Fish Posted November 20, 2013 Report Posted November 20, 2013 I really like walnut, can't wait to see the clock.. Quote
amazingkevin Posted November 20, 2013 Report Posted November 20, 2013 This is going to be one humdinger of a clock. Mr.Thomas (gator) spares no short cuts in his fabulous creations for us here it the village.I can't imagine what all he's done to his home ,But i'm rather sure with out a doubt it's a mirror image with his ability's .i'm just wondering if this is going to be an all out from scratch workings and all with wood gears.I'm sure there's going to be plenty of modifications.And yes a final work in progress would enlighten us to the vast amount of time an skills involved let alone the trials and tribulations un heard. iIl'be ready for chapter one of this welcome event .Roll em !
