Making Wooden Gear Clocks: 6 Cool Contraptions That Really Keep Time (Fox Chapel Publishing) Step-by-Step Projects for Handmade Clocks, from Beginner to Advanced; Includes Full-Size Pattern Pack

This book is concentrated goodness! It has several plans for clocks and a folder in the back has plans for making these. It is a superb introduction to the subject. The quality of printing and illustration is very high. Excellent value for the price. Beware, you may feel coerced into buying a scroll saw and pedestal drill before reaching the end!

I liked this book a lot, It does confirm my thought that it's going to coast me quite a considerable sum to purchase all the tools I would need to make these gears to a standard I would like them. The list started growing once I started reading. The book is a great book with the patterns in an envelope on the back page. On the plus side, with a minimal outlay you can see what's needed before you start out!

I would have given this 5 stars but the one that let me down was that it was quite difficult to photocopy the plans, these are drawn in something like A1 or A2 size but the largest scanner/copier I could find was an A3 size so it took 4 sheets of A3 stuck together with sellotape to create the actual plan I was trying to copy. Other than that great book, I am starting with the Genesis design first then I will move onto the other designs.

This really is an excellent little book. It is beautifully illustrated. Each design has a comprehensive list of components and suggested sources (admittedly in USA). The step-by-step instructions are detailed and clear. The designs are progressively more demanding. As an introduction to mechanical clockmaking and design in general this book is just about perfect.

Wonderful designs and highly informative. One word of caution, it is not really for the novice scroll saw user. The designs require a large degree of accuracy so a degree of familiarity with using the saw is needed.

The book was an interesting and informative book on clock principals and also the making of items in wood. It would have been better if there was not 15 pages missing from the download. These appeared as blank pages so I don't know what I missed.

The right item at the right price and delivered quickly. I am still in the throws of studying the content more closely, but am sure it will deliver what I wanted. My only worry is the metal components required for sum items, I was not expecting to have to acquire or turn brass bushes. This will be a new challenge.

Wooden gear clock making book this is very usefull for any body wishing to make clocks
