Bear Creek

The Bear Creek clock was “finished” and running beautifully - but only for about a month. It began stopping unexpectedly. It turns out that this huge stump continued to dry out, and the (cantilevered) arbors shifted enough to foul the gear mesh. I’m going to let it dry another month or so and fix it.

This clock, made of a piece of driftwood that appeared in my favorite creek, has a “paddlewheel” grasshopper escape, and a “remote” one-second compound pendulum.
