Denny Knappen Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Each year I donate a project to the local hospital's golf tournament. I saw this on Steve Good's site and said this is the one. I don't like making mini clocks because of the batteries. This one is 2 3/4" and uses AAA batteries. The upright is 3/4" Hard Maple and the base is 1/2" Poplar. I used FD UR #3 and #5 blades. The finish is two coats of spray Shellac. Comments welcome. Iguanadon, Gonzo, smitty0312 and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edward Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 You did a great job on the mini clock, I personally like doing them but I like the smaller inserts better, as the larger ones are too expensive for me. edward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The replacement cost as much as the clock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meflick Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Very nice job Denny and I agree, looks great with that larger clock. I am sure it will be a hit with the hospital charity tournament for sure. I remember seeing that when Steve posted it and thought my golfing brother in law would like it. Will have to keep it in mind for his birthday or Christmas perhaps. Always love to see something cut to see it "live". Thanks for sharing.

Jim McDonald Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 I have that pattern to cut for a charity outing here I'm involved with, but it is not until next June--so I have time. Thanks for showing what it looks like done. Hope I do it justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edward Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 For replacement batteries for smaller clocks, I buy mine at the dollar stores comes in packages in different sizes for $100. An can be used for watches also, and Harbor Freight also has them. edward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
