Dick H, I was mostly looking for theory, I had found a picture of one with the extended escape pinion, and wondered if that was the recommended way to go. I'm considering trying for a center seconds, although it will be quite a bit of extra work.

WH GS, I bought oversize stock to make my main plates and used some of that leftover stock to make the click spring. Mine is half hard engravers brass, which will take some bending before it breaks. I cut it out straight, filed it smooth, and bent it to shape. It seems I don't have a decent photo of it, i'll get one up sometime soon.

The information in this forum has been very helpful so far. I am building a version of this clock from the old book, and have had some trouble getting my ideas straight, probably because this is my first clock. Has anyone done a seconds hand? I see reference to this as an option in the newer version of the book, but I wasn't able to get a copy when I was looking to start the project.

I have made the great wheel and steel pinions for the train, but have yet to plant the train, Currently I'm looking over options and making plans before I start drilling holes in the plates.
