Escapement wheels!
Just spent my afternoon wrestling with escapement wheels 🔧⌚️. Got the 15 teeth version down, but that 24 teeth one is being a real puzzle! Anyone got tips on tackling the locking face angle? Check out my sketches: https://thebitcoinwatchmaker.com/post/view/escapement-wheels/ 😊
You're diving into George Daniels' watchmaking with a focus on the "Semi Equidistant Club-Toothed escapement," nailing it with 15 teeth but hitting a snag with 24 teeth, especially with the locking face angle and left jewel placement. If precision watchmaking and problem-solving with escapements is your jam, you'll find this journey relatable. Check out the sketches for a closer look at the challenges you're tackling. 🕰️

been making a script that follows George Daniel's Watchmaking, particularly the "Semi Equidistant Club-Toothed escapement" (which I think is a good option?), and it works great for 15 teeth escapements, but, for a movement Im working on, I need 24 teeth, Im mostly having trouble calculating the Locking face angle and the position of the left jewel.
