it from moving or rotating within its groove. Next, cut the points off the octagon that forms the frame using the band saw. Then temporarily mount the dial face assembly to a section of plywood through the centerpoint of the face (see shaping detail Fig. 7). Clamp the plywood to the disc sander and slowly rotate the assembly to sand the perimetersmooth.

The next step is to rout the pendulum slot. This may be done using the router equipped with a V* in. straight bit. Clamp the clock face frame to the workbench and run the router gently around the arc to achieve the required 4s/b in. slot length. Several passes with the router will be required.

The Vi in. wide by Vi in, deep groove around the face frame (see cross-sectional view Fig. 8) serves as a flange for mounting the assembly in the plywood back. Cut this groove on

the router table using the Vi in. bearing guided wing cutter. Although the wing cutter will be cutting into the splines that hold the face frame together, this is not a problem.

Before assembling the clock components , round the edges of both frames to a V* in, radius, as shown in the cross sectional view. This is best done on a router table using a bearing guided bit.

Now glue both the dial frame assembly and the outer frame onto the blue veneered back. In both cases glue squeeze out could ruin the veneer. Either wax the veneered surface next to the glued area to protect it or take great care to avoid glue squeeze out. Acetone can be used later to remove the wax from the veneer.

Finish all exposed surfaces with several coats of Deft and mount the movement and pendulum, A V* in.
