Mantle Clock

[Darley]

This is a project I have in mind for a long time he took me 3 months to do it including my tools, the wood is River Red Gum from " Echuca "

Thanks for looking

Now I better to go back to the workshop and turn some pens NOW :biggrin:

Serge, that is a very nice mantle clock. I particularly like your design as to how you have suspended the clock mechanism, looks like it's "floating" on air. Very impressive work.

A+ on design and originality. Nice craftsmanship. Great color of wood. Nice turnings. You get to move onto the next round.

:highfive:Excellent work on the clock, my Friend. Love the red gum also. I don't know if I have the patience to work on something for 3 months. I like every part of it.
Do a good turn daily!

Sorry Gary was waiting for you to ask :biggrin:

The metal rod with the finial is a draw bar to remove the clock insert, because the clock barrel is hold by a pear shape tenon ( 6mm) I though that it will be difficult to remove the clock insert by people with large fingers so did this draw bar, just push it through the finial and 'VOILA' to replace the clock insert use both hands and light push.

Thanks to all who comment and view the Mantle Clock

Nice work, I like the way the clock looking like it is floating. You are very patient, 3 months is a long time.

Thanks Cindy, this is including tools making and I have only 1 or 1 1/2 hour per night to do it, lots of mistake during the turning especialy the columns have to redo the tool 3 time
