Windmill clock
« on: February 12, 2013, 02:05:17 pm »
I just started cutting a windmill clock today, all I managed to get cut were the blades and the centre hub for them.I'll post more as I get it done.

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.
