All the gears & pinions for the new moon-train are cut. This particular gear train is a first for me. My previous moon-phase gear-trains were more traditional, but I wanted to come up with something more accurate.
While this meant cutting more gears, with some really weird tooth-counts, it’s still just a straight forward gear-train. So I figure why the hell not. Doing an extra week or so of work so that I can highlight the completely unnecessary accuracy of the moon-phase dial seems like a worthwhile endeavor to me ;)
Now it’s time to make test-plates and bridges to see if everything works. If the math is correct, and I can find a way to make these gears neatly fit behind within the spacial parameters, I'll be a very happy clockmaker next week.
More soon!
