   Found the answer to my own question.  Was FWW #56 and #57 in 1986.  Later reprinted in the book Small Woodworking Projects.  Now I just need to figure out how to get old copies of those magazines since reprints are not available and my library only has 1997+ issues.

   I just did a quick search and Amazon has the book "Small Woodworking Projects" by Fine Woodworking for $11.17 and the table of contents lists "Designing Wooden Clockworks - Movements and how they work" as one of the chapters. Can't you get reprints or the book from The Taunton Press?

   Look on eBay. There are a couple of groupings with both issues and several with one of them alone or with other issues. And prices are noticeably lower than when I was completing my collection. :( The search string I used was

   "fine woodworking" (56,57)

   Note no space after the comma.

   I have a Spring 1978 Issue that has an article on wood clockworks.  Some good design information.  The article inspired me to complete a Thomas Clock that I started in the early 70's.   If you cannot find this issue I would be happy to photocopy this article and mail to you.
