Hello Eurobrickfans.

This is my first Forum post, so please forgive any netiquette errors.

I am attempting to build a functional clock in LEGO. Progress is posted on my blog at www.wis.co.uk/lego (among other things I'm building). Here is a short Youtube of current progress:

Thanks

That is awesome. Good luck with the rest of it. This makes me want to try to make a clock.

pinceogonville-- what a video. reminds me o f when every Dick and Dan had a watch. Thanks for the memories

Great start. I will follow your attemps.

Took me a year to complete my LEGO clock, perhaps it can give you inspiration:

Never thought this would be possible, but I guess there aren't any limits to what you can build with lego!

I like the style of your clock, and the fact that it automatically winds itself up. The self-adjusting pendulum is genius.

*12* boat weights. Ok. I have two at the moment.

What was the reason you chose non-LEGO string?

It probably wasn't strong enough to hold 12 weights.

Main reason was to have room to wind many turns of the string on the narrow wheel. The string I use is a thin Kevlar fishing line, very slim, strong and durable for static force compared to a normal nylon fishing line.

It probably wasn't strong enough to hold 12 weights.

Has anyone tested the tensile strength of LEGO String? Crane builders especially.

Oh no LEGO string from the 42009 is very strong, it can handle a few KG.

Hi again. Thanks for your encouragement from my previous clock. Lovely to see others have made clocks before me too. So much inspiration. Anyway, here's an update on my blog: http://www.wis.co.uk/lego/?p=138.
