RECENTLY MY WIFE TOLD ME “DON’T MAKE ANY MORE CLOCKS”, SO NATURALLY THE RIGHT THING TO DO IS BUILD A CUCKOO CLOCK.
I JUST FINISHED THIS ONE THIS PAST WEEKEND AND IT HANGS IN OUR LODGE ROOM.
THE MOVEMENT WAS ORDERED FROM THE KLOCK-IT CATALOG, WITH THE PARTS THEY SEND A GREAT LITTLE FULL SIZE PLAN FOR THE CASE.
THE “LOGS” ARE CUT FROM 3/8” DOWELS CUT WITH A MINI MITER BOX AND A RAZOR SAW.
WIFE IS NOT IN LOVE WITH THIS PROJECT BUT SHE TOLERATES IT.

Nice job Ray. You sure know how to upset the boss. How are you going to keep her on side now?.

Ray that is a terrific little clock. I hate to see you upset your wife – if it will help, I will send you my address and you can ship it my way – hope that takes some of the pressure off of you. I’m like you, I love clocks and really enjoy making them. They do get a bit to expensive to keep giving away – but at some point you end up with enough clocks, especially if you are like me and like the ones that chime in the time, it can get a bit noisy :-)).

Very nice clock. I just don’t understand these wives who get “enough” of our projects. :-)

HI GUYS AND THANKS FOR THE COMMENTS, THEY ARE ALWAYS APPRECIATED.
THE WIFE IS NOT REALLY UPSET, SHE SHOWS THE CLOCK TO EVERYONE THAT COMES OVER…AND I AM IN THE PROCESS OF BUILDING HER A NEW COMPUTER DESK.
MORE CLOCKS WILL BE SHOWN OFF IN THE FUTURE,
