Kenbo,

That's quite a compliment coming from someone as accomplished as yourself. I took a look at your photos and WOW! That is some nice work. Very detailed, what patience and skill. Do you have a website displaying your work?

I am one of those people who thinks dovetails should be cut by hand. Almost all of my projects have hand cut dovetails even if they don't show, as in this clock. It is surprising to me how much easier they are to cut by hand than with a jig, and yet so many people don't believe they can conquer the skill and opt for a jig. But to each their own style and I respect that.

Unfortunately, I do not have a website. I'm lucky that I can even manipulate around this forum. I'm not the most tech savvy guy in the world. I will be continuing to track your blog however and look forward to future contibutions. Thanks for the kind words.

First thing I said is it needs a base. But then I read the description and you said it was a wall clock. So I take it back, doesn't need a bigger base.

Very nice combination of species. Great job.
