Nice one Neil. Where did you get the clock face from BTW ??? :thumbs:

It's a rather nice little insert from Snainton Terry.
The face is 45mm approx, and has a faceted glass front. Ali picked it up last time we were there, purely because she liked it!

It's about 145mm at the widest point, by about 120mm high.

I'm now keeping a bag of the small offcuts, for those that cast.

We're never going to light the fire next Winter, at this rate!:funny::funny:

Take a guess
That looks great Neil :thumbs:

Meantime design used to sell the same clock before their sad demise, I'd bought a few from them in the past.

An affectation Peter!
I still have to order 8x4 boards, and 1/4" supplies in metal!
I can visualise the basic imperial measurements better, but the school kids must work in MM only!




A superb result Neil. Thats a beautiful clock:thumbs:

I've saved you some offcuts Brody:bwink:
