The Woodpecker Ep 211 - Walnut clock case part 1

[@Bass-guitarist]

Brilliant and so glad you showed the errors and fixes! Thank you

[@edadpops1709]

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

I hope our chidren will keep this case also. But I'm not sure the mechanism will last long.... If we forget to rewind it it has the hardest time to restart again....

[@AndreaArzensek]

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

[@ActionCreation_]

good job :)

[@russellpedersen5212]

Im glad your still on here, you may not be on a lot but it's still nice to see what your up too..

Great project Alain, coming along very nice.

[@donaldmackay6749]

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

Thank you. I've learne that the hard way...But the 2nd time around was better

[@alberoth1]

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.

[@scotthaddad563]

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

[@medicineman007]

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

[@LgosseuxDbois-TheWoodpecker]

I bet it's better than the sander..... I did that on one of this year gift, that you'll see next year :))

[@Lambdaman]

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 !

[@marcelo403polo2]

You should make wooden gears for this clock

[@LgosseuxDbois-TheWoodpecker]

it would probably worked better.... in the last year the mechanism doesn't work as good has it uses to.. if we forget to wind it and it stop it has the hardest time restarting...

[@ludboya]

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!

[@LgosseuxDbois-TheWoodpecker]

J'aime bien mon banc de scie, il est très puissant je manque jamais de puissance. Prend un 3hp pas moins tu sera déçu sinon. Pour un King c'est une bel outil, mais selon moi il y a un seul défaut. je pensais que c'était de la poussière dans mes engrenage mais j'ai essayer un flambant neuf dans une salle de montre qui n'avais jamais couper de bois de sa vie et il avais le même problème... . C'est dure de soulever la lame il faut forcé sur la manivelle. Mais à par ça je l'aime bien.

Thank you

[@jacilynns6330]

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.

[@LgosseuxDbois-TheWoodpecker]

I wouldn't have put so much effort on a electric movement....

[@jacilynns6330]

@@LgosseuxDbois-TheWoodpecker i meant no offense. I was just saying ill be really impressed for a mechanical one. Im already impressed with the walnut by itself.
