Brickie from this post we gather that your reasons you said (2 pages ago) that you would tell him is because it looks like "one of them cartoon creatures". That is your reason. You have given no constructive thoughts but at last you answered your own post.
Did you ever think that the "Cartoon Creature" look might happen to make it individual, appealing and a positive if it came time to sell it.
I could use the same about yours, they look "conventional" or "Mass produced" which others might like but does not appeal to me. Carl has stated he wants to get matching faces, he already sees that as negative. Beauty is in the eye of the individual and while you dont like them i question that they look hideous???regards

I have something like that at home, has a block underneath to elevate it slightly, put one foot on the flat surface and the heel of your muddy gumboot in the 'V'.
Works for me but I worry about the clock.Stupidity kills. Absolute stupidity kills absolutely.

Sorry for the flippant remarks.
OK wiesy, the clock.
lacks balence theyre are a few basic rules of thumb in all design,
roughly speaking (oh its too hard to explain) but a few basics
it looks like its got a cataract in one eye.
the two smaller dials dont compliment the main face or eachother.
its too long for its width,
The knot draws the eye away from the clockface.
like picasso, you can break all the design rules but you have to understand what your breaking.
its about harmony and balence.

i got onto this late... thats ferking ugly man.. seriously... cut a slice of timber not quite squre and bore a hole in it to place some bought dials ? firewood.
sorry but I hate it.
Reminds me of some guys I heard about that swapped the same mars bar for christmas 5 yrs in row.. back and forth, back and forth...
if you must use dials and call it art why not a make a traditional piece and show some med rays to offset the bright gold garish dials ? whats wrong with a bit of joinery ?Zed
