Thanks for all the kind comments!
David, as you concluded some planning went into the grain patterns. It is a big part in the final appearance but requires a lot of thought when selecting and cutting the pieces.
The sides of the box were ment to be continous grain flowing around. But I messed up and managed to flip one piece the wrong way. That’s on my list of improvements for next time.All the best!
The coolest display for a wooden digital clock would be nixie tube digits.

Google nixie clock and you find lots of info.

Great initiative Juryaan,
I always get some good inspiration seeing pics of other woodworkers creative workspace – no matter how sofisticated or humble it might be.
Kelly: I can definitely connect with you feelings regarding how your current workspace is far from what you want it to be. But the important part is that one has a small space to work with and improve over time.
This is one of the best aspects of handtool woodworking. When I first started thinking about setting up a shop in my small space it just didn’t work out trying to get all the “required” machines in there. As my mind was opened by Chris Schwarz, Shannon Rogers and Paul Sellers to the realm of handtools it was suddenly possible.
My 3×3.5m area can hold a workbench and the basic toolset without to much hassle. And the great thing I discover more and more is that everything is just one or two steps away.
I will try to take a photo of my workspace as of now and babble on some more about how I hope to improve it.
Jesper.
Thanks to all posters for your input!
Today I spent about an hour preparing a cambered or curved iron according to David Charlesworths instructions in the article mentioned previously.
I have not had time to evaluate if it is miracle medicine for squareing edges. Report to come when I have some more experience working with this method.
