Project Information
This is my new shop clock. It replaced a small and annoyingly loud plastic one. Not knocking the "go to" standard shop clock (the ten inch saw blade clock) I settled on this idea. The piece is larger than it may appear in the picture. In fact that's why I placed a 10" blade was to help provide a reference to its size. The face frame is 17"x17" and the dial is 11 7/8". The overall depth is five inches. The inspiration came from a clock hanging in a friends banquet hall. Mine is a bit different in that I hand cut dovetailed corners in the casework, the door frame is 3/8" proud of the box all the way around, and I slightly chamfered the inside and outside edges of the door. It has a French cleat and an optional keyhole for hanging…take your pick.
It's made of quarter sawn red oak. Finished in Varathane kona stain. The antique oil clear coat was giving me trouble so I opted for varathane clear coat. I was going for an antique look, I hope it conveys that.
