There was a post mentioning harrison. Oddly, the magazine article that inspired me to build this clock (the woodworker, April 2005) mentioned this. I have scaned the article and place a link to it here. It may take a while to download as it is about 10mb. I will post the link in my next post. I...

All very good valid. points. I guess i will just have to have a go and see what comes out.

Hi, to be honest I have no idea how much force there will be going through the teeth. Probably not that much, I was just trying to avoid disaster. I think that may be what I will do is cust a sample gear and see if i can test its strength som how.

The only consideration that I have to think about on this is that the gears are only going to be between 6mm and 10mm thick.

OK, I dont think i explained myself very clearly in my first post, so i have put together a couple of images depicting what I am trying to explain. Bascially, what I am trying to avoid is a cross grain situation on the very small teeth. In the following image you can see that I make 1 gear...

Hi All Just a quick post to find out if anyone has any tips for Gluing End grain. I know that this is not and ideal situation, but i feel that this would make the gears a little stronger for my All wood skeleton project. I fgire that if i make the gears out of 4 pieces each with the grain...

I have thought about that. I think that I will use a router trammel to get the outside dimension of the gears and then cut the teeth on the scroll saw. I have a great pdf of a router trammel it you want it, let me know and i will post a link to it. :D

Love your work. I see that you say that a clock may not be a good idea as the first scroll saw project. OOOPS. Just started my All wood skeleton project. Any suggestions, to make the job go a little smoother? :shock:

Thanks for all of the great comments so far. Really happy. The scroll Saw that i ordered arrived and I am really happy with it. I have yet to have a go, which will then tell me if it was worth my while buying it. If anyone has any newbie scroll saw tips that would be great. I have had a quick...

Right then, onto the build. I think that i have everything that i need. Scroll Saw - Should be delivered today. So Check Plans. Oh so many plans, Check Stock Pile of wood that I can mill to the required sizes. Check If you have any words of encouragement then feel free to leave me a comment. I...

OK. I have read throgh the plans and i think that I can make this work. They are a little confusing, as there appears to be about 50 gears to cut out by hand with a coping saw. Blimey i thought to myself. I may have to rethink this. Gears with 60 teeth all by hand. Erm No. Time to tap up the...

Thanks for the update. I thought i had done somthing wrong.

OK, So the picture above is going to be my next project. the clock is Designed by David Bryant and is made entirley of wood. Wood? I hear you say. Well yes. I have to cut all of the gears by hand and manufacture all of the dials and, well, everything from wood. On this page you will be able to...

Hi All, Love the site. I am just embarking on a new project. I have spent the last few years making pens and smaller items for friends family and customers, but i figured that it was time to test some new skills. I have had the plans for the David Bryant All Wood Skeleton Clock for about 4...
