Bore the 2-3/8"-Dia. hole to receive the clock movement as indicated on the front piece as well as the three level "A" and two level "B" pieces. Drill all blade entry holes and the 1/4"-Dia. holes and saw along pattern lines. Using the 2-3/8" and 1/4"-Dia. holes, make sure that the pieces line up when cutting. Remove pattern and sand as needed. Saw the base piece to size. Note: using a table saw for this operation will make for straighter edges. Rout a decorative profile on the front and sides of the base piece. family and friends will probably want to make bets with you that you didn't actually cut this out with a scroll saw, but that it is really a woven piece. (NOTE: Half of all betting profits should be sent directly to me!) Assembly Referring to the Exploded View and Assembly View drawings, glue the three level "A" pieces and two level "B" pieces together alternating them as shown. Make sure the holes all line up. The pieces can be glued and joined with the 1/4"-Dia. doweling. Next, glue the front and back pieces in place as shown. Finally, glue the level assembly centered on the base. Apply finish of choice according to manufacturer's instructions. Insert the clock movement and enjoy! jj|| Exploded View Drawing 28 • Creative Woodworks & Crafts November 2001 continued on page 18 I have to admit that this project is truly a "basket case"! It incorporates the "faux basket weave" which I developed a few years ago. When assembled, your Basket Clock will look just like it was actually woven. It adds to the woven effect if you use contrasting woods on the front and back pieces.
