	Hello Guest, They are either made by the hand of a carefully trained enthusiast, an instrument maker, or in a factory. Have a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timer Hope that assists you.

	buy a mechanical clock or an egg timer. or ask a local terriost union for help. I reality what type of mechanical timer are you looking to make or info on something like the old gradfather clocks or use in an industrical setting or some where there is no power? You could google "clock works" that could start you in a direction. Al though a little more info would help in what you want. -Charles __________________ Metal is the material, The forge is life, The anvil and hammer bring character and soul.
