Clocks made of wood

[Dave Lehnert]

Looking for clock ideas. Kinda thinking a mantel clock but open to any ideas. I have built many clocks from wall to Grandfather. Need something to inspire me.

[David DeCristoforo]

Inspiration?

My wife was flipping through one of my Klokit catelogs, and saw this one. She informed me that this would be the next piece I'd be working on. :rolleyes: ;) It won't be quite as big as this, but almost.

I'm going to build one like this. I'm a sucker for all things "Arts & Crafts"

Love the face on that A&C Roycroft clock (actually like the Nelso knock-off above too). Are you going to tool your own leather for the face? Looks like Darden lettering/numbering.

Here is a mantel clock I made from spalted crotch maple. Copper face was ordered from Schlabaugh & Sons.

The maker describes it as "a wrought copper dial with patinated silver numerals and nickle hands"..(sic)

I'll likely use copper as well, but have the numerals engraved into the base metal.

I've always been inspired to build a clock similar to these:

I like Arts and Craft also. Did you find a plan or going off a photo?

Thats a cool idea. Would be a great quick project.

You could make one of those quickly with some tinkertoys.:D

[Lee Schierer]

I've made two of these. They are made from red oak and stained. The works are from Klockit.

I was just going to use the photo as a starting point and develop my own plan.

[John Buzzurro]

Made this one last year using mahogany and a movement from Klockit. I used this Klockit kit (http://www.klockit.com/products/dept-37__sku-34318.html) as a model.

You might also want to look at Clayton Boyer's Clocks. I am currently building his Swoopy using Bloodwood for the hands, Marblewood for the wheels and Ziricote for the frame.

I would like to see the plan when you get it done;)

[Joe Unni]

Before I closed things down, I put out a line of clocks - sleek and kind of contemporary. I wanted something that would be easy to reproduce. You can check them out on my site.

Good luck,

Here's a wooden gear clock I've seen at shows, http://www.woodline.com/p-2045-deluxe-package-with-cherry-wood.aspx

I think plans are available.
