G'day Carl,
It stands :wink: hhhmmmm should have taken a photo of the back :( Flat spot in first photo is the base. I was a bit concerned about the "balance". not too much timber, not too much clock. ah well ... I think I'm close ... maybe too much timber .....
Measurement is about 2 mobile phones thick and about 1 1/2 diameter

G'Day dhurrang,
Nice simplistic design, :2tsup:

Hi Dhurrang,
Good job there... I guess it won't be long before you get the clock making bug! They cetainly make good gifts...
I think I am inclined to agree with Ravlord...It may be just the angle of the photo but could be a bit too much wood... but that is just personal taste.
Keep on clocking,
Chipman:)
