A new project in the workshop. A lovely early 19th century singing bird box. These treasured balladeers are my favorite to work on.

Rough assembly of the mechanism to drive the hour and minute hands is done. Wiring cleanup next. The hands are driven independently by the master controller, which also provides control for the calendar rings.

We should have a clockmakers lunch/shop tour at her place, which is amazing. Is Perpetual in a public location? Would love to see it.

Pendulum control installation. Control design by Jason Iceman. Two Arduino based controls drive independent stepper motors. Escape wheels mounted on the motor shafts rotate to reset gravity arms which provide impulse to the pendulums.

Jason’s custom control system arrived today after being kicked around by USPS for 7 weeks 🤬…We’d given it up as lost so Jason had started another build……of course. Least we have spares.
