Chimes of Normandy Clock

[ricklab]

Has anyone tried the Chimes of Normandy pattern from cherry tree?

i havent tackled that one, but have done the dome clock and workshop clock. in my opinion, the patterns are very good and explanatory, although i changed them up a bit.

that would be a great one to see a "works in progress" thread on!

Wow that would be a very impressive project to see a "Works in progress thread".  Here's a picture of the pattern completed for anyone that was curious

not done it.  Where does one put something that big when complete??  And how do you dust it?  I would love to a project like that but I always think of those two questions.

This is the first scroll saw project I did on my first saw, a $69 Menards model.  York Minster Cathedral from Cherry Tree.  Very happy with the plans.  We gave the finished project to one of our sons for a House Warming gift.  Re;

How do you display it?  I built a pedestal for it to sit on, creating a Grandfather Clock.
He dusts it with a feather duster & that is not an issue for him.

In retrospect, I should have left the clock out of it & designed something else for that space.  Tried (& failed) with clocks from 2 different well known companies.  Our son likes to show it off, but doesn't even bother with the clock part of it.

Jerry that goes to show you don’t have to have a $2000 saw an years experience to make a great project!  Take your time & one hole at a time.
