Using Grampa's pattern as a base, I sat down tonight and cut this out of some plywood.  I say base as I had to modify the wheels a bit since I can't seem to not mess up the pattern around the smaller areas when I drill my holes.  Threw some shellac over it and will get the clock parts after I return from a work trip to Chicago.

Nice work Scott! In the scroll saw world, it’s is acceptable to drill round holes instead of cutting them. I do it all the time.

Thank you for the compliments.   I drilled them with just holes first but they were definitely not in any resemblance of a line.    So I just made them look closer to what the wheels on my two bikes look like.   But even with that, I kept touching the pattern with the chuck of my hand drill so it would mess up the marks.  I need to pay more attention to how far in I go with the bit
