WD - if you are interested in a craftsman style clock - 1.8m high with frame and panel construction, I could send you some plans. Not the full plans - I don't have these, rather a set of exploded dimensioned diagrams plus the full 'how-to' 12 page article.

Best to PM if you are interested.

G'day

have you got your clock sorted? If not have a look at this crowd in Canada. I have imported a bit of their stuff over the years. The really nice thing is they can provide plans, movements, dials etc to fit. They also can supply hard to make bits. Here is my Gpappy clock from their plans (and I used some of their hard to make bits too, like the pediment and fluted columns...

Of course it is a bit costly to import movements - CMI, previously mentioned has those.
