John Nelson clock Auction result

[Rolf]

I donated the John Nelson clock that is pictured in the magazine to my church for our annual Harvest fair live auction.
I was very pleased with the final bid of $275.
I am not pleased with the clock movement that I used and would like to replace it with a better quality brass and glass face one that will fit a 3" hole. Any suggested sources?

Rolf, I know you don't track all your time, but just curious, roughly how long did that project take?

Congrats on the auction results. I trust the winner was quite pleased!

Where did you get the original insert? I didn't see the source listed in the article.

Since I cut it for the magazine I did track the time. From wood prep to final finish it was 15 hrs. I had to resaw and plane a big slab of real mahogany for that project.
Bill I was unable to get the recommended insert from Klock kit as it was out of stock so I got one from Sloans. It is a good movement but I think it should have a glass and brass one.

Well done on the auction Rolf.
I agree with you, that good quality work deserves quality fittings.
