Comments (6)Gee, the world has ended several time in my lifetime--and I see the Event more as a source of "stress relief," (a/k/a HUMOR) than I do anything else! The first End of the World I actually remember was in 1959 when a sect of the Seventh Day Adventists KNEW it was going to end! I, and all my classmates, sat in our high school English class watching the clock--and NOT listening to the teacher! The time for The End came and went--and we, some of us at least, went back to listening to the teacher! Here's a site with info about The End of the World from AD 114 to 2060! Since this site goes PAST 2015, I guess there's still hope!!! http://www.lloydthomas.org/7-EndTimeIssues/Predictions.htm And here's another "End of the World" site, Fun Facts About the End of the World! I think this one is really funny, and I crack up about the way this guy "compares" the theories from the different religions about what's gonna happen at the end of the world! http://www.neatorama.com/2007/01/24/fun-facts-about-the-end-of-the-world/ Then there's this RMG thread from 2012--when the World Ended! http://forums.gardenweb.com/discussions/2143333/the-shortest-day-or I THINK we're all still here! ;-D As pertains to OT topics, Digit, I think maybe we could use a couple new ones around here right now! It's been really slow again! Here are a couple of the olde OT threads to maybe give somebody some ideas! We need some ACTION around here! One of my favorites--and the one where we snagged Jali into posting here--a lot! [Chirp, chirp, Jali!] http://forums.gardenweb.com/discussions/2142619/the-grand-view-rmg?n=32 And I started this one when the "topic" came up on another thread! In looking thru it again I noticed that some of the posts are still truncated--apparently from the Houzz Takeover, but it's still fun to read what's left! http://forums.gardenweb.com/discussions/2130590/ye-olde-folks?n=50 And one more of our "general" threads--from when things were too slow! http://forums.gardenweb.com/discussions/2143064/a-thread-for-everyone?n=25 Anybody have any good ideas for a "thread for everyone" to get things moving around here again--since the world didn't end--and we don't want RMG to end!

Comments (15)I'm finishing a restoration of a shelf clock mechanism that was built in 1830. That's just the mechanism, mind you. There's much left to do cosmetically on the case. This old clock keeps good time for a pendulum regulated clock. I could improve it designing a temperature compensated pendulum, however, it is good the way it is and is authentic in form and function. It was my wife's grandfather's clock. We estimate that the clock was 70 yr old when he acquired it. According to a note I found on the back of the clock face, it had been repaired in 1933. That repair included the replacement of a gear. I found a note inscribed on that gear that named both the repairman and the owner. This clock should be good for another 50 years....See Moreplllog
