Making a clock

[geno whirl]

I'd like to get into building a pendulum clock, but I'm not very knowledgeable in the field. I'm the kind of guy that can really grasp stuff if i disassemble/reassemble stuff, so do any of you guys know of any good sites where I could order a kit that has all of the necessary components to build a working pendulum clock?

Well, just to get you a little wet. (Along with EVERYONE ELSE HERE WHO EVEN PRETENDS TO BE AN ENGINEER)

Also, while I've seen TONS of clock kits, most use ready-made mechanical movements, being that those are the difficult part.
But I'm sure ones for assembling the actual clock mechanisms exist.

Or you could be an engi and draw up your own plans and MAKE ONE.

*Head explodes*

We think its awesome that we have machines that can make those tiny parts, but bad when, someone had to make them. Each. And. Every. One.

In no way do i think or pretend I'm an engineer. I don't know if that was directed towards me though. Thanks for the video though. really cool

I CAME EVERYWHERE.

Reason #1 for me to become a great engineer: so I can afford all the things that inspired me to become a great engineer.
