| Forum Contributer Supreme Forum King  |  Modification to Apricot clock Some of you may remember the clock that I turned from Apricot some time ago. Well I was never really happy about it, the shape left a lot to be desired but too late now to alter, and the clock fit-up was too small and well off centre, this latter I decided to correct as shown in the shots. First I made a tight fitting plug, marked a new centre and if I had one, I would have used the correct size Forstner bit, but I didn't so I chose the closest undersized hole saw and brought it to correct size using a sanding drum in the Dremal, hence all the marks at the bottom. In hindsight I should have used the trimming router to clean up the bottom. I'm much happier with the result.
