AMAZING Earl! I love love love this. Seriously, I’ll be on a mission soon to get something similar made.

Very pretty clock, Earl! Excellent work.

-- Dave - Santa Fe

Definitely inspiring me to give something like your clock a try

-- Bill - Rochester MI

Outstanding! Excellent work and finish.

-- Soli Deo gloria!

Wow, I can’t imagine how many hours and tools this took to make. Beautiful, Earl.

Stellar job on building the clock……!! Beautiful project, and I have to say that I’ve never seen a pattern quite like that before….Outstanding , that’s for sure….!!

is there just the smallest hint of GG in this wonderful swap clock GREAT JOB :<))

-- Tony---- Reinholds,Pa.------ REMEMBER TO ALWAYS HAVE FUN

What a fantastic design. I really really like this.
Superb job!

Wow Earl. Beautiful work as usual. I’m coming to visit for lessons since you obviously have a lot of time on your hands and made three ;P

That is one impressive time piece EarlS... Gonna need a bigger band to strap it to your wrist.

Like the pendulum. Do they serve a functional purpose?

..... All of the clocks have quartz pendulum movements from Schlabaugh and Sons…..
- EarlS

I haven the time to read about the above specs… that’s why I asked whether the pendulum serves the correct purpose or is just for show to complement the mechanism. If it is part of operations, I’m interested in the maths to determine weight and swing (or whatever clock speak is appropriate) etc… and please don’;t tell me to RTFM.

Prettiest clock I’ve seen. It should be on the cover of WW magazine!

-- "It's getting better..." - put this on my RIP stone!

Duck – it is decorative, not functional. I looked at mechanical movements and they were crazy expensive. I didn’t spend too long looking to see if there was even one for this size of a clock.

Tony – I try to incorporate G&G, A&C and FLW in everything I build.

Oni – I spent way too much time working on this since I didn’t really have a plan or a design. There was a lot of looking at it, holding something up and trying to imagine what it would look like.

Edit – I took out surprise

-- Earl "I'm a pessamist - generally that increases the chance that things will turn out better than expected"

Awesome work Earl!! I love the design and features. Looking forward to the blog.
BTW, your project didn’t show up with the other swap projects. You tagged it with the added word “surprise”, whereas the others are tagged simply “2019 Spring Swap”.

To me that makes it more impressive as it’s then obvious you din’t work from a plan (which you confirmed in one of your comments).

Well done++!
