    Default February 2015 Project of the Month - The Noble Pedestal Clock

    Hello,

    The Noble Pedestal Clock combines functionality with pleasing aesthetics for your home decor. Use it for yourself, give as a gift or sell this unique clock at Arts & Craft venues for extra income. This project features segmented layer construction with a secure mortise and tenon method of attaching the pedestal to the base component.

    The project uses just the 1/16" Carving Bit and the 1/8" Cutting Bit. No other bits are required. The Nobel Pedestal Clock is about is about 6.5" wide 6" deep x 12.7" tall.

    Main items you will need:
    1) The Project Files (included):
    • Clock_Face-Back.mpc
    • Middle_and_Base.mpc
    • Pedestal_Parts.mpc

    2) Boards with the following dimensions:
    Face-Back: 0.75" x 7.2" x 20.5"
    Middle_Base: 0.75" x 11" x 21.5"
    Pedestal_Parts: 0.5" x 5.5" x 17.5"

    Do not use boards that are smaller than specified above unless using an appropriate jig. Larger boards are fine in all cases.

    3) A 3½" clock insert (we used model #15455 from http://www.klockit.com)

    4) Sandpaper, glue, epoxy, stain and/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. Here’s what I used on my Noble Pedestal Clock made from Select Pine:

    • Rust-Oleum Ultimate Stain - Black Cherry
    • Several coats spray Shellac
    • Several coats of Krylon Clear Acrylic spray

    Thank you all! This project uses an assembly-layer technique that could be used/modified for a lot of other projects. I hope it inspires!
