Clock project

I just finished up this week's project.

A few years ago we had some sort of clock that broke. Not the clock itself, just what is was in. I can't even remember exactly what it was. At any rate, I saved the clock itself with the thought that someday I might make something for it.

Here's the design I came up with. I used maple and walnut and the clock is suspended from dowels. It was really a pleasure working on this after fussing so much over the Kindle case. As it turned out, this was incredibly simple to make.

Video on Friday.

  6. Hi Steve

    What's your trick to get your spline to the right thickness ?
    My thicknesser doesn't allow to go under 1/4", and I don't have a thickness sander...

    You can always double-stick-tape your spline-material to another board, so that the total thickness exceeds 1/4".
    After that, you can set your thicknesser to the width of the secondary board + the thickness you want your spline to be.

    Also: use a handheld powersander! ;-)
