i am an intermediate woodworker. i loved the tall case clock in the magazine from lonnie bird. however i don’t have the experience with all the dovetail work on the top of the clock. does anyone know of a more simple plan with the same style. i love the body of the clock.

i thought i would send a pic showing my latest piece to give folks an idea of how bad or good i am. is the tall case clock out of my league?
Bob,
Only if you dont try is something out of your league.By the way nice hutch, I like the legs.
Tim
Build a clock that matches the hutch.
bob,
I'm pretty sure that Carlyle Lynch drew up a set of plans for a simple tall case clock. The plans are advertised in the back of FWW in the claasified section. I've seen them on line but cannot recall where.
Regards,
Ray
Try making some simple boxes maybe 4" square out of scrap hardwood using dovetails. After 3 or 4 tries, you'll be able to decide whether it's something you can pull off, or out of your league.
If you build it - he will come.
