Woodenclocks Links

I have collected together a number of links over the last couple of years all loosely related to research into clock making and materials used in wooden clocks plus other research for my Da Vinci site. All of this was collected on a site called Urlist, this was a nice asset for me as I could pass on a link to any one interested in where I got my clock materials from. Unfortunately Urlist is to close at the end of this year so I have decided to place all of those links here for any visitor to use so feel free to use the links in your own research.

    Dear Mr. Law.
    I am making wooden clocks for more than 20 years now. I must say that I learnt from your posts a lot.
    By gathering all the posts in different order, you get the best "bible" for a wooden clock maker I can think of.
    Thank you so much for publishing the posts.
