Well, after painting 5 rooms and hosting many visitors over the past month, I'm finally ready to get back to my clock case build! Yesterday I bought my last big tool - a router, router table and bits. I spent today setting it up and running a few test pieces. In building the clock, I expect to make lap, roundover, chamfer, rabbet, cove, bead, keyhole, hinge, mortise and who-knows what else cuts with the router. So it's an important part of the build process. I also spent some time yesterday on measurements. I started with a picture, a build diagram from a different clock, and the fact that the clock will be 87 inches high. Stay tuned for more updates. See pics below. Click to enlarge.
