My First Clock

“okay”.. yah it’s “okay”
ha!!
This is magnificent. I love how the marked wood copies the line of the pendulum. as well as the squiggles (that’s a technical term) on the face of the clock.

another beautiful “first”

For a guy who didn’t think he knew what he was doing.
It looks like he knew something about it.
Very Nice !!

Great clock. Where did you get that clock face? Your miters look incredibly clean. Nice job!

Beautiful Charlie. I agree with Thomas that your miter work looks terrific.

Thanks to all. Thomas, the face came from Lee Valley. It is 9 7/8 square and cost 20 bucks including the hands. The movement with pendulum were another $10. – Pretty reasonable, I thought.

Wow, that was your first clock? Impressive. I wonder what the future ones will look like.

Great clock Charlie. the back set it off also.

Charlie – if you didn’t tell anyone that you built this without a plan, they wouldn’t have known – unless they asked you where they could get the plan. I assume that you used a quartz movement. Did the movement include chimes?

Excellent work. Love the wood behind the pendulum!

Thanks, OS. I posted pics on a woodworking newsgroup and got mixed reviews on the spalted maple back. Seems like people either love it, or don’t like it at all. I love it, but my wife looked at the clock for the first time and said “Wow, that’s amazing…. but I don’t like that funky looking wood in the back.” LOL!

This cannot be the first clock you made…Looks like a pro is what done it. Good wood!
