Tunes of Brass

A Harmony tenor guitar gifted by a friend. As with my mandolin “Punkolin”, the wood of the guitar was so beautiful I wanted to keep the design simple and compliment the beauty of the wood. In working with the brass clock gears I either use brass screws to attach them or when they have the post on the back I will find a drill bit a tiny bit smaller than the post, use that to drill a hole through the wood and then using a small hammer tap the gear into the hole to the elevation I want. Getting gears to overlap each other is the challenge. Most of the gears come from cuckoo clocks that I carefully tear apart.
