Plans and Patterns to Build a Galileo Escapement Video

Plans and Patterns are available at this website: dctdrawings.com
This video shows how to paste the patterns on the wood. And then how to drill, saw, sand, and assemble the parts to make the Galileo Escapement. When completed the escapement can be mounted on the wall as a working model.

[@mikemeyer4499]

Your plans are excellent. I have made three of your escapements so far and they all worked i have one more to make. Thank you!

[@davidtvrdy3297]

Thank you so much. I'm working on a fifth. I will send it to you when it's ready.

[@mikemeyer4499]

@@davidtvrdy3297 You must be an engineer. Your drawings are amazing. You have included excellent detail and helpful suggestions. Your instructions are clear and concise.

[@donsanders9863]

Thank you David for the plans and for making this video. I just ordered the plans and the process was easy, affordable and everything went smoothly. I am looking forward to building this project.

[@davidtvrdy3297]

Thank you

[@andrewg3262]

Thank you for this. I bought your plans about a year ago and had pasted them up right before surgery on my shoulder. I've now got everything cut and just need to assemble. Appreciate all your amazing plans

[@davidtvrdy3297]

Thank you for those kind words. I hope you are enjoying the builds. David

[@bob2161]

This is exactly what I've been looking for. I've been wanting to build one of these for a while but had never actually tried to locate plans and instructions. You've put it all together, made it so easy, I just had to place an order. We will have to see how it goes.

[@davidtvrdy3297]

Thanks and email me if you need [e-mail]

[@MiguelGonzalez-iy2bn]

The same thing happened to me, I couldn't get a good reference until now, I'm going to make it and I'll write again from there, thanks, excellent information!

[@charliewhite9777]

Plans are clear , understandable and affordable thanks Dave . Gonna visit the store for more .

[@davidtvrdy3297]

Thanks

[@saadmobarak6277]

david my brother you're the greatest of all time

[@davidtvrdy3297]

Thanks for those kind words.

[@donsanders9863]

David, I just completed the Galileo’s escapement from the plans I bought from you recently. It works great! Thanks so much. Your plans are excellent. I used a candle to lubricate the gears because the graphite falls off to easily. That was a fun project and worth every penny for the plans.

[@davidtvrdy3297]

That was very nice of you to say and thanks for the suggestions

[@danielmierop662]

Thank you so much for sharing! Excellent video , project, and presentation. I’m ordering the plans now and will make some for my young grand nephews.

[@davidtvrdy3297]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@petercook5581]

Excellent plans and instructions! Thanks!

[@orcasea59]

Very nice. I've often thought of tackling a clock project, but wanted to try something a little more in-between first. This looks like a great first project!

[@davidtvrdy3297]

Thanks to you for your kind remarks

[@walterwinnipeg7350]

David, thanks so much for presenting this project! As others have already said, this one is just the right size for someone who wants to build a clock-like mechanism, but isn't quite ready to tackle a full clock (and that group includes me). I'll be placing my order soon!

[@davidtvrdy3297]

I think you will enjoy this project. Let me know how it works out. Thanks for your comment.

WOW !!!! EXCELENTE TUTORIAL GOOD JOB, CONTINUE PLEASE, GOD BLESS YOU AND FAMILY

Wow, I love this I am going to buy the plans from your website next month, thank you for sharing.

thank you, how nice of you to leave those words

Beautiful!

[@davidtvrdy3297]

Thank you!

[@woody350ep1]

Just a note about how you marked the teeth on the gears for the mesh. IDK the calculations on these gears specifically, but a well designed set of gears should maximize the number of different tooth contact variations to minimize the set so marking these shouldn't really matter too much. I haven't done gear design in a while, but I remember some calculations we ran through in my kinematics class in college and that was one of the things that we worked on. Nice job on the build, though!

[@davidtvrdy3297]

Thanks for your observations and comments. So if the number of teeth in the small gear divides evenly into the big gear then the small gear teeth will always land in the same location on the big gear. Once you have fixed the gears so the small gear will make one revolution around the big gear your done. If you move the small gear to start in a different location you have a whole new set of problems. You are right of course. If you were to purchase gears from a gear manufacture they would work fine just like your saying. Thank you for your interest. I hope you buy a plan and check out my theory. David

[@woody350ep1]

@@davidtvrdy3297 yep if they’re set up to always fall into the same teeth pattern you are absolutely right! While that’s not the preferred method, I’m sure my point is probably not critical in the application of wooden teeth cut on a scroll saw anyhow lol. It’s surely not meshing the same for every tooth. Sometimes the engineering brain in me has a hard time disengaging and it spills over into the woodworker brain in me 😂

[@carlmunoz9765]

hello if i were to make this into an actual clock that tells the seconds.. what would i need to change? i need it to be accurate, thank you!

Hello, if I resize the device can we make run faster?

Amazing!!

Thanks!!

[@minskie]

The scroll saw blades you show- is it a spiral blade and how many teeth on the blade?

[@davidtvrdy3297]

The blade that I have been using is a Size: 2 .022" thick with a .046" Dia. with 44 TPI fabricated by Supercut Bandsaw Co. Inc. Post Falls, Idaho 83854 Thanks for your interest.

This video is so helpfull for me i want to make this

[@davidtvrdy3297]

[@rbouchera]

Hello , Iread your answer that your escapment run between 15 to 20 minutes , Can we run it for longer time ?

[@davidtvrdy3297]

There is a weight hanging from a string. The string is tied to a reel that drives the big gear. From where the weight starts to the time it touches down on the floor is how long the escapement will run. Mounting the escapement higher on the wall will increase the time, but not significantly.

[@judylaing7266]

Can I buy the plans direct from you?

[@frankvunderink1047]

Is the movement on the video also from 1/2" plywood ? It looks thicker

[@davidtvrdy3297]

Yes, it is 1/2" plywood. You can purchase plans at DCTdrawings.com Thank you for your interest. David

[@ammarkassam6747]

How long does this run for?

[@davidtvrdy3297]

15 TO 20 minutes

[@deanage1983]

Do you have plans in metric? (Mm)

[@alastairstaunton7081]

Hi, these clock designs are amazing! Would love to buy but in Europe we use A4 paper, which is slightly smaller than the US size you make the drawings for. Is there any way to adapt? Thanks!

[@davidtvrdy3297]

It is possible to reduce the size of the escapement by using the Google Print program and changing the scale. If you still need help email me at [e-mail]

[@frankvunderink1047]

I've printed it on A3 paper with 100% scale, that works, maybe you can use an online printshop ?

[@zaliodamian]

Buenas noches donde puedo conseguir los planos a escala real ?

I am not currently set up for Euro. Sorry

So 😎

Hi has anyone tried printing these plans on A4 ?

[@frankvunderink1047]

Won't fit, A3 works for me !

bonsoir je suis abonné j'ai payé pas reçu le plan déçu attendre combien de temps
