clock group

Well I've been gone to Atlanta 4 days a week for the last 8 weeks but I've still managed to get a lot done when I'm home and not mowing grass at 2 houses. Hopefully the one house is sold as of next Friday if all goes well. Takes an hour to drive over there and another hour to mow the yard. Eats up half a day.

I've had fun making these. they may end up as Christmas gifts for my new family. Had fun re learning how to turn really clean beads on platters. They are a pain to sand so I prefer to get them as clean as possible right off the tool. I've done one video that shows how I do the beads but I need to expand on it to show to cut them cleaner and safer. I'll try to do that shortly.

What a neat project for family gifts. You'll you mind telling us where you purchased the clock elements?

Thanks

Wow, they sure have a lot of options! Even atomic clock movements....

Based on your experience, can you recommend any particular movement?

John It's not what clock movement is good but for out purposes the threaded portion of the stem can be a problem. They list total stem length which I suppose is important if you put a glass front on your clocks. However we are installing the clocks through wood and it can't be too thin. Some of their movements have threaded portions that are only 1/4" long. Add the nut and rubber washer (I often don't use that) and your down to less than 3/16". The movements I just bought after talking to their rep is the 10151 on page 4 of their catalog. It has a threaded shaft of about 1/2" or more.

Thanks! Now you've got me wanting to make some clocks. I'm thinking turned basswood with chip carving.

They'd be great supporters of this site. I'll see if they're interested.

Thanks, John. Awesome work as usual.
