Went to order John Nelson's Normandy Grandfather Clock pattern from Fox Chapel Publishing, along with several other patterns, only to discover they no longer have it in stock. Anyone know of another source for this pattern? Thanks for any help.

The name is similar, but the plan I am referring to is The Normandy Grandfather Clock, which stands nearly 7' tall. It is a John Nelson design that Fox Chapel offers on their online website. An alternative is Dirk Boelman's Country Grandfather, for which I have the plans, and am nearly ready to start cutting. Wanted to look at John's plan first, thinking I may wish to build that next. Have white oak, and cherry lumber prepared for cutting the next clock. Also plan to use black walnut with either of the oak or cherry. Want to make 2 clocks, using these woods.

I have both types of saw A tilting table Hawk g426 and an Older Excalibur with a tilting head. Unlike Carole for bevel cuts I prefer the tilting head I do larger projects and it is easier for me.
Regarding compound cuts they are cut at 90 degrees.
If you have a good saw, and can set the table accurately, you should be good to go. Give a holler if you need help. ๐
Randy, I swapped out the clamps on the Jet for the Pegas clamps as soon as they became available. I found the Jet clamps just too fidgety for my taste.
