EARLY BIRD CATCHES THE WORM MINI CLOCK

by Robin Arnold

About the designer Even as a child, Barbara McKee loved to craft. Her father was a carpenter who shared with his daughter his time, talent, and a love of making things. >4s she always enjoyed crafting, designing projects, and working with wood, Barbara found the perfect medium for expressing her creativity in the scroll saw. She has written a book to share her love and knowledge of scroll sawing, and hopes that it will encourage others to share her passion.

Barbara and her husband, Ed, are life-long residents of western New York. They live in the town of Amherst, a suburb of Buffalo. They have been married for thirty-five years and have three married children. At last count, they have eight wonderful grandchildren. Barbara's book is published by Schiffer Books (www.schifferbooks.com) and can be purchased on-line from Amazon (www.amazon.com), Barnes and Noble (www.barnesandnoble.com). Borders (www.borders.com) and Rockier (www.rockler.com). It is also available at many store locations

SUPPLIES

Wood: hardwood of choice—one piece 1/2" x 2-1/2" x 9" (for the base); one piece 1/2" x 3" x 7" (for the upright) Tools: scroll saw with assorted blades; drill with bits

including a 1-3/8"-Dia. Forstner bit and a counter sink Temporary-bond spray adhesive Sandpaper, assorted grits Wood glue

Craft knife or small file Two No. 6 x 3/4" wood screws Finish of choice One 1-7/16"-Dia. clock insert

INSTRUCTIONS

Cut your pieces to size and sand smooth. Tip: I find it easier to do most of the sanding on the piece before all of the interior cuts have been made; the finish sanding can then be done after the piece is sawn. Copy the pattern and attach it to your wood using spray adhesive. Use a Forstner bit to bore the hole which will receive the clock movement. Bore blade entry holes in the waste areas and make all interior cuts, then saw around the outside of the pattern. Remove the pattern paper, do the final sanding, and clean up the piece as necessary with a craft knife or small file.

Center the upright on the base, then bore and countersink the screw holes. Locate the holes so that they are about 1" in from each edge of the upright. Glue and screw the base to the upright, apply finish of choice, and insert the clock movement.
