Synopsis

HANS is a wooden gear clock that was designed from the ground up to help you successfully build your first gear clock. Many wooden gear clocks utilize weights to power the gear clock. These weights mean you have to wind the clock every couple days. The HANS electric gear clock utilizes an easy to obtain synchronous motor to drive the clock. This motor attached to the first gear, will keep the clock accurate to within a second or two each month. Gear Cutting Techniques: The gears used in the HANS clock can be made by tracing and cutting with a saw, or by using a set of templates and a router table. Plate Design: The plates were designed so that only the arbor hole locations are critical. You are free to alter the plate shape as you see fit. The Book: This book consists of 136 pages grouped into 11 chapters. The book will take you step by step through the process of building a real working gear clock.
