Thread: Simple clock in a hurry

I usually make farewell gift for colleagues when they they leave school. Just last term, a temp who had been with us for three terms this year was leaving and I realised that I had not done a gift for him yet so this is what I made him.... Started after work on Tuesday...sprayed before work Wednesday... a bit of a record for me. Interestingly, because it was late at night, I did not use the router to shape it at all....the profile was sanded with a drum in the drill press and the edges rounded over by simple old fashioned hand sanding!

It has a 45 mm insert and is made from some scrap Queensland walnut and finished with 35% gloss stylwood lacquer. (given a coat of wax just before it was presented on Friday)


Cheers,
