4.0 out of 5 stars At last! Finally!
I am so happy to finally find a book that actually shows how clocks of the past were constructed. So many dollars have I wasted on misleading titles for clocks, that end up showing mostly modern kitsch cat clocks or the like with ugly quartz movements used. And worst poorly construction plans.

I am so happy to finally find a book that actually shows how clocks of the past were constructed. So many dollars have I wasted on misleading titles for clocks, that end up showing mostly modern kitsch cat clocks or the like with ugly quartz movements used. And worst poorly construction plans.

A good woodworker can use the plans here to design his own antique styled clocks as well.

Now I only wish that there was a follow-up book with more designs.
