytonsite/frequentquestions.htm. And here is a bit more on how to design the pendulum and calculate the length: wikipedia.org/wiki/Seconds_pendulum
Amazing! Thanks for sharing. l want to buy the plan and make one, too. Does the clock show the time correctly? l mean the accuracy of the clock. And the last; Is it running too loud? 😅
It keeps time quite well, but read this page by Clayton where he also discuss accuracy (www.lisaboyer.com/Claytonsite/frequentquestions.html). It is not very loud but I would not recommend placing it in the bedroom.
holy crap!!! Thats amazing. How long did that take you to build? Looks very time consuming. At least if you have a wheel or escapement wear out you can build a replacement.
@@kwacz I am not sure it will happen in my lifetime. There are wooden clocks that are quite old and using modern composite woods, like plywood, should keep it running for many years or even decades to come.
Every day when I wind it I use my muscle power to lift the weight thereby capturing it (potential energy). The clock runs from this the rest of the day. It does not use electrical energy as most other clock in our house does.
Thanks :) There were several reasons why I did not use the laser for the gears. First was that I started this project almost 4 yeas ago, long before I got a laser. I had 3 gears cut but stopped until about a month ago. I wanted to finish the project in the same way as I started it by cutting the gears by hand (I did however trace them by laser). The second reason is that the wood is 6mm which is almost too thick and 12mm which is definitely too thick to cut through (I could have used 3 and 4 mm and glued pieces together but this seemed inelegant). Another reason is that the burnt edges might be a bit too sticky (there is always a slight residue). To remove it would have been a lot of work - and I think it would have taken more time than just cutting the gears (if I had a small belt sander it might have worked - it certainly would have helped during this project in any case). I am however happy that I did finish the gears by cutting it by hand.
@@Induku Thanks for the answer, i only worked with industrial laser cutters, 10-15 mm plywood is easy to cut with industrial cutters, but the burnt edges are still problem. Other way if cutted with cnc router. I like your quality works.
My answer for me is I made it, not a computer controlled laser. The clock is 400 year old technology, not state of the art 2000's. I just started on this clock, having made a different clock 19 years ago of a much different design.
@@IndukuThank you for the awesome video but I think the gear ratio for minute hand is 60.0625:1😅😅 In future i would like to work on a project with you if you are fine with it.😊
Hi Ronald...such a great art... awesome..!!! Can u plz share the gear details and calculation... Or can u just make a video of it... It will be great to understand...!
The weight drives the mechanism, and the "rocker" at the top of the pendulum regulates the rate of energy used, translates into time, with the right adjustments.
Using brass in stead of wood for most parts should be OK. Changing the size might be problematic depending on which parts you wand to resize. The designer have more information on this on his site here: lisaboyer.com/Claytonsite/frequentquestions.htm
@@Induku Thanks Mate! I wouldn't change the size. Only the gear / wheel thickness. Thick Brass sheets are heavy and expensive. Says.... From 12 mm to 6 mm and 6 to 3 respectively.
@@BurmeseExplorer I think reducing the thickness would not be a problem - especially when using metal. With wood you have the problem that the plywood sometimes warp slightly and 3mm is not very thick given the diameter of the gears. This might lead to some problems with that can miss align (especially if the temperature and humidity change a lot and thin plywood). But with brass this should not be a problem. I can highly recommend this video series on the Clickspring channel for inspiration on making a beautiful clock from brass: ruclips.net/p/PLZioPDnFPNsHLGLuDI_5NQJAyTe36Uq80
What a beautiful piece of workmanship, I have made one as well, but I have had trouble making mine run, everything seems to be smooth, but still no success any advice
Clyaton Boyer has a whole checklist of things that might help to fix the problem in the section "Why doesn’t my clock run? " on this page: www.lisaboyer.com/Claytonsite/frequentquestions.htm I hope this helps!

