In a month we have a musical “Ciske de Rat” and the director wants a really big… clock, so I went ino Fusion and designed a clock that resembles the clock of Amsterdam Central station.
I made the program with help from chatgpt, it still cost me a couple of long evenings…. I wanted to be able to use NTP, manual time, Streaming acn and DMX, but for now ditched the latter two.
I have a 1.2 m clock built ~12 yrs ago… before i had a cnc and it has hardware store house numbers and the mechanism was and is still the most difficult thing to keep going.
Yours is a very cool clock. I’m very interested in the mechanism.
The angle between midline of the clock and the letters is intentionally, so i can take the clock apart easilly. Otherwise the letters would cross the seams when taken apart for transportation.
A littlebit further again. It doesn’t look like it, but the ornament in the middle is perfectly spaced in the middle of the clock. Hopefully it gets painted tomorrow. Just a week to go and it will be in the musical!
And a bit more work done. The roman numerals are not screwed down yet and the hands of the clock are not connected to the clockwork. I doubt whether the hands should get a golden tip
