lightmybriar, the course sounds fascinating. You'll learn mechanical engineering, physics, materials, and more. I think the career openings might be severely limited and specialized niches, but if you are doing it for the love of it, that's no consideration. We will soon have children graduating from high school, I fear, who won't be able to read an analog clock or watch. Being backward about all things digital, and maybe a little too proud of it, I wear a watch and rarely refer to devices for the time, though my watches are quartz. Notably, the digital readout is not always right. bassbug, that is an amazing wooden clock. My grandparents had a mantel clock that rung out the hour. My wife lived in a farmhouse and her dad collected clocks, and they went off at all hours, so to her, it was just the sound of home.
