munzieb Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 (edited) More clocks again. Wife handed me this picture, make this! OK so I made 2, There is more table saw work than scroll saw. Only did the clock cut out of 3/4 popular with the scroll saw. Getting the pattern of the trim molding to line up and cutting the 45 degree cuts was more complicated. Determined the size of the box by the layout of the trim. Couldn't understand why the tops of the trim stood away from the box. Found out that for some reason they don't make the base at true 90 degree?? Had to put the pieces on the belt sander to make everything square and that pulled the tops back in. Needless to say, she made me work so she had to contribute to the project. More of her great painting.

heppnerguy Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 I wish I had the ability to paint like your wife has. Those clocks grab your attention and make one want to take a closer look at them. Good work figuring out the pattern problem and the fix. they look great Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
