"How to Build a Neo-Classic Bracket Clock" Woodworking Manual on CD-ROM (.pdf)

Description: This Instruction Manual describes how to build a hand-crafted, solid wood Bracket Clock with a fine finish and classic hardware. This clock is designer-inspired, yielding a modern twist on the classic Bracket Clocks from Europe and early America. Simpler than the classic bracket clocks, and more ornate than the Shaker-style clocks, it is not too "fancy," not too simple, yet captures the essence of the Classics. This model has an optional Secret Safe that can be built into the back of the clock to provide a space to store valuable papers, jewelry, cash, or even a handgun. Note: This DIY Manual includes clear, engineer-style color and black-and-white illustrations with dimensions. A three-dimensional “Exploded View”, color photos and a step-by-step, checklist-style procedure make it easy to visualize the finished product. Color photos show the major steps in construction. Full-size templates are provided for the more complex parts, and can be printed-out when needed for cutting-out parts. The finished clock utilizes a modern Quartz clock movement, for accurate and dependable display of the time of day. Clock movements are available at www.klockit.com or www.clockparts.com. This clock design requires only average woodworking abilities and tools to complete. The finished clock measures 17-1/4” high, 11” wide, and 4-3/4” deep. A “Hardware Sources” page shows where to obtain hardware parts for this clock. The finished clock measures 17” high, 11” wide, and 5” deep. This manual is provided on CD/ROM, in Acrobat (.pdf) format so that it can be used in PC, Mac and many other devices, and pages can be read or printed-out as needed.

Following his passion for clocks, he designed clocks that resemble Classic clocks, yet are simple enough to be built using basic woodworking tools that most woodworking hobbyists have on hand (table saw and router). The author’s instruction manuals are a result of a desire to help other woodworkers to have simple, easy-to-follow procedures for making heirloom-quality clocks for themselves, family and friends, or just to sell for a profit.
