Thanks! It was a Clayton Boyer design. The plans specified which pieces could be solid wood and which should be plywood… if I remember, there were only a few plywood parts. It was a gift, so not sure about cracking but probably would have heard back about it if so.

Thanks, thought maybe it was a Boyer design.
Makes sense that some of it was plywood. The big gear on my Magica would have been mighty fragile out of solid would.
Thx for the reply,

So many interesting clocks! Great work!
Your clock came out amazing, can I ask what you mean when you say lots of tool path work and data base polishing. I am currently working with plans that are in DXF format but were drawn with cad software that wasn’t precise at joining arc’s and line segments.
@Rleslie A bit of water under the bridge since I made that clock! But, I believe that statement meant the work in creating tool paths and tool database work for VCarve.
The files I received from the designer were excellent. I don’t remember there being any open vectors, etc.
Thank you that was the information I was looking for. I have given up on trying to correct the current files I have.
