Source for Clock Dials with Custom Text/Typesetting - Ron Brese - 09-15-2016 When I was a full time furniture maker I made several clocks. At that time there was a company in Marietta Ga. where I purchased clock dials with custom Typesetting.  I've made some clocks recently and found that the source for those dial no longer exist. That being the case I decided to set up for making these dials and have just launched this as a new product offering from "Brese Plane". Below is a link to my blog that includes the initial offering. http://breseplane.blogspot.com/ Ron Example RE: Source for Clock Dials with Custom Text/Typesetting - Shop Dad - 09-15-2016 Those look great Ron. I hope to make some clocks in the future so I'm glad to have the resource. Doug RE: Source for Clock Dials with Custom Text/Typesetting - cputnam - 09-16-2016 Nice! I've clipped your message for future reference. RE: Source for Clock Dials with Custom Text/Typesetting - Mike Brady - 09-16-2016 Great idea Ron. I'm looking for someone who can take that artwork and etch it on copper, preferably planished (hand-hammered) copper.  If you check with Megan from Pop Wood, or even Chris Schwarz, the magazine once did a Stickley clock with a custom paper face that I think was done by someone in Cincy.  The process I'm looking for is taking that clock face and photo etching onto the copper. RE: Source for Clock Dials with Custom Text/Typesetting - clockman - 09-16-2016 nice looking dial RE: Source for Clock Dials with Custom Text/Typesetting - Ron Brese - 09-17-2016 Mike that would certainly make for a nice dial for an Art and Crafts style clock. The hammered copper is a very nice look. Ron
