1st clock

[TTIT]

Go easy - this is my first clock - and first commission! Comments and critique welcome from the cloxperts :U. After reading some of the threads here I doubt my battery powered movement will get approval but who wants to wind a spring up everyday eh! :B Face is Cotton Poplar, the frame is Red Cedar and the 'times'??! are Australian Ebony. Made for a friend wanting a gift for a traveling companion as a birthday present and memento of their trip.
A 'how to' thread is in the Woodturning section here (http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/showthread.php?t=79809) explaining how I made the clock.

Hey TTIT,

I only kept one small slab from Dads collection but there was 6 slabs 400x60x5000 that went for about $20 at the auction - kicking myself now but just didn't have room :shrug:

well done, nice work.:2tsup:

[Swifty]

Nice piece of work, TT. I'm pretty sure you could handle making a clock of just about any size or shape!

[Rhys Cooper]

very nice

Great idea, excellent work. Can I copy it?

[TTIT]

Great idea, excellent work. Can I copy it?Go for it! Let's face it, if you didn't want it copied you wouldn't put it on the internet would you:;. The plan (rough as it is :B) is in the 'How to' thread linked in my 1st post. Drop me a note if you need any help with it.
Currently drawing up variations on the same theme - no end to the possibilities really - just limited time to make them actually happen :C
