Thread: Beginners first simple clock kit / plans

02/06/2012 21:11:59

I would agree that the Alan Timmins longcase clock is a fantastic first clock to build. I did exactly that and every day I am pleased that I did! Recently I have started on John Wilding's English Dial Clock, and although I can follow the instructions, I have found them disappointing compared to the detail in Timmins book. Measurements are missed off diagrams, proper views are often not given, and the whole book lacks the detail which I came to expect having made my longcase clock. Also in Wildings book, there is little info on making your own cutters etc, which saves a small fortune if you are working to a budget!

In short, I am extremely glad that I started with Alan Timmins book (which taught me many useful skills) and then moved on to John Wilding.

Thread: Myford Super 7 - Which changewheel on reverse tumbler stud?

02/06/2012 20:19:51

Hi - I have a Super 7 with a quick change gearbox. After cutting several BA and metric threads with the metric conversion kit I now need to go back to cutting an imperial thread. Problem is that I've forgotten which gear was originally on the reverse tumbler stud, and the charts don't seem to have that detail.

Can anyone help?!
