Last night, my wife took a look at my clock case progress and declared that my case was way too glossy. So I investigated my options and, today, applied a final coat of wax with my #0000 steel wool and immediately wiped it off. I had to be sure I was applying the wax uniformly. The result was a more satin sheen that I'm happy with - and my wife is too! The waxing is now complete. I also put the waist door back on and installed the key escutcheon on the waist door with my wife's help.
Next up tomorrow, is putting the knob on the dial door, installing the glass in the dial door and, finally, adding the dial door hinges. I'm hoping to have the clock dial door installed into the hood, and may even have the clock movement back on the seatboards by tomorrow night! That will only leave the penning of my name to the dial, a task now scheduled for April 23rd. Enjoy the slideshow below!
