Hi Guys

As a woodworking hobbyist and a full-time webmaster I was more than happy to find this site full of people making their own clocks. I would like to extend an invitation to everyone here who has built or is building their own wooden clocks to upload their projects onto my web site Antique Collectable Clock (http://www.antique-collectable-clock.com/index.html)

You can have your very own space on the web, no charges or fees of course and they will stay up for as long as you want them there.

Why? - I just love clocks and old watches, especially home made ones, so I hope there are some that will take me up. Just reply here if you're interested and I'll post my email.

All the best

Steve

Hi Steve, Like your site:2tsup::2tsup:

I am a bit of a clock addict and love making them. I often browse antique clock sites and incorporate elements of them into mine

Here is a link to some of my insert style clocks

I have made quite a few clocks including a grandfather clock and perhaps the most unusual... a pedistal clock....it has three different backing faces, this is the simplest of them (I have a carved one on it at the moment.





If you want, I am happy for you to put any of these on your site'


Cheers,

Chipman:)

Hi Chipman

Some truly wonderful clocks you have there. Do you have any photos of the actual building/design process? I get a lot of searches along the lines of "how to build a clock" and "plans to build a clock" and I am unable to meet that particlular demand at present.

If you have any photos relevant to that I would be able to make a whole new section related to the process.

I will definitely use your clocks on my site anyway, thank you. How would you like me to attribute them?

All the best
Steve