Super belle cette pendule!
Wow... What a talent 🙏👍🙏
I bought your orrery kit. My son learned about orbits at 2 1/2 years old. Thanks!
What's the accuracy? It's a nice looking pendulum assembly
It is quite accurate over a 24 hour period. I usually check it when winding each day but do not really adjust it that often.
Nice, I'm thinking of making one of these on my 3D printer.
Hola Ronald. Excelente . donde puedo conseguir los planos
This is incredible. Amazing job
привет , нет ли файлов в dfx ? пожалуйста , поделитесь прямой сылкой . также другими проектами. спасибо

Is it %100 accurate. Do you need to do something for fixing and making it accurate. Without any battery or something like this. How it works.
Very beautiful
Magnifico! 👏🏼 I want that!
This is amazing. How much time did you spend to complete the project?
I think I worked on it for about 3 weeks.

So incredible. But I really want to make one. How to make it??? 😞
How accurate is the clock (if it could run forever how long till noon is clearly incorrect)? How long can it stay active without rewinding
It runs just over 24 hours on a single wind and is quite accurate over this period. I wind it every morning which means stopping it for a few moments and then adjust the hands slightly once done.
Волшебник!
How much would one of these handmade clocks cost? I am not interested in buying i just wanna know how u would price yours. Answer when u can please
Great. It is an art piece.
This is amazing! was going to subscribe and realized that I already was a subscriber! 😅

Very nice!
holy crap!!! Thats amazing. How long did that take you to build? Looks very time consuming. At least if you have a wheel or escapement wear out you can build a replacement.
I spent around 3 weeks making this clock but I started the process a few years earlier and did not work on it for a long time.
@@Induku cool, being made from wood if you were to let it run constantly, how long would it last before it wears out.
@@kwacz I am not sure it will happen in my lifetime. There are wooden clocks that are quite old and using modern composite woods, like plywood, should keep it running for many years or even decades to come.
Awesome!
where were you find sizes for for gears? Nice video!
It run without power? Nice very nice
Every day when I wind it I use my muscle power to lift the weight thereby capturing it (potential energy). The clock runs from this the rest of the day. It does not use electrical energy as most other clock in our house does.

The plans for this clock are available from Clayton Boyer here: www.lisaboyer.com/Claytonsite/Claytonsite1.htm
Want to buy it
Can anyone tell me how to findthe length of the pendulum ...
Normally a pendumum for this type of clock is approximately 1 meter in length. Here are more details and information: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendulum
@@IndukuThank you for the awesome video but I think the gear ratio for minute hand is 60.0625:1😅😅

The lathe is a Unimat but I got it as a gift many many years ago and I do not think that it is made anymore.

The plans are available here: www.lisaboyer.com/Claytonsite/Claytonsite1.htm
@@Induku Thanks dear
Amazing! What does the weighted part do (not the pendulum)?
The weight store the kinetic energy to drive the clock. This is used in the place of, for example, a spring mechnism.
@@Induku Ok. Thank you! I'm thinking about building a clock that doesn't use a battery.
Is this clock just decoration? I guess it can't show time very accurate?
It actually works really well. It keeps time very accurate since the pendulum has a regular swing. Just need to wind it every day.
Amazing
It's a great work. I'm also carpenter. Please can you give me that measurement?
Wow! That was on another level!Really enjoyed watching 😊
i surprise from where this clock gets energy?
the hexagonal weight. Gravity pulls it down
The weight drives the mechanism, and the "rocker" at the top of the pendulum regulates the rate of energy used, translates into time, with the right adjustments.
Old tech, like about 400 years ago.
How do you sleep with the ticking?
Boas noite! Amigo querido tudo bem? Como posso adquirir este modelo para montagem em casa? Algum site de venda?? Preciso
Is it really possible to make gears accurate enough to work in a clock using a scroll saw..??? ..🤔
Yes!
GREAT
Beautiful work.....What did you the counterweight with?
Thanks. They weight is filled with small lead balls.
how long does it take to make it?
The total time when done in one go would probably be a few weeks. But I did not work on it for a few months at a time so it took much longer.
how long does it last with the gravity assist?
Given the height mine is mounted on - a bit more than 28 hours but I wind it every day.
Ở VN có ai bán không nhỉ. ? Minnf rất thích mấy mẫu này.
Сколько времени пройдёт, перед тем, как механизм придёт в негодность?
Superb...excellent..
U will adjust time daily??
You can follow the design pictures with the measurements
