Popular Post heppnerguy Posted March 10, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 This is a clock like I made for my wife about 4 years ago and my grandson's fiancé told me that since they have been living in their own houses for a few years and have everything they need, they are not asking for wedding gifts, However, she did mention to my grandson that she would like one of Grandpa's clocks. ( This is the one she was talking about ) so I made them one. I have been working on it for about a month, due to all the company we have had and finally finished it yesterday, as everyone has left for about 10 days. I have two bells coming for the bell tower and then I will be completely finished. It has several coats of finish on it and in May we will be taking it to Oregon for the wedding. This is the most challenging piece I have ever made, along with the Eiffel Tower I made a few months back.

Remember, " it is only one hole at a time' Dick heppnerguy Thank you Dick for the kind words. However, I don't know about every surpassing anyone and doing this type of fretwork. While it may be just one hole at a time, it's all those holes that have to be drilled and then cut, then the blade moved, then cut, then the blade moved that my patience will not handle in those large fretwork patterns like this one! I will just admire yours! heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
