There are a number of plans for tall case clock cases on the web. I can give you some sources, if you like. I don't know of any, however, that include plans for the works.
Building clock works, whether wood or brass, is a very different specialty from woodworking. Even in historical times, the works, cases, and dials were almost always made by different craftsmen - for good reason.
Can you be more specific?
thanks,
dan
Sorry for the confusion. As far as the works go i was talking about dimensions for dial face, swing, those type things. i want a clock with simple lines, but not a mission look. i like the Terry style but the blue prints have no directions with them. i'm used to more structured plans.
