Hi Every I am just wanting to know if anyone has any patterns for small clocks like mantle clocks etc or wall clocks. I am just wanting to do some nice small clocks to add to my larger wall clocks.
Thanks Ian

Ian: I, like John T above, have made hundreds of clocks in my lifetime. You are going to have to narrow that " small clock" down a bit !! They include 7' grandfathers, wall clocks of all sizes. mantal clocks, and clocks the size of the mini clock in the photos below and smaller. This one is 10 1/2 inches tall, tells time, and has a battery operated pendulem. Made of Ebony and some African hardwood I can't remember the name of. Give me a better idea of what you want to make, and I may be able to tell you where to look for a pattern. Jim S
I made one on a scroll saw last Summer. I will post a picture of it. In fact I made 2 of them but this one turned out much better. Here is a picture of mine. It is a Steve Good pattern Fay
John T mentioned a Granmother clock he wanted to make for his mother. For those of you who wonder what this is , I have a photo of a walnut one that hangs in my dining room. Same upper case as a granfather clock but only goes down to the chair rail with weights and pendulem hanging freely. I also included a photo of a wall clock made from walnut and maple for Ian. Jim S

Interesting. I have been repairing clocks for 40 years and have never heard of a wall clock called grandmother or granddaughter clock. The clocks that come into the shop are floor clocks. But then I have not seen everything there is to see or heard everything there is to hear.
The scrolled clocks you show are gorgeous. Thanks for posting.
