This video montage shows various sections of the Astro-skeleton clock as of July 2019. The machine is now mechanically complete. There are still a host of bugs and adjustments to be made. Then the machine must be completely disassembled, polished, frames lacquered, various screws blued, all of the roller bearings in the main trains replaced with full ceramic bearings to make the machine a dry-runner. Then case work.
As one can see, for pure showmanship, this creation is tough to beat. We believe for its size, it is the most complex skeleton clock ever created. The entire project can be seen from its inception here: my-time-machines.net/astro_index.htm. The page this video was from is: my-time-machines.net/astro_07-19a.htm.
