The Bell Tower Clock

That is just one AWESOME clock and scroll cut. I am totally impressed

-- Just learning the craft my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ practiced.

Is that your house? Seems like it would be drafty, but at least you’d never forget the time!

By the way…. that is a CRAP LOAD of 2-liters under the table in your garage!

Fabulous work my friend. Your clocks will be heirloom pieces for sure.

Looking good William

Another ”William Masterpiece”, that words fail to do justice….

BRAVO!!!

BTW: Everyone hates the “finishing” of a project, but you continue to say it’s a “creative” decision, you and we may believe it someday!!! ;)

-- Randy-- I may not be good...but I am slow!

Very nice my friend…...that is an incredible amount of work…....looks great…..I did also look at the last photo and my first impression was….WOW look at that detail!

-- Jeff - I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

Thank you all so much.

Stumps, it’s my shop, so yes, you may as well say it’s my house. The home next to the shop actually belongs to the wife. I just sleep there. The bottles are my water supply. I have no running water at the shop and do not wish to run home everytime I make a pot of coffee.

Hawaiilad, thanks, but it’s really not that special. Anyone can make one. It just takes cutting one hole at a time.

Jim, same as I told Hawaiilad, it isn’t that hard. I appreciate the compliment anyway though.

L2L, I don’t know about heirloom quality, but I do hope someone cares to hang on to them for a while once I’m gone.

Jerrels, thank you. I’ve seen your work. If I can impress you I must be doing it correctly.

Holy moly. That is fantastic!

Thanks CHIPS. If you’re still on, please send me a PM letting me know how long I have to get by your place so I can try to plan a trip. It has been crazy around here latey. When you called though, I think you and I both are going deaf when it comes to phones.

Randy, some things are near impossible to finish. As for everyone hating it, I wouldn’t say I love finishing, but I’m coming around to it more and more every time.
One day I’m going to have the dough for one of those fancy spray systems that’ll finish items such as this without problems.

Jeff, there is a lot of detail on that bottom panel. That’s the point though. With all that detail, I didn’t even cut some of it, like the facial details. I think they made the patter a little too “busy”. Detail is great, when it isn’t too tiny to cut. Even with a #2/0 blade, to cut the facial features would have made the kerf remove the entire face off of each angel.
