I buy all of mine currently off of ebay. Just got rid of all my excess parts and pieces, probably should have offered them up here. I just made two nice mantle clocks, see pics below.

Going to have to replace and rethink the front hinges. Need to go with full length piano hinges, these silly things are too soft and already warping from the weight of the door.

It's all oak except for the burl which I'm not sure what kind of wood that is. I mixed a cherry/mahogany stain and rubbed the cah cah out of it. Not the most perfect piece but I love the thing. I made two of them, not sure if I have the energy to do more than that...lol... I bought the works plus the chime and speaker from China off ebay, so far neither clock has lost a minute so I'm really happy with that.

Now if I only had a mantle to set these on....lol

Sounds like Ebay might be your best bet. Nice clock Robin.

I have a Michaels near me, that's where I got the face, globe and hands. The one's that came with the workings were cruddy. When I searched ebay I found hundreds, too many to count...

kjk: My first try on Fluorite was about 5 years ago. Pre-shaped rough with dremel then used a 3 # rotary start to finish 90-220-500-TXP polish,all with ceramic fill. Nov 6, 2024 22:06:16 GMT -5

kjk: Second attempt with fluorite, 3# rotary for stages 1 thru 3 with 90-220-700 all with ceramic. Stage 4 TV-5 with 1000 and ceramic. Stage 4 TV-5 with 1200 and corn cob. Looks Gem quality and ready for final polish. Nov 6, 2024 22:11:20 GMT -5

kjk: looking for suggestions on final polish for Fluorite. Been sitting on these gems for a while because I don't want to bust them up like my first try. Have been leaning towards TV-5 with #61 Rapid Polish, ceramic, 1/2 cup water, TV-5 approx 60v (1/2 speed) Nov 6, 2024 22:21:39 GMT -5

rocknrob: That had better be a good sandwich for that price, otherwise you're better off making one yourself. Nov 10, 2024 21:10:43 GMT -5

amygdule: Her sandwich taste better... Nov 11, 2024 17:07:29 GMT -5 *

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
