WOODEN GEARED PENDULUM CLOCK (ROKR)

This is a full scale working model of a anchor escapement pendulum clock with two time faces having gears made totally from wood. It was a birthday gift kit from my lovely wife, and it took over nine months to arrive. The Covid-19 period was a great time to work on it together. We built it over three days. The longest it has run is about 15 minutes. The average run time is about 1.5 minutes. There is beeswax on the anchor escapement system only. The wood is plywood which has been laser-cut very well and precisely. It is about 35 cm tall. The 3D wood kit (LK501) is from ROKR and costs about $50.
