Thanks, I had an issue understanding some of it and Edward Ricci took the time to explain. Masterbrew offered to help as well. Masterbrew just completed his vanes and has a new video.

I appreciate the plans Art and I hope you do more along with the others here. It takes as long to do a 3D Cad model like this as it would to actually build it. Ha! If I don?t do a cad project every once in a while I start to get rusty plus I always enjoy it.

Best Regards,

Bill;

Outstanding  ...  Looks like the help you got made your work perfect... Great job...

Hey Bob,

Ha! - Yeah my help told me that until you have the parts in your hand it is hard to understand. That was a nice thing to tell me anyway.

Here?s a couple of neat wood working videos that some of you might enjoy. They both use hand tool construction which is off topic but one is an artistic clock escapement.

Hi Bill;

I understand what your saying, often by seeing you can quickly relate to what's going on, that is the part I like most about your video, well done.... I also love the rocking chair build, however I'd be a bit concerned with the wood working mojo between an axe and I and to anyone around me.. lol


Thanks for sharing..

Cheers
Bob

Thanks for the link Bill. Really enjoyed watching them!

Mistake  :-[

I found a silly mistake in my video. I show set screws holding the shaft on the right side for the Vane Mech parts. Obviously this shaft needs to rotate on the bearings shown so there would not be any set screws on this shaft. Sorry about that!

  I noticed it, but figured given the quality of the result, I wasnt about to throw stones.

Ha! Yeah, I figured that would be hard to miss if you had built it much less designed it. I made an annotation in the video.

Thanks,
BillJ

I made the vid to show the ticker and a few other items I have just completed.

  As you had stainless hanging about, I had bronze ( my weight is squares of bronze..).
Excellent work all round, I hope the auction goes well. Let us know the results. Never know,
maybe Donald Trump will show up...
