Industria Synchroon - Project of the Month MARCH 2012

[mtylerfl]

Hello,

Here is a preview of the next Project of the Month (for MARCH 2012), the Industria Synchroon.

Here is a unique mantle/table clock reminiscent of the late eighteenth century industrial age. The Industria Synchroon clock makes a fun and bold design statement in your home or business!

The project uses the 1/16" Carving Bit and the 1/8" Cutting Bit. The overall dimensions of the finished project are about 14" x 8½" x 3" deep.


Main items you will need:

1) The Project Files (included):
• Board_1.mpc
• Board_2.mpc

2) Boards with the following dimensions:
Board 1: .75" x 11" x 27"
Board 2: .75" x 11" x 28"

(NOTE: Do not use boards that are smaller than specified above, or if you are using a sled, you can subtract 7" from the length of the board and have the sled provide the extra 7" required)


3) A 3¼" clock insert (we used model #15559 from http://www.klockit.com)

4) Sandpaper, wood glue, epoxy, ¼" dia. wooden dowels and dowel buttons, stain or paint and clear finish

5) A Dremel-type rotary tool with assorted sanding wheels and bits to sand small details and speed up preparation for finishing.

Apply stain/paint and clearcoat of your choice.

I plan to finish my own Industria Synchroon (made from Select Pine) using a variety of Sculpt Nouveau metallic paints. I decided this too late to include the final finished photos at the moment...but watch this CarveWright Forum thread for the final pics and finishing details!

Thanks, everyone!

will it be available tomorrow? or in a couple days?

I know LHR always strives to release the POM's by the end of day on the 1st of each month (unless it's a holiday or weekend or something), but can actually be anytime during the first week of any given month. I was much later than usual getting the files to them...since I decided just several days ago to apply the Sculpt Nouveau metallics, my order had not arrived in time to make the deadline for on-time release, so wrapped the instructions up and sent the files.


Keep an eye out for photos of the "finished" Synchroon! (paint...must dry faster...faster...)
