Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

Update: The clock is running very well and keeps good time "IF" you keep it wound up....this is quite a chore, and might be suitable for someone with a desk job that wanted the nice tick-tock sound and did not mind winding at Every coffee break.

  It was still enough fun, I have my eye on a new offering from Ugears, called the Aero clock, it is More than 3X as complicated as my clock and by the reviews only a very select few have been able to get it running so far.
  As it is new the price is hover around $80 and as it is more in wooden puzzle Class than a proper clock kit, I will likely wait until after Christmas for the discount price.
  The theme of the clock is "Aero" or more precisely hot air balloons, there is an extra "complication" (RH side) where a wooden hot air model balloon slowly rise for every Hour and at the top of the hour quickly descends.
 
I would love to see how this kit responds to my super glue "harden" teeth and pencil graphite treatments.... Only time will tell if I can hold out for the better price!

This one IS weight driven.
