Finished at last John Laws Clock 26 with remontoire
I wouldnt suggest this clock as a first try. It took me months to get going reasonably. John Laws drawing is good but doesnt make allowance for the vagaries of wood. It certainly doesnt make allowance for an idiot varnishing the cogs. Great mistake. Danish oil is OK
I used John Laws DXF file in Vectric to create the tool paths. All cutouts used 1/8 Bit

(Ron...sometimes mistakenly sold in US as "Lacewood" but Plane carves better than real Lacewood.
Had a small piece of Plane one of my carpenters bought for an anniversary that was so nice,
I bought a real Lacewood 6/4 plank not being aware of anything but the Trade Name....
that Really needed some TLC to finish well).
Really IS a beautiful wood once I learned to cut across the grain after oiling,and then burnishing.
Worth picking up if you run across it!
Sorry for pics on your post Colin, but just wanted to show what sometimes shows up for us Yanks.
