Brian Law’s Woodenclocks-Clock 18 Clock with Non-Circular Gears

This clock started really as a challenge to see if I could design a couple of elliptical gears to mesh together, that worked out pretty well, so I started to look at meshing gears of different sizes. Well that wasn’t so easy, took a while to sort that out, but it led of course to see if I could design the gears to give the reductions necessary to form a clock, that took a lot longer but got there in the end so this clock was born. Hardest project I have undertaken to date, but it was worth it.
