William Smith Gearless Gravity Arm Clock

Read how I undertook my first clock construction when I built William Smith’s Gearless Gravity Arm clock design.

Devon Sea Clock Experiences and Modifications

I picked this Devon Sea Clock in a non working condition but nice and clean and well made. After some external support it is finally ticking away nicely but not consistently. Timing is still not quite right but I have the Microset on it to see what is happening. There is definitely a wobble on the escape wheel that needs fixing.
