Dirk Boelman Patterns

[Rockytime]

I am building a Dirk Boelman clock, The Williamette. I think I bought the plans from the Winfield Collection. I'm looking for more of Dirk's plans. I've gone back to the Winfield Collection site and cannot find any Fretwork clock patterns. I must be having a senior moment as I thought that is where I purchased the pattern but it has been a while since I ordered it. Does anyone know where his patterns can be purchased since his website is no longer up?

I think his patterns are at https://theartfactory.com/

I love Dirks patterns! It was a sad day when he passed.

Unfortunately the artfactory.com does not work.

Weird. On my computer it informed me the sight could not be reached. I tried twice. It just came up fine on my cell phone. Thanks!

My link works just fine also.  Give this a try. It's the link to the clock page  and more of Dirk's plans.

did you have a space between "the" and "artfactory.com"  ?

When I tried the artfactory I had googled fretwork clock patterns. The artfactory came up in a list. I clicked on it and it said the site could not be reached. Kinda weird as I have done that many times without a problem. Typing the .com address worked. Thank you for the replies!

Glad you got it worked out. The nice thing about going directly to the Boelmans’ own website https://theartfactory.com there is no middleman taking a cut so his family gets the full proceeds from the purchase. I have gotten several things from Karen there in the past, and she has always been prompt and helpful. 

Note that Karen has told me before that not all of Dirk’s patterns are listed on the website but that if there is one not there you are looking for, she can usually provide it with a few details of what you are looking for. 

As pointed out, you have to have the word “the” in the website name, no spaces.

I also talked with Karen about the slide through Christmas ornaments.  I couldn't find them on the website nd she found them for me.

I have once more tried contacting the art factory. I have tried the afore mentioned addresses. I just get an error 520. Anyone able to help me?

Les, I just typed theartfactory (I’m using an IPad) in search and it came right up. Perhaps your anti virus is blocking it.

Perhaps. I'm using Opera but switched to Firefox and received error 520 on both. Thanks for checking.

I find the site just fine with my cell phone but not with my computer. 

Go figure.
