Clocks, robots and electric motors
An aspiration of many an model engineer is to make a clock. Roger Wood of Klockwerks has made hundreds of clocks in his livein workshop in an old munitions factory in downtown Toronto making a range of fabulous clocks. The clocks are made from found items (or scrap to us).
Gordon Bennett of Bennet Robot works also works with previously loved materials. His robots are all unique (complete with tags) and made from materials such as bakelite, metal and rubber.
David House of the Old Model Company prefers to keep things a little more conventional. His old electric motors are all exact replicas and show how the “pioneers of the time tried to mimic steam engine technology”.
