Pursuing the Art of Fine Woodworking Since 2018
Purpose: This was made as a Christmas gift for my nephew.

This clock was styled after a similar clock that I had purchased and had been sitting on my mantle for many years.

The base is solid oak with four 5/8" diameter "feet" made of 7/32" tall rounded oak plugs.

The central portion consists of a box with 7/16" thick solid oak for the sides, top, and bottom. The space is divided into two equally sized compartments by a 1/4" thick shelf. The back is 1/4" oak veneered plywood.

The door is 1" thick solid oak and is attached with two mortised brass hinges. The door is held closed with a rare earth magnet embedded in the edge of the box wall and a brass-plated steel screw inserted in the back of the door.

The upper section contains multiple pieces of solid oak. The lowest (widest) part is 3/4" thick with a combination of edges, most noticeably a 1/2" cove on top. Above that is a 1" thick piece of oak with a 1" roundover. The top is adorned with a 1" tall, 1" diameter (at its widest) solid oak knob.

The clock mechanism was harvested from an anniversary clock being thrown out at my full-time employer. The clock mechanism has an overall diameter of 3-5/8" while the visible clock face is just under 3". It mounts in a 3-7/16" hole. The trim is bright gold-colored plastic. The clock operates on a single 'AA' cell.
