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.
