Show the clocks you’ve made

[Tony Wilkins]

I eventually would love to make a clock. Ron Brese had a lovely wall clock he showed in the cut nail thread. I’d love to see any that the rest of you talented guys have made.

I've made three clocks. The two pendulum clocks were wedding gifts.

All the works came from Klockit, but as I view their offerings now, the parts I purchased are no longer available.

[Mel Fulks]

Tony, I've never made a clock case. But I suggest looking at pics of 18th century clocks, many were painted with
decoration. And a ground color first, no wood grain showing. And it was not to save money.

[Tony Wilkins]

Very nice Mark and Lee!

[Phil Mueller]

I love clocks. This is all I have to show for the moment. It’s a small start.

Phil, I like the clock ,but think a 2 square step base would a better fit for that Deco type design.

[Bill Carey]

Made this about 3 years ago from an old bridge beam

[Jeff Body]

I make Light up garage signs. This one ended up being a clock also.

Bill, I like that one too. Is the pendulem rod metal or wood?

[Phil Mueller]

Good call, Mel. Definitely something I’ll do on the next one. Thank you!

[Bill Carey]

Thanks Mel. It's metal and came with the kit.

[Rob Luter]

This one is on my list to replicate. Probably this winter.

This is a pine version of the walnut clock I posted in the cut nail thread. Obviously shaker influenced. The finishing schedule on this one was fairly involved. Custom dial face, antique glass, and natural backboards.

Ron, nicely done. And the traditional dial always brings an equanimity to all our hours. I don't like modern "hanging numbers".
But on the Shaker thing....my understanding is they used self winding watches.

1840 Shaker Clock. Cherry. Mechanical movement. The cherry has aged well since the pic. was taken. My wife, Susan and I made 7 of these. We don't plan on making another one.

Scrap wood clocks. Very simple, and desperately needed for the kitchen and my office! I think it was like $12 for the pair of clock motors and arms.

Wow, thanks all for sharing. Great collection of clocks. I need to get busy.

Nice work! Love the walnut one too! What was the finish on the walnut?

[Ron Brese]

I believe I used a medium brown stain and garnet shellac for the top coat on the walnut clock.

Very nice clocks from all of you and thanks for sharing. No, I have not searched at all, but can anyone provide generally accepted preferred clock works vendors?

For the few clocks I've made I bought everything from Clockworks (https://www.clockworks.com/). They are very approachable and helpful.

[Michael Cuthriell]

One for each child and a few others for presents. First one maybe 15 years ago and last this past winter.

Thanks Bill. I need to look into this.

Oh lord... now I just found myself reading for an hour about mechanical clock works... :) I think I found a new rabbit hole.

LOL. I suffered the same fate Erich. Still have a box of parts I never used. Not enough to build with, just enough to remind me how little I know about clocks.
