Well I finally managed to finish it. It's made all from birch ply, the frone panel is slightly stained with a home made wire wool/vinegar stain, and the base with a dark mahogony stain. Then it's all been given 2 coate of spray varnish. Hope you like it.

Some very nice detailed work there. Awesome job making it. Thanks for sharing.

Wow - that's a lot of fretting. I think I'd box it in plexiglass in case some kid knocked into it.
Excellent work as always.

Whoooie! I bet that made you dizzy a few times! That looks really nice. May I ask the dimensions? I have trouble doing fretwork on large pieces (probably too fat, lol). If it is as large as it looks, did you sit or stand while cutting it? And do you have any particular tips for cutting large fretwork pieces?
Really nice clock. Congratulations.
-
Great piece of work and not something I would fancy tackling.

Really nice clock. Congratulations.
Becky, the clock is 12" diameter and stands 15" tall. I have to sit while cutting anything on the scrollsaw as my leg won't let me stand too long. This particular clock I worked from the centre out cutting a ring at a time then cut the outer shape. There was a lot of sanding involved as It was the first time I have used spirals for a complete project (spirals leave a lot of fuzzies) . Hope this helped.

Spirals, eh? Well done.
-
Thanks, Keefie. The info is helpful. I bet the spirals helped - at least until sanding time. I suspect I would run into more and more trouble as I approached the edge using my flat blades. I keep meaning to work with my spirals but I find that I want to make projects more than just do practice. Intellectually, I realize that learning to use the spiral blades would benefit me in the long run but I have trouble with the self discipline to just make myself do it. If I did, I could use flat blades in the center of a project like that and then switch to spirals as I neared the edge. It would at least eliminate some of the fuzzy problem.
Thanks for the info and, again, that is a sweet looking clock!
