Has anyone ever tackled the Tower of Time Clock: It looks like an interesting journey on the saw.

Sure looks like a lot of fun,Is this your baby to get going on?

Not sure yet. Strikes me as an interesting project. I was wondering how long it might take to do it. Every time I look at the picture I'm more interested in doing it. It would certainly get jaws flapping when people saw it.

Always thought I'd like to try something similar, but have not clue where I would put it once completed.

This clock looks like a Wilckens design. 

Now that I think back, I am going to wake up the old time scrollers here, was this not the clock that Dan and Ray had scrollers from all over the world help build the first one. I remember going to scrollsaw picnics and seeing it in various stages of completion. If my memory serves me well. 

 

If this is the clock and people do remember the clock I am talking about were you one of the makers or contributers to it and if so how about a little story. Maybe some photos.

Come on people. There has to be some scrollers here that remember the clock I am talking about. Just do not remember if this was the clock or was it one of Dirk Boelman clocks. It was in one of the scroll magazines. 

 

I also know that Dan and Ray talked about this clock in the magazines also. Don't make me have to go into the attic to find them. It is hot up there.

 

OK after doing a little more digging all I could find is reference to the clock I am talking about and it was indeed a Dirk Boelman clock called The Great Fret Work Clock. I saw the mention of it in his obit.

You might call "The Art Factory" and ask about it.  I think Mrs Boelman is still involved it not running the business.

I was just trying to see if there was any old time scroller here that worked on the project.

The Tower of Time is a Wilckens pattern and is avail on their website. Cost is 125 USD for printed pattern (34 sheets of 22x34 paper). Having seen the real thing I'll Pass my house is to small for it.
