Hi Dallen

the uneven color in the parts make them look even more hand made, the chemicals don't really cost that much to do Niter Bluing 9 parts KNO3 and 1 part Manganese Dioxide melted together and boil the parts at high heat for a few minutes is all it takes and its reuseable.
I'm sure you know that you could lay the parts on a heavier piece of iron and heat from the bottom to even the heat out.
Any hint as to when the writeup on this will be ready?????????

Oh if only I knew when, other things just seem to get in the way,
I hope to get it ticking this week end, but that's only half way to a complete clock!
Also the photo's masses of them, notes for the final write up, drawings ETC.
Any way here is another photo, of the finished Main arbor/winding assembly.
