As hobby, I built several Astronomical Clocks over the last years. I had to learn a lot, design, calculation, how to make wheels and other parts. Many tools had to be made, it took a lot
of time and effort. |
As a young boy sitting in the backyard in a cold winter night, I enjoyed the night Sky with thousands of sparkling stars, it was just after the Second World War and there was almost no disturbing light, sound carried for miles, I will never forget it. Many times I visited the famous Eise Eisinga Planetarium in my hometown, my lifetime love for astronomy and mechanics was born.
