Class Project: Mantel or Hanging Clock




Time to select the Project:

The class is offered four plans to select for the semester woodworking Project. The purpose of the project is to observe and learn selected skills required to build one of the four clocks. The skills will be some of the following listed below. The photo on the right is called the Arch Clock

Determine which project we want to build and select the species of wood we will use.
Complete the Bill of materials sheet to determine the quantity of wood needed for project.
Purchase wood from School
Square wood and bring to final thickness.
Layout needed parts with chalk to determine where to make cross cuts.
Cut two sides, and bottom and top of clock according to the plans for our clock.
Select boards for clock back and dial board. These boards will be cut in half and glued together.


This is often refereed to bookmatching two pieces together. The photo on the right show the back of the clock


These are just the beginning steps more steps will be added as we work on each piece for the project.
