In order to get this clock moving again, I am going to try and make sure I put in at least a few hours each weekend. For this weekend, it wasn't so much clock work as it was some work on the bellow. I spent a few hours building a set of bellows. At this point, the portable frame for the bellows is almost done and I will be starting on the paddles for the bellows soon.
Hopefully I can get this thing out of the stall its been in for the past two years and get it moving.
A chronicle of my attempts to create an early clock using only traditional techniques.

I do look forward to seeing progress on the clock again, I sincerely hope all of you life issues have settled out.
(and here I am, deployed again, like when I first found out about the clock - in 2005. Has it been almost four years already? Wow.)
Yeah, 4 years.... sigh... It is an albatross around my neck... :) Thanks. I think life is definitely settled now. I am in a much better job, much less stress, much better pay. The only thing keeping me from really getting going is that I have a lot of projects around the house that I've let build up but I will be getting back to things soon.
That sounds familiar- I have a certain custom flintlock project in the same state. I'm always gone, and when I'm back, life gets in the way. (At least that's what I tell myself).
