This was a very hard and challenging project. I bought the Clock parts from clock it and then used them as a template for what I wanted the clock to look like. I kinda drew the clock out on a huge 1o ft long paper and went to work. Most of the ideas came to me as I was building or they just happened. Like the crown and the top part of the clock. I turned all the turnings on this clockwith a router lathe machine. The only thing I did not do on this clock was install the glass. It is made out of cherry wood and is stained with clear laquer. It took me about 5 months to build the entire clock. The drawer on the bottom opens up for a small storage area. I made one section at a time so that it can come apart into 3 sections for easy moving. It took me a month to make the turnings and about a month the sand the entire clock with 100gr, 150gr and 180gr. I enjoyed making this clock and had a little help from a very good woodworking friend of mine who provided his guidance for me along the way. I learned so much making this and I am VERY PROUD of it. Anyone that sees it asks if I am taking orders and I tell them NO! I built it for my wife and I will never build another one again!

Very beautiful work for sure, definatly something you and your wife should be proud of. Very nice job with the turnings and finish. I have a stack of cherry that I milled and is set aside for a clock project like this, I just gotta find the money for the clock components. I hope mine comes out half as nice as yours!

Remarkable Daniel, You must be very proud. Hey I love the size of your shop. Do you ever take in guest woodworkers. Man wood I would love to have that kind of space to work in. This is great project and a very difficult undertaking. Stay well bro and keep on keeping on.

Nice, your wife must be proud. And its going to be a uniqe piece, the only one you’ll ever build. LOL I’m guessing it releases your thinking about where you are going next.
Well done!

There is 3 things I’d like to mention…1) Incredible, beautiful workmanship—brilliant clock 2) I wish I had that kind of space to work in…during the winter months i’m confined to an under the stairs closet because I don’t want to put on layers of clothes and work in the tin shed and 3) I couldn’t pick a better number to support! I know he had a couple trophies from Richmond (I think that’s where they get the grandfather clock as a trophy), but none compare to what you have created.
