Thanks Jim! Ordered restoration glass from Bendheim glass & waiting for clockworks from David Lindow. Getting a lot of good help from forum members5C641021-C003-472C-8EF7-3756E96E8397.jpg
Very cool. My FIL was a master glass blower at Glashuette Lamberts in Germany where much of the glass Bendheim imports is made. That glass will look much better than modern glass in a period piece such as yours. Nice that you are going the extra mile with your choice of materials. Looking good.

Thanks John! I am waiting for the glass - I have never cut glass but it’s time to learn.
That will be an impressive clock.

Nice progress, now get back to work!
I agree back to work.
I have been wanting to build one of these for years.
