Voice from the past...
So, about 2 years ago I had an exchange of emails with a gentleman at the British Museum. He provided me with a rich source of documentation for the clock. At the time, I did not even have a forge. Well, with starting the clock I decided to try and get in contact with him again.
I just received his reply today. He is very interested in helping me further with the project. He is a very accomplished horologist and is head of a large portion of the collection at the museum(specifically, late medieval). I think he is interested in hearing how my reproduction is going. In his article, he made some suggestions on how the clocks were made. I have offered some possible alternatives that I think he is very interested in hearing more.
So, this has a bit more incentive (and pressure) to do the clock. I want to do this project right. The greatest limitation I have at this point is my lack of advanced blacksmithing experience.
A chronicle of my attempts to create an early clock using only traditional techniques.
