Popular Post Greg Slagle Posted May 12, 2019 Popular Post Report Posted May 12, 2019 (edited) Wow! Today marks the 8th year anniversary of my finishing of this dome clock... This is the project that gave me the confidence to start posting my work online for public viewing... My, how time does fly... I got this clock pattern from Wildwood Designs who have since been merged with Cherry Tree Toys... It took a while to finish this gem but was an absolute joy to make and especially to complete! Including a picture of the clock after I stained and Polyurethaned it... Not exactly sure which version I like better but I'm very proud of the project either way... Edit: Oh, this is 1/4" Southern Red Oak with a Walnut dial... It was stained Dark Walnut and sprayed with 3 coats of Minwax Polyurethane...

JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted May 12, 2019 Report Posted May 12, 2019 How is it holding up and any regrets or I should have done ideas?? Who does the dusting of it?? Quote
Woodmaster1 Posted May 12, 2019 Report Posted May 12, 2019 On my bucket list that probably won't get checked off. Awesome looking domed clock! Greg Slagle 1 Quote
spirithorse Posted May 12, 2019 Report Posted May 12, 2019 Great work, Greg, As for preference, I like the lighter shade before the stain but, that is always subjective to different individuals. God Bless! Spirithorse Greg Slagle 1 Quote

Who does the dusting of it?? It is holding up just fine... I do the dusting but I'm lazy about it so it only gets done about once a year... lol I have several others that I made to dust as well...

Scrappile Posted May 12, 2019 Report Posted May 12, 2019 Beautiful work on all, for sure. Could you use an air compressor on the dust? I'd love to build one, but what would I do with it after it was done and my wife was tired of it sitting in the middle of the living room? I have a hand crank street organ.... Such a challenge, such fun to build,,, what do I do with it now?? Greg Slagle and MarieC 1 1 Quote

Scrappile Posted May 12, 2019 Report Posted May 12, 2019 How about those spray cans of air? Just trying to make your life easier.... Quote

Dave Monk Posted May 13, 2019 Report Posted May 13, 2019 Awesome clocks Greg. I can't imagine the time it takes to build those. Greg Slagle 1 Quote
JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted May 13, 2019 Report Posted May 13, 2019 I have made the center wall hanger and a few others like it. Never did the Dome. Just no room to store it for display. They do look nice though. Greg Slagle 1 Quote

Aaron K5ATG Posted October 12, 2025 Report Posted October 12, 2025 That is beautiful. I ordered the plans from Wild Wood around 2004 and got the first level done with solid oak. I can't find what I already have done on it but I do still have the plans. I hope to start again this winter. I really hope that mine will turn out as nice as yours did. It isn't a weekend project. You got to be commited to it for the long haul. You did a great job. Quote
Scrappile Posted October 12, 2025 Report Posted October 12, 2025 I would love the challenge of making one, BUT, would not know what to do with it when complete. JTTHECLOCKMAN 1 Quote
