Thank you for the kind comment

A couple of questions: --The outside beech trim.....it would need to start out maybe 3/4 x 1/2, yes? Then you cut a rabbet in it so it fits onto a rabbet on the face of the main box, then hangs over inside the main box a bit so it can hold the glass.....right? Your pencil drawing at 7:21 in the video shows 1/4 x 1/2 with a 5/16 rabbet, but that appears to be a mistake, because 1/4 would be too thin. Right? --The trim has to hang over inside the main box to hold the glass? --The inner box would have to start out as thicker, then use dado blades to cut it to the shape you show in the video....? If I am viewing it right, the inner box pieces look thinner on the side behind the clock face and a little thicker between the clock face and the glass, yes? --How much space did you leave between the glass and the clock face? Thanks

Thanks for the comment. I would have to measure the finished clock to see how close I came to those pencil dimensions but I think it's pretty close. The over hang to capture the glass can be 1/4" or even less as long as you can get the glass cut accurately. The inner box is dadoed to give the face something to rest against. the space between the face and the glass is 1/2" on this clock. It is a bit dependent on the brand of movement you use. some have a longer stem that require even more room to prevent the movement from touching the glass. Thanks again
