finally one clock done

[amazingkevin]

I finally  got a round toit and was having a bad day so my lingering project got my time to take my mind off of things..This clock is 10"x 8 " aromatic cedar and maybe mahogany?I downloaded the Hebrew face and scaled it up or down to fit a el cheapo clock from the thrift store,I didn't want to clear coat as from my  last experience was not good,but did it anyway lolTwo coats full of tiny bubbles.i forgot to heat gun the bubbles out.Wood is 1" thick and the stand 1.5 " thick I band sawed the base as it would not fit in the scroll saw.I then belt sanded it and broke a belt. I used Rolys trick with a flip flop on the belt to clean it .boy does that work good ...thank you ROLY.I'll make a flutter wheel now that i have cloth sand paper to use for sanding delicate fret work/A scroll reverse #12 blade was used to cut the star of david. The bigger of te two clocks is finally assembled and is 20" tall with hebrew numbers a star of david design Will try to clear coat that one soon .Im just happy to get it all finalized and hopefully out the door .not much room in here.

You know how many times i check that? Too many ,Marge,lol.I've done lots of clocks and the time spent on them will never be caught up in the pay for them.Way to many hours of detailed this and that.And a  $10.00 clock and just change the face of it is way over three hours to get it right as an example.To many modifications to get it all back together again.Things have to be very thin for everything to go back together.Doing the face in mica in the shape of a saw blade will work for one.Sometimes you have to get a clock mechanism that has more of a shaft protruding to go with 1/8 thin wood to work.Always something you didn't count on.

[LarryEA]

Yes it is very nice looking clocks. Kevin, that is beautiful wood and the finish glows on that first picture

[amazingkevin]

Larry, i did three coat of the can of stuff in the picture and still you see it' not like it should be ,drys to fast .Maybe cause its an old used can 1/2 full.I like to see it look its best but there's a limit as to how much you have to play with something.The finish laps ,If a spot is light it shows even though you brushed it.I'll bet the cans lost its umph!My friend just gave me a can of satin rater than gloss .i'll try that tomorrow as my car battery died tonight 2nd. battery in two years and both new

[amazingkevin]

That is now 5 coats of clear and it does not look like it's supposed to .Still drying to fast and i had a new can given to me.

Quite a project Kevin, Thank you for showing,

Bob

Thanks BOB,so far i've put 5 thick coats to hide anything i can but it looks like it wants 6 coats of clear ,wow.I had it sold for 50 bucks but they complained about the tiny bubbles that felt like sand .Thats all gone now !
