Thank you guys for good words,
I think that everything is about design and proportions. One thing about what i am not fully satisfied is the beadings. Being lazy I used Veritas plow plane â…›” instead of tool suggested by Paul. I think it ruined the whole outlook.
I am wondering why Paul does not publish his journals as a complete high – end workbook about woodworking? This would be highly valuable.___________________

25 April 2014 at 6:52 am #56409Both cases are very nice and the fact you’ve done it all by hand would make many modern day cabinet makers cringe so congratulations.
The only criticism I would make is the worng choice of insert. It is far too small for a case of this size, but none the less great work and keep at it.
12 October 2014 at 3:00 am #119391Well, Mr. Katz was not terribly impressed. But my friends, to whom I gave the clock as a wedding gift, like it a lot.
I only had to make each component twice. Not so bad for my first piece made entirely with hand tools.
Well, I take that back. The grooves for the raised panel were done on my router table, as I did not yet have a plow plane with properly-fitting irons.
A public “thank you” to Paul Sellers for teaching the techniques. Now it’s up to me to develop the skills.

I had a couple of clock faces arrive in the post today, just got to get the timber now. I’m hoping to make a couple as Christmas presents.EDIT: My apologies, I didn’t realise ( until now) that the post I just replied to was written in November 2012, looks like i’m a bit behind the times. Some great looking clocks on this thread.
