I would think that alot of model engineers clock makers etc develope their skills and equipement as they go

There is always more than one way to skin a cat hopefully!!

Thanks for the reply andrew.

Neil.

I think you are right photo etching seems to be the way to go and i am researching this at the moment.

Thanks andrew.

Thanks marcus for the reply.

Hi stephen i used a similar method when making my dial i also marked in the numbers with a uni fine line pen as a check.have you made your own bell ?. If you want to contact me my phone number is 01628 473140.andrew mcleish

Yes stephen i have recently finished j ws ornamental scroll clock ,my first attempt at clock making.

I made my own cutters and division plates in fact the only bought in items were the dome and spring.

The cutters just entered the first space on all the wheels on completion of machining.

I followed all of mr wildings dimensions without problems that i can recall may be i was just lucky
