Magica - Wooden Clock (Holzuhr)

[@mike_van_in]

Wow! What an elegant looking assembly! Beautiful.

[@holzmechanik]

Thank you Mike.

[@pugsilant7385]

ok I will try and buy your plans when iggrow up

[@garyshirinian]

Beautiful.

[@garyshirinian]

How much are the drawings .

[@SCCFORUM]

Another fantastic project. I will add this to my Schneckchen pattern. Regards Paul

[@simonvanthoff]

Beautifully made and very elegantly designed clock !! I wish it was for sale :-)

[@holzmechanik]

Thank you man. You should to build your own with my plans ;-)

[@simonvanthoff]

holzmechanik thank you for your response! Well, I think I understand your reaction, given some of the objects you see on my own channel....but....well...everybody has it's own talents and although your plans are very precisely made and look very attractive I do know my own limits :-) because this kind of wood-based structures are something I just cannot do myself: working with wood is not one of my talents unfortunately! (My own kinetic machines are mostly made of paper and cardboard and, besides that, really specifically "designed" with practical use of my own "building-boundarie-talents" so to speak :). So yeah, that all said, I still réally wished this beautiful Magical Clock is for sale! Greetings from the Netherlands! Simon

[@lavernekrahenbil736]

Instead of purchasing 1/2" Baltic Birch plywood would it be reasonable to glue two 1/4" BB plywood's together and then do the cut out? It is difficult buying a small size of 1/2" BB plywood for me. Your plans are very detailed and the English description is excellent. Looking forward to this project.

[@holzmechanik]

Thank you. Yes this is the best way to do it if you can not get 1/2" plywood.

What is making the clock have a reverse torque that the 2nd escapement catch is holding after the pendulum increments?

Sir nice clock i want full plan of the clock

[@KokoMbella]

Sehr schöne Arbeit!

[@zarbi123456]

I wanted to ask where to buy the solenoid and other special parts. Thanks

[@Baschroe]

Ach ist das coool! Herrlich! :)

[@gsuresh2u]

Hi, wonderful clock, I have cnc machine, I want to buy plan, but where to but that solinoid and curcuit? Please give me link to buy solinoid, they I will buy plan, Thanks

[@markrichardson1171]

can i purchase the solenoid in the uk ??

[@holzmechanik]

Unfortunately not the exact same one but with the plans I can send you supply sources for an alternative coil if you don't want to import it from the continent.

[@rogerjette5498]

Great clock. Are the electronics purchased or are does one make them from a schematic?

[@holzmechanik]

Thanks. The electronics are purchased. You only have to solder the battery holders to the cicuit board.

[@aNicerPlace]

Great, elegant design! How accurate is this (mins/day) and do you see potential for further projects using an electromagnet?

[@holzmechanik]

Thank you my friend. Because the clock is of wood, the accuracy depends on humidity and temperature. Sometimes it looses 1 minute/week. Other times it looses 2-3 minutes/week. For a wooden clock this is very accurate. For more accuracy people can buy a atomic clock ;-) My future projects are always top secret. Stay tuned for my next projects. Christopher

[@Bhatakti_Hawas]

in roman numerals, 4 is written as IV, but in watches & clocks it is written as IIII for hundreds of years...reason is debatable, most popular one is that number of letters on either side of an imaginary vertical line running through the centre of the clock is same, i.e. it is symmetrical BTW ur clock is pure awesomeness 😊😊😊

[@holzmechanik]

Thanks Abid. Yes I know this. But I like the IV more, so that's the reason why I have not used the traditionally spelling for dials. It is also easier to cut ;-)

[@alidonmez15]

I live in Turkey. I want to buy the plans. In Turkey, however, Paypal is not used. I want to buy with credit card if Turkey does not exist in the option list. How Can I buy plans?

[@holzmechanik]

Hi Ali, sorry for that. But at the moment I can not offer a suitable payment option for Turkey.

[@alidonmez15]

I've done shopping before. PayPal was open at that time. You sent drawings without a problem. Unfortunately, I can not make purchases at the moment. Do not you get a chance to get these drawings for free? :) :) :)

[@alidonmez15]

I do not know english. I use translation. I apologize for the language.

[@holzmechanik]

Hello Ali, yes I know that PayPal has left Turkey. I'm also not happy about this but I can not change it. I hope PayPal will return. Maybe my free plans of "Katz & Maus" will be a consolation.

[@alidonmez15]

thanks :(((

[@smdetroja]

I want to buy watch like this

[@PGPP]

First of all, great clock. Could you get the material from lazer cuting and maybe gluing? (also is there going to be a discount at some point? im a student and I can't afford the price :) )

[@holzmechanik]

Thanks Basilis. If you buy the plans, I can send you also the dxf file, with which you can let you cut the parts with a laser. Instead of a discount you can build my free plans Katz & Maus. They are downloadable at my website. The plans of Magica are worth the money. Wish you a nice weekend, Christopher

Make a tutorial please

[@jamesgyorko3850]

How much are the plans in US dollars?

