Made a wall clock tonight

[lovemachine]

Just finished this wall clock tonight. Wood is cherry. I just need to find a way to mount it to the wall now. May see what Lowes has.

I'm also open for some mounting ideas.

You do some very nice work!

You could put a key hole in if you have a router and the correct bit.

I haven't seen the back, but I might try a cleat mount.

Nice workmanship.

Top quality work, as always. Never did send you pics of the antique 6' tree saw finished with the custom Hickory handles you built for me.

You truly have a natural talent.

That's actually a good idea.

Hey you finished it! That saw blade makes the handles look good

Nice Clock. I would plunge a blind key way in the back of it to hang it with. I think anything else would be disappointing.

I think you need to move to the next step in turning. Bowl making.... You have got me anxious to get my lathe out of storage and start turning again. I am really struggling with where to put my stationary tools in the new house.....

Keep the post coming...

So what did you use to finish the blade? Did you paint it or put a hardened finish on it. I have one that I really need to clean up and am curious.

This is the most current bowl I made..

I started a segmented bowl a little while back, but had to put it aside. I need to jump back on that one.

What size lathe are you using? Wood turning and carving has always fascinated me, but the initial expense. . .

Of all things Stove Black. After soaking it for a couple weeks in the evaporust solution it was bare metal but still dark (think raw steel) and fairly pitted. I decided to not buff it to a shine because the blades have a slight relief that I would have lost. It's not meant to be a piece of wall art but a tool, I believe it will shine up a bit with actual use.

(Sorry for the thread jack, lovemachine).

Just make sure you don't take it into a school, hard lessons learned the last time somebody tried that.

Nice work on the two clocks, you've got quite the talent sir.

 

[RugerRog]

Very nice, you are quite a talented wood worker. Is that your hobby or trade?

Very nice! OK, I am going to get my lathe out of storage....
