Well this has been sitting idle for a while. I'm trying to work up the motivation to get back into it, but time has been a bit of a precious resource lately. I did have something interesting arrive today. We had the grandparents up a fortnight ago for the young fellas rugby rep trials and my Dad and I were talking about this project.

I mentioned I was on the lookout for old broken clocks to steal gears and brass doodads out of. Turns out he had the old mechanism from his fathers clock from the turn of last century. The clock has a modern movement in it now and this was just sitting around in his shed. So I think I'm right for gears etc now. Interestingly when I took it out of the box it started running for a minute or so, which was pretty cool.
