Looks good Carl, sort of has an african feel, but I would get a matching thermometer when one is available

Hi Carl,
That is way cool! I love it! Im not sure I would change the thermometer as I think it adds to the bizarrish nature of the piece, but you could try Carrolls."We must never become callous. When we experience the conflicts ever more deeply we are living in truth. The quiet conscience is an invention of the devil." - Albert Schweizer

i was planing on doing a baromiter and hydromiter at the top and a stick thermomiter at the bottom with the clock in the middl but this may make it to cluterd.

Sadly, I gotta agree with that Brickie fella.
Given the same materials, I reckon you could've arranged them in a more visually pleasing layout. Mebbe with the wood oriented so it "pointed" sideways instead of down, and arranged the dials in a dashboard manner, with the larger dial at the thick end.
As it is, the two gauges up the top make that end look rather cluttered (especially with the checking) and the whole thing... "unbalanced."
'Tis only my opinion of course.
