Just finished a repair on this wall clock. Seems it fell off the wall after a cleaner passed by! Never mind. Since this clock is an early build, about 2008, it did not have all the updates of later builds. So, I made several changes that improve how it works and makes it less likely to stall during the day. Very happy that it was an easy fix and looking forward to returning it back to it's owner.

The current project to be named: M-16 Grasshopper 2

I'm thinking about the next clock build and I'm certain I will employ another John Harrison styled escapement. Similar to the M14 Grasshopper escapement, this next iteration will be a twin pivot BUT, connected to a single pendulum via a single lever (see the pic below). I haven't chosen woods yet but, do expect that I'll use up some the figured Big Leaf Maple that I have left over from the M14 build. I'll be adding posts as the build progresses. Don't expect to start until after the New Year.
