Clockwork workshop

[heterodine.livejournal.com]

“Today” Agatha said as she pulled out boxes of springs, cogs, wheels and various gears “we are going to build the actual clock mechanism.” She pulled out two differently sized hands. “Don’t forget that you need these hands, as well as the mechanism to make them move. I have printed out for you a handout with images of how this one gentleman built his clock, step-by-step. You do not need to cut your own gears and wheels, but you do need to assemble them as pictured here.”

She took a breath and looked at her two students. “This may take you more then just today’s workshop. You are welcome to come in any day the shop is open to continue working on them.”

Re: Work on your clock

Archie spent most of the class period looking over the handout, with an array of clock parts spread out in front of him. He muttered to himself quite a bit, experimentally arranging and rearranging the cogs and wheels until they started to make some kind of sense. Even so, he had a feeling he'd be spending some time in the shop this week to do extra work.
