Ok, well, a while back my wife wanted to do a clock for a wedding gift. She decided on the moonlight kiss clock, designed by Wilckens. Anyways, my job was to get all the parts prepped on the tablesaw to the right sizes and such. All went well. We talked about using a movement that plays a tune, instead of the 2 3/4 inch insert called for. So, proceded to drill the 13/32 hole for the movement shaft.Then, her plans changed, and she wanted a wall clock instead, so this one got put aside for a while. Now that the wall clock is in the oiling stage, she decided she would start the moonlight kiss clock again. Cut it all out, sanded nicely, and began assembly . She was in the shower the other night, and I head her saying "oh no! I bet I screwed that up!" and "darn it, I bet thats not right! I messed up!". Not having a clue who she was hiding in the shower with her, I poked my head in the bathroom and asked what the heck shes talking about, and who shes talking to. There wasnt anyone else hiding in the shower with her, but she was talking to herself, thinking about that clock and assembling it, when she realized she glued the thing all together, and now there is no way to get the movement in it once its to that stage!
So now, the dilemma,theres no way to scroll out the back now that its assembled, not even with a hand fretsaw.There isnt room to set a router on it and plunge through and cut an opening because of the design of the clock.Its design makes it just about impossible to disassemble and correct it, and reassemble, without possibly breaking some nicely cut fragile parts. So, what do I do??????????????????????????????
The only thing that comes to my mind right now it trying to cut a section out of the back using an offbrand dremel type tool. What would you all do if this was your dilemma? Dale
