The Woodpecker Ep 211 - Walnut clock case part 1

This is the last Christmas present I made last year. This one is for Renée. I’m making a new walnut case for the clock she has in her office.

In the first part, I mostly finish the case.

Can't wait to see the clock finished. That walnut looks fantastic.

this was fun. I remember my dad building a grandfather clock for Christmas in 1967. He was a Mastership wright so of course he used teak. He had just rebuilt an older shopsmith machine and used it for the build. My brother still has the clock. very cool

Great project Alain, coming along very nice.

Another awesome project, Alain. If I should be so bold as to suggest that when you are using your CNC machine for fine woodwork like this that you don not use tabs, which some times can be a pain to remove. Instead I use two sided tape and set my profile cut to a depth that leaves a skin of wood in the bottom of the profile (in other words do not cut all the way through). When the cut is complete, remove the tape, use a band saw to separate the two pieces, and then use a flush cut bit on your router table to clean up the edge and you are good to go. While it may seem that there is an extra step using this method, there is no sanding to do and the finish is superior to sanding. No criticism here, Alain, I think that the case is outstanding. Dan

Man, with that kind of workshop equipment, anyone can do something like that. It's a perversion to cut slots for glass holders on a 3D mill.

Love your build videos but they move so fast that they seem more like watching a preview for a longer build. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely project so far Alain. Have you ever tried a flush cut bit to remove tabs? So far that has worked best for me.

Très belle réalisation !! Bravo je vais aller voir la finition ;-)
C'est une idée ou dans le plateau du fond la cnc à tiré un tout droit sans avoir relevé la tête ?
En tout cas c'est chaud comme projet ! Très beau travail !

You should make wooden gears for this clock

Bonjour, belle réalisation! j'ai une question basé sur le banc de scie King, est-ce que vous le trouvez satisfaisant? J'hésite à acheter un King de type cabinet, mais je ne suis pas certain au niveau de la marque. En voyant le votre, j'imagine que vous pouvez m'en donner votre impression. Merci!

if this was with a mechanical movement ill be very impressed, especially if it has a chime
thats right mechanical. Im not a fan of electronic movements.
