Grandfather Clock from 1994
I built this Grandfather clock back in 1994, the only tools I had then were a table saw, a router, and a lot of cheap sand paper. I made the curved cuts on the band saw at the local high school wood shop (they still had them back then). One thing I will not forget about the build was the router bit slipping while doing the round over on the door, this ruined the door and I had to make a second one.

Tim,
This really is a great-looking clock. Nice work and an heirloom over which to fight!

Very original and it looks very Lewis Carroll-ish. Nice design and finish.

Well done.
Being a mechanical clock enthusiast I like to remind people that these movements need to be serviced every few years.....3 to 5. Meaning cleaned and oiled with "clock" oil not 3 in 1. They will run for 100 years if that is done.
