Thats incredible Brian, my hats off to you. Absolutely beautiful workmanship.
Is the concave drum with the cable grooves there to compensate for torque from the spring as it unwinds? Again incredible workmanship making that part.
In no way to dis your work, how well does it keep time, I recall reading some where this mechanism wasn't that reliable. The absolute cool factor of it more than compensates a few lost seconds.
Your inspiring Brian. Long long ago in a far away land I actually bought my mill with the intent of building a BIG wall clock. I moved and it never happened.
Can see why you got the new lathe, the other would have been more suited to wrist watch sized movements.
Once again INCREDIBLE

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
