Ben Franklin designed clock with added six 683ZZ ball bearings and 3mm stainless steel rods to the design as to reduce friction in the clock. Use rod clips as keepers for the 3mm smooth rod. I redid the faces for this clock awhile back if you would rather use it as the numbering and such is inset : https://www.printables.com/model/11105-ben-franklin-clock-dials. You'll also have to come across some string for the weights.

Heres the extra parts youll need itemized :

six 683zz ball bearings https://amzn.to/3AHf2CA

1 yard long by 1/4 (roughly 6.35mm) inch wooden dowel

$2 in US pennies for the drive weight or any 19mm in diameter metal disk / coin.

1.5 yards of mason line https://amzn.to/3HzFrWK

a paperclip or something else for the drive weight hook

M8-1.25 threaded rod roughly 115mm long for clock weight
