Ben12 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Started working on this (on and off) about a month ago, making some progress. It's going to be a gift for a special friend. This is a Dirk Boelman design from the Art Factory. The first image is the one from The Art Factory website. All the others are mine.

Ben12 Posted November 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) Thanks everyone for the kind words. I have finished the clock. In case you wanted to know. I used 5 different woods. Walnut, maple, oak, aspen and bloodwood. The chimney is bloodwood. I had a piece left over from an Intarsia project and decided to use it for the chimney. I also carved the grout lines for the bricks. This was an option in the plans. The 3 pics I added are the finished clock, the chimney and the elves inside the workshop swinging on the pendulum. This clock was a lot of fun to build. It will be leaving here shortly as it is a gift for a dear friend who is very ill and only has about 6 months to live. I hope this clock will bring a smile to his face. He is a fellow woodworker and fishing buddy. I will miss him terribly. My finished clock below. http://www.flickr.co...N02/8206087786/ Ben Edited November 24, 2012 by Travis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
