Some of the Christmas presents that are going out in the mail tomorrow.
Sure is nice 'sitting at the saw' instead of charging around a mall all day!
Thank You, Lord for opening up this wonderful hobby to me!

Very nice job on all those. I like the watch clock...those are always really neat.
-
I think I am going to 'enlarge' that "Watch" pattern next time and use a 2" clock!

Hey GB,
While you are at it (making a larger wristwatch) go ahead and hinge the bands and buckle too...... I did.

The smaller one at the bottom (orginal size) is also hinged but, gold one at the top is a real watch, I didn't make that one. ;D ;D

Patterns please!?!?!?!?

Rog you got a very good Job, i like the watches.
-
Nice idea there Rog. Good job, Thanks for sharing. :)

To be honest GB, I don't have a pattern for the larger one.
I don't mind sharing at all with anyone and everyone. I just don't always use patterns, I do alot of free hand work and steal ideas from others. ;D
I used Steves orignal pattern and cut the indivdual parts (bezel, buckle, tang, and both pieces of the band) and drilled holes for dowell to hinge them for the smaller one. Later, I redrew the parts larger to make one to fit the bigger clock as I recall. I'll look around and see if I still have the sketches that I can send you copys of if you really need them. (it has been 3 years since I cut them)
In the mean time, I will post close-up pictures if the watch to give you an idea of how it was done if anyone wants me to.
I only made two of them. A friends teasing was the reason for the hinges in the first place and then my daughter got into the act, and wanted a 'big' one for the wall. Funny thing is, my daughter now wants an even bigger one!! ;D I may have to give that a try next. ;D

Rog...I have enough to do right now so anytime you want to look for your sketches is fine. I will play around with it after the holidays! Now that I have your comments i think I can work it out.
For your daughter...Get a piece of 2 X 12 RedWood and go to town! <bg>
Merry Christmas!

Nice stuff GB. You will make several people happy. I so much prefer to give something I made than a "storebought" gift!
