Dang, Edge, next time I'm out in NH, visiting my Mom, I'm going to look you up! I'd really like to see your shop and watch you work.

You are more than welcome to stop by, however our house will be placed back on the market next Spring and if it sells we will be making a 6 month road trip culminating in a move to Colorado.

Where do you buy the movement for the clock?

This was a German movement by Hermle that I purchased from http://www.klockit.com/, although I really do not like dealing with them in general. I only used them this time due to time constraints, as I prefer to buy from http://www.murrayclock.com/. Since Murray Clock is located in Canada, however, their shipments usually take a bit longer at customs and it was time I could not afford. The whole project was completed in less than two weeks from the time the order was placed, and built in 5 days from the time the movement arrived.

Hey, Edge. . . when you do these projects do you compile the construction photos and give them to your clients/patrons/recipients?

It depends on the client; some I do, and some I don't. In general I do not take process pictures of every project, however that is something that I am doing more of lately, mostly for my own benefit. Most clients like to get the original, scaled, and hand drawn presentation drawings that I make prior to beginning the project, and many of those get framed by the new owner.

Beautiful work. I always thought I would be good at that as I was quite good at math geometry, but got to college had too much fun and lost interest. You make it look easy and I am sure it is not.
