Review on Timeless Elegance: Abong David Wooden Gear Clock - A Must-Have for Classic Décor by Abaraham Duvernot

I wish I could redo it with another glue

Watch well designed and very few plywood chips. My problem is with the adhesives that the manufacturer uses. Against my better judgment and against the advice of a friend who works a lot with wood, I used quality glue of the types listed in the instructions. The wood glue deformed the gears as my friend said and the super glue cured too quickly to ensure all the gears were properly seated on their axles prior to installation. My watch is damaged because before I could be sure it was straight, the winding set and got stuck on the carbon fiber shaft. There is currently no way to fix this. If I had had a different kit I would have taken the good advice of my experienced friends and used a small amount of slow cure epoxy on all parts. By the way, I'm very good at mechanics and follow instructions. carefully for safety in my professional life. Not because I deviated from the instructions.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Not automatic
