This video was a conference call between the Buchanan and myself moderated by the videographer, Anthony Drabsch in April 2022 and allows one for the first time to see many details previously not seen in earlier videos.

The conversation is a good synopsis of the entire relationship as it relates to the creation of this project. Sorry for the late release, I just found this a month ago within the voluminous digital files related to the project. I hope one day to have a published version of the website with videos on a DVD.

One can also see the video on the website here: my-time-machines.net/astro_03_04-22.htm. The month-by-month construction index since its beginnings in 2003 here: my-time-machines.net/astro_index.htm. Published articles here: my-time-machines.net/papers_and_presentations.htm. An overview of beautiful clocks here: my-time-machines.net/index.htm.

It's been an adventure, but more more so, an incredible commitment between Buchanan and me to keep such a large, complex, long-term project going through to completion in spite of the fact the two of us being as far away from each other as one can get on the planet (Midwest USA and Australia).

I have been blessed to be able to have had created my dream to become reality without compromise. Not many can say this.
