I built this clock from a pattern I got through an online pattern company. The box and frame is all pine. I don’t have a chime clockwork on it just a regular pendulum one. Very quick build. I spent a total of about three hours on it not counting drying time for glue and finish.
The finish is minwax early american with two coats of tung oil over that. It’s light weight enough to be hung with the same hardware I use to hang pictures.
This was a fun build. First clock I’ve ever made.
-- Happy Ripping!!!

Nice clock. I’ve found that making clocks can be an addictive activity.

Great looking clock. What a coindience – I have a pattern for the same school clock that I’m building for my son – WITH my son. Hope ours comes out as nice as your clock did.
