Looking forward to watching your progress on this Ben.
Happy to have you along for the ride Bruce!
Taking a short break from the "fussy" wheel building part, thought I would build the music box base. I tested the clock works musical part in my hand and it was Very soft sound, I knew that soundbox's have an amplifier effect from my mountain dulcimer building days...but quite surprised how MUCH louder it is inside the box!
This post is really to show the stock drive system, in the first photo you can see the feet and winder key underneath, then the drive pulley on the side of clock works, then the semi-clear drive band O-ring around the pulley. This will go straight up to a pulley on the big wheel axle. I thought this drive system was kind of clever, I hope to keep it in place, but have the option to slip the drive band off the clock works and over to an engine of choice.
Second photo is just the top of box with drive band coming thru the slotted hole. Wanted to share before the box gets closed in.
