I've got an old fusee clock, 12" face, which sat in a circular oak frame until my wife decided to test its bounce-ability by dropping it six feet onto a flagstone floor. Amazingly, the mechanism and the glass front survived, but the wooden frame, being over 100 years old, exploded beyond repair. Does anyone have access to, or know where I could find, a set of blueprints or plans to build another ?

The circular frame is 15"/38cms wide with a hole of 10"/25.5cms in the middle. The clock face sits on this and the mechanism fits into a box on the back which, externally, is 8.5" across, about 12" in height and about 4.5" deep.

Any help gratefully received.

Do you still have the pieces? I imagine it wouldn't be difficult to work up a plan from the old parts.

Hmmm. You're assuming a level of expertise on my part that clashes a bit with reality. I'm ok working with a set of plans, less so doing stuff off the hoof.
 
Any chance you can post a pic of the pieces you have ? Seems like a worthwhile project and everyone loves a challenge !
