cutting parts for a all wooden clock
started to cut out a wooden clock form african mahogany lumber about 1/4 to 5/16 thick

Looking good. That CNC stuff is way over my head and budget, but it sure fascinates me. Great stuff.

clock
to be truthfull there is more more in the file prep than cutting the part,but then one could cut a bunch of clocks with ease

Looking good! Now that's one process I don't enjoy conversion from a solid model file to DXF. What attracted you to this clock design?

why this one
It was the only one i found on the net that i could take apart and work with ,would have preferred something
a bit simpler if there is such a thing.
I have built many grandfather clocks in the past but not the mechanism and i am still not there yet

Woodman 12, I made one similar to the one you are making about 8 or 9 years ago. I set up indexing on the lathe and made a slide to take a router. The teeth were cut with home made router bits ground from broken 1/4 inch drill bits. ( see attachment)
After that clock I designed my own works, which runs for about 3 days. It is still ticking away in the entry hall after 8 years , no sign of wear, pallets , timing wheel teeth , arbors and bushes were all made from Lignum Vitae.
It was called the naked clock as everything exposed for every one to see. Since then it has be put in a grand father case. regards John.

That is a very nice looking clock you have there, John (Ninefingers). I notice that it has two weights but only one winding arbor. Does it strike or do both weights drive the time train? Dead beat escapement would keep pretty good time, I imagine! I like the way that you have substituted the 12 dot with a seconds subsidiary dial. It goes together very well.
I am impressed with your tooth cutting set up on the router slide although the picture is a bit small to study it closely.
Cheers
