Husband will be 83 this week. He has always had a love affair with steam engines. Even got to drive one a few years back. So, made this for him as a surprise. He is pleased.
It is a Dirk Beolman (sp?) pattern, oak, walnut, and maple. The clock case is filled with 2 circuit boards, a speaker, the clock work, batteries, and lots of wires.

Oh my gosh you are one talented lady! That is absolutely beautiful! He probably cried when you gave him that!

You did a beautiful job with that! The detail work is gorgeous and it sounds like it was pretty complicated to get it all together. Congrats on a really nice clock. (And happy birthday to your DH)

A very amazing piece of work, you made clock building into an art by the look of things. Thanks for sharing and hope you and your hubby have a super birthday. He must be happy to have such a talented wife.

Beautiful job on the train clock, My Wife's father was a train fancier also. He owned a couple of large steam engines and an actual full size sightseeing train that ran from Cadillac to lake City in Michigan.

WOW! Excellent piece! I am going to look for that pattern

Hey pat, you did an excellent job on the clock! Dirk does make some nice clock patterns. I made his Santa's Workshop clock a few years back. I will show it off around Christmas time.
Again, Excellent job!

dgman i wanna see that clock NOW!

No, Janet, he didn't cry, but he was speechless. Most unusual!!! Usually I will point out all the flaws, but just let it go this time.
Really appreciate all the kind words from everyone.
It's not hard to cut out, but a lot more pieces than I am used to dealing with, plus thickness I didn't have, so did have to glue wood together to have thicker pieces.
