Cuckoo mechanism

My original idea was to cut the kit down to the bare minimum depth in the front and make a wall-hanging cuckoo clock with minis decorating it.  Then I thought, "Why have a normal cuckoo clock for a real life house when you can have a giant cuckoo come out of the front of a mini clock shop?!!"  :D

Having a working cuckoo clock enclosed in the structure didn't seem that out of reach until I started looking for a mechanism to build around.  It hadn't occurred to me that I would need a pendulum and weights for the classic mechanism.  :glare:  So, then I searched for tabletop cuckoo clocks and found this amazing MUJI cuckoo clock.  It's a small, concise mechanism with actual bellows for that authentic sound.  In fact, I liked it so much, I couldn't bear to take it apart and had to order a second one to incorporate into Half Clocked.

How cool is that?  An actual working cuckoo clock in your house.  What a great find!  And now we understand the reason for the removable wall.  :)
