Very Nice Charlie,
Now you have to build the matching mantle to put it on!
Very nicely done. The wood compliments the kit.
VERY nice work!!! I have never even thought of making a clock due to lack of woodworking skills. Yours however, is beautiful!
Measure twice, cut once, go get another piece of wood.. measure twice..
"I've cut this piece of wood twice and it's still to short!" :biggrin:
That looks very nice. What router bit did you use to get the profile on the stiles? It looks like a triple bead bit, I love the look of that profile.
Charlie
If you ever make another as a suggestion use a piece of mirror for the back side. It adds even more flare.You know .. I was just thinking about that this morning as I was looking
at it. It *is* rather dark, too .. the mirror might brighten it up, as it isn't so
easy to see the hands. Brass colored plastic parts and black hands in a
dark wooden box. hmmmm
I was also thinking about picking your brains for beginner sources if this gets
any attention. I picked up the kit on a whim, but it seems like I could
make one in about 1/5 the time it took to make the first one.. and make it
better. If people like it, I'd like to do the same basic thing with a better
movement. Up close, I'm not crazy about the plastic..
