Very good weekend

This weekend was productive. I was able to remake the Crown Wheel arbor (axle). I am typing this on my phone so I will write more with photos when I get a chance.

Working some over the Holiday

I've worked off and on over the past few days and I've made some good progress.  Chiefly I remade the verge and foliot.  I am going to try re-making the Crown wheel and its arbor hopefully tomorrow.  Pictures and possibly videos to follow.

Hopefully some real progress coming soon.

  So I am ending my current job to go on to a better job.  My current job ends tomorrow but my new job doesn't start up until a week from Monday.  Also, no plans for Thanksgiving (not that big of a holiday to me) so wife and I are going to stay home.  What that means is that I hope to have a week to work on the clock.  My goal, and its going to push me, is to have the clock actually ticking.  It is a lot of work but doable.  If I can get the clock ticking, then it will be incredible motivation to push forward.

Tool day...

  Was going to work on the verge and foliot assembly yesterday but after a small mistake, I decided I needed to take a step back and make some tools.  So today, made a trip out to pick up some tool steel.  Made several punches and a bending fork.  Not exciting but it was related to working on the clock.
