Dad's Retirement Gift

Let’s just hope he’s not following your posts. Anyways, this is a very nice retirement gift for your dad. I wonder what made you think of a clock as a gift for him? Is there a message behind it that you want to relay?

-- "someone has to be wounded for others to be saved, someone has to sacrifice for others to feel happiness, someone has to die so others could live"

Beautiful Clock…. Nothing beats something made from the heart…..

-- What we do in life will Echo through Eternity........

That is an excellent clock, I’m sure he will be pleased with the gift and surprised at the announcement.

-- Every cloud has a silver lining

Very very nice. I’m sure he’ll like it immensely.

I do hope that you signed it in some fashion. My wife and kids gave me an electric branding iron with the year accessory. When I make a gift or a commissioned piece it gets branded with my name as well as the year. When I make something just to sell, it gets my name only.

p.s.

Your John Deere bed is AWESOME!!!!

Always a good feeling to build something for the people you care about.

I’m jealous! I didn’t get something heartfelt like this when I retired.
I know your dad will enjoy it – it’s beautiful.

-- "They don't want it perfect - they want it SPECIAL"

I love the rugged simplicity of it. It’s beautiful.

Very nice. Not only is it a great retirement gift, but the fact that his son crafted it for him is the wonderful part.
