    Vern, ya gotta have a wanderin' mind to come up with that! Excellent. Craftsmanship, turning, imagination, the works! Looks like a winner to this old man's eyes.

    Absolutely superb and I don't think it matters too much where inspiration comes from.
    As long as it comes (wish I'd get some sometime )

    Amazing Vern

    You certainly have the necessary artistic skills that many of us can only dream of. Mind you, I can copy ideas pretty well

    Must be a great fun for you to develop such a wonderful clock.

    That's just about the best clock design I've ever seen, just about the best description of WIP, and you learned a few things on the go. Something for all of us.

    Thanks for sharing all of it, Vern.

    Excellent choice of timbers (shame about the Ebony dust), excellent design, well laid out instructions. Well done Vern you should be proud.

    Flattery will get you everywhere guy's!

    Just a thought, but do you reckon if I make another one and put photos of myself, my Dad and his Dad in it, I can call it a Grandfather clock!!!

    Sorry!
