Yeah, no, pics are broken still I guess.
Solid attempt, I'm sure.

This was supposed to be a screenshot showing that it was a .jpg I was uploading. But, then: Warning (2): imagecreatefromjpeg(): gd-jpeg, libjpeg: recoverable error: in /includes/functions.php on line 1776
And the screen shot was a .jpg... I'd screen shot the screen shot upload to show you it's a .jpg, but, seems recursive.

ah, yup, tteh, i found your problem, it's with .jpg images. possibly .gifs too. but .png images at least work.

and i also found pics of the Sattler clock from 2002ish that was the inspiration for the javascript css clock i'm making. it's a beautiful, gracile Tear-drop Tavern clock that goes back to Edwardian era clocks. Balloon Table clocks are similar, like chopped below the waist and flare out to a flat base instead of being horizontally symmetrical. And there's interest in a physical version, so i'm working on it in a CAD program now. i have no idea if the case is technically feasible. mechanism, yea, case, ennngh, maybe? it's like a.... 20% chance of happening? it'd be dope tho. wide pendulums are nifty.
anyway, that's all the clock shtick i've got for now.

oh, and look at the door on the sattler. that wooden spline along the interior to fix the glass into the frame. it's perfect. and not a rubber gasket retainer strip stapled in place. stuff like that you'd never notice. craftsmanship is something i appreciate as much as authenticity. once you see it, you can tell.

and a 1790s Teardrop Tavern clock as an example of the style that influenced sattler's design. this is quite big compared to the sattler clock, which could fit top-to-bottom inside just the clock dial of the antique. technically the one i have drafted up is based on a pendulum that's about 1 meter long, so it would be quite big. And i may have to redesign it for half the size if it's going to be a physical thing. that would mean starting from scratch with the gear train, which isn't all that big of a deal, tbh, but it'll be more complex and need a 4th wheel and an idler gear, and redesigned plates.And i know y'all don't really care or have any interest in clocks. Deal with it nerds.

Bunch are. Probably keeps, hold on a sec...
@previous (D)
Omg, are you seriously butthurt over a fucking thread you can easily ignore? See the name squeegee? Go to settings, find the "words that make ur butt hurt" field, type in "s-q-u-e-e-g-e-e", the check the little box next to "ostrich mode," and -ur still a fagot, but like magic, you go a head and MAKE me fuck off, swizzle dick. It's just that EZ. You sociopathic anonymous nobody. Thanks.
@1,236,973 (dw !p9hU6ckyqw)
...anyway, probably keeps excellent time. No one needs a traditional mechanical clock, but they make quite a statement when you find the right one. Not all will stand out, but when one does, it's like art.

i could probably tell you how to fix it if it can be fixed if you want to mess with posting pics of it. is it the time keeping that borked or the egg pack carton part that damaged? the clock part is super easy to replace if it's the battery kind. you may need to change the hands, but they come with hands, that's the only thing -if you want to keep the hands original then you have to get the right kind of replacement mechanism to fit the hands. you can actually tell by looking where the hands plug onto the shaft -if there's a nut that holds on the minute hand then that's called an I-shaft and you'd simply need an I-shaft quartz mechanism. it's like, probably costs less than eggs. available on amazon and online places. hobby shops sometimes have them. and they just have a washer and nut that screws them into place, then attach hands, usually ur done. the hour hand can be weird, it's a press fit. round shaft, round hole, it's tapered, so usually fits.
if the hands don't have a hand nut holding the minute hand on, and it's round and has a round shaft too then it's a press fit, and you usually have to modify the hands to match, and is a pain without a tool called a reamer. so, using the hands that come with the mech is the easiest way to 1-shot a quartz repair.
and, yeah, if you really like it and want to keep it and make it work again it's not the hardest thing in the world.

Does owning a teardrop clock mean you've killed someone?
