Thread: Hello all

Many thanks for all the replies.

I have been browsing through the John Wilding designs and am wondering if his castle clock may be the one to try.

I have watched the click spring videos and there is a wealth of information there but the clock he built is a step to far at the moment.

Thanks again

Another new member (based in the West Midlands) clocking in and looking for advice.

As background many years ago I served a mechanical engineering apprenticeship so had training on machine tools but have not had any further experience using machines so much relearning to do.

Having now retired I am hoping to set up a small workshop. A year or two ago I designed and built a CNC routing machine on which I cut all the parts for a wooden clock which runs well.

This has given me the urge to make a ‘proper’ clock. I could do with some advice on which machines to get. I have been considering the Seig SC4 lathe and the SX2 mill. Would these be suitable for clock making?

And any advice on a suitable clock design to start off on?

Thanks

George
