Today in the workshop was all about the backplate. Planed-down another 8-foot walnut plank. Then trued-up two of the planks and cut them to equal widths and to size to run the entire length of the clock case. Then biscuited, glued-up and clamped the two planks to form one larger backplate. They will sit on the rabbeted recess cut into the back of the clock case. The plan is to then add two outer pieces down at the wider base. More on this tomorrow and you will see how it all fits together. Tomorrow, I will also permanently fasten the large cove moulding. Then Thursday, I will permanently fasten the bead moulding and, perhaps, put the backplate on. Click on photos to enlarge.
