This is awesome. You mention in the blog that you didn't want to use a laser cutter for personal reasons. Were there any parts of this clock (besides the weight) that might be too thick for a laser cutter? Do you feel any of the wooden parts will not last very long?

Looks amazing! I have a new project.

maybe:

• make 30 degree triangle jig.
• put long piece on jig.
• laser corner off of long piece at 60 degree angle needed for fit.
• turn piece, do other side.
• repeat for all pieces.

Beautifully executed project! The technique you showed is great for non-90-degree angles when the inside won't be visible. When the look of the inside surface is also important something like u/i-make-robots might work better.
