    Nice one Toni

    That is one type of clock/watch I have never attempted (have wanted to but seem to be too busy fixing up my shed at the moment)

    A few questions, What size insert is that? 35mm?

    Do you have a carving/engraving on the back? (the pic is a little out of focus)

    What sort of wood is it?


    Look forward to seeng your next one,

    Chipman

    Hi Chipman, It was a 35mm clock, the engraving is what I did with my ornamental lathe, the wood I am not sure what it is it was a piece I found in the yard to experiment with
    bye Toni

    Very nice.

    I love making pocket watches, they make great presents.
    A fob chain finishes them off nicely.

    Fob Chain

    Growing old is much better than the alternative!

    I know these things are reasonably tough but have you also considered a face? I was thinking of a pair of rare earth magnets instead of a clasp but I'm not sure how that would effect the clock. Hinges would be the hard part. I couldn't find a supplier in a brief search. They might have to be bespoke in which case the cost just went up. Oh well, it was idea...
