Cool, thanks. I've been thinking of picking up one of these wooden clock kits. If I enjoy that, this would be a great next step. Not so complicated but looks pretty cool and I have been wanting a clock.

My passion for watches is a tad frustrating because I am generally really good with mechanical stuff, like bicycles and old cars, but I'm so terrible with small objects. I don't know what it is but I get frustrated to the point where I want to start smashing things very quickly. Watchmaking is simply not for me... but, clocks with gears I can hold in my fingers sounds plausible.

My wife bought me the same kit for Christmas from Amazon. I haven't started on it yet, but I might this weekend. Everything is laser-cut, but as the previous person said, you'll have to sand the pieces to get them smooth.

You can also get a nice little toy clock with plastic gears and a see-though case. It doesn't take long to put together, but it's still pretty cool. Not terribly accurate, but I didn't expect that for the price. That was Christmas two years ago. I asked for it mostly to show to my grandchildren.

One of the related items is a plastic da Vinci "clock". It doesn't really tell time, as it only runs for a minute or two, but the mechanism is pretty cool. That was Christmas for me last year. ☺ I bought some lead fishing weights to replace the one that came with it. It's supposed to use coins for the weight, I suppose, but the little container kept getting caught up in the works. The 2g teardrop-shaped weight I bought works better.
