Impressive!
I’m wondering why the base appears a bit mottled? Thanks for posting the vendor’s website in your prior thread. |

Ever watch "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly?" Maybe you make that thing into a gun safe and keep a spring gun in your real safe...

Nice looking case, is this kit from Emperor Clock?
I've been thinking about building one myself and would appreciate hearing more about it and how satisfied you are with the kit. |

Thanks, to answer your questions.
Yes it a kit from Emperor Clock. I still need to buy the movement. The case you see is large enough to hold any movement they make including their top of the line movement with brass tubular bells-drool. 199- I don't know why the pic looks mottled - must be the way the wood is reflecting the light. Looks OK in real life. Still a buch of trim parts to install, final sand, stain, finish, mount glass, movement, etc. Since a few of you seem interested I'll post another pic when I get farther along. |

Quoted: Nice looking case, is this kit from Emperor Clock? I've been thinking about building one myself and would appreciate hearing more about it and how satisfied you are with the kit. Emporer has been great. One suggestion I have - don't rush, first thing you must do it ID and mark all your parts, including the screws. I separated the screws into a few baggies. This make it much easier later. I found I had one too many of a part and was missing another one. I called and they sent me the missing part - no problem. You'll need about 4 long bar clamps - I borrowed these from my brother. He also loaned me 2 of those crazy looking clamps with wooden jaws - those are also helpful. |

Piece of advise from a retired Master watchmaker/clockmaker.....Buy the movements where pros do....S. LaRose in Greenville, SC.
Their online at: www.slarose.com Movements are usually on sale. You may not get a cheaper price, but the movements are higher quality. |

Father in-law been building one each year for the married kids for Christmas. We are the 4th to get ours, wifes younger brother got his out of sequence. Ours is still sitting at her folks since Christmas, makes maybe 5 chiming clocks there.
EDIT- Clock delivered Jan-24, around 8:00pm, casually pulled up this thread, for him to read, did not tell him who was who, he got here and recognized the story, and said I should edit to show he has 1 less clock at his place. |
