Brag Forum / Another "creation"
« on: March 21, 2011, 10:52:15 pm »
Made this for a friend who owns a local restaurant...
block of wood is Curly Claro Walnut (has some excellent waves in it
) I can't remember for sure what the open/closed insert was, but I want to say Canary wood? Address plate is cut from brass sheet and had it engraved at a local place in the mall. The little crystals around the clock are hot fix Swarovski (clear) and the center of the clock is a hard drive platter with the roman numerals engraved by me.
Back has a custom made cover from regular walnut with 4 magnets in the corners over the corresponding screws to hold it on. the "Thank You, Please come again" is cut from .050 PPW (pre-painted white) aluminum. Hanging eyes are solid brass and had a black chain to hang it on.

Brag Forum / Re: Wedding clock - some scrolling, some wood working
« on: March 21, 2011, 10:37:58 pm »Stop and think about 'trophies' and you will seldom see a copper plate on a trophy made of wood. Almost always 'brass' finish.But I am cutting the letters out individually, so won't be a "plate" with engraving, but you are right, never seen any with copper plates.

Sheila...that's what I use for the majority of my patterns as well...stick it in the printer, print it out and cut around them. But I have all my patterns on the computer as well.

Here are some hands that I made for a clock, they are very thin brass that I sandwiched between 2 pieces of 1/8 plywood to cut. Still was a little tricky....longest hand is about 11"
