INSTRUCTIONS

Use the full-size patterns to cut all pieces on a scroll saw.

The project is designed to hold a 2-3/4"-Dia. clock insert which requires a 2-3/8"-Dia. mounting hole. The hole can be drilled with a Forstner bit, or carefully sawn on a scroll saw.

The rear overlay does not need a hole through it; make it a solid disc. Slightly round over the outer edge on the front and rear overlays with sandpaper.

After sawing the components, touch up any imperfections with needle files, rasps, sandpaper, knife, etc.

Drill holes for mounting screws. Dry fit the upright and leg pieces to the base. Make adjustments as needed.

Begin assembly by gluing the overlays to the front and back of the upright. Clamp together until dry.

Locate and drill pilot holes in bottom of the upright. Attach the upright to the base with glue and wood screws, making sure it stands straight/perpendicular to the base.

Locate and drill pilot holes in bottoms of the leg pieces. Apply glue to.the joints between the upright and base, and fasten securely together with wood screws. Clamp together until dry.

Apply finish as desired. We applied Natural Watco Danish oil.

Install the clock insert and proudly display your timepiece for all to enjoy,
