please do

Carl looked up all my info couldn't find any 50m units.
I made a "weather wall" from a burl but they are 95mm. I picked them up at the Melbourne ww show. Around mis $20's. So hang on until the Brisbane show and see what you can get, you may ave to go a size larger to get a match

brickie has actully had a lot of his work on the forums... you have to know where to look

I certainly wasn't keen on the original orientation. The second isn't so bad, but I wouldn't have the two smaller dials one above the other - the lower one should be further out to the edge and the higher one a bit more central.

I think that, in the 2nd photo with it on it's side, I'd move the clock over to the right, practically covering the crack, and move the two small gauges to the pointy end side by side. ie. arranged something like: < oo O <

Or perhaps a medium sized gauge replacing (or as well?) one of the smaller ones so they complement the spear-head shape.

(The sad thing is that for every weather station I've made I've spent hours re-arranging the gauges until I've found a couple of pleasing solutions. Then I ask 'er indoors which she thinks best. Almost every time she re-arranges them in yet another way I hadn't thought of and that's the way they're glued on. )

woah boy,

I like clocks alot,
nice clocks with calm soothing shapes that go with the tick tock.
mellow faces.
unique dials

a beautiful piece of wood with a horrid mass produced clock shoved in the middle dosnt make a nice clock.

thats MHO

Told you so


I reckon a spearhead o o o design would look good

i cant move the dials now as they are countersunk in holes not glued on the front.

as i said i have plenty more peices the same and plenty of rc crutches wating to be cut up. next time i will try how u say.
