I've been so busy surfing the web that I forgot to say that we have had our first wind-up of the clock. It goes for about a week, before the bottom of the weights can be felt just under the apron at the bottom. So this Tuesday was wind-up night.
The little winder works really well and it makes a nice ratchety noise as you wind. It winds anti-clockwise (much to Lisbeth's surprise) and you have to wind up two weights: one for the clock and one for the chime. It seems to have gone well: nothing fell off or broke and the clock is merrily ticking away and chiming, just slightly behind the big church clock.
