What sort of clock are you thinking of turning one with an insert or separate movement and hands.

If it is the insert type my WIP is here http://www.woodturned.co.uk/html/freest ... clock.html

I expect it's Narfolk thing.

If you Google 'Youtube' and in the search bar, type 'woodturning clocks' lo and behold 'Clockturning' #-o #-o #-o #-o #-o #-o

A couple of other simple ideas..

The idea for that one was a variation on a free project from Record Power I think, but I cannot find the page.
I did find this page whilst searching for it though, which may be helpful .. http://www.turningtools.co.uk/projects/ ... notes.html

But you can turn any shape into a clock with an appropriate drill bit

Thanks fella's

Some very useful web sites and information. If I can't pick something out of that there is something drastically wrong with me. But then, I am a Narfolk swede basher but I haven't sucked any straw today. I got the habit down to a straw stack a week.

I really do appreciate your help
