< 2024-04-11 2024-04-13 >Since I've discovered that making a watch movement is too difficult: what if I started with a large-ish working pocket watch movement, took off the minute hand etc., and rigged it up so that rotating the bezel clockwise winds up the spring and rotating it anti-clockwise moves the whole mechanism?
That would be an easier place to start.
Taking the pocket watch movement as an example, I would need to probably put an idler against the barrel so that the idler is the largest-radius part, and then have the idler engage with some teeth on the inside of the bezel so that turning the bezel winds the watch, and also fit a ratchet somewhere on the mainplate so that it is free to turn inside the case in one direction.
But obviously I'd want to use a movement that works.
More training on jes-to-Feynman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDTYNs1_DoI
And it's further in the same direction as before: the space between jes and Feynman is basically tending towards just black.
I definitely need to be putting more images in at different z coordinates.
