As I'm finishing up my current clock project, I'm already thinking of the next. For my next clock I would like to install a mechanical wind-up clock work, you know, the kind that you see in old shelf clocks like my Dad has. He says he has to wind it once a week.

Anyone have a good site for finding this type of clock work?

I'd check at Bell Strike Skeleton Movement with Rear Swing Pendulum and see if that fits the bill. If not, they have a forum and you might find assistance there? Klockit.com has been in my list of sites for some time but I've yet to use them for anything. LOL Hope it helps you though.
