Has anyone come across a set of Mantel Clock plans that are somewhat more advanced then what I'm fining on the internet. Any help would be appreciated.

The first thing we need to know is what style of clock you want to build.

Hi rmaxa

You may want to check out the links below, I do have a great one that's in the Fine Woodworking Hard Copy books but I can't post it because it's a Copy Right item.
But I'm sure you may find the books in a used book store or if you are lucky on eBay.

I always suggest that members view the many excellent plans from ShopNotes and Woodsmith when searching for a project. You can find these at your favorite woodworking store or download single plans from www.plansnow.com
You can also sign up for free plans from various woodworking magazines. The files attached were/are free downloads. Please support the designers by purchasing their plans for future projects.

Hi rmaxa

Here's just one more ,it's not free BUT a great set of plans that are full size, I'm making this one now out of 7/16' AND 1/2" Walnut, you can also see the same one on the link below.

This link will give you step by step how to make it and where to get the walnut stock to make it with if you don't have it on hand.

(about $80.oo for the stock)
Plus a tip ot two on what not to do.

It's not a easy one to make and will take time to make it ,but it's one you will want to hand down I'm sure.

Plans ▼,they also sell the clock parts but you can save a bit of money from klockit

Thanks to everyone for your great suggestions. They are all every helpful.

BJ the clock you are building is it a full Grandfather's clock or is it something that sits on a mantel. I like the design very much. I can't tell from the picture, but it's exactly what I'm looking if it can be placed on the mantel. I have a great lumber yard in my areas that sells any type of wood I could want.
I would love to see some picture when you're done.
Thanks
Rolf

Hi RMaxa

Take a peek at the 1st link, it will show how big it is, it will sit on my fireplace mantel when I get it done, and I will post a snapshot or two when I get it done.

8th page on the show and tell ,you will see the front of the clock case.
