Thanks to Clayton Boyer and those who helped design the Toucan. More below
Sorry about the Hum on the video cant figure out how to fix it.
I actually rewound the electromagnet three times, first time with plastic, second time I messed up on the soldering of the transistor, Dont put glue over the transistor until you know that it works properly, other wise its get messy when you have take it all apart and do it again.
I used Walnut for the frame, Bubinga for the clock face frame, Veneer for the top of the base plate and Buttons, Black walnut for the Toucan and for the beak I used Zebrawood. For the hands and Gears I used Baltic Birch Plywood.
I used my wife's oil from her sewing machine on the pendulum Toucan shaft as I didn't have any clock oil.
If the Pendulum is clunking, it needs adjusting, it just needs a gentle pulse for the pendulum to move.
Some things I didn't mention, I used a 8/32 tap for threading the top part of the pendulum and the weight shell and bob.
I increased the thickness/width of half the cannon pinion spacer to give the main wheel a little more stability, maybe not necessary but I did it as it also helps the grommet have more bite when tightening the cannon pinion to the shaft.
The Button on the intermediate is slightly larger to stop the hour wheel from creeping forward.
Super Glue, I hope I explained it properly, I took the pendulum bob off to fix the sloppines, I used the superglue the really runny one to wet the wood where the screw goes in, the super glue expands the wood or gets into the pores then dries and hardens slightly larger not much but enough so when I put my pendulum bob back on it fixed the sloppyness.
