Popular Post RangerJay Posted February 9, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) Well - it's been a long haul - but after a couple surgeries - and one major blunder that meant the wheels had to be done over again - these clocks are finally done ..... These are a few better pictures than the ones I posted along the way. Couple things you might be interested in: the plan is from Cherry Tree Wildwood: http://cherrytreetoys.com/fire-engine-clock-plan/ - I've sent them a note asking who the pattern-maker is. the horses and harnesses are from Kulp Model Horse Store: http://kulpmodelhorsestore.com/ - this particular harness is a Parade Harness. the plans called for a Fire Bell - but I couldn't find one I liked so I opted for the lanterns - purchased off of Etsy. my wife did the upholstery and acted as Supervisor in Chief. the carriage is made of Walnut, the undercarriage is Red Oak and the Pump Box is Black Oak. the "blunder"? - well - it's not really a good idea to cross the grain when laminating two flat pieces of wood - not sure why but it seemed like a good idea at the time - turned the wheels into real nice pretzels as the shop dried out this past fall ...... seems to me I recall that very basic lesson being taught to me some 40 or more years ago ..... Comments welcome. Thanks, Jay Edited February 9, 2017 by RangerJay Lucky2, Sam777, jollyred and 12 others 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
