Did anybody else notice that one is in a different time zone?

I guess that is normal at Fred's place. :rolf:

you may be right about that! But ac choo a lee one is going to texas and one to atlanta so i set the time so i know whom gets what.:drunken_s



Nice choice of woods and very fine craftsmanship!

thanks they only took a couple of hours for the both of em and i did not do them at the same time. the second one was an afterthought. after i re setup for the next step of coarse!:rolf: is there any other way?

I'm going to take that as a compliment . . . worse things have been said about me. 8-O

The clockworks choice fits the design better than mine :eusa_shhh
And the clock size proportion showcases the wood well. :icon_thum

All in all, it's a simple, but fun project with lots of options for "freestyling". It would be great to see what other folks would do (hint, hint). :mrgreen:

the clock works were realy nice! i picked em up at the rockler sale in greensboro for 70% off. i like them better than others that i have used. they use a standard watch battery so maybe they will keep good time.

Those look great Fred. Nice choice of wood colors. What's the center wood...it looks "padauk colored" but I haven't used any padauk with that grain. Very nice. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Nice looking clocks. Wood choices compliment each other very nicely. Thief or accomplice doesn't matter, you're guilty of good work!!!
