I stumbled across this guy on YouTube and ended up watching all of the videos in the 'Making a large wheel skeleton clock' playlist in one sitting.

Horology is great - to a large extent it invented precision engineering.

Well worth watching. The quality of his work is amazing. Just his polishing and Bluing is enough to set an engineers Brian working.

Really enjoyed that, watched it all this evening whilst missus watched rubbish on TV! I particularly liked the way the chapter ring was made, I had no idea it was called that or the processes used - wonderful stuff. Thanks for the link.
