The brass bar wouldn't be to hard to get but the brass sheet is engraving brass, much harder to source in the size I want.

Around 1968-9 I saw a rolling ball clock in a jewellers, it fascinated me and I said one day I am going to build one, well that day has arrived.
I got the plans last year and and ordered some of the brass over xmas, which hasn't been delivered yet, its a long term project as the wife has other things for me to do.

Be aware............
They are bloody noisy !!!!!!!!
I ended up building an air spaced ( 25mm ) cover for mine out of 6mm plate glass ( I got the glass from a shop door they were going to skip, took it to the glazier, give him all the sizes. Glued it all together using clear silicone )
