Putting Plating into Practice

« on: March 21, 2012, 12:31:56 PM »

I thought I show my latest piece of work that features all the gear designs coming from Gearotic Motion and the plating as well. I didn't "sharpen" the corners in the tabs of the plates but rather rounded the corners to fit as that was a lot quicker and easier for me.

The escapemen t is a pin wheel type and I like it for its simplicit y and ease of adjustmen t. The pendulum is unweighte d wood with a maple leaf carved on the visible side.

I haven't decided whether to house it in a case or leave it "skeleton" as I really like the look of it just as is.

John:

Very cool. ( and very helpfull, I hadnt actually used the tabs myself yet. It seems me and you tend
to race to implement something as I release it. You win on this one.. lol

Great Work!!
