Here's a pic of the first clock I've attempted. It's been on the shelf for a while waiting for a clock movement. I finally bought a cheap one at Woodcraft yesterday and put it together. I'll get a nice movement for it one of these days and install some hands that fit!!!

Nice job
Good job Neal. My friend does a lot of clocks. I tease him saying he has too much "Time" on his hands.
I did attempt the dome clock once. I even got the first two lavels done, but I wasnt quite ready, I used the wrong material. 1/8 Red oak veneer. I couldnt afford the blades, Mind you I didnt have FDs then.CAЯL HIRD-RUTTEЯ"proud member of the best scroll sawing forum on the net."Ryobi SC180VS scroll saw EX21

I don't think he minded you showing the one you made years ago Mike, but having all the ribbons hanging off of it might have been over the top. (kidding)
Neal you did just fine on that clock, remind me here...but aren't you the one always telling me and others to not be so hard on ourselves? We both need to ditch the military mindset that everything has to be perfect. Ya' done good buddy!Todd

Rivari, Mike and JT....Yep, we're our own worst critics!! As we should be I suppose. The average person will probably never see the little imperfections in a fretwork piece or a portrait that we do, but we know they're there!! I'll never lose the military mind set Todd. I lived and loved that life for too many years for it to ever totally go away. JT, before I got to the bottom of your post I had to go back and look at the clock to see what you were talking about...Yeah you made me look!!! Mike...Beautiful job!!! The horses and tack really compliment a fine piece of work.If it don't fit, don't force it....get a bigger hammer!!

Neal - Great job on the clock. I really like it.
Also, your segmented tiger portrait in SSW this month is awesome! Good ideas and great explanation. By the way, I've looked for the false tread molding and can't find it. Where do you get yours?
Thank you.

Great job Neal, a tip from my photographer daughter. When taking a picture of your clocks always set the hands at 10 to 2 or 10 after 10. Have made 217 clocks but only one of them is scrolled. Made the America's Pride a couple years ago.Mick.

False Tread Moulding
Tom....I used to get it from a local mill here in WV. called MCM Moulding, however, I stopped in last week to replenish my stock and was informed they no longer manufacture it. They did say they would do a special run if I would order 1000 feet!!!If it don't fit, don't force it....get a bigger hammer!!

by Sandy OaksA modified Sue Mey pattern to fit 1" x 4" x 10" Hard Maple. Cut on the Pegas scroll saw using a Pegas #5 MGT blade. One side says "TEACH". Flip it over and the other side says "LEARN". After sanding, dipped in diluted Shellac, sanded again and another dipping. Comments...You do not have permission to view this gallery.

Reply to Help with spray adhesiveby RolfI have used all sorts of methods for putting on patterns. The only time I put a pattern directly on the wood is on Intarsia as the shaping process removes it. I only use blue tape under the pattern on very small projects.
I Use clear removable contact paper (shelf liner) on the wood and...-

Reply to Sanding and calibration disk.by RolfI agree about how it was advertised, but it is my own fault, I know better. Just for curiosity I may strip the paint off and see how true the plate is.
The good thing is that while I had my saw blade off I cleaned it sprayed Crud cutter on it let it sit then wiped it off with a skotchbright...-
