Turning on time

[Allan at Wallan]

Perhaps this could have been in the "Clocks" section
but it is in "Woodturning" for now.

Wood is "Box Elder" with perspex.

Comments welcomed.

Wow. I mean WOW!

Better show the clock folk. They've been kind to me in threads and don't seem to bite.

[Christos]

Almost creepy as the background blends in making the clock look like it is floating.

That is a very nice piece. I like it a lot. Well done

Great idea with beautiful timber :cool:

How is the perspex attached?

I saw this piece in the flesh today and it's truly a great piece of work.

[Allan at Wallan]

Thank you all for your kind comments.

Neil, I clamped a piece of 3mm perspex to a board and
drilled the hole for the clock with a Forstner bit.

I then cut the outer circle with the bandsaw and trued
it up on the sander.

Then I recessed the rear rim of the circle to accommodate
the perspex and glued it in with a few drops of Gorilla Glue.

Would love to say it was all my idea but I did see something
similar at this year's WWW Show and could not rest until
I tried something along the same lines.

Ray, you should know me better than that.:D My photography
is never Photoshopped.

Whether it's your concept or one you've adapted, I think it looks great.

And I love the wood the smears or red though it are wonderful.
