This clock captures the essence of those classic clocks, with a modern quartz clock movement to accurately and dependably display the time of day, with a quality pendulum that provides the classic “wig-wag” visual aspect of this clock. The Texas Wall Clock will provide many years of pleasure, with its classic good looks. 

Full-size Templates and instructions are provided for woodworking parts and for etching a fancy design in the window glass.

About the Author:

While attending university, the author used his woodworking and design skills to build large and small clocks to sell and help pay for his tuition and books. Following his passion for clocks, he designed clocks that resemble Classic clocks, yet are simple enough to be built using basic woodworking tools that most woodworking hobbyists have on hand (table saw and router). The author’s instruction manuals are a result of a desire to help other woodworkers to have simple, easy-to-follow procedures for making heirloom-quality clocks for themselves, for family and friends, or just to sell for a profit.
