Todd, there are 11 pieces there, 5 blades, 5 supports for the blades (going along the length of the blade in the centre) and the centre hub the blades slot into. If you look closely you can see the joints.
ok see it now. i guess you can stack cut a few of the pieces at least.

Yep, I stacked the 5 blades together, was awkward cutting that thick, but I just let the #1 FD UR blades cut at their own speed without pushing too hard, was little slow, but didn't worry me as I cut slow anyway.

Wow!  If the blades are any indication, that is going to be a spectacular clock!

THat looks like the one I made a will back.  I just sold it for a nice sum of money.  It looks like you are doing a great job of it.  Keep up the good work.  The next one I make will have a motor in it to turn the wheel.

Well it's all cut out , I just slotted it together to take these pictures, it's not sanded or finished yet. Now I need your help, Five Blades or Four Blades??? Dad likes the 5 blades as does my daughter, but I think I prefer the 4 blades as does my girlfriend. I look forward to your opinions please before I glue it together.

Beautiful Keith! JMO, it looks more impressive with five blades. You cut five, you might as well use five!

Nice work

I prefer the 4-blade version. The 5-blade covers up the steeple and roof details.

EIEIO, the blades freely rotate so they can be positioned so they don't block the roof detail.
