Wall Clock (loads of pics)

If gluing is a problem on future clocks I would knock up a former for inside and the outer edge screwed blocks.

It would have to be very precise else the joints would not be able to compress

In that case could you not design the former so it worked like the brake shoe in drum brakes? ie it has two halves that have an alterable diameter

45 degree mitres are bad enough but your 22.5's are superb.....well done martin!!!!

 

[Pete Robinson]

Sorry, your 15's are even better!!!!

Thanks Pete, it certainly tested my skills, I still found it difficult to get a decent finish though, thats one area where I need to improve, the hardest part to finish was the clock face :?

I am doing some variations of this clock using Black Walnut & Oak, I also want to do away with using the vinyl numerals as they tend to move and and cme adrift when transported, I'm not sure with what I have come up with so far and would welcome your help and comments, I want to keep it fairly simple and quick to manufacture.

Something different?

How about a numerical digital clock (no hands needed) then the face plate design can go anywhere!

Mind you your latest above looks nice.

Martin I do like this idea. Most people can tell the time with just a fleeting glance at a clock (I can't). So numerals are not really nescesary. You could use an alternative material for the numerals, such as mirror glass, ceramic, corian, brass, chrome, silver.
