I have a book to make the paper clock I buy from a second hand store. It does not look very inspiring but I pay $1 for it... It would help if it looked more like a clock

Try this website: http://guru2.karakasa.com/ The owner "atom red" has a paper clock as well as those nifty Bosch monster critters and some other cool stuff.

Although I have not yet built it I have downloaded the files and I think it is the most promising of the paper clock kits I have seen.

I have built the James Rudolph paper clock many years ago, and it did work. It would run till the weight hit the floor, about 12 hours, but was not possible to regulate accurately. I found mine used on Abe books but at $1 you got a better deal!

I also have the Peace Tower clock designed by Andre Landry, published by Edition TicTac I think it is the same clock as the Wribbet version though. Beautiful, artistic and very frightening. I may build it one day, but probably the glue2 version first.

Thomas,

Next time you post an URL in your post, do not use the <> brackets, the forum software can parse the url into a clickable link.

It is always good etiquette to provide a link one can click on

Oh, Thanks, Rick. I didn't know that. Sorry, and I won't use the <> any more.

I built the Recoil Anchor Escapement from Glue² chronicle as referenced above. It worked pretty good as long as you had it plumb and level. The ratcheting mechanism used to "wind" it is what really is impressive. I purchased the paper clock model and have it printed, but have not started it. It has been sitting around in the ever growing pile of printed/pre-printed model that will get done once I get a roundtuit. :D

SCEtoAUX;
Yeah, I never seem to have enough of those roundtuits myself! Doesn't seem to affect my paper consumption though...

cmags-

A better version of the Equatorial Sundial you suggested can be found here:
The Toy Shop – 20 Marvelous Mechanical Models that Really Work! Paper Modeling With The Toy Shop

The download link is about a quarter of the way down.

(The link you provided is simply has scans from tiny thumbnails in the book. The link above has digital copies of all the model part files in the software. I could be biased, tho... )

gjehrenstein-

Hi, I tried to PM you but it wouldn't let me, hopefully you will see this.

I just found the manual for the Medieval clock if you still want it; it's about 85 pages. I could mail you a photocopy or email you a scanned copy. It wouldn't cost anything for me to scan it, but it would take longer. No hurries, let me know if you still want it!

-Michael
