I've cutout two holes in the side panels for the Gothic Table Clock. These will be gothic grilles that will have a piece of fabric sandwiched between the scroll work and the side panels. #woodworking #DIY

This week I started another project which I will be an art nouveau style wealther station. I have been planing on doing this one for months but I found the design to be very challenging. #DIY #woodworking

🧵 I've been thinking and I have a sea clock I purchased months ago that keeps stopping. I've had assistance from local clock makers in taking it apart and cleaning it and it rand for about four weeks then just stopped.

I was recently given a cuckoo clock for free. Although, I need to repair the case as it had fallen off the wall many years ago.

After many years I've now made the tools I need to replace a broken string in my harpsichord. The sting looks like S**t but it at least works. #woodworking #DIY

Today I just trimmed the top and bottom plates of the clock case. There is still a little more work I need to do before I can start gluing the case together. The round corner pieces will support two columns. on the front of the clock. #woodworking #DIY #clocks

I've finally finished making the wooden boxes that are for some of my clock repair tools.
Looking back I think that what I probably should have been working on is making a tool box, as I feel that making a box to store crew drivers in may have not been the best idea. #DIY #woodworking

I finally got round to painting the Christmas trees for the Winter Shadow Box I started making weeks ago. This was a bit of a challenge as I think it would have been better to spray them than paint them by hand. #woodworking #DIY

Something I would like to one day to is to do better drawings and plans for my DIY projects, as most of my designs are ruff sketches like this one for a gothic table clock.

It's been a while since I've posted another update on one of my projects, but I've been waiting for some box latches to arrive in the mail. So I've pretty much finished the boxes I was making for my clock repair tools. I just need to add a finish t the boxes.
