instructions

with clear packaging tape, The tape will lubricate and cool the blade, thus preventing burning. Cut the two short leg pieces from the wood with the grain running in the same direction as the upright piece. After sawing, touch up any imperfections with sandpaper, needle files, etc.

The base is made by cutting and stacking three circular .pieces. Before removing the pattern from the top section of the base, use an awl to mark the location on the wood for drilling a hole for a mounting screw. Drill a 5/32"-Dia. hole, countersunk from the bottom. The upper edges of all of the base sections can be softened or rounded over with either sandpaper or a router and bits.

Using the hole in the base as a guide, locate and drill a pilot hole in the bottom of the upright to accept the tip of the screw.

Attach the upright to the base with glue and a No. 6 x 3/4" wood screw. Glue the short leg pieces to the base and upright, making sure that they are perpendicular to the upright.

Apply finish as desired. (Remember to experiment with finishes on scrap materials.)

Install the clock insert, and your clock is ready to enjoy!
