Today I picked up a longer 1/2" straight bit and began testing arch-building on a piece of pine. All worked well. So, I built one of the support arches. Had to stop there as it was the only "blank" wide enough to give me the 8" radius. So, I then biscuited and glued-up some "blank" extension pieces that would give me the required 8" radius. Since I only have two good glue clamps, I only glued two "blanks". Tomorrow, I will cut the arches on the two and glue-up some more "blanks". BTW in case you have been wondering, I don't have an expected completion date for the clock but the end of January would be nice. Other than putting oil and wax on it, all the remaining effort is on the hood. Enjoy the slideshow below!
