I finished the Angel clock on 9-11-2011. It is made of quarter sawn red oak aspen and walnut. It was designed by Dirk Boelman of The Art Factory. The Gingerbread clock is made of 3/16" walnut harvested from my property and 1/16" maple. The Gingerbread clock is designed by John Nelson, and the dial is by Sue Mey. I have these on Etsy.com under Merleswoodworks. along with some other projects.

Excellent work! Man you must have the patience of a rock. I would not be able to do those as I do not have the patience for having so many starts and stops. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Staining larger 3 dimensional projects like these clocks is difficult. You can stain the pieces before assembly, but you have to be aware that stain will prevent glue joints from achieving the ultimate bond. On some pieces you may be able to get away with it, but glue failure is a risk I wouldn't want to take with a large clock. You could mask the mating glue surfaces before staining, but this can be very tedious and time consuming for complex assemblies. For these reasons, a lot of folks will use the natural color of the various wood species to provide the desired color and contrast, rather than stain the piece. It's a personal choice.Homer : "Oh, and how is education supposed to make me feel smarter. Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain."

by JimernRolf, I had that happen once, the second time it happened I bought a magnetic sheet from amazon, the sheet is super slippery. I did not think it would stick to my Ex so I was going to use double sided tape, but it did stock magnetically just fine....

Aw man Rolf....that bites! But knowing you, the 'repaired' design will look fantastic and maybe even like an artistic creation.

by Gary beasleySimpler just to drop a piece of tape over the holes same way you would do for zero clearance operation.
