Russell – can I have one??? Pllleeeezee.

Great job!

Those are really nice, Russel. Now that you’ve got a start maybe it will grow and grow and be a grandpappy clock some day.

Thanks for looking. I like the idea of a Grandson clock, after all, every grandfather should have a grandson. And my dear Mr. Angle, I cannot share your optimism. I tried to grow a stool into a bench once and no matter how much I watered it, it never got any bigger.

Betsy, I’ll be flying to Phoenix from Detroit to see my kids for Christmas, so I’m guessing we’ll get somewhere near Texas, maybe I can drop one out the window. Keep your eyes open for a small parachute. ;-)

parachute ?? cmon russel what kinda cheap joinery ya doin over there lol

Most kind mrtrim. I do believe that the joinery is sufficient. However, I thought that the parachute would simply make it easier to catch. LOL…

i love these…turned out great! did you learn more by doing several at once?

Thanks for the comments. Napaman, by doing more than one I was forced to pay attention to detail a bit more since the parts as originally cut were interchangable. Too often when I make single thing I find that I will adjust parts to accomodate miscalculations in other parts. Doing a batch makes that practice somewhat impractical. The batch process was a good exercise in discipline.

Excellent indeed.. love the pendulum .
I like the Grandson idea—great promotional idea. Some people would buy it just because of the name.

Very nice, Russel. I hope to make a full scale grandfather clock one day. I’m waiting til I feel like my skil level is up to it, so there is a real questions as to whether I will live long enough. :-)
