Great clocks Don all look well made and finished. I am not sure which I like best the skeleton or the pendulum one so hard to pick.

Like your clocks mate with the skeleton clock there are many times in the day it would be difficult to read with the 120 degree displacement of the movement it is striking. Watching and observing my family the ggkids find it difficult to read analogue clocks what with all electronic times on all their gear. Roman numerals are so comfortable for me and my dearly beloved tends to read the credits on film and reads with ease the numerals used to find the dates and years when they were made. We used to buy dummy clock faces to help the kids with this. I went through a phase of turning the lower numbers upside down for easy reading.

THanks for showing your clocks mate they brought back heaps of memories from G F Clocks to the thousands of types, strikes, faces etc I suppose we have about ten or more in our house in strategic places to help us in our busy lifestyle always room for one more.

Very nice clocks Don. Just a tip Don. When I make the skeleton clocks I use a parting tool to remove the timber in the middle, leaving a doughnut for the clock & I use the centre timber to make a pedestal base thus saving timber & matching the grain.

Love the simplicity of the skeleton clock, but then I'm a bit of a minimalist, many of these, in my opinion, end up with unnecessary and over intricate beads just because the maker feels he has to try and make the woodwork the dominant feature when the object of the exercise was to tell the time.

Admire the work in the pendulum, but like others, not my style.
