Product Description

A grandfather clock is one of those pieces of furniture that''s simply destined to become a family heirloom. Classic design, solid construction and practical functionality all conspire to stand the test of time. If you''re a woodworker looking for a project that the next generation will enjoy, this handsome grandfather clock project definitely fits the bill. Standing an imposing six feet tall, the clock is built from oak as pictured (other species will also work). The classic design is complemented by the Westminster clock movement, which mimics the familiar chimes of London''s Big Ben. Although the clock requires close attention to detail and a significant investment of time, the project is easy enough for most woodworkers. The case is essentially a basic box, the curved cuts are traced from full-size patterns, and the decorative details (which give the effect of dimensional moulding) are created by using multiple layers of wood. About U-Bild plans: U-Bild plans are ideal for woodworkers and do-it-yourselfers of all skill levels. Unique ''trace, saw and assemble'' designs feature simple-to-follow patterns (like sewing patterns) that produce professional-looking results.
