Clock Dial Pattern


A friend needed a clock dial pattern for a scroll saw project she was working on. I thought some of you might find it useful in one of your projects.

You might need to enlarge the dial on a copy machine to make it fit your pattern. There is a center reference hole to make drilling easier.

I will try to incorporate this into a full pattern later but for now use it as you wish.

You can purchase the inexpensive quartz movements from Clock Parts.

Show pride in your work

In this Walmart economy we live in today the value of a hand made piece of craftsmanship is an almost forgotten concept.

I know many of you sell your pieces of work at craft shows and online. Let your customers know that you are proud of the craftsmanship you build into your scroll saw art.

A certificate of authenticity shows that you have pride in your work. Show them that you take your craft serious. Include a certificate with every purchase.

I have included a link to a certificate of authenticity that you can sign and number. Leave your customers with the idea that you value your workmanship and they will place a higher value on it also.

We need to differentiate our work from the mass produced work that can be purchased at Walmart for pennies. I have nothing against Walmart. I shop there sometimes myself. I just don't go there for hand made quality.
