Renderings from a Saturday afternoon

[gsdoby]

I decided I needed to spend some time making something to keep up with all of you. I made these this afternoon. The picture is a little fuzzy for some reason. I turned these watch cases out of walnut.

Those are very sharp! What type of finish did you use?

Gary, those pocket watches turned out very nice.:icon_thum What size clock insert do you use for those? Are there kits available that include the chain and hardware?

Gary, those are some really sharp watches! I have been thinking about trying one of those. Guess how I have to try one out and see what I can do with it! Great job on them!! :eusa_clap

I have gotten the kits from Penn State and Klockit.com. They are 1- 7/16" inserts. I like the kits from klcokit a little better. They have a threaded coupler that is a little smaller. IF you have never been to Klockit before I would recommend them for a variety of clock making supplies and other inserts(weather,picture frame, etc.

Oh before I forget I used the hut friction polish. I may get bold enought to try a CA finish sometime.
