5.0 out of 5 stars
EXCELLENT CLOCK MAKING BOOK!,
By Ian J. Renwick (Chicago, Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Clock Design and Construction including Dial Making (Hardcover)
I've had this book for a few years now and bought if before I discovered Amazon.com. I heard such excellent reviews about it that I contacted the author in England and requested a book from him directly. I'm very glad I did. This book covers every aspect of clock design and construction. The title is perfect. If you have always wanted to build your own clock (we're talking gears, plates, pinion, the whole works), then this is the book for you! I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It covers so much information that it is my #1 reference when I have a clock works question. I have read it dozens of times and always seem to pick up something new. If you are serious about building a clock, then you know that clock making books are rare. This one is excellent. 5 stars isn't enough. Plenty of detailed drawings make the explanations perfectly clear. Don't be thrown off by it's size.... though the book is thin (144 pages) it is full of very usefull information.
