Wooden Gear Clock - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

johnandyen · 07-14-2007, 08:55 AM

I have just started subscribing to "Scroll Saw", and am interested in trying to make the Wooden Gear Clock in issue 26.
My problem is that I live in New Zealand, and am wondering if any other readers live there, and can tell me where I can buy brass tube of 3/16" and 5/32" brass tube for the hands.
If I can get it locally, all well and good, but if not, can someone suggest where I could get some mailed to me.
Regards from John

John,
Welcome to the world of clock makers. If you have an R/C hobby shop locally you may be able to find the brass tubing there. If all else fails check with Marc Tovar (the clock designer). I think that will provide you with a kit that contains all of the tubing that you will need. His website is at www.wooden-clockworks.com/. Marc is really a nice gentleman and, I'm sure, would be glad to help.

Good luck on your endeavor.

I think it'd be cool to live in New Zealand, if only for a vacation. As it is, Indianapolis is where my scroll saw is, my log home is, and new member Mr. Soich is.

Welcome, SSoich and JohnandYen !
