  1. That's amazing! One wrong move and it would be ruined.
  2. I found this saw on craigslist in almost new condition and couldn't resist the bargain. It belonged to yet another guy who was impressed with the demonstration at a woodworking expo and bought one, then found it wasn't his kind of hobby. It sat for over a decade waiting for me to rescue it and put it to good use. I'm coming from a budget saw, so I am really impressed at the finish that these saws leave on the cuts! I think it will serve me well for many years.
  3. I love it! Good luck
  4. Thanks for the welcome everyone. I never got to the point where I needed to invest in a better saw, so all my work previously was done on a cheap craftsman, although I recently picked up a Ryobi variable speed at a yard sale. It's not much of an improvement, but maybe I'll be able to invest in a nice saw in the future. Almost all of the clocks I built in the past were presented to others as Christmas gifts, with the exception of one, which unfortunately is in the pocession of my ex-wife! The only example I now have is one that I recently retreived from my mother, as she mounted it poorly after a move and it crashed to the floor and needs repairs. It's one of those manchester clocks and I'm hoping to find where the patterns are so I can remake the shattered part. Of course she didn't save all the broke pieces, so I can't use them for patterns. Oh well. I'll be starting that grandfather clock soon and will post pics as the work progesses. Thanks again everyone for the warm welcome!
  5. What section is that pattern located in? I'm sure I could seperate them for you.
  6. Hi everyone. I'm a new member here but having been sawing occasionally for many years. My name is Kevin and I'm from spring hill Florida. I have always been mostly attracted to making clocks. I am about to start on my biggest ever, and plan on it being a full size grandfather type clock, so I'll be busy for quite a while. Nice to meet you all!
