Zelda Themed Shield Clock
Переглядів 1895 місяців тому
Today we are looking at a Legend of Zelda themed shield clock I made for my science classroom. The clockworks are based on a late 1800’s Black Forest shield clock. This old clock was missing parts and I didn’t like the floral dial. Also, being a quarter striking movement I definitely couldn’t have a weight on the strike train as it would be class distraction. On the scale of 1 to 10 for difficu...

French Statue Clock Part 3: Applying Gold Leaf

Welcome back to the French Clock I’ve been restoring. This is video 3 in the series. It is my first time ever applying gold leaf. I think it went okay but applying it to the statue was very difficult for me. There were a lot of odd shapes and indentions which made it hard to wrap the gold leaf around as it is very brittle.

      Thanks Mark! Don’t normally like quartz but this one has some exquisite engineering related to early space tech. There’s also a gear these have which is the size of a pin head and has 303 teeth. When I changed the second hand I had to be extremely careful to advance it while pressing it in.

    Thanks for the video. The problem I'm having is that the pendulum stops swinging after about 3 to 5 minutes. The weight seems to be dropping, so I don't think there's any tangle in the chain. I just can't figure out why the pendulum stops. Any ideas?

    Very nice clock Seth. Love it other than the bell. They are too quiet. I would rather hear a gong. Post pictures of the clock in the group and ask Valentin Weber if he can tell you about the clock since he is the groups Black Forest expert.

    It’s crazy how this tall case musical clock is far more advanced than most of the early American tall case clock! I’m quite surprised by how much weights it carries! I’m sure it’s the same weight as 36” crt tv! The movement must have been cast brass which is why it was thick and heavy. Majestic bells sound!
