Goalie is the Athletic Trainer for the Rapid City Rush hockey team- this clock, and one out of oak, will be given as gifts to a couple people that have gone out of their way to support a poor Michigan guy living in South Dakota. He really loves the area, and is excited to start his 3rd season with the team this fall. Goalie Mom is very excited that he will be visiting the end of the month.

Is that the wordsmith mantle clock from about 10+ years ago?
I built about 5 of them.....funny but the one I built for us still is in the shop awaiting the movements. Been about 10yrs now....can't rush these things &#128521;

A good eye- yes it is the Woodsmith plan. May be from MIRE than 10 years ago. First one I built was curly maple. Then I made several from oak- gifts for coaches and other team folks as Goalie was playing.

Really nice work. does the front open, or is it sealed?
I only do woodworking to justify my true hobby...Tool Collecting!

Very nice. I remember that Woodsmith project. I built a couple of them for X-max presents soon after those plans came out and they were very well received. The drawer is functional in the plans, and that's how I built mine. The battery for the clock is integral with the clock movement.
