About the accuracy of this design and my own build up, it probably goes near 2-3 minutes a day, but I can't report with some confidence. My clock was born 6 years ago, and it is since then sleeping in my vacation home as decorative element. I'll inform you about your question just after my next full day on holidays there.

Thank you for yor fine comments about tha cycloid gears.

Yes, James. It is Menuet I-II from "Music for the Royal Fireworks", Handel. Thak you for your words.

Gracias, hermana.

Thanks I didnt get the plans from woodprix but from woodentimes. I will check woodprix anyway as I didnt know it

@@AntonioGimeno Nice one. Woodentimes is amazing. Check woodprix however.

Hello, Igor. Yes, every axle rod has 3 mm. diameter. The bearings 3.1 (inner diameter) allow to pass freely the axles throu the hole from the rear frame. Then the grub screw holds the axle in place ensuring a minimal metal-metal friction among them, and adjusting the room for the axle avoids any "to and fro" to both axle and gears.

@@AntonioGimeno Hello Antonio. Thank You for Your answer. Now I see. I would like to ask You some questions: a/ Six spacers are glued to the both frames in final version ? b/ Why do You keep 45 mm room between frames (is it enough?) ? In Brian Law planes is distance 63 mm between both frames. c/ Is cca 0,65 kg (25 oz.) weight enough ? Brian Law recommend cca 2 kg weight. Or is it due to Your bearings (Brian have no bearings) ? Thank You for Your answer again.

@@igorsvetlik9321 Hello, Igor. Yes, the rubber bands worked along the testing time only. You you will get that 45 mm. room between frames only if you: - use 5 mm. plywood for your gears instead of those 6 mm. proposed by Law. - re-arrange the placing of some gears in the AP axis. - minimize the distance between neighboring gears. Then you will have a lighter and more attractive look at your clock. The weight: after adding bearings to both frames, the needed weight was much smaller then expected. After building up a new clock, put a cooking weight under the weight itself, and watch, when the clockc stops, how less weight do you need. The back frame: being also 5 mm. tick, needed a little wooden suppplement to accomodateth those grub screws for every axle.

@@AntonioGimeno Hello Antonio. I am going to make this clock shortly, so before starting I have got a lot of questions. Here are my next questions: a/ how is allen screw coupled with winding gear ? Glued or screwed with bushing of the windig gear ? Is there no bearing and no axle rod ? b/ How is connected the short axle rod (for the gears 49 and 50) to the front frame ? Is it glued or through the bearing ? What is a diameter of this short axle rod ? 3mm too ? Please be patient with me. Thank You for Your answer again and again...

@@igorsvetlik9321 Hello, Igor. As you can see (video point 15:57), the winding gear #49 is glued to a little wooden axle (9.5 mm dia.) previously tappered to receive that #5 Allen screw, which with a metal washer holds both gear and axle in place. I used no bearing, the friction is not an affair here, so soon in the movement chain.

Thank you so much, Clayton.

Are you refering to half or full hours.? Or each second tick? This one rings the bell hourly

Antonio Gimeno Thank you very much 🍀

The intermediate wheel acts upon the canon pinion, mounted on the center wheel arbor, and rotating almost freely over it. That pinion is glued to the strike detent (a cam). Shortly before reaching the "twelve o'clock" position, this cam begins to push the rocker detent up, wich in turn lifts the stop arm, with which the striking mechanism is released and starts to work. Anyway, you can always go to the clock plans (www.lisaboyer.com/claytonsite1) with clear information about the way that mechanism works. Regards.
