I see you made a watch to match the pen blanks that Rand (WoodButcher) makes :gar-La;

 

[ptt49er]

Now what planet are the people on that can wear your watch and turn Randy's pen blanks?


Nice work!

 

[DaveO]

[skeeter]

Very cool. I really like it.

 

[Travis Porter]

I've never seen one of those! Very neat! I like the way you did the photos too. Let me wondering photo to photo what it was going to be.

At first I thought it was going to be a cutting board, but the curves eliminated that.

That is awesome. I am a clock, watch, fanatic. My late father loved clocks and I took after him I guess.

 

[McRabbet]

Nicely done -- bet you got sick of sanding all thouse links, though! It came out perfectly, but I'd hate to encounter the dude that wears it in a dark alley!

That is awesome. My brother collects watches but he doesn't have one like that.

 

[Bryan S]

Looks great and alot of slow tediuos work went into that

Cool [strike]watch[/strike] clock. Gotta put it on my '2do' list. Also noticed something else I like in one of the photos. The adjustable support made from PVC pipe & a slip joint. Neat idea! I'm always looking at & for good ideas to [strike]steal borrow [/strike]use.

Thanks for all the comments! I saw this quite a while ago and really liked it from the start. There's another one I'm going to tackle that's a true-to-size watch that sits on a display stand. I thought all the cuts, routs, and sanding on this one was a lot, I can imagine what it will be like to work "tiny."

Dennis, the PVC supports were one of the first "helps" I built. I've got a couple of them with different holders that slip into the tops of the pipe. If you have any questions about them, let me know.

Ken, all my projects start on time.....it's that finishing on time I'm having the problems with!! :gar-Bi
Thanks for looking!
