Ask Steve a question. / Clock Insert

« on: July 15, 2011, 10:32:48 pm »

I went to the Woodcraft site looking for the clock insert you used in the humming bird clock and no longer find 142320. I have never used an insert and notice they have several other 2 3/4" clocks which would work in terms of the clock circumference. However the one I like says it needs a depth of 13/16. I assume that since the front of this clock is cut from 1/4 but has several inches behind it that the clock will work. Again, I have no experience with clock inserts and thought I would ask the question rather than order something I can't use.
Thanks, Gary

I agree, it is really a comfort to know the answer to your question is probably as close as your computer. This site is so helpful in so many ways.

Thanks for your input, I tend to prefer the no glass solution. I have just recently started making my own frames as well.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Framed Cuttings

Just wondering if you always use glass or something clear in front of framed cuttings? If so what do you use besides glass, so often glass makes the protect heavy. I have put them under glass and sometimes used no covering and got to wondering what others do.

I, like many I have read here drill all the holes before cutting. Then I go back and drill the ones I missed, just glad to know I'm not the only one who has to return to the drill press to drill missed holes. For whatever the reason it is so frustrating.

Frank sorry to hear of your mishap. Guess we just get careless or unlucky at times. Ran my thumb through a router four or five years ago, still no feeling in the tip, but it healed and no real problems. Just take care of the injury and get back in the game as soon as you can.

My grandson competed in his second state diving final over the weekend and I would like to cut something out he could keep as a reminder of his accomplishment. I would like it to say:

Texas State 2011
High School Diving Championships
Alex Happe
6th

Thanks, Gary
