Popular Post munzieb Posted August 23, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 (edited) My wife said we need a mantel clock and found one on Pedro's Web site finescrollsaw.com. Contacted him and he send me a PDF file after I purchased. It all went very smoothly. Took it to my local UPS store and were able to print it on card stock using A6 paper format dimensions. 12" x 17" I wanted to do it in Bubinga but my wife wanted a lighter color, so I went with oak. I used 3.5 pieces of 5.5 x 48" 1/4" oak. I did modify the top from the original pattern so that the top was narrower than the piece below it. I also added a 1/8" shim between to bottom and next piece up. I also rounded the extention pieces on the base plate. Finish in Gloss Lacquer.

Scrappile Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 Beautiful clock, Bernd. You say you have your patterns printed on card stock, Why do you prefer that over regular paper? munzieb and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munzieb Posted August 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 Thanks, the fret work is not overly complicated. It's better to do all the inside cuts and then cut the outsides so you are working with larger pieces so they are easier to hold. It's more complicated to layout all the pieces on the wood to get the maximum usage out of the wood with minimum waste. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For smaller projects I'll use regular paper but for larger projects that I take to the copy store, I'll use card stock. I'll have them print up 3 sets incase I want to make more or if I screw things up. Their machines print better on it and it's not as floppy as regular paper. I use mostly skip tooth blades and it also tends to force the dust down. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill WIlson Posted August 24, 2022 Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 Very nicely done. Pedro has some great fretwork patterns. If I recall correctly, a while back someone posted a question about Pedro, as they had tried to contact him and had gotten no reply. Glad to see he's still in business.

How many of them are you allowed to make from that one pattern? Just curious after reading the "copyright" thread.

john nelson Posted August 26, 2022 Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 very nice......It is great to see more advanced scroll saw projects. Seems folks today are afraid to try ore advanced projects.....If you can cut out a teddy bear you can cut out anything, regardless how difficult it is...................just takes more cuts.

JAN Thank you John. This was not really that hard. The lower fret work were 3 individual pieces and the top were 2 pieces. The section holding the clock face is one piece but it is easier to hold when it's larger. All the pieces are key and slot assembly. There are a lot of pieces to cut but most are straight cuts. It does take a little to figure out how it all goes together since there is no exploded view for the assembly. I spend about 4 days, a few hours each day to complete it with finishing. Because I modified the original on the top and tonges, It did take a little longer. It cost me about $50 for material and finish.
