It’s a very sensitive leveling issue now. I’m up to 30s continuous ticking.pic.twitter.com/1nLEfirVTG

The leveling mechanism is kinda silly: a set of four pairs of wooden lifting pegs. The instructions tell you which side to raise depending on where the tooth on the escape wheel stops relative to rocker. I’m using sheets of paper to adjust. Gonna add leveling scenes instead.pic.twitter.com/RoL4LMostF

Ok got up to 45 seconds. Now I know what the problem is. I’m calling this project done and triggering a new one: Project Clock Leveling. 3d printed shoes with leveling screws screw for the clock may be involved.

easier to reliably print than threads: two wedges that you can slide together to adjust height

I did think of that, but then I have loose parts not attached to the clock feet

oh, I assumed you'd glue them once you figured out the balance

Oh hmm. That world mean the clock can’t be moved once leveled for a location

haha, how often do you plan to move your fragile giant wooden clock? you're right, though: threads are more adaptable, wedges are just dead simple and I thought it might be an easy fix

Well it’s actually fairly sturdy. Just sensitive as a clock. So hopefully it’ll survive a move or two.
