    Cocobolo Pocket Watch

    This is a first for me. Not much to say. It's a pocket watch. I think I'll carry it in my pocket!

    Lovely John, I think it needs a fob and that fob should be attached to MY waistcoat....

    I have done so much with so little for so long I am now qualified to do anything with nothing......

    P.S. If you are interested in plans for any project that I post, just put some money in an envelope and mail it to me and I will keep it.

    That's cool, I love Cocobolo, but I'm afraid my turning cocobolo days are over, every time I turn it my face and neck starts itching and it seems to be getting worse. Maybe I'll get a bio-hazzard suit so I can keep turning it.

    Wow!

    Hi John,
    I REALLY love Cocobola! I like it even more when it is masterfully turned into a piece of "forever" jewelry! If I were you, I would NOT carry that "jem" in my pocket. I would get a gold chain and, for the FIRST time in my life, wear a necklace.

    NOW, John, is that REALLY a watch or is it an alarm clock to remind you to take those "meds" for your "pain" of a couple days ago? NAW! I'm sure that all the sympathy you got from your Forum "buddies" totally cured you of all ills!

    I certainly HOPE that it is NOT an alarm clock. Those things make NOISE! It seems to me that I remember a quote from some old mountain man who was once quoted as saying, "There is nothing wrong with quiet!". I can check out the source if you're interested!

    I am so busy REMAKING my projects that I don't have time to make them the FIRST time!

    So that's what you do with a pocket watch. I always thought they were a little big for a wrist. Hey... I'll bet we could call those wrist watches. Okay it's getting late, I'm tired, and it shows.

    That's a nice watch John.

    That's not just a pocket watch. That's the coolest pocket watch I've seen. Is there a kit available for the tick tock parts? That's really neat!

    Beautiful !

    I also like how you did the multiple thumbnail pictures box. I'd like to do that in the future and could use a little instruction. Thanks!

    Regards,

    Awesome John. That is some great work. You outdid yourself on that one.

    Now that is a nice job John. I have thought about making me one of those, in fact I find myself thinking about making a lot of things that never get done.

    John, do these just use a little 1 3/8 inch clock fit up from the clock suppliers?

    Nice first step, John.

    Now to compete the ensemble you'll need:

    Some old granny glasses.
    Gain 100 pounds.
    Lose 75% of your hair
    Get smarter - or at least look smarter.
    And a vest with that special pocket.
