Working on clock again

 After a very long hiatus, I am finally back to working on the clock.  I've actually had several sessions just not posted here about it.  With trying to get back to the clock, I wanted to make sure I had some good momentum before I put anything here.

What I worked on yesterday and today is the armature that holds the verge and foliot.  I completed this about 2 years ago now but with going back to the clock, I am looking at what need to make better and it is an ideal candidate.  Everything about this clock stems from this part.  If this part is not correct, everything else fails.

I did not take a picture of what I'm working on tonight, but this is the part I made two years ago.



It is the part the is on top of the clock that the string is hanging off of.  So what's wrong with it?  It leans slightly to one side, the rivet on the bottom portion of it is off center (not very clean) and the long upright piece is a bit loose.  In all honesty, it could work.  However, I've discovered in the past on other projects and this project as well that the mistakes don't just add up, they multiply.  The more incorrect one piece is, the less margin for error on the next piece.  I don't want to get way to far along and discover that it won't work or that I spend hours and hours to get it to barely work.

So, I am starting over on the going train (time keeping side of the clock.).  Although this means a lot more hours, each time I do these parts it goes faster and faster so I'm not too worried.

Here's hoping I can keep it moving.
