This pattern book includes 24 clocks. Each pattern has a different short saying wrapped around the top. You will need a 3 1/2" clock insert for the patterns. The clocks stand about 5" tall. Just the right size for a desk clock. Big enough to sit on a shelf.
The back of the clock is removable to replace the battery. You can leave the front bezel and back plate off if you like. I think the clock looks more balanced with them added however.
If anyone is interested I would like to make another book of these clocks with sayings provided by the readers here at the Scrollsaw Workshop. Email me if you have some to add. Keep it to about 17 letters including spaces.

John is a long time reader of the Scrollsaw Workshop. He recently entered a beautiful scrolled portrait of a cheetah in the Peanut Festival Art Show. This is the first time John has entered a project and it was a successful first attempt. He received a third place ribbon. I have seen many of John's works of art and his skill has continued to develop with every piece. John makes many of the frames for his portraits which are very well made also.
I wanted to share this photo with all of you and at the same time tell John congratulations.
I know that many of you are readers of "The Scrollers Cafe" forum. MSN hosted the forum and has decided to discontinue that service. They have found a new home. I received an email from Jesse Davis asking if I would pass along their new location. Just follow the link below. If you are not a member sign up and enjoy what they have to offer.
I like to read inspirational and thought provoking quotes. This quote from Charles Dickens rings very true to me. This small plaque would make a nice gift for a close friend. The words are cut and applied to the plaque. The plaque is 6" high and the black areas in the picture above are interior cuts.

Think Safety
Remember to keep the safety of yourself and others in your work shop in your thoughts at all times. Always wear eye and ear protection. Follow all the manufactures warnings that came with your power tools. If I demonstrate something on this web site that you don't feel is safe, don't do it. Your safety is your responsibility. Fingers are handy things, try to keep all of them.
