blights69 Posted February 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) Practice is over .Which wood are you thinking about for the next one?Your more than ready ! Thank you for the kind comment. My next one I am going to try and make from old pallet wood or something someone has thrown in a skip ie table top cupboard etc,I am a great believer in re using stuff rather than dumping so I am looking for a few pieces I can sand down and make my next one from. Having said that it reminds me I must invest in a thicknesser/planer soon as at the moment I use a palm sander/detail sander and hand sand all my scraps. ps. yes i do still have some skin left on my fingers Edited February 4, 2017 by blights69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 I too like clocks. i am fascinated on your diving into the projects you have been taking on. You go guy... I am holding my breath to see what an old pallet board might become in your hands... love your little clock.. . not to be critical but only to give you my idea. for what it might be worth.. I think that if you would have made the backer boards of your clock a contrasting color, either lighter of darker, you fret work would stand out even more.. You did a wonderful job and I think it just would show it off even better...Thank for posting Dick heppnerguy blights69 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blights69 Posted February 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Nice job Frank, Thank you for sharing What size is the clock? Sam It stands around the 18" mark so not huge but also not too small either it has a 70mm clock face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
