Thank you a1Jim. I appreciate the view and comment.

Just beautiful and well proportioned. What clock movement and face did you use?

The movement and face came from a company out of Wisconsin called Klockit. I included a link below’ the dial I chose was “L”. The dimensions may seem small but it works great with the proportions of the clock.
The movement was a tough decision; do I 1) Go with a weight driven mechanical ($$$), or 2) battery operated??? Well price won out and I went with the battery operated version. The mechanical movement would have been approximately $115 for the cheapest. I decided that was too much to spend, and when I gave it to my grandfather he agreed that he preferred the battery operated.

The hands came with the movement, and I chose a basic hand in black.

Oh I forgot, all the brass hardware was from Brusso. Their hinges are TOP quality and heavy duty. The bottom door hinges are very small: ~5/8” tall, however, they are very strong for their size. The knife hinge probably was the wrong type of hinge to use on the top, but it turned out well. It allows the door to open without detracting from the overall look.

You may say: ”$28 for a pair of hinges!!!” but I will tell you, they are worth every penny!! Appearance, F&F, movement are all GREAT!

Great story to go along with this beautiful clock…everything looks perfect , right down to the hardware !
Congrats on the recent marriage and how nice of you to have your Grandfather be your best man : )
Best wishes !!

-- When did quiet and quite become the same word ? I'm guessing about the same time as your and you're did.

That’s a really great looking project and a super story. Your grandfather must be busting with pride every time he looks at the clock. I’m planning on making a few versions of this same clock for Chrismass gifts this year and hope I can do as well as you.
Proud to be on Lumberjocks with you!

Thanks Tom. You’re comments are greatly appreciated. Best of luck with your builds this fall for Christmas gifts.
