Another Dancing Clock

Looks like a fun build

I have too many other projects going on right now to do this one yet, but that issue of Wood Magazine is open to the page with this clock project. I like doing clocks, and this one looks like a LOT of fun…

Nice clock. I’m with you I couldn’t wait till Christmas. There has to be another reason to give it to her now…....Schloemoe

Very cute clock. And I would assume it was fun to build. The average little girl, including my grand children, would love it.

Yesterday I fixed a vacuum cleaner for my handicapped step daughter, Mychelle. She is 30, but is a perpetual mental 8 year old, who can’t read. She is very obsessive-compulsive, and if something has blemishes or problems she tends to throw it out. She also likes to clean, so needs the vacuum. In fact, we gave her this vaccum for a Christmas present, and she was delighted. Don’t think that vacuum cleaners are your average gift item.

So the vacuum, with a broken prong to hold an attachment, needed to be functional. So I replaced the plastic piece with a piece of galvanized steel that had adequate spring characteristics to help hold the tool in place. It will probably outlast the life of the machine.

Moral of story, gifts are very individual to the recipient of the gift. She will be very happy her vacuum was repaired.

She has an obsession with watches, digital ones. Has difficultly with reading analog clocks. If I were to build a clock for Mychelle, it would have to be digital one. So, now you have me thinking. She also has a cat, and so we tend to give her things with cats in them. I bet she would like a digital clock imbedded in a cat as the background. Hmmm. That may be not a bad idea. That would be the cat’s meow….......(-:

Cross checked this with Sherie just now, and she said it would be perfect.

So now I know what I can give her for Christmas. Thanks for the post, got me a great idea for a project.

That’s really cute and a wonderful gift! I’m sure she’ll cherish this for years and thick of you everytime she looks at it.

You know Lew, I like it a lot, but tell Mimi that I agree with Autumn, give it to her now.

Share the joy now in a wonderful way and make it Christmas all year round.

I have never seen such an expressive clock… I agree with the above … do it now… when she is least expecting it…
