I like all the information you provided for how to make a Wooden Gear Clock Thanks to it, now i can make my own clock. Watch and clockmakers have always blown me away at how patient you must be. Judith Nazarewicz from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada on November 12, 2012: My father made such a clock when I was a kid.

Add the hands and any other decorative elements.Ī wooden clock would be a woodworking masterpiece.

Generally, you will make the drive weight using wood and lead shot. Again, the specifications here will depend on what your instructions say to do.

The pendulum and drive weight, along with the escape mechanism, are what actually make your clock keep time.

All it takes is a bit of sanding where the joint fits and you should be back in business. That may be because of the stain and the sealer.

You may find that some of your parts do not fit very well together.

You should be able to make the wheels move freely just by blowing on them.

Insert each wheel set (the gear wheel, pinion, arbor, and possibly a spacer) and the escapement mechanism into the frame, first one at a time and then two at a time, to make sure they run freely and with each other.

The frame will have holes to house the wheel sets' arbors. Every frame will be different, and some are more ornate than others.

Build the frame using your plan's instructions.

How you assemble your clock will, for the most part, depend on what type of clock you're building and from what plan. Use wood glue and clamps to affix the pinion and spacers to the wheels around the arbors.

Following your clock plan's instructions, assemble the wheels, pinions, and spacers using the arbors.

This will reduce the amount of friction they cause.

Use a polisher and sander to clean and polish the rods.

Use this to determine the size of the rods.

Most wooden clockmaking kits will come with a sheet of paper laying out the arbors and pivots.

Step 4: Assemble Your Gear WheelsĪs discussed above, the gear wheels are made up of the wheel itself, a pinion, and an axel or arbor. This will give the moving gears some added visual interest, and contrast the different parts of the clock from each other. Think about staining the gears different colors. Avoid staining or varnishing the insides of the teeth, which could mess up your gear train. What you want is a nice uniform color all over the wood. If you don't apply it evenly or wipe it off when the directions say to, you may get blotches and streaks. Make sure you follow the directions for your wood stain. The pivot is a tube of polished metal at the end of the arbor which reduces friction with the plate.

The pinion is a small wheel held to the main wheel by the arbor, which is driven by the other gears. The wheel is the toothed circle that turns, hooking the other wheels with its teeth. Gear: Clock gears are actually made of four parts: the wheel, the arbor, the pinion, and the pivot.The different gears are explained in detail below. Gear train: When mounted on the frame, the gears for the second, minute, and hour hands interlock and roll on each other.The escapement is what makes the tick-tock sound. As the pendulum swings, it moves the escapement lever in and out of the escape gear, stopping it from spinning. The escapement is built out of an escape gear, escape lever, and the pendulum. Escapement : A device that controls the energy that escapes from the movement of the weight, slowing it down and allowing the energy to be spaced out over time.Power source: What keeps the clock going? In the case of most homemade clocks, the momentum is created by a swinging weight, or pendulum, which moves the gears as it swings back and forth.

Here is a very basic list of the different parts of a wooden clock:
