ホームマシニストのための金属時計製作

I've never touched a lathe before, but the way this book walks through clock terminology and basic construction really eased me in. The section on general clock forms gave me a clear mental picture before I ever cut a gear.

The clear explanations of clock terminology made it easy to follow along, and the revised sections feel much more current than older hobbyist guides. After reading through, I feel confident enough to try my first build.

The glossary of horology terms alone was worth the price, saving me hours of confused internet searches. I’ve already built a simple frame based on the construction forms, and it actually keeps decent time.
