Fantastic project and beautifully done too. I’ve been wanting to make a wooden clock for some time now. I would be happy if I could make one 1/10 as good. I think the idea of making one is intimidating even after reading lots of how-to articles on the subject. Thanks for showing us this and thanks for the inspiration too!

From the photos I notice a few design changes from your previous clock, but what most impresses me about this addition to your portfolio is the stand: simple, understated, perfect. Charles, you the man!
