"Three"

A new mechanical clock is finished! This is the first time a new heartbeat has emerged from the shop since “Perth,” back in 2023. It’s also the first non-commissioned mechanical piece since 2019. The time required to create custom mechanical work is significant, so these clocks are very rare. While I love all the quartz projects I created over the last few years, I really missed making gears and hearing that ticking sound echo through the house. This piece is a variation of one of my favorites from 2019, titled “Th3.” Both the mechanical and visual layout are similar, but this one is bigger, and the design is more refined. This clock is fabricated 100% from scratch. Every gear tooth and screw thread was cut by hand in my shop. All of the more organic forms were sculpted by hand with precision rotary grinders. Here’s a link to some videos if you’re interested in the process: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfmngj2DKPbkmn0eMA0bwEAxKQeVRZc6N This piece is available for purchase on my website.