[@holzmechanik]

Hi James, the value of a currency changes daily so please go to my website for the Euro price and convert it to US dollar at this website: transferwise.com/us/currency-converter/eur-to-usd-rate

[@maludo2496]

Ich würde sehr gerne die Pläne kaufen, ich kann leider aber nicht darauf vertrauen, dass der Antrieb mit der Magnetspule funktioniert (Ich habe schlechte Erfahrungen gemacht :(( Wie funktioniert denn dieser Antrieb genau? Welche Platine wurde benutzt?

[@ПашаПитецкий]

Який великий клас,мені дуже подобається,прелєсть, скажіть будь ласка,як можно таке зробити самому ,де навчитися,де взяти чертежі , технології виготовлення,я сам займаюся ремонтом годинників,жду на вашу відповідь,та як з вами зв'язатися, шановний

Hola como estas saludos desde colombia me gustaria saber cuanto cuesta los planos para este proyecto del reloj.

[@holzmechanik]

Hi, you can find this info and more about this clock at my website: holzmechanik.de/

[@therma1307]

si el instructivo incluye especificaciones y diagrama electronico es posible encontrar los componentes electronicos en mexico

[@holzmechanik]

In the plans I have a source in the USA for the electronic parts. The wiring is well explained with pictures. Warm Regards to Mexico, Christopher

[@therma1307]

[@pugsilant7385]

my favourite design is the simplistic clock whats yours?

[@holzmechanik]

Magica is at the moment also my favourite.

[@abdifatahibrahim201]

It seems using more power/batteries but amazing work

[@400kh]

Your works are wonderful and there is no such thing in the Middle East

[@widjisantoso3074]

hi, why you stop making things?

[@holzmechanik]

I didn’t stop making things. Designing mechanical projects like this is a time consuming process because it is my goal to make them fun to build. You can subscribe to my newsletter if you haven’t until yet, to get more info as fast as possible.

[@Kerozen759]

Très jolie pendulette ! Quel est sa réserve de jour ?

[@holzmechanik]

Thank you Kerozen. The clock runs with one charge for about 3-4 months.

[@reducki]

Hallo Christopher Die Uhr ist fantastisch! Ich würde mir den Bauplan für die Uhr gerne kaufen. Vorher möchte ich aber noch wissen wie teuer die elektrischen Teile sind und wo ich sie kaufen kann. Vielleicht kannst du mir da weiterhelfen.

[@holzmechanik]

Hallo Reducki, herzlichen Dank. Die Elektronik und auch das restliche Material sind sehr günstig. Die Spule mit Platine und Batteriehaltern kostet ca. 6€. Bezugsquellen habe ich im Bauplan angegeben.

[@reducki]

Danke für die schnelle Antwort!

PUDE VENDERME LOS PLANOS DE ESTE MODELO DE RELOJ,BELLO TODO SU TRABAJO,SALUDOS DESDE MEXICO...GRACIAS.

[@holzmechanik]

Hello Lilia. Thank you. I do sell plans of my designs. You can buy them at my website: holzmechanik.de/index_eng.html

[@Afief]

Wow this is amazing! Too bad I'll have to build a CNC machine to be able to use the plans :-(

[@holzmechanik]

Thanks. You can also build it only with handtools. But I recommend a scroll saw. A CNC machine is not necessary.

[@Afief]

Sorry my wood skills are non-existent, so I didn't know what a scroll saw was before googling. I am really amazed by your work, but I think I will start by building your CNC router (from your plans) and then move to these beautiful clocks. I know nothing about woodwork, I know something about CNC, better build on my skills than risk losing a finger.

[@dayiothmane5943]

Good job 👍 can I have please more informations about the electronic system ?

[@holzmechanik]

Thank you Dayi. The clock is driven by a solenoid coil, which gives the pendulum at each swing the needed energy to keep it swinging. You don't have to wind the coil by yourself because it is a standard part which you can buy. In the plans you will find supply sources for the coil for different countries.

Powered by batteries.. it is a bit strange... Bud I realy like this one design...

[@luispadilla7519]

Bello quiero uno 💪🇦🇷

[@yarikpavliskiy3520]

Hello.What electronics controls the clock?Similar to the Arduino.

[@holzmechanik]

Hi Yarik, there is no need for a microcontroller. The magnet of the pendulum switches a transistor and then the batteries are powering the coil. The clock ist mechanical, so the time comes from the length of the pendulum.

holzmechanik for how long will the batteries last? (approximately). How accurate is the time after a couple of days? Would it be possible to use thinner material, 5mm?

[@holzmechanik]

Hi Richard, I have used rechargeable batteries and they last for about 3-4 months. Then you have to recharge them. For a wooden clock it is very accurate. In the last two weeks I have lost only one minute. Yes you can also use 5mm ply if you want. Wish you a nice weekend, Christopher

[@pugsilant7385]

why cant it be only the free templats and why is it so expensive

[@holzmechanik]

Because it takes many hours and prototypes to design a new clock. If you buy my plans, you will see that they are more than the usually "free" plans on the internet. My plans for my "Katz & Maus" automaton are free. You can download them here: holzmechanik.de/katz%20u.%20maus_eng.html

[@abtkar1744]

I can scale the clock

[@holzmechanik]

Scaling the clock is possible but difficult, because the length of the pendulum should be the same. Otherwise you have to change the translation ratio. And this will be a lot of work. So if you want the clock bigger, the easiest way is to only make the dial and the hands larger.
