Building a wooden clock is not rocket science! Apart from a few tools and moderate skills the most important ingredient is patience.

It does take time, but then you do have a beautiful handmade clock that will run for years

The instructions take you step by step to a finished clock, and if you have any problems I am no more than an e-mail away.

The starting point is the plans. They contain all the information needed to make the clock. You further need all materials ( a list is included with the plans), a scroll/band saw and a drill press, and if you have a disc/belt sander all the better, plus standard woodworking tools, chisel, drills, sandpaper etc.

If you have a CNC router then the DXF plans, CAD skills assumed.

The hardest part of making a wooden clock is cutting the cogs, if you do not have a scroll/band saw or do not trust your skills you should also order the cogs package.

You can also just start with the plans and if you find you have difficulties you can  order the cogs separately at a later stage.

All the clocks on offer here are reliable, accurate timepieces, which will give you satisfaction over many years. Wood is an ideal material for clocks as it is hardwearing and requires no lubricant as with a metal clock.

One of the major factors that effect the accuracy of a wooden clock are changes in humidity, causing the pendulum to lengthen or shorten. But even with extreme humidity changes it should not make more than a minute or two difference a day.

Normally a well adjusted clock with a fairly constant climate will be accurate to within  a minute over the space of a week.

As I am fond in saying, my clocks are absolutely accurate, the climate however not!

I have taken especial care with the plans and instructions to make them both lucid and informative.
