Making A Wooden Clock,

is difficult enough,

 but that did not deter Kango Suzuki who is an art student at the Tohoku University of Art and Design in Japan from making one for his senior thesis exhibition this month,

but he had no idea what he was getting into, the plock as he calls it needed over 400 hand crafted parts,

and to make his life more difficult he wanted his plock to write the time and then reset itself using a contraption like device that was a popular kids toy a few years ago, the time resets itself every minute, the plock is run by 4 weights, in  an interview on the school's blog he stated 'it was the friction,' eliminating the friction between the cam and the arm was the most difficult, and then of course making everything move, the friction problem was the same that John Harrison faced in 1722 when he made the Brocklesby Park tower clock, the wheels were made from oak and to overcome friction he used lignum vitae, but back to Kango's plock what a fantastic device all built from scratch, amazing!
