Another Skeleton Foliot BUCO

[Scottie-TX]

Gonna hafta work on yer sentence structure Pee-Tah:
"Work", here is not a noun such as, I've got "work" to do.
This, "work" is a verb - an operative - a nice thing - such as performing procedures, etc. SHEESH!
Gotta go and operate on my RESCH!

No Scottie, I haven't come across that set up, but it sounds like a nice way to hold the thread.

Yep, work can be a noun or a verb depending on how it’s used. But, it will all ways be a four lettered word to me

Need only now to make hour hand and soon will.
Wag arm weights finished. Wanting them to be unique, I made them of square brass stock, antiqued chemically. Then drilled and tapped 4/40 for two thumbscrews I found in partz box. Slotted wag arm and now has weights and attachment unlike any on market.

Here, the structural change at bottom, elimination of lower pillar, and dial mount. I cut off the back plate where I removed the pillar. That left a scar on the wood that I covered with a very old, wood ornament. The lowest pillar was replaced with a dowel to mount the new dial further down because this dial, 8", is much larger and literally surrounds the clock like a halo. Again, the dial is a larger embroidery hoop. Now the dial has a three point mount, notched to top plate pillars and secured at bottom post! Remaining only now is it's hour hand.

Nice work Scottie, very nice! I can't wait to see a picture of the completed clock.

Gonna call this one done. Very pleased with it - like it better than the first. Hour hand was made from WENGEWOOD - a nearly black wood with bold striated grain. Not good for precision work as it chips easily, but I like it for this hand:

I really like the halo effect of the oversize dial. Hung and tested for th' first time, has met if not exceeded expectations. ( kicks hiney ) So here, it's unveiling: BUCO, Halo Edition - Behold!

Kool Scottie, very kool! Yes, the oversize dial works well and makes you focus on the expose wheel work. Very nice indeed!
