Grandfather and Grandmother Clocks

I drew up plans for a wooden pendulum clock but I can no longer see good so after trying to cut out the gears I gave up with my scroll saw. Tough job and with bad eyes it was impossible for me. However, a lady friend of mine gave me an idea to use large hard beads for the teeth instead of cutting them out. I have to redraw the whole darn clock now to see if it will work. You guys keep me inspired sincerely. All the best and God Bless All.

Tom, Beautiful clocks! I especially like the Grandmother clock.

Nice looking clocks. Thanks for sharing.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

Someday I’ll get around to trying one of these. Until then I’ll enjoy looking at yours. Thanks.

Nice Clocks Tom!

Beautiful clocks, Tom. This is a project on my to-do list for sure. I particularly like the one you designed yourself.

Excellent work on those clocks Tom. Definite heirlooms, very cool!

Aww,Tom! You’re embarrassing me. The clock I am building is basically the dimensions of a Lonnie Bird clock printed in Fine Woodworking. I have modified it extensively to made it look like an old English clock I have a picture of. I’m trying to finish it enough to show it at a crafts show in a couple of months.

Those clocks of yours are very beautiful, Tom. You don’t have to take a back seat to any one.

God Bless,

-- God makes the wood beautiful--I simply rearrange it to make it more useful, hopefully.

Very Nice Tom, I especially like your design of the Maple clock. When you buy the workings do they provide you with the swing arch length for the Pendulum? I’ve often wonders how I would determine the cabinet width needed for it.

Hi Roz

When you buy the clock works it will tell you what width case it will fit. Thanks for asking!

God Bless
