Wooden.City Steampunk Mechanical Clock 3D Wooden Clock Puzzle is a steampunk wall display in birch plywood with moving gears, two dials and a pendulum, driven by a sand or salt counterweight rather than batteries.

Why it is listed here

It runs on a counterweight and pendulum with no batteries or glue, so the motion comes entirely from the mechanism you build. At 27.87 inches tall it is a wall piece rather than a shelf model, and the manufacturer rates the difficulty at 4/5. The listing is plain that this is a hobby model with approximate time indication, and that tuning is part of the project.

What the build involves

Have a craft knife, scissors, suitable wall fixings and sand or salt for the recommended 0.55 kg (about 1.21 lb) counterweight ready. Sand and wax the gears and axles as the instructions describe, using the included candle and sandpaper. Mount it level and allow extra time beyond the 5 hours to calibrate the pendulum.
