Honest criticism is a good thing. It hurts at first buy gains value over time. I don't like the clock all that much either. I'm not sure that I like the idea of jamming clocks into lumps of timber.

This is a clock.
All built on a Triton ..

Personal opinion was asked for. Well we are waiting for you to tell.

Personal opinion with reasons given and possible improvements

Once again personal opinion with possible improvements.

Skew also had personal opinion with possible improvements

Brickie i see it as you giving a personal opinion with no foundation or reason for it. If you would not make a clock using that peice of timber what would you use it for. To just say burn it is a rediculous statement as i doubt you would get support from many other forum members on that. There are a lot of pen blanks or a possible peice for carving in that wood if nothing else.

As for your clock pictures you put up i could buy similar to that at any 2 bob furniture store. That is not to say yours are 2 bob clocks but there is more than one design of a clock. So you dont like the design that Carl has chosen, now you need to come good with your reasons, like you have stated.

Personally i dont mind either design as they are both individual and if put up for sale i am sure they would sell just the same as yours will.

I am sorry but to have credibility you now need to give options for the design or an alternative use for the peice of wood.

Not everyone has the brickies gift for aesthetically pleasing craft and quality design...

If you cant see from looking at it that it looks like one of them cartoon creatures and looks just generally hideous then there is no hope......

Really, you all think it looks good?

Wiesy asked for comments, he got them good or bad.

Funny how it all comes down to me?

its like talking to a brikie wall.

Ok, your clock is absolutely brilliant, can I get the plans off you, well done....

Weisboy, I consider your clock as a piece of art, and with art some people are attracted to an item whereas other find the displayed item not to their liking.

Perhaps your clock will reach the fame of a certain gentleman named Salvador Dali, and you will be rich and famous.

Have a look at this gallery website of his work.
