OK, since I went shopping and out to lunch with my wife, all I have for you today are some technical specs as I move-on to the waist section build. One unknown is the correct height of the sides, and thus the seatboard, vis-a-vis the positioning of the hood. That height and positioning also effects the door placement. I also need to test to see if I can build a 1/2" rabbet on the door as that too impacts the dimensions. But I won't let details get in the way, so onward with the build! I'm trying to get to a point where I can set the [new] seatboard, along with the entire movement], on top of the sides, start the clock, and be sure the pendulum can swing freely within its confined, allotted space [a fear my wife has had from the beginning]! This test can be accomplished without joining the waist section to the base section.
Did you know?: That wood glue is also available in a dark color; used especially for dark woods like mine. I have 2 bottles being delivered on Wednesday.
