Wooden Clock
This is my first attempt at making a wooden clock. This clock is known as a Toucan Clock because of the drive levers at the top that look like a toucan’s beak. The clock is driven by an electromagnet in the base that swings the pendulum which then drives the toucan beak back and forth. This action then drives the various gears turning the hands. My first model was made from birch plywood with walnut accents. In front are four of the gears that I have made for my next clock. They are made from a combination of oak, walnut, cherry, maple, and poplar.
