Hobbies, of Dereham, 1935 pattern

[hawkinob]

Hi,
Was sent a copy of a Hobbies clock pattern (Fairy Clock No. 2059 dated 6 Apl 1935), I guess part of the 'Art Deco' time(?).Not impressed with the design at first but it has grown on me, also I seem to enjoy these patterns from the past, especially this one as I was about nine months old when it was published. The instructions suggested 3/16 ply with a dark wood for the overlays (around the clock) but I'm not a fan of ply - perhaps because decent ply is hard to get here in Oz - so it is in pine, roofing timber offcuts that I joined for width and then thinned. Finished with Danish Oil. Clock of course is a quartz insert and not the windup which would have been original. It measures nine and a half ins. by eight and a half
It went well and I'm smitten especially as with my level of expertise it stands up as intended!!
Regards,
Bob H.

Hi Bob. I love the clock. I'm not a fan of the big elaborate clocks, but this is great. Its not too big either. You did a marvelous job. By the way I like your kitchen too......

Hi Bob,
The clock looks great, I am into this type of scroll sawing and I am busy making jewerly boxes as well as music. How high does the clock stand, I would like to make one for my grand daughter. Can you point me in the dirtection I where I can get a copy of the pattern.

Keep up the scroll sawing good to see others in the forum.

Kitchen is where you sit around the table with your fellow woodies, have coffee and talk about all things wood related.... :)
When it's time to actually eat you have to push all the magazines , books and plans aside or move them to some other flat surface.... ... then you have to also pic up the placemats, take them outside to shake the sawdust off.... because during all that talking you sat there sanding some pieces...... :)
