New clock parts! Some people get excited for Christmas presents - I get excited for this. I’ve just returned from my water-jet vendor with pieces for two more clocks. Everything looks perfect, and I’m now looking forward to assembling and sculpting some new work.
As mentioned in an earlier post, I now have three projects in the works: A very elaborate moon phase clock, a horizontal time-only mechanical clock, and a horizontal quartz clock.
While I could work simultaneously on all three, the weight of my hours will first go toward the quartz piece. Then I’ll tackle the horizontal mechanical one, followed by the more involved task of completing the moon-clock.
What’s nice about having other projects in the works is if progress stops because I need to wait for a tool, or supplies, I have other clocks I can work on while I wait. It’s a good way to stay productive. The only challenge is staying organized, and keeping really good notes so I can pick up where I left off.
