This clock was made by my grandfather, who was the inspiration that got me into woodworking. It is a 5 story building (7 layers altogether) with a clock in the tower. The front doors are hinged and can be opened and closed. He plans to put small lights (possibly clear christmas tree lights) throughout it so the building can be lit from within. The last picture shows my daughter, who will be 3 next month, standing beneath it as a size reference.
This clock normally sits in his living room for all to see when they visit him. Currently these pictures taken of it in his bedroom on his dresser, as he has his Christmas village on display in the living room.

Well to be honest I think this clock is complete. I dont think the lights will come to pass.

Greetings from the socialist capital of America – California.
There is more than one reason they call it the ’left coast’?
My only suggestion is to call your insurance agent and insure it for a bunch.

jeffswildwood, I have to agree. Ironically enough, the pattern/plans for this clock say right on them that if you are able to complete the project, you can consider yourself a master scroller.
I can only hope to be as good as my grandfather someday.

Any Idea how long it took you’re Grandfather to make it? Certainly his dedication to the achieving the end results was as remarkable as his talents.

”Any Idea how long it took you’re Grandfather to make it?”
To be honest I have no idea. I asked him when I took the pictures yesterday, but didn’t really get an answer. Unfortunately my grandfather’s memory has become very finicky at best, and we don’t like to push him (for lack of a better way to put it) as he can sometimes get frustrated quickly.
