The original Starter clock has worked well as an introduction to building wooden clocks, so I have decide to do a follow on design that is a bit more challenging, but still not requiring the use of a lathe or more complex parts in some of the other clocks found here. It is therefore a logical progression for the builder who has finished the Starter clock and wants to move on to something more demanding.
Whereas the original had no bearings for the shaft ends, this one has Miniature Ball bearings on the ends of each shaft and will run for a full 24 hours on a single wind. This time it has a key wind up arrangement but retains the same type of Graham escapement which is known to be the most suitable design for wooden clock construction.
To achieve the 24 hour run time it has the newer more efficient gearing featured in some of the latest clocks on the website.
