Thank you all for your kind comments!

In answer to questions, no I don't have close-up photos and yes I did install a bronze bell which is inscribed "Feliz Navidad" in Spanish (Merry Christmas). More detail can be seen on Photobucket by clicking on the magnifying glass at the right-bottom of the photo and then clicking the button indicating view original size on the next page.

Construction took about 6 months and I wouldn't ever build another one! I'm now looking for another project.

Cheers,
Gadois

Looking at the close up - thanks for telling us how to do that - I can see how many tiny and many very delicate pieces were involved.  It is really an impressive work and I have no problem with accepting the six month time frame.  Both precision cutting and precision assembly.  Wow (again).  This is truly an heirloom piece and a work of art.

Thanks again for the very generous compliments! In answer to a request from a forum member, I've added some detail pics of the tower. However, once enlarged, the pics get blurry. Photobucket responsible?
