Woodenclock Clock l Fits between components
Notes
Loose Tight Bond
1. Use close-grained timber such as Beech planed down to a thickness of 1
10 mm for all components unless otherwise stated. 1 & 20 11 & 5 1 & 19
1 &7 11 & 8 1 &2
2. All shafts for spindles should be made from 6 mm diameter bar. 1 & 29 12 & 13 1&3
16 & 17 20 & 21 1&8
3. Any suitable material can be used for the weight. The mass of the weight 27 & 28 20 & 22 14 & 15
will need to be established by experiment, but a good starting point would 29 & 32 22 & 23 14 & 16
22 & 24 3&8
be 6 lbs.
31 & 37 25 & 28 4 & 13
32 & 29 26 & 28 4 & 19
4. Details of the dial numerals are shown for guidance only, the actual form
4 &20 30 & 34 7&2
of the numerals is left to your own discretion. They can be applied by 4 & 27 32 & 33 45 & 46
painting or as relief numerals cut from thin sheet. 4 & 29 32 & 34
4 & 44 32 & 35
5. The hands are again given for guidance only, although in this instance 4 & 47 35 & 37
they are drawn to size so that you can copy these if you wish. They should 45 & 4 38 & 40
in any event be cut from thin sheet. 46 & 4 44 & 4
44 & 45
6. Where the components are drawn to 1:1 scale you can attach the drawing 44 & 46
to the timber using a low tack adhesive, and cut around the profiles. Great 47 & 30
care should be taken with this approach when cutting the gear teeth 6&5
because they need to be cut very accurately to avoid problems when 9&5
assembling the clock 9&8
28 & 35
7. The frame is held together using 3 pins fitted through holes cross-drilled 29 & 35
after assembly.

8. Care should be taken to adjust the pallets (23 & 24) relative to the timing
wheel. They should operate to allow the timing wheel to move
incrementally forward when swinging through a small arc of movement of
the pendulum. (<10°).

9. The pitch of the gears is controlled by the drilling of the hole centres in the
front and back frames. It may help to delay the drilling of these holes in
the frames until after the gears are first cut and then linished to size. At
this point it would help to mount them on two separate pieces of wood and
test there free movement one to the other and measure the centre
distance between them, so that the hole centres can be drilled at this
dimension rather than the theoretical dimension on the drawing.

10. The winder used is not drawn on the plans but a simple 'T' bar with a
square hole in the end to engage over the end of the square end of the
shaft holding the winding gears.

11. The profiling of the larger gears is not necessary to the functioning of the
clock, and can be carried out at the discretion of the clock builder. Notes LAW WOODEN CLOCK 1
