Scrollsaw Workshop: Dec 2, 2012

This clock is simple and quick to make. There are a total of three interior cuts. It is 5 and 1/2 inches tall. Just big enough to sit on a desk without needing too much space. It requires a 2 3/4" clock insert with a 2 3/8" mounting hole. I cut the mounting hole with the scroll saw but if you have a 2 3/8" forstner bit that will speed things up even more. This project took less than 2 hours including finishing. The clock insert costs around $15 depending on where you buy it.

I glued the clock body up from two 3/4" thick boards to give it the thickness required. The top is 3/8" thick and I routed a small round over to the underside. For those of you who have pin end only saw you will be able to cut this project.

This ornament will be a little fragile to cut. Take your time. Make all the interior cuts first. Carefully glue to candy cane to the backer. This will give it strength. If you prefer the more fragile look just leave off the backer.

I am making good progress getting the custom Christmas Name Ornament patterns finished. If you have an order submitted keep an eye on your inbox. Also if you have placed an order before the 26th of November you should have received it by now. If you have not seen it check your emails spam folder.

If you would like to order more custom ornament patterns I will take orders all the way up to Christmas if wanted. The ornament patterns come in two styles. One with the date and one without. The minimum order is 5 ornaments patterns for $5. Each additional pattern is $1 each.

Don't forget to order a pattern for your pets. Some people have been ordering a few first names for immediate family then the last name for friends as a special family ornament gift. Keep in mind that some names that are very long will be more difficult to cut. Use the following link to place your order.
