Obsessive, highly precise, slightly more than mildly eccentric… if that describes your woodworking personality then you might just appreciate these free all-wooden clock plans, along with the lists of pay plans below! Good luck, woodworker. Here’s his Simplicity, his, er, simplest offering:Īlso check out Clayton Boyer’s Wooden Gear Clocks on YouTube He won’t sell plans from his “Masochist’s Corner” unless you’ve built one of his simpler clocks first… and sent him photographic PROOF that you completed it. However, I have come to the conclusion that I should not stand in the way of a woodworker’s desire for additional frustration in his/her life when they obviously want it so badly.” One well-known seller of wooden clock plans, Clayton Boyer, pitches his most-difficult plans like this: “ Selling plans for the clocks on this page goes against my basic philosophy of trying to spread joy in the world through creative woodworking. I think wooden clocks are one of those dividing lines in woodworking... To have the aspiration to make a clock, entirely from wood, puts you in your own unique category. See Wooden Gear Clocks by Keith Chambers > MI-1000 mount uses a 20.1-inch diameter RA drive and a 15.1-inch declination drive.Ever since I had the pleasure of seeing Keith Chamber’s wooden gear clocks in person, I’ve been on the look out for more all wood clocks.MI-750 mount uses a 15.1-inch diameter RA drive and a 12.1-inch declination drive.MI-500 mount uses a 12.1-inch diameter RA drive and a 10.1-inch declination drive.The drive gear diameters of our mounts are the following: A 10 inch diameter gear with a 30 DP would have 300 teeth. The diametrical pitch is number of teeth on a gear for each inch of gear diameter. We currently manufacture 30 diametrical pitch (30 DP) gears. However, unless you have special requirements, we normally recommend using an aluminum worm gear on the declination axis. The bronze worm gear option is also available for the declination axes. These materials are superior to the more common aluminum worm gears one finds on most smaller commercial mounts As an option, we offer a bronze worm gear with a stainless steel worm for the RA axis. Since the right ascension drive tracks continuously, there is generally more wear on this axis.
The MI-500F, MI-750F, and MI-1000F equatorial fork mounts use the same drive assembies as the German mounts. The worm assembly and servo motors are inside a protective casing, so that no motors or brackets protrude from the mount. When centering a star in the eyepiece, near zero backlash makes the telescope very responsive with little delay when changing direction. This spring loaded worm assembly pushes the worm against the worm gear, which minimize backlash in the gear train. The RA and declination axes feature a precision worm housing with sealed class 7 ball bearings. The tracking accuracy of our drives is typically 5 arc-seconds peak to peak error.
Each worm is machined as a single unit to achieve accuracy of ±.0001 inches in residual run-out and thread lead error. We use class A and AA hobs, which produce gears with a precise tooth form and accurate dimensions. Using special cutters known as hobs, the teeth are cut as the gear blank rotates. Gears are machined on special equipment designed to cut an involute tooth profile on a gear blank of specific diameter.
