Clayton Boyer has made dozens of wooden clock plans. They're pretty cool. I toy with the idea of something like that sometimes but the problem is? I hate woodworking. I hate bandsaws. You could probably get it working no problem. The great thing about timekeepers is the wheels (gears) are ratio-based. Doesn't matter how the teeth are cut; if one of them has 60 and the other has 30, you will have a 2:1 speed reduction. You could probably stuff the teeth with candle wax, rotate it a bit, and see where the high spots are and file them without taking the thing apart. This guy is an instagram friend of mine. Florian Schlumpf is not but I still dig his shit. I've been told, however, that this stuff is pure womanbane. Most clocks are.
