Clockmaking weekend...

  I have tried to clear my schedule for this weekend.  I am going to make the serious effort to do the crown wheel this weekend and get the clock ticking.  At this moment, I don't have any commitments either personally or professionally so I am really hopeing to get a solid 2 days of blacksmithing in.

  The key right now for me to work on the clock is simply time at the forge.  I truly feel that I have all of the skills (although I am sure I will make plenty more mistakes.)  I've also noticed that over the past 6 months in particular that when I do work at the forge, I have a lot more confidence and that I am working much faster.

  I may try to get some evening work in as well this week.  With summer coming on, there are a few hours after I get home that I can work.
