Clocks Scroll Saw Challenge

[Travis]

We're setting our clocks forward on March 12th!  I'm really looking forward to enjoying a little more daylight in the evening (it's hard to grill in the dark!).  So this month, let's do a clock challenge!  I'm surprised we haven't had one already, so pay attention to the time and share your clock projects!

Oh buggers!  I don't do clocks.  Hmmmmm will have to think of something else.  How about St. Patrick's day?????

I have only made three, so far.  Well really I have made 4, I build a Grandfather clock that has been ticking in my living room for over 40 years, but it was a kit build, took no scrolling.

Here are two that I done a while back...

 

[RabidAlien]

Haven't made too many clocks, but I did just finish one I found in the Pattern Library.  One of these days I would love to make a grandfather clock, cutting the gears, escapement, etc.  Plans for those, that I can find, are pricey.

Well here is my feeble effort ! The clocks shown so far are just outstanding, wonderful work everyone.

I made this one a couple of years ago.  I bought the pattern and planned on making for my Mom for Mother's Day 2017.  I didn't get around to making it for her so I thought that I would make it for her for Mother's Day 2018... I lost her a couple of weeks before Mother's Day.  Shortly after she passed away I made it.  It now sits in my entertainment center. 

The base is Leopard wood and the top part is Walnut.

Here are a couple of Steve Good patterns.

Awesome Barry. I really like the design. I believe your mother is enjoying viewing it through the window in heaven.

All three are very beautiful Paul. The first two must be ‘His’ and ‘Hers’

I like to make clocks. Years ago I started making clocks as wedding presents for nieces and nephews.  Here are just a few.

Clocks theme huh? Since I have made over 250 clocks which ones do I choose? 

Desk clocks are my favorite so I only put in one wall clock.. I have more of those too.. Hope someone here likes cars since the desk clocks is a bunch of cars. LOL 

Gotta say it was hard to choose which ones to post up.. I tried to do some Fords ( not a Ford person myself ) and Chevy's and now I see I left out Dodge.. which is one of my favorites.. what the heck..  Also left out a bunch of the imports.. oh well can't post them all.. but if you have a request to see something I probably have it if it has wheels.. 

Then I left out the entire sports line like hunting, golfing, running etc.. 

Oops, I forgot all the dog breeds... I gotta post one of those.. some make them as puzzles.. I make them as clocks... so see last photo 

Did I mention I've made over 250 clocks?

I must admit, I have a fetish for clocks. Growing up on the farm my dad would buy me a new pocket watch when school was out for the summer. I have half dozen wrist watches and pocket watches. Every room in our house a at least 1 clock, some rooms 4. Don't have one in my shop. As a Air Force navigator next to the compass, a good clock was one of the most important pieces of navigation equipment. So, you see I wouldn't make it through the day without a good clock.

[Scrappile]

That is funny..  Every summer when school let out, my brothers and I got a pocket watch, better be home at dinner time and a straw hat.  We didn't really live in a farm well only had like two acres, but were out many miles from town and surprising how busy Dad could keep us on just two acres.

Being on the farm, if there was nothing to do, we had to pull or chop weeds. Once in a great while if there was nothing to do would ask dad if there was anything that needed to be done. If there was nothing, he would tell us to pick fly s**t out of pepper. At first, that was a hard job to do, till we found out that was his way of telling us we could have some fun.

I was going to suggest that @kmmcrafts Kevin just post a link to his Etsy page since he is  the King of the Clocks (and ornaments) 

i believe I have made one clock since I started scrolling. Clearly not competing with Kevin.  Was not even sure I had ever taken a picture of it, but looks like I did.  I made it for a friend's daughter who graduated from law school. It is a Dirk Boelman pattern. It can be found here:

Edited to Add: Oops - looks like I made two  I think I gave this one to my niece or nephew both who play the guitar.

Couple of my favorites. Both were my entries in a scrollers design contest.    The regulator included compound cut finials. Both received honorable mentions.
