Thanks for the update, tmuir. Did you use Locktite to hold the wires into the foliot weights?

Yes used locktite, love the stuff, although it is spring wire I used so there is also some tension on the wires in the holes to help hold it too.

Yeah, I like the stuff, too. I used it for the pins in my lanterns and to hold the lanterns themselves on the wheel shafts.

Just got home from my week away to find a pleasant surprise.
When I placed my order to EJ Winter some time ago he didn't have the BMS strips I needed to make the clock frame and he said he would get it in for me.
I've now got the missing material to make the clock frame so I can now get this under way. I really should of built this first but as I didn't have it I jumped backwards and forwards and made the parts I could.
If all goes well by next weekend I should have the frame finished.
