Hi Paul

I think it looks nice :?

Just off to buy a Magnifying glass :lol:

PS ( its a bit small )

One or two challenges in work holding and dimension control in that piece.

 

[stevebuk]

wow, love it paul, think you should be well pleased with that effort.

That looks very classic in design and well made. It really works with the skeleton clock. A lot of thought obviously went into it

i agree with the rest paul, its stunning. infact i was at turners-retreat yesterday and they have one on show just the same. well done, whoever gets that will/should be very chuffed.

paul, the way i post pics on the forum as follows.

get signed up to photobucket, then upload your photo. once its in your gallery, point the mouse over the pic you want to upload, you will see a drop down listrun your mouse cursor slowly down the list untill you get to the last one ( img ) left click it and it changes to blue ( highlighted ) right click and you want copy. then go to your post and do your writeup. start a new line but dont write, just right click and then click paste. then all you after do then is submit your post, like this. this was resized to med.

Great looking clock Paul
Is the main frame done in seperate pieces or have you cut it away to get the two different sized diameters :?:

 

[paul-c]

thanks for all your comments everyone
hi Paul
the main frame is 2 pieces
one the clock sits in
the other -the surround is a ring cut in half and it is connected to the clock ring by 3 dowels to fix its position
hope these photos help explain better than i can :?
cheers paul
