CLOCK PROJECT/ tempus fidgit
The clock design is from Clayton Boyer. Model Solaris. Designs are very affordable. Make sure you rework the dxf files to make sure they are round! Woods are Bubinga, Hard Maple, redwood burl, lacewood. I confess to being a "star" nut so any show about space etc...When I found the Stargate series, I watched it thru twice and so was inspired by my folly to make the 3d ring/face from the show...The weights are representative of the evil pyramid ships flying about and the symbols are all those from those bad little "gods" and their slaves....
My hat is off to all those who make these clocks by hand with just a fret saw and band saw....Even with my CNC it still took months of work to make...When, and I do say "when" it decides to run it does keep time but it IS a wooden clock and can be finicky which is why its name is Tempus Fidgit
